Or just abstain from groups, but that comes with its own costs

Yeah, living having to fight your intuition for every scrap of ground RE: others is a wonderful experience.

Yeah call my a cynic, but if a 17 year old capable of this actually got caught, It doesn’t seem that hard to do in the first place.

I wonder if someone gave them the exploit

Lol are you me? Down to the IPhone SE and reading/doing things on my laptop. Scary stuff

Christ the brown noise really hits home. Coffee and studying at night seems the only way I can do it to be honest.

The withdrawals are unpleasant but certainly manageable. A good week and you're effectively detoxxed, two and your brain is reset. Moreover, as long as you refrain from adding sugar/sweetener to your coffee it's closer to a benign habit than an addiction, as black coffee has little to no downsides if your heart is ok.

This is coming from a pot/day drinker who's 'quit' multiple times. In the end it's not worth it, because coffee also comes with the pleasant social contract with other coffee drinkers as well as a appetite suppressing effect.

Yeah I wanna know what kind of coffee this dude is drinking. Even at the most expensive places US side it's <3.50. I know this is semantics, but that's super deceptive. The only thing of value to me from Spotify is their quantification of my musical tastes.

That said, full disclosure I'm a notorious pirate on the dread sea qbittorrent with little qualms about denying others profit; so take anything with a massive grain of salt.

Dwarf Fortress is a helluva thing, good reference. I'd argue that's just as demanding as any IRL project and it requires planning, forethought, and myriad other detail and macro oriented skills.

>Here’s something that’ll bake your noodle: what if you’re not as clever as you think you are, and due to the DunkinDonuts-Keurig effect, you don’t know you’re one of the stupid ones?

This is actually something I'm constantly preoccupied with. I've assumed the "Assume you're one of the stupid ones until proven otherwise" position.

That said, if I had some objective statement that I was somehow below average that would largely suck.

I mean you could make the legitimate argument that Atheism is a religion in itself. That said, your example is lacking and ill-defined in legalese.

Arguing in bad faith, and exploiting logical technicalities exist, and are widely used to sway the opinion of the masses. this is something any rational society needs to take into account in my opinion.

Good lord the hyperbole. This isn't the government doing this, and stop trying to construe it as some great 'issue of our time'.

I'd argue this is the natural selection of ideas at work. If you don't like it, raise hell, and gather enough people to make a difference, that's what everyone's done since it became an option to do so.

If you can't harness the momentum perhaps it means that your idea just isn't cut out for life on the grand stage of society. Life after all, is not fair.

of course you should be able to discuss it, just in the correct medium for it. If Patreon doesn't want you, bypass it and create your own, or donate directly to the individual. However, with how much dishonest argumentation and outright lying that has been going on in recent years, being forced to accept everyone's speech, equally is farcical at best!

And that should be the end of it. This whole debate is a nonissue if there exists an open market. If the ideas are big enough that discriminating against them disenfranchises a fair number of people, these people should have no trouble setting up an alternative that caters to their select 'views'.
