@boomzilla said in Copydumb:
I'm just not totally convinced that the updates to it are really bad.
It's a tricky point because most of the impact is projects that we don't see because they'd fall afoul of copyright law. One thing we can see, however is out of print books, which typically end up selling for multiples of their original price on amazon, so we know there is still demand, but the publishers don't make additional copies available at any price.
Civilization will either crash or take over everything.
My money's on it taking over everything, then crashing.

@Polygeekery said in United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why:
That is one way to look at it, sure. But also, if those 4 people did not get to the other location in time, an entire flight's worth of passengers would have been delayed for hours as it would not have had enough crew to take off.
They were damned if they did and damned if they didn't.
This is one of those situations where, if someone asked me what I would have done in the situation, my answer would have been: "I wouldn't have allowed myself to get into that situation." If you find out you need to put 4 employees on a plane after it's already boarded, things have already gone drastically wrong. So, yeah, they deserve to be damned either way.
By the way, I do wonder about the other people on the plane. I would have taken the $800 and free hotel stay in a heartbeat.

That looks to me like a sure sign that you're not supposed to talk about the rules. Also a sure sign to go somewhere else where the moderators aren't on power trips.

On the contrary, the fake two-party system is perfectly on topic as an evil idea. Having the two parties bicker about cosmetic issues and issues that can't really be resolved to anyone's satisfaction is the perfect distraction from the fact that there's no significant difference in what the parties do when in power.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe call it the Church of Progressive Science and make Das Kapital and An Inconvenient Truth two of the primary sacred texts.
It lacks falsifiability because there's EVIDENCE THAT PROVES IT.
The part you have in all caps is just one more thing we disagree about.
Also, you seem to be using a different definition of falsifiability than the rest of us.

@djls45 said in Fuck this place:
I suppose:
"directly, negatively" vs. "indirectly, negatively" vs. "directly, non-positively" vs. "indirectly, non-positively"
And yes, how it impacts is relevant. I think the libertarian position is that laws can be against only direct physical harm; indirect harm, psychological harm, and arbitrary harm to a class (instead of to individuals) ought not have laws against them, because they would encroach on direct, personal freedom.
A big part of Libertarianism is the idea that you don't get more rights just because you're part of a large group. If government derives its power from the consent of the governed, then it really only has the right to do things the people it governs have the right to do. For example, government has the right to make laws against violent and property crimes because people have the right to defend themselves and their property.
Whether the above is realistic is a question I leave to the reader. As for my personal opinion, I'll just say that I'm no longer a Libertarian Party member and leave it at that.
@darkmatter I'm pretty sure this has already happened.
