"I remember the first time we met you, you told Lyra that if people think you’re trying to make gold out of lead, they think you’re wasting time and they don’t bother to find out what you’re really doing.”

Fair enough, if you use Apple, you’ve bought into capitalism; you can’t be saved.

Isn’t that how they did it in that stupid Apple TV ‘Foundation’ knockoff which was Foundation in nothing but name?

BTW the alt text is surrounded in [square brackets] and the link in (round brackets), not the other way around

So, to fix your link

When did I say that only certain types of people shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce?

I’m antinatalist, I don’t think anyone should be allowed to being life into the world, which is filled with so much suffering, without the consent of the child.

Regardless, I was just disputing the claim that intelligence is in no way a heritable trait.

People evolved from ape-like predecessors. Would you say the children of a predecessor and the children of a modern human are equally likely to be of a similar intelligence?

Don’t stop me now

That’s a motorbike, not a scooter.

This is a scooter

In programming, for sure. But that’s just the semantics of the language you’re using.

I love how the description is a full paragraph, and the prompt is just one line

Shapeshifting. It’s what I wanted anyway and I can always just be continuously toggling the length of my little toenail to be 1mm longer or shorter.

What do you use it for? Adblock? Use uBlock Origin

Video download? Use yt-dlp, or one of its many GUIs, such as Tubular (Linux) or Seal (Android)

That’s why you hide the item and get the person claiming it’s theirs to tell you a piece of identifying information about the item so they can prove it’s theirs.

A very thoughtful and considered response. I’d agree that if consent is not a factor, that, in all but some extreme cases (someone in a vegatitive state experiencing extreme suffering, for example), you should not kill someone without consent. I would disagree that only >18 year olds can give informed consent, it is an arbitrary age that is different in many countries and cultures. Perhaps an individual perspective rather than a flat cut off age would be more appropriate.

I apologise for implying that I was not aware disabled people were also killed by the Nazis, and well as Roma and Sinti, political dissidents, etc

I think we agree that assisted suicide should be able for the people who consent, it’s just a matter of the details of who exactly can consent.

Ah yes, ‘because the Nazis did it it’s bad’. You should explain why it’s had for its own sake. The Nazis had bad criteria, such as killing people for being ethnically Jewish or LGBT+, and didn’t factor consent of the person into it. But if the person consents to dying because they recognise their life is so bad, and it’s actually bad in an unfixable way, eg debilitated disability, what is morally wrong with that?

Also related, is there a non-onion domain system that isn’t controlled by the government and big corporations but that unlike the onion allows for short, memorable names rather than long strings of random characters?

Well, evidently.

Oh, no, the leopard ate your face.

Why are you using Google in the first place, if you don’t want things like this?

Yay, more invasion of privacy and censorship

That’s… not true

2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9

(2^2 +3^2) = 13
(2 + 3)^2 = 5^2 = 25
13 != 25
