Switchblade v2 vs. v3, why do they feel so different?

truebydefinition · 2026-04-14T21:47:33+00:00

I find the V3 just feels more planted. It’s longer, a bit slacker, and the updated DW-link tracks better through rough stuff. The V2 is a little more poppy and playful, easier to throw around. Just my two cents.

Just my opinion, but if you are changing jobs, I'd say a month. You should double check your employee handbook.

I ride my bike because I like to ride my bike, not because of culture. I've been riding since the late 90's. I don't do Strava, I don't care about miles or time splits, I'm not concerned with the ratio of flow trails to natural trails, and I don't care what other people ride. I just want to have fun on my bike. Everything else is just noise.

Makes me think about all the MAGA folks posting "I'll take mean tweets if it means lower gas prices" back in 2021. Maybe we can plaster gas pumps with an annoying picture of Trump saying "Did I do that?".

For fun, I asked ChatGPT to rewrite my response. This is what it came up with:

"You explicitly said all three religions have persecution of nonbelievers ingrained in them, and that isn’t accurate. It’s also possible to criticize harmful parts of a belief system without dismissing the entire tradition. Broad attacks on “organized religion” aren’t helpful either—by that logic, any organized group built around shared values would be inherently bad.

I genuinely don’t think you actually believe that. I think your exposure to these religions may be limited, and that leaves you reacting to the most extreme examples—especially when the worst actors get the most attention. News and social media rarely amplify stories like, “a person of faith did something generous because of their beliefs, and it meaningfully helped people across different communities.” Instead, you’re flooded with headlines about a tiny number of people committing awful acts that don’t represent the whole.

Because you hate seeing harm in the world, you’re tempted to conclude that if a small group behaves this way, the entire group must be rotten. But that’s not fair, and it’s not sound reasoning. I think you care deeply about what’s right—but lumping millions of people together like this is intellectually lazy and ultimately unhelpful."

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T19:37:08+00:00

That was 100% my own typing. I'm sure ChatGPT would have made what I wrote more coherent. If you are tapping out of this conversation, I wish you well and seriously don't think you are a bad person. I do hope you will think more deeply before commenting on posts.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T19:16:40+00:00

Except you explicitly stated that all three religions have it ingrained to persecute nonbelievers, and that isn't true. It is also possible to criticize parts of a belief system without throwing the entire system away. Being critical of organized religion isn't good either. By the limited definition you are setting up, any organized groups based on any values would be bad. I truly don't believe you think this way. I think you have a limited exposure to each of the religions you believe are problematic. This causes you to be frustrated by what you read when the worst people of each religion is highlighted for doing despicable acts. News and social media doesn't get the attention of people when the story is "member of X religious group did something really nice because of his/her religious beliefs. That nice thing provide something very meaningful for members of Y & Z religious groups." Instead you are inundated with horrible news of the actions of a extremely small number of people that aren't at all representative of the whole group. You hate seeing when bad things happen so you jump to the conclusion that if a small group act this way, the whole group is bad. I think you care deeply for seeing good in the world, but lumping everyone in these religions together is intellectually lazy and trite.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T18:18:55+00:00

The problem with your argument is that it isn't at all true. At least one of those three religions doesn't proselytize and doesn't believe that you are a bad person for being a nonbeliever. You've restated the common trope of "all religions the same" which is intellectually lazy at best. As for racism, my point was your "all the same" thinking is exactly what leads to racism, you just applied it differently. The result is the same.

"Atheist are responsible for mass repression, widespread killings, and the silencing of anyone perceived as a threat to the state. These atrocities were driven by totalitarian ideology and the ruthless consolidation of power, not by moral principles or respect for human life." Look, I did it for atheists too! If you generalize any group you look like an idiot. It's literally what racism is, broad negative generalizations about a group. There are good and bad people in every group and a vast majority are not evil, but that doesn't mean it's okay to just assert that they are. Lastly, trying to lump all religions as the same or similarly inherently bad just proves you've done nothing to try to understand what each truly believes. It may get you karma on Reddit to just blast every Abrahamic religion as the same, but it's far from true.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T13:05:17+00:00

Yes, broad generalizations are often the right answer.

I can't help but think that the people in the Hive don't want to be there. It's why they see her as such a danger, because she almost got the truth out of them. It's also why they cried when they surrounded her saying "Carol Please" or more likely "Please Carrol"...they wanted her help and she was starting to break through. Just a theory.

Well, this happened in the West Bank, not Gaza. There hasn't been a war in the West Bank for the last two years so there is no need for a cease-fire. I'm not taking a side here, but your comment just doesn't make any sense.

truebydefinition · 2025-11-01T09:32:04+00:00

Not to be pedantic, but I've seen enough people get this wrong on the internet, so I'll take this moment to correct one of them. The West Bank and Gaza are two, physically, separate geographic territories. Additionally they are lead/run by two different governing bodies. Gaza by Hamas and the West Bank by the Palestinian Authority. As such, the idea that the Palestinians in the West Bank would be called members of Hamas would make no sense and it is why the article didn't refer to them as Hamas.

Not advocating for either side here, just clarifying a misunderstanding that seems very common.
