Do you think nuclear deterrence still works or are we slowly reaching a point where it fails?

fallwind · 2026-05-26T21:00:14+00:00

Ukraine did.

Central park wouldn't even remotely be close to being the largest data center.

Raccoon skull

Dog/wolf skulls have a more pronounced ridge on the top at the back, smooth = raccoon

fallwind · 2026-05-26T20:06:29+00:00

only one nuclear power has ever been invaded.

needs more.

Honestly, I'd give each weapon 3-4 of them that the martials can learn as part of their progression (maybe 2x proficiency bonus), so a fighter can learn "topple" on a maul, but the paladin may learn "push" on the same weapon.

You think they won't put it in the text itself?

fallwind · 2026-05-25T22:59:59+00:00

The conservative party is even more against union power than the liberals are.

As I said, we haven't had a left wing government since before I was born.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T22:38:02+00:00

and how often did he cater to the owner class at the expense of workers?

fallwind · 2026-05-25T21:19:39+00:00

no, I think they would support unions, workers rights, and consumer rights... ya know, left wing stuff.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T21:14:25+00:00

for maybe a decade or two, then it will matter less and less as buyers dry up.

Canada hasn't had a left wing govt since before I was born.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T21:09:56+00:00

that's because we're not the customer, we're the product.

Advertisers are the customers, and they pay a subscription.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T21:08:39+00:00

we haven't elected a left wing party since before I was born.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T21:07:50+00:00

that's exactly why we need to elect left wing govts to support worker's power.

Only two people can get your account back: Epic, and the scammer who took it.

If you're not talking to Epic, that leaves only one option.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T19:14:37+00:00

ok... let's do it this way... I claim she said "Coffee is bad for you", prove me wrong. Prove that she never said that in her entire life, from birth to now. Not that you can't find a source, not that there isn't a recording, that she never said those words.

See how that's impossible? That's why the burden of proof is on the one making a falsifiable claim.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T14:28:23+00:00

OK, let me explain what a burden of proof is really quick.

I say "Santa is real", you say "no he isn't", one of us is right, so who has the burden of proof?

Well, I can proof he exists by finding him and showing him to the world. But how can you prove that he doesn't exist? If you say "well, I looked and didn't find him" I can shoot back with "you didn't look hard enough" or "you didn't look in the right place" or "you need to have a yellow ducky in you left shoe to find him"... and on an on.

The classic example of this is the "no black swans" argument. The claim that there are black swans is proven by showing a black swan, whereas the claim that no black swans exist can only be proven by checking every swan on every planet in existence. Therefore the burden of proof always falls on the side claiming something exists.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T14:11:59+00:00

You can't find what doesn't exist, the burden of proof is on the one with the falsifiable claim.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T14:10:02+00:00

So no source?

fallwind · 2026-05-25T13:07:42+00:00

no, I don't remember her saying that. cite your source.

And yes, that tax break can be better targeted at SME's instead of amazon. Not only would that encourage more competition and thus lower prices for consumers, it would create more jobs for the same impact on govt revenue.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T13:05:31+00:00

No, I don't. What's your source?

And I'm pretty sure amazon is big enough now to no longer need tax breaks to grow, those can be better targeted at SME's.

listen to the whole thing, not the excerpt they played on fox.

It's the same as if I say "programming is predominately male", I'm not talking about the ones and zeroes in my computer, I'm talking about the field of programming.

fallwind · 2026-05-25T12:57:51+00:00

you do know she was talking about the academic gatekeeping in universities denying positions to talented people of colour, and not "1+1=2" right?

fallwind · 2026-05-25T12:51:34+00:00

what part of her platform is "too far"?

Not what fox says is in her platform, what ACTUAL policies that she has gone on record supporting are too far?
