I got accused of “sealioning” the other day. This wasn’t a term they taught back in my CX debate days, so I had to look it up. Fortunately, the usual leftist almanacs have helpful entries.
Merriam-Webster: “‘Sealioning’ is a form of trolling meant to exhaust the other debate participant with no intention of real discourse.“
Hold up. “intention” is part of the definition? So in order to identify if someone is sealioning, you have to infer intent? First red flag.
Wikipedia: Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”
So many subjective words in that definition. Another red flag. Also, note the strong focus on intent yet again.
Intent is unprovable in rational debate, which is why rational definitions may not depend on it. Once you remove the unprovable intent element, the definition of sealioning is indistinguishable from an attempt at reasoned debate.
Which, I conclude, is the point of the rhetorical device.
Accusing someone of sealioning is an ad hominem argument which has almost no connotative meaning, and would be ineffective as an argument in a rational debate setting. Fortunately for its users, very little debate happens in a formal setting, and the accusation is perfect for an internet forum like reddit or twitter. Like so many other appeals to emotion, the insinuation of bad faith is a sure way to derail an argument that you’re losing. It shifts the discussion away from the validity of the argument, and to tone where the accuser can claim the high ground.
So the next time somebody accuses me of sealioning, I can conclude that they have run out of real arguments, and are just falling back on personal attacks out of reflex, at which point, I can comfortably declare victory in the discussion.

burning fuel to rotate your wind turbines

How do we rotate a #windmill so it's pointed towards the wind? Most windmills, only the top moves, but this windmill can move completely. It's call...
@zleap of course not those in their right mind, but that isn't the point.
criminalizing people for what amounts to "doing nothing" doesn't work.

> [...] and if social services see the same they may think the same way and take the child in to care.
let me rephrase:
they should leave and otherwise they'd be targeted by one of the most sinister forms of state violence, "taking kids away".
that's exactly the line of thought responsible for the political situation the west is in.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️
(Boosts appreciated)
The #Dillo package for #Debian will be removed from the repositories in two weeks.
https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues/230
The current maintainer seems to be unable to continue taking care of it, and I'm not familiar with Debian packages to maintain it myself.
Is there a Debian maintainer who could help us by adopting it? We already have a working package:
can i get some white pills? i need some white pills, please.

The Intel fiasco is a key indicator of how reshoring is going to fail. The CHIPS Act was $50 billion and promised 15,000 new jobs, and instead Intel skimmed their money and are now firing 10,000 people. So here's likely what will happen
1. US domestic industry becomes completely uncompetitive and remains so for at least 10-15 years
2. TSMC becomes the new de facto monopoly
3. US becomes completely reliant in TSMC, in the event of Taiwan being annexed the American MIC copes about it being "just fine" that all their hardware has backdoors built into them by the Chinese.

I have to say I use the #GNU #coretools more and more and really love the simplicity of it.
So flexible, so good to use. So fast, so widely available. Simply amazing!
@Philsturgeon
the wind turbine part contains some things i'd strongly disagree on, on other i agree.
wind turbines are not normal "buildings". birds do collide with windows, yes. they don't collide with lamp posts or broadcast towers. those structures don't move at high rotational speeds not found in nature.
people shooting random birds is a completely different thing. it's not a side effect but shit problem handling - just because other people mistreat their kids i don't have to and it doesn't make it ok if i do.
cats are a giant problem, that's why i deal with mice problems with traps instead of getting a cat.
i have no solid numbers for cars. i hit one pidgeon in 20 years of driving.
reinforcing concrete with turbine blades doubles the problem instead of solving it. concrete reinforced with steel is harmless, concrete mixed with epoxy is just increading the volume of problematic waste. i again don't care if this is already practiced with other waste. wind turbines are effective microplastic generators in their operative life and beyond.
girls band cry is pretty cute
i absolutely have to get better at ignoring the news.

true for literally everything including fitness, health, finance, education, etc etc. stop defeating yourselves!
@Philsturgeon i would love if greens would act in an ecological way but they choose to do things like putting wind turbines everywhere, including important bird habitats, to save 0.1% of global CO2 emissions.
@arrrg @Philsturgeon yet in west germany environmental protection was much better than in gdr.

@graf @phnt @Paultron @mrsaturday @sun Efficiency is a white-supremacist construct, sir. Your biases are problematic.
@Czerion danke, dir auch! :)

@DCR very well written.
i know some of my late relatives would just be sincerely sad about this. not even angry, but sad someone does this. sometimes their faith was the only thing mentally helping them and now it's mocked. it's repulsive.
i'm pissed that seemingly every cultural heritage is protected from shit like this but the european heritage. be it last supper or feast of the gods. it can be mocked and insulted and twisted into bizarre things and if someone dares to criticize it he's evil, against "progress" and should be happy to not be canceled and debanked.
the same kind of assholes are painting stongehenge for their shit political ideology.
those people have no respect for what my ancestors, remote and close, did and which values they had but at the same time want to be respected and have pride. if you base culture on mockery of the existing instead of newly created beauty it will not end well.
it pisses me off and it's morally repulsive.

The tableau was arranged like The Last Supper by Da Vinci, period.
I'm not baptized and I'm not religious.
What bothers me is that Jesus embodies certain values, and I find it creepy that he and these values have been replaced by a extremely made-up (= fake) obese person in tasteless clothes.
The obese people I know don't think their fat is great. They suffer from health issues and a poor quality of life.
