Direct realist, individualist, libertarian, dove. Trying to overcome my biases.

Brainstorming is offering up an idea and listening to the ideas of others. It’s not, “I’m going to annoy you until you implement my idea.”

And his idea is a bad one, in my opinion. I guess he agrees, since he’s coercing instead of trying to persuade.

Why do people spend money and time on dogs, if they receive zero benefit?

What’s “avi?” Are you talking about the video format?

“Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience, then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.”

Consult nearly any early episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It will tell you the Internet is to be feared. TV, not so much.

Nothing that dramatic. At 350 mcg of LSD, with my eyes half closed, it seemed like my hand was semi transparent and there was a flowing pattern of shapes around it. Maybe I just need to take more, but the body load of that dose was difficult.

I don’t think they’re suddenly upset about the free content and labor; rather they’re upset that their preferred tools for providing those things are being shut down.

Here’s RFK advocating for jailing people who disagree with him about climate change:

And here he is walking that back, but asserting that corporations and think tanks that disagree with him should be shut down. He provides a list.

One complication: Many Redditors prefer third-party apps, and they’re providing free content and moderation labor to Reddit. I don’t think that’s a reason to freak out, though. Users should just reevaluate their relationships with Reddit and either stay or leave.
