I really need the money, too. Maybe even more than you do. So, where does that leave us?
You're mistaken. I really want that money, certainly more than you. When can I expect you to open your heart and your wallet?
In fact, there wasn't a single argument in my post.
The fact that you have refused to stake out a position is not as exculpatory as you think it is.

It applies only to human affairs
Hardly. Evolutionary stable strategies (like mating strategies) are aptly modeled by game theory.
in which actors are predominately self-interested and operate from self-interest.
Not really. The selfish move in the prisoner's dilemma is to defect, yet the people studying games are not idiots and have noticed strategies that lead to cooperation and therefore greater payoffs.

The wording on that is kind of ambiguous. One could perfectly well read it as, “God brought about civilised man (through his control of natural processes) about 10,000 years ago when the first civilisations started appearing”
Not really. That would be option 1.

I'd be willing to cut Creamy some slack because he did link the post at the end, but the cope and seethe flameout makes me much less charitable.
Btw, has anyone heard the rumors that he is actually our very own TPO from the old country?

I'm on the third episode of The Pitt right now and it was pretty jarring when
It's also very black pilling about how many scarce ER resources are used up by drug users and the underclass, like the guy who had to be airlifted(!) to the hospital after a copper theft went wrong. I doubt that the showrunners intended this interpretation though.

It seems like there doesn't exist an organization that doesn't have a child sex abuse problem.
Sure there are. They're just the organizations that don't interact with children.

Thanks a lot, lots to digest here. I don't have a stropping setup at all, so I think that's a good place to start.

It has rules that will help you build a neoclassical house instead of a pastiche called McMansion, but that's the limits of its scope.
Hardly. The proportional system it describes stems from the classical system, but it talks about plenty of ways to alter the style of the house, from choice of materials to shapes and forms (or indeed absence) of decorative elements. To the extent that it describes the proportions of the classical system, it does this because western architecture is generally founded on those proportions far beyond mere neoclassicism.
What it lacks is exactly the architectural fundamentals that make good buildings in any style.
This is indeed outside the scope of the book. This is in the scope of an architectural degree program.
The book is not for experts or for those wishing to become experts, the book is for those wishing to avoid easily avoidable mistakes at the expense of not pushing the envelope.
Or in no specific style at all.
We can see the effects of building in no specific style at all throughout the country.

Get your house right, by Krier et al The book is still useful, it's just that it will help you build a house from the past, with no path towards the harmonious vernacular housing of the future.
The book is intended to convey the architectural fundamentals that make good buildings. If you follow the rules in the book, you'll end up with a perfectly nice looking house. The thing is - this is already better than most houses being built today. It's true that the rules in this book will not allow you to produce a masterpiece, but this is entirely missing the point. Most people do not have an architectural masterpiece in them, and are much better off painting by numbers if they want a reasonably nice looking house. The alternative for most people is not "the harmonious vernacular housing of the future", it's yet another fucking ranch house.

By the way, if you have an Asian store nearby, try the different tofu brands. Some are curdy and some are silky (independent of the "firmness" on the box) and some prefer the silky type.

Your build workflow should hopefully warn you when you are importing a dependency you did not manually approve of, but to do that it needs to keep track of those (hence the SBOM).
Any serious shop is already reviewing code changes, so the original bogus import should already be reviewed and I don't see this as additional protection. I guess it offers some protection if (as the other commenter suggested) packages with very few users are specially flagged during review. But merely flagging the addition of a new library is not useful, nobody is going to be chasing down new libraries in each code review to see if they are legit or not.
Moreover, it protects you from (some) mistakes made upstream. That lone overworked dev whose work on a library is pivotal to many other projects making a typo and importing a backdoored library is now going to be triggering alerts for downstream projects.
This is a good point, though it doesn't cover the novel library case. It relies on having a list of backdoored libraries to reference, but such libraries could simply be removed from the package manager altogether. Otherwise, I guarantee nobody is going to review the complete transitive dependency list for new slopsquatted libraries, ever.

How does SOBM prevent you from misspelling a dependency?

You're morally framing these things. Cooper, as far as I can tell, wants to factually frame them.
I'm not making a value judgement here. I'm looking at the positions that Cooper holds or considers reasonable to hold. Those positions include value judgements.
Jews influence a lot of the media
Jews influence the government
Let's not retreat to the motte here. The original phrasing was "run the media" and "ZOG".
From there you don't need to hate jews. I don't know what Cooper thinks beyond that, but I would just demand they don't act like they are above the common courtesy everyone else has to show eachother...
I don't see why not. You have a list of demands here, but what is really the meaning of it? If one really believes Jews run the media and control the government, can one be satisfied with just nudging their governance a little bit on the margins? Surely if one accepts this world view, the demands should be much greater, to take back control of the government and media and ensure that it can't happen again (despite it apparently happening in "nigh every western" country).
What emotion can a "host" feel for a ruling population but hate, unless those rulers have killed those neurons altogether?

Cooper has never said that the Holocaust was a good thing, or anything even close to that.
I included this in my comment in the hopes of heading off this exact misunderstanding.
I am not saying that he necessarily believes all the things in the first list, but he feels that they are at least understandable or positions that a reasonable person may hold.
And he never said that Hitler wasn’t that bad either.
Indeed, for that we'll need to wait for the forthcoming "Hitler was misunderstood" article.
It sounds like your knowledge of Cooper’s opinions comes entirely from Bluesky character assassination tweets.
You overestimate me. My knowledge of Cooper's opinions comes entirely from this thread and one or two other threads about him on this forum.

Cooper, in his own words, describes himself and his viewpoint similarly, though at greater length
How much of that is cognitive dissonance?
By "(un)stable equilibrium", what I meant is that if one, like Cooper seems to, admits that the following may be true, or at least are not obviously wrong:
- The Holocaust was a good thing
- Jews run the media (and this is bad)
- Jews run the government (and this is bad)
- Jews have split loyalties (and this is bad)
- Hitler was not that bad
Then I don't see how you can draw the line just there, and go no further to reach the obvious conclusion, which is:
- Jews are bad
- Jews are to be hated
And yet he seems to be in this position. I am not saying that he necessarily believes all the things in the first list, but he feels that they are at least understandable or positions that a reasonable person may hold. However, he feels that a reasonable person may not hold the positions that are a natural consequence of those opinions. This doesn't seem tenable to me.

To reply with a one sentence steelman of Cooper: 'Here are historical circumstance, here's why they came to be, here's the horrible outcome, here's what could have gone differently. By the way, don't hate people.'
It's a curious steelman that fully abstracts away all the details of the claims and the facts. Are we talking about the JQ or why a project went over budget?
I mean, I agree, it sure isn't a stable equilibrium for the church to sit idly by as heresy is spread. But I don't see why anyone should be concerned with the church.
And now I've fully lost sight of how this metaphor corresponds to reality at all.

The first two are the opinions of people that Cooper doesn't block. Since he is blocking views he finds unacceptable, he must find these acceptable, or at least, not beyond the pale.
The third seems to be Cooper's own view, unless his article on how Hitler was misunderstood turns out to be an article about how Hitler was even worse than people think.
I think this guy might be for real.
