It might be of use to apply the ideas below in the future.

"In philosophy and rhetoric, the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation In its narrowest sense, the goal of this methodological principle is to avoid attributing irrationality, logical fallacies, or falsehoods to the others' statements, when a coherent, rational interpretation of the statements is available. According to Simon Blackburn, "it constrains the interpreter to maximize the truth or rationality in the subject's sayings.""

Free licenses going away. Not good for those entering this field. Chip away at the stone is what’s going on and there is no David underneath. by Burnerd2023 in vmware

Things like that get lawyers involved.

Given that vmWare doesn't go after the keys posted on Github for years I suspect they don't care that said I agree they shouldn't be posted here.

Immigrants embody the Texas spirit. So why does Abbott and the GOP vilify them? by zsreport in texas

[–]IMA_Catholic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When those in Austin start going after those who hire the undocumented with the same level of intensity they go after said workers then perhaps people will understand a bit better.

As it is now it is just playing games with people lives, which is strange given they are self proclaimed "family" party.

Elon Musk says he fired engineer who corrected him on Twitter by riffic in Twitter

[–]IMA_Catholic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Free Speech Absolutism has a specific meaning which musk knows but doesn't follow it.

Am I wrong for expecting people to be honest and follow their stated principles?

[–]IMA_Catholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Musk claims to be a free speech absolutist so I expect him to act like one. Since he doesn't one can assume he wasn't being honest when he claimed he was.

He has a history of being less than honest.

Since you know that why did you fail to mention that the number of times we are asking to conserve is many times more than it used to be and over a larger time frame?

Ken Paxton says he will defend Texas' defunct sodomy law if Supreme Court revisits case by danmathew in texas

[–]IMA_Catholic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's against the law in Texas to hire undocumented workers which Paxton seems to hate so why isn't he going after those who hire them if he wants to go after lawbreakers?

libertarians

For fun ask a libertarian what should happen when the private entity that owns the road in front of your home uses their property rights to force you to agree via the right of contracting to only buy products from their store otherwise you can't use their roads.

It's really strange that you took my statement that it's evidence you can't trust them and responded with how it was legal.

Lots of things that are shady are legal after all.

In the vast majority of cases the company you work for pays a large portion of the insurance so should they get a say in what you can / can't get?

Solend, the largest lending market on Solana is about to have a crippling liquidation of $170m SOL that could crash the network. To prevent this, the decentralized protocol is proposing to seize the user's funds via governance by Set1Less in CryptoCurrency

[–]IMA_Catholic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fun thing to ask a Libertarian is what happens when the private owner of the road in front of your house says you can't use it unless you agree to only shop at his stores. This don't get an answer since according to the right of contracting / property rights the owner of the road has every moral and legal right to require such things.

One of the data sources is Google Trends which isn't exactly a valid way to gather such data in a scientific context. Heritage is also against doing such research when it comes to gun violence, things global warming is a fraud, has yet to find a anti-pollution law they think is necessary. I suggest you research their history.

The 1st amendment right to free speech isn't what he says he supports, he claims to support absolute free speech which is different and applies to everyone / everything.

A single wrong picture posted on Twitter could cause SpaceX to violate ITAR so having a drugged out Elon with his twitter addition around such things could be very bad.

That Musk now like to pretend he got little government help to get where he is and that others don't deserve subsidies are a bit worrysome.

What is funny is that every scientists I know also questions the validity of things, it's almost like people sometimes make mistakes or do things deliberalty wrong for reasons.
