@jeffowski edit: no let me rephrase: this shallow assumption is incorrect. People keep pushing for a narrative that is wrong.

@BeAware @verge there is speculation that Valve fears the number '3'

@freemo you have a nice neutral way of expressing. This topic can be made "colorful" in so many ways.

@freemo I love the way you illustrate it as an amazing experience. I think the "pooping" as you know it evolved very gradually. IIRC, even single cells eject material, so there's a long path from there.

@jwildeboer as European citizen, I have different concerns with what's going on in USA. But I find it worrying how single-sidedly Trump has been attacked, and how blinded people have been concerning Biden.
Time and time again I see bad news and quickly after it gets contradicted. Recent example: https://x.com/1Nicdar/status/1811485828658430080

I am trying to form a neutral opinion, even try to dislike Trump, but it's hard not to side with Trump (assuming binary choice situation) given constant display/abuse of power.

@BeAware @HarbingerOfSalem okay, so at least it's not a silent action like shadowbans.

@BeAware @HarbingerOfSalem is it undetectable, or an obvious block or smth?

@killyourfm I totally feel the same way. Just you talking about it makes me want to play it again.

@thomasfuchs do you mean like the constant yapping and sad face if you're eating anything, however small? 😋

Hey #linux if I want to process a whole file then follow along with incoming data, is there something better than `tail -f -n +1 filename`?

@freemo hmmm.. I get what/why you're countering, but I'm not sure if we agree on what I'm asking.
Religion should serve as a guiding factor (at the least) right? But if everyone takes away something different, i.e. there is no commonly acknowledged/supported wisdom, then it's even weaker than a ("V-for-Vendetta"-esque) idea. For example, the idea of "the 99% vs the 1%" performs better at this point.

@freemo this might actually work 😂

@freemo what action is that?

@freemo It's the first episode with the Tolans. They were rescued from a dying planet. With Narim and the pet cat Schrödinger.

@freemo Stargate SG-1, I'm curious if you know this one's storyline by title alone: "Enigma".

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven it was a short video. I can't find it anymore. He wasn't as careful in choosing words, because it was meant as a general message. You're certainly close, and certainly more accurate.
Thanks for clarifying. 😄

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven hmm .. yeah that could be. Those -isms are less well-known to me. I'll lean on your knowledge there.
About socialism and communism: I get the distinction you're making, but I think the idea of that guy, centered around taking away capitalism as counteracting force, then at socialism your next logical/natural step would take you on the road to communism. I can see that happen. But, sure, socialism and communism themselves are distinct.

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven it is what I meant indeed.

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven hmmm.. might be, but I recall it from a video. You might have said but I don't recall.
I think he said: run-away socialism => communism, run-away capitalism => ... I forgot ... Tyranny?
I think I'm wrong on the last part.

@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven i heard one dude say that capitalism, just like socialism, if left alone becomes a runaway process that ends up in a bad extreme. He claimed both should balance each other out. 🤓
