I have no idea what you're talking about and a quick googling only tells me something about a hacked cryptocurrency platform. What does that have to do with rationalism or EA and why should anyone care?

Was this actually weakmanning? It seemed flippant, but accurate. And that's with me being very on the supposedly weakmanned side here.

I had a phase like that.

Yemen/Red Sea war we're now fighting? Iran and the US are fighting a proxy war in Iraq

War? I guess there aren't exactly any fixed and universal criteria to consult, but is it really a war, outright? That seems to me to imply higher stakes. I'm not saying you're wrong, mind you, but I'd expect to have heard more about it if it were more than some foreign-shores-coast-guarding with occasional naval gunfire exercises. In other words: Please inform me.

Do you believe that every human, no matter how unviable, has to be kept alive at any cost?

If you are gay, then I'm fairly certain your experiences are not very relevant when discussing the modal man's gender relations. No offense intended, but obviously you are wired differently and thus not a suitable example to study.

I'll echo your reasoning.

Neutral question: Has it occurred to you that, with the sides changed, you are still overreacting now as you were back then?

Right on the is, but I'd disagree on the ought. This discrepancy shows that other countries tax too heavily, and offer too little in exchange. Ireland is making a better offer. This seems to me to be a free-ish market working as intended.

Oh, pedantry! Income is monthly, grocery shopping is weekly.

Nice.

Some of them, sure. But we'd still be dissolute, atomized materialists with no ability to generate culture, and ideologically captured and committed to the most outrageous Wolkenschlösser*1 and we'd still be wallowing in self-hate over muh nazis. Foreigners cause many problems and prevent many solutions for other problems, but blaming it all on them is facile and off the mark.

*1 Cloud-castles, i.e., ideas with no chance of being implemented.

They absolutely will. Maybe not if you ban sugar entirely.

What did you perceive as dark or pessimistic about it? Sincere question.

Thanks, that will come in handy when I decide to complicate matters.

I'm trying to calculate the strength of solar radiation for a given latitude as a simple factor from 1 (equatorial) to 0 (polar), assuming no axial tilt or any other complications. My trigonometry is weak. How do I do this?

Arccos curve looks good. Is it arccos? Arccos(latitude / 90) * (2 / pi) looks pretty decent.

Rimworld has always taken my personal crown for "most mods applied". Think I had almost 150 in one playthrough.

Same here. It's what saves me from ever wanting to play it again - too much hassle!

  1. Rightful German Clay, had to protect the German minorities.
  2. They attacked us first! Remember the radio station!
  3. Had to be done to push the starting positions of the inevitable anti-bolshevik war further East.
  4. Lebensraum. We needed space to live.
  5. It was just an anglo puppet and we had to call them on their bluff.

Alright, alright, I'm just fooling around here.

Anyone incapable of understanding 'this post'....

Please, do finish that sentence.

Arguments? Spew your disgust at him. Chances are that'll have more weight than any attempt to reason him out of something he didn't reason himself into.

Was it worth it to password protect that archive in the first place?

Eh, not necessarily. I mean, I'm no lawyer or political expert - I don't actually know how it works in the nitty-gritty. What I look at is just how media and people around me act. And Wagenknecht doesn't really play any noticeable role in their fear of the AfD. But sure, when it actually comes to elections, she may have an effect.

Go start a thread? "Sweet Nothings Saturday"?

No idea, I've never been over the pond.
