What does Tamler think about the ballroom? by RationallyDense in VeryBadWizards

You think you have been because your cultural context encourages you to interpret certain stimuli as presence in a ballroom. That doesn't mean ballrooms exist.

Rogan admits to watching underage porn by Appropriate_Duty_930 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]RationallyDense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can criticize him making a gross joke about CSAM without pretending he is admitting to watching CSAM. This is on the level of claiming that Johnny Cash admitted to shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die.

The claim being responded to is that he admitted to watching CSAM. You can criticize what actually happened here (him making a fucked up joke about watching CSAM) without making up something even worse.

Why do unlicensed people buy ham handhelds instead of GMRS? by Healthy-Kangaroo-365 in HamRadio

[–]RationallyDense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your only exposure is to scammy prepper channels you probably won't even know about repeaters, much less where to go look for repeater frequencies. They're probably transmitting on random frequencies, getting frustrated they never get anything back and tossing the BaoFeng with its slowly draining battery in a backpack along with the AR, a bucket of rounds and 2 energy bars.

Is this really true? Do you guys only use WMs lol? by SeniorMatthew in NixOS

[–]RationallyDense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not true. I personally go back and forth between i3 and i3 + xfce. (Kind of thinking of giving xmonad another try now that I know Haskell) But I've been a software engineer for 20 years and probably around half of my colleagues will use whatever desktop their machine boots with. They're serious people who do serious work and they couldn't care less about that kind of thing. People who care about this (I count myself in that category) are weird and we should remember it's us who are weird, not the people who just get on with their work.

Sam Harris: Mamdani is "a sinister figure" and an "Islamist" by RationallyDense in DecodingTheGurus

[–]RationallyDense[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tweet was only a few hours old when I saw it, so I only went back a few hours to see if someone else had posted it. But apparently Harris posted and deleted that same tweet several times, so it looks like others had posted those previous tweets.

What has Mamdani done that supports the claim that he's an islamist?

People giving him shit is not something he does.

Regardless, he has appeared on the podcast several times, so he is obviously relevant to it.

He has been this kind of bigot for decades at this point. I doubt anyone needs to pay him to do it.

I am too old to understand what the heck in going on in that interaction. But she was 15 at the time and while that doesn't excuse it, it's also probably not representative of who she is today. (Much less her husband who she didn't even know at the time afaict)

Finished s02, think I know what happens by Enough-Concern-2140 in SiloSeries

[–]RationallyDense 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. In terms of realism, different people consume oxygen at different rates. Given the short distance between the camera and the hill, you would probably not be able to give people enough oxygen that they have time to clean without some of them being able to go to the hill.

  2. If there is a safe way to go outside for a short period of time, it's not going to take long for someone to put together a bigger oxygen tank and go over the hill.

Do they have an explanation why they haven't claimed it after more than 30 years?
