@HopperMCS Excellent! Approved, please proceed! Once again Liberdon has spoken, and the world listens!

@HopperMCS I torrent all my music. On the other hand, I'm not a big fan of music, so to be honest, if I had no music at all, the radio would be more than enough for me, coupled with the occasional classical concert.

@freepatriot Oh, I thought it was moslem propaganda.

@toiletpaper Very interesting people! I tried to argue with one once, and his standard reply was a 12 hour youtube video. Since no one wanted to bother with watching 12 hours of gibberish, everyone gave up, since he would not summarize his position, but only refer to the 12 hour video. Very interesting technique for evading discussions. ;)

@toiletpaper This is the truth! I always try and watch myself, when I get that internal friction when someone is questioning something I say. That feeling signals that it is a belief that has "attached" itself to my core. If there is no friction when being questioned, the idea is loose and free enough, since it is not attached to my ego/core.

Another frustrating response is eternal doubt. I try to insist that eternal doubt of everything leads to solipsism and that it is a self refuting positio

@toiletpaper n since nothing can be argued out of it. Doesn't work. Then I try ti argue that since they are in fact arguing, they cannot seriously entertain the idea of solipsism and doubt, since if they did, what point would the be in arguing with a fictional/non-existent entity? Not, that doesn't work either.

Same thing goes with idealists who doubt the external world, yet, when challenged if they doubt gravity, they never dare to tests their non-belief in gravity. I argue that it means some

@toiletpaper thing that they do not dare to challenge gravity, but no. That argument seldom works either. ;)

@toiletpaper This is the truth! That is why I find the agnostic position in matters of spirituality the most beautiful one. You are (or try to be) open, but you are also honest enough to admit that there is no proof. Only individual experience.

I see the scientific method as kind of receding "fog of war" in computer games. Doubt would perhaps be what decides which direction of the map you are trying to explore at the moment.

@toiletpaper But some people crave answers, any answer, rather than no answer.

I find that a very fascinating human reflex. Why do we crave answers so much and so strongly, that even a wrong answer is preferable to no answer in many cases?

@toiletpaper @agaperealm Another tool I use is "effect". And with that I mean, can I affect "it" in any way, or can it affect me? If I cannot do anything about it, and if it cannot affect me in any meaningful way, I mostly ignore it unless I'm just curious and want to learn more.

@torparskytt That's horrible! I think the military had it right... tear them down, and rebuild them well! ;)

@torparskytt Oh yes! I'm especially curious about the daughter of an acquaintance from school. Her parents raised her with iphones and ipads from age 0.5. I wonder how that affects their daughter.

Another common thing is parents who let children play games on planes for _hours_ _without headphones_.

Sometimes I complain, and the parents get offended, and if it's a short flight, I might suffer in silence. I think to mix it up, I've asked the flight attendant to ask them to lower the volume

@kpeace @Infomaniacs @Alexmerced Nostr sounds as if it will shape up into a good alternative to mastodon! I seems as if it is just a year or two behind in terms of how mature it is.

@Infomaniacs @Alexmerced liberdon is perfectly fine, thank you.

@dcc @amerika

I'm waaaaay more aryan than you are! You should be silent and listen to your genetic betters!

@dcc @amerika

Shame on you for looking down on white history month.

You should be proud of what the white race has achieved!

@dcc @amerika

The viking sagas, and archeological remains.

@amerika

When is white history month? I'm already looking foward to it!

@amerika

This is the truth!

Here is one:

Who discovered america?

Leif Eriksson (c. 970s – c. 1018 to 1025), was a Norse explorer who is thought to have been the first European to set foot on continental America, approximately half a millennium before Christopher Columbus.

The market can also handle food regulations, because poisoning and cheating your customers is extremely bad business practice.

Over time, the market would produce better quality food, not worse, when the cheaters and poisoners would be found out and boycotted.
