if they would stop calling it vandalism, it would take away all the fun

bort,

idk, maybe like a server for “-key”-derivates with a community for each individual derivate?

Some of these derivates will be hugh, but reddit-like sites can already deal with communities of vastly different sizes, so whatever i guess.

If you can’t afford to tip after getting a new car, you should probably get an older car.

fun fact: most people DO tip for new cars. Only the tip is factored in into the initial price, which already includes 50-100% markup, which gives the dealer room to abate.

Anyway, well worth reading his complete works. Good shit. Grab a copy off me.

There is a torrent for the audiobooks, narrated by Wayne June (the narrator from Darkest Dungeon).

Wayne Junes reading Lovecraft is a match made in heaven. I strongly recommend giving it a try

I think many of them simply got converted to sub ways and such.

are you sure you don’t want to share an indirect kiss with all her past tinder dates?

tiny bit of a germaphobe

iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp

bort,

not watching this one, because I can’t relate to the cuteness or gayness

does not compute.

Is that one of these sentences, that are grammatically correct, but semantically nonsense? like en.wikipedia.org/…/Colorless_green_ideas_sleep_fu…

which one?

bort,

guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes

I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.

bort,

It is blatant plagiarism

yes, and a solution could have been to cite sources.

This was no innocent mistake of forgetting to list a source

I don’t think, that not-citing-sources is an innocent mistake.

Watch the hbomberguy video segment about it, it paints a very clear picture

I did. I does paint a very colorful picture. Full of opinion and sarcasm and rhethoric.

Here is a rule-of-thumb to decide if an argument was convincing because it had good content, or because it was well written: If the content was good, it will be easy for you explain to a 3rd party. If only the presentation was good, then you will have a hard time convincing others.

bort,

what’s with the square at the end? isn’t that usually for proofs?

bort,

fun fact: this is called “Reductio ad absurdum” and it’s a valid strategy in debate/rethoric.

It works great when countering stupid shit that sounds logical but really isn’t.

bort,

Classical philosophy used it often,

The earlier dialogues of Plato (424–348 BCE), relating the discourses of Socrates, raised the use of reductio arguments to a formal dialectical method (elenchus), also called the Socratic method.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

If you want a more modern source, here is a lecture on the topic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iepg5Q4rBAQ&list=PLPnZfvK…

I can recommend the entire lecture. It’s both entertaining and valuable.

bort,

Does anyone know what this is?
