It’s better to hurt old people’s feelings than allow them to continue to debase themselves with the false belief that they’re competent.

It’s possible to have a readily applicable standard for polite interactions when we’re not divided by fascist rhetoric.

The way feminists relate to men’s issues is often founded in a universalizing noxious ideology of feminism. Men shouldn’t be feminists, they should be allies.

What I’m trying to say is: blocking isn’t the reason that our politics have entered into toxic polarization, fascism is the reason for that. There’s nothing really wrong with blocking.

That said they were duped by the “both sides are flawed” rhetoric for longer than they should have been. A Gen X myopia.

I forget which episode it was where they made it clear they understood they’d been duped, but it was after J6 as I recall.

the thing is

you don’t have to get past how full of himself the author is

the entire cult the author founded is in denial of the fascism

most people have bad taste. hpmor spreads vapid grandiose intellectualism and the people who like it should act more like skulblaka: they were trivially manipulated by a cult leader.

to be fair, though, eliezer yudkowsky is being sardonic in the OP text.

unironically, he ought to be next, and he better know it, and he better go quietly

learn to write.

But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted.

Yeah speak more carefully.

idk man you said we didn’t know if Trump was going to be like Sulla and give up his power and that’s a stupid fucking thing to say.

You’re an idiot because you think that Trump would ever resign like Sulla did.

If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people. You are an idiot.

I guess what I’m saying overall is Trump might, even if elected to a second term, still turn out to be the American Sulla instead of the American Caesar if you catch my drift.

This is stupid. You are an idiot. Shut the fuck up.

you should shut the fuck up with your ‘well actually’ de facto dictator apologia

Rome didn’t have that many ‘dictators’ give up power

the vast majority of societies with authoritarian dictators are dysfunctional

again: shut the fuck up.

this means that if Unity sends you a bill, you don’t have to pay it, and if they take you to court, you prove that you’re acting within the terms of the license you agreed to, which keeps your lawyer fees to a manageable level because you already have all the documents you need: the contract and your source code.

I mean right? IANAL.
