No. Which is why everybody who actually wants to change things hates individualists.

Can't wait to see how many times tankie mods make the same "mistake" before you realize that the real mistake was letting tankies into this site.

Reply to Neighborhood lockdown after officer’s shooting is troubling, civil liberties lawyers say by treehugger
Curioser and curioser: apparently the cop was shot by his own gun and was planning on testifying against other cops.
No wonder they locked down the whole neighborhood to find out if anybody saw anything. Just wanted to make sure nobody caught them doing in one of their own.

Reply to [META] If this is meant to be a non political forum, shouldn't you change the forum description? by BabyCroc
Is this supposed to be a non-political forum? I mean, the idea of free software is inherently a political one, isn't it?

Socialism isn't "transitional," it's simply a state (as in a condition or circumstance, not a nation state) where workers own the means of production (and writ greater, is often meant to mean any society in which all of its resources and productive outputs are used for the greater collective good, this being the assumed logical outcome of non-privatized resources).

I used avidemux now (mostly for making gifs from videos and cutting the resolution and bitrate on things I want to stream). I'm pretty sure avidemux works as a frontend for ffmpeg as well as incorporating other features, but I hope if anyone is more familiar with it than I that they will correct me if I'm wrong.

While I wouldn't want to have subs with extreme rules differences like "It's okay to be a racist piece of shit here," the idea of merging threads between subs is iffy because different subs may have different communicative norms or ideological perspectives that could make partitioning discussions a reasonable choice.
I'd rather not force carnists into vegan threads or egoists into conversations about actual anarchism, for example. It's bad enough when people like that just go out of their way to tell other people that they're being wrong unsolicited.
If someone involved in two different subs talking about the same thing thinks it would be fruitful to crosslink them, they can probably do that themselves. At most I could see how an automatic reddit-like "Other Discussions" tab could help (even that I'm opposed to unless some economy of scale makes it seem more useful than conscious cross-linking), but I'm definitely against the idea of auto-merging.

What's really funny is that this site was started largely because of a crackdown on leftist users of Reddit. It was never an attempt to escape ideas or people that we didn't like. They were kicking us out and attacking us because they wanted to shut down what we were saying.

Little Caesar's is the only true pizza of the left and I am prepared to split the party over this.

Reply to America is facing an epistemic crisis by squirrels
Wow it's almost like concepts such as "truth" and "knowledge" aren't universal but are simply constructed through power. If only there were some branch of thought that acknowledged this and people had actually taken it seriously instead of spending decades disparaging it as foolish and baseless.

Reply to Is it really wise to praise people like Castro, Mao, Lenin and Stalin when they never actually achieved communism and instead killed a lot of people they shouldn't have killed? by BabyCroc
Let's divide humanity up into two groups: people who achieved full communism and people who are fucking shit. That is surely a productive basis on which to judge people.

Reply to comment by goof_goat in Is Debate Useful? A Discussion With PhilosophyTube by ContraPoints by goof_goat
It's a reference to the movie "PCU," where one of the characters posits the Caine-Hackman Theory, whereby "no matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV."
He utters the above line, minus the switched names, upon seeing A Bridge Too Far, which stars both of them.

It's been fun watching Democrats run down their checklist of things that are surely going to stop Trump and seeing each one fail in succession, but eventually it just becomes embarrassing.
