Why is India so small on the map? I am confused by the size choices here. Is it based on neighboring nations?

Edit: ya know, I really should'a read the text.

Second, we're talking about ethnicity here, not religion. Jews are also an ethnic group. Y-DNA is very relevant.

Ethnicity is not what was being talked about just now; You were talking about DNA lineage.

Ethnicity deals with cultural self-identity, which includes religion and does not deal at all with DNA relation.

My understanding, though, is that Jewish culture actually has a long history of genealogy via family tree mapping long before DNA testing was available. That does have some ethnic connection as a cultural tradition.

Don't forget it's also inherently misogynistic and attacks cis women all the time anyways.

Yeah, it's called a Widlerizer.

For those that don't know and because TropicalDingdong was a ding-dong and didn't cite their quote, this is a quote from a letter written by Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr during his time in jail after a protest.

Edit: He was a Reverend and a doctor, so I got mixed up getting his titles right.

I think this is coming from a "plugins enshittify projects" mentality where the assumptions are:

  • code bases should be as succinct and stable as possible.
  • plugins add large amounts of unused code and obfuscate many granular aspects of program execution, increasing debug and research time.

Seems that the author views that the above devs chose to use plugins instead of writing their own code and shot themselves in the foot by doing so. The final portion seems to suggest that the person pushing all these changes then bobs out before any of the problems caused by these changes actually get solved.

Nah, their brains are parallelized and treat each argument as a seperate process. Since information is stored as private for each in process, they can't access certain talking points for certain arguments. If you bring up information that the current argument isn't privileged to access, they have to switch to an argument that does have access, at which point they can't access the previous argument's information.

If they didn't have this design, rogue processes might be able to cause sensitive information to be accessed by unprivileged users (normie users don't have the privilege to see data of white power users), or worse, you could get a pointer loop in their memory addresses which could lead to a system lock-up. /j

The process of collective disarming is the path towards growing past war. And that first step is the collective banning of manufacturing such weapons.

Yep. Big bird's description is the increase of exploitation on the workers. Wage theft is denying wages you are due. Very similar in how they effect you and how they feel, definitionally different.

For by death is wrought greater change than hath been shown. Whereas in general the spirit that removed cometh back upon occasion, and is sometimes seen of those in flesh (appearing in the form of the body it bore) yet it hath happened that the veritable body without the spirit hath walked. And it is attested of those encountering who have lived to speak thereon that a lich so raised up hath no natural affection, nor remembrance thereof, but only hate. Also, it is known that some spirits which in life were benign become by death evil altogether.

  • Hali, the Philosopher, from "Can Such Things Be?" By Ambrose Bierce in "The Death of Halpin Frayser"

~~For there be divers sorts of death—some wherein the body remaineth; and in some it vanisheth quite away with the spirit. This commonly occurreth only in solitude (such is God's will) and, none seeing the end, we say that man is lost, or gone on a long journey—which indeed he hath; but sometimes it hath happened in the sight of many, as abundant testimony showeth. In one kind of death the spirit also dieth, and this it hath been known to do while yet the body was in vigor for many years. Sometimes, as is veritably attested, it dieth with the body, but after a season is raised up again in that place where the body did decay.~~ woops, wrong Hali Qoute
