@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen it's easily done, most people are just whacking in a throwaway comment in between work or whatever

@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen no one is trying to trigger your fight or flight mechanism dude, it's all good 👍
@yes @wolf480pl @GluedToTheScreen @skells
I appreciate what you're getting at, but I think sarcasm is as likely to normalize tyranny as it is to route it out.
Better IMO: Degenerate sons of 20th century oligarchs are scrambling to ban VPNs and cryptocurrency because they've now finally got through their thick skulls what the internet truly is, and how it will inevitably bring about their empire of stupidity.
@solidsanek in my experience estate agents are almost universally incompetent so I wouldn't take it personally

Bingo, you read Taleb.
Robust thinking = Being right even when you're wrong.
Chopping the Gordian Knot of "what is true" by skipping to "what's the robust decision" is not actually straw-manning - but nobody likes seeing their complex reasoning chucked in the trash.
@solidsanek so you just have no idea?
@solidsanek is your name "fuck estate-agents"?
I've heard they don't like double-barrelled names
@solidsanek u russian?
@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen yeah missed that the arguments had forked
I think what cjd is saying is that the "standards of discourse" line will be weaponised by politicians with an agenda to control the flow of information
nonsucker/sucker debate beats truth/false debate once you're outside of the lab/notebook
@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen sure, but that doesn't make someone else having a different definition a strawman
@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen participation seems a reasonable word to use, unless you implicitly assume that it needs to pass a given standard before it counts
@wolf480pl @cjd @GluedToTheScreen and who determines the standards
@wolf480pl @dwaltiz and $X is probably more complex than minecraft spawn rates
