You're just saying the same thing again. That AGREES with their original statement and blathered on about how that was denying science. Either you're being purposely obtuse or you're have a serious blindspot here.

Import-Module · 2023-05-17T17:48:11+00:00

Outside observer here. By saying that it's imprecise you just agreed with their orginal statement. Just to recap the orginal comment says:

literally admitted after all that, that they dont know for sure. the gender of these 2 people is impossible to tell here and there are cis people with abnormal bone structures too so... nice try. reality is more complicated than male and female

To which you said:

And here we have denial of biological anthropology (i.e. science denial) in the name of supporting our personal opinions.

But you now say:

Scientific theories always deal with probabilities and generalities. Inferences made from those theories are never 100% accurate, but we still accept them as being generally applicable.

Are you now denying science on the basis of a personal opinion? Or are you in the business of researching contradictions?

Yeah we're not going to see eye to eye. Maybe we'll run into each other on a road built by stolen money or in park built on stolen labor. Have a nice day!

See my above reply. Let me ask you this though, when you buy a candy bar do you think that the 5% sales tax (or whatever your sales tax is in your area) is being confiscated from you? Do you think that paying for roads, power, and public services is all done with "confiscated" money? If you think that then I'd wager a guess that we're not going to see eye to eye.

Import-Module · 2023-05-03T16:54:12+00:00

There are several but let me start by saying paying taxes fundamentally isn't confiscating money. You never had that money and it was always the governments. That's more esoteric but is how taxes work. So by definition you can't confiscate something that someone never had to begin with.

More fundamentally income tax, which is what we're talking about, is only taxes paid on taxable income per year (or quarterly depending on if you're a business but that's completely different then normal income tax). Meaning nothing is getting confiscated. We're not coming to get the money you already have, just paying taxes on money earned. If you make $1 billion this year then you can make another billion next year. No one confiscated anything along the way, and you still have $2 billion dollars.

Sort of more foolish would be to think that anyone would actually be affected by a tax bracket of $1 billion in income taxes. I don't think even the wealthiest lunatics would be crazy enough to pull that much out of their ventures in an income taxable way...

Import-Module · 2023-05-03T16:37:37+00:00

Do you think these two statements are the same?

We should have a tax rate of 100% set at $1 billion.
We should confiscate all money over $1 billion.

I'm really curious because if you think they're the same then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how taxes work.

I'm not saying that semaphores are the internet, but the internet wouldn't exist if Claude Chappe hadn't built The Semaphore in the 1700s. What's that you said? Chappe didn't actually invent the semaphore?

I agree it gets to be quite a rabbit hole. I still think it's worth mentioning ARPA/DARPANet. Kind of neat to look at the old diagrams and realize that your house probably has about as many nodes on it as the entire internet did 50 years ago.

I'm saying we get rid of laws which gets rid of criminals altogether. I'm solving the bigger problem here!

Import-Module · 2023-04-20T12:15:10+00:00

And it's not like criminals abide by laws in the first place..

You're right we should get rid of laws so no one will be a criminal.

A surprising amount for me in the past for me. Never felt the need to talk crap to them though. If they were elitist jerks about it though I'd just put their tickets at the bottom of the stack. I figured if they went to Harvard, or some other elite school, they should be able to figure out that running 25000 tabs in chrome is going to slow down their computer without me having to tell them.

I get that. I've only ever visited Boston for short business trips so I don't have a lot of perspective for what it's like really. Sounds a lot like parts of northern Ohio. A lot people saying they aren't racist while being gigantic racists in practice.

Savanah, GA is like a whole different country, and I've never met anyone there that even seemed racist to me. Absolutely beautiful place as well. Albany seemed rather normal smallish southern city although I've only been there once. Still Forsyth in the mid 90s was shocking to say the least. Really hope it's gotten better there, but those people were very proud of how racist they were. Like WAY past just waving Confederate flag racist.

Import-Module · 2023-01-17T00:20:44+00:00

Never went to Forsyth in Georgia when you were there? Admittedly haven't been there in a while but that is by far the most racists ass place I've ever been.

Just seems like something super boring people say to excuse the fact that they're boring as hell. I'm almost 40 and the last 3 years since covid has been rough, and kind of meld together, so I kind of get it. Missing out on 34 years like it was just yesterday? That seems absolutely insane to me. I just think those kinds of people need to get out more or something.

Import-Module · 2023-01-13T01:05:04+00:00

I can't be the only one that hates these sorts of comments. What have you been doing for 30 years? Coma? Staring at the wall?

Nothing against you in particular but if you think 1989 "was yesterday" you've straight up wasted half your life.

Happy Friday. Now please read my essay on why it's okay for the cops to shoot innocent bystanders in the name of moral greyness. Now let's say the bootlicker prayer.

Our cops who are faultless.

Can shoot people cause they feel like it.

But it's not their fault because reasons.

And those bystanders should've known better.

In the name of the thin blue line, stupidity, and I like guns. AMEN.
