I’d take a term of Mitt Romney over Trump. At least he

  • had respect for the office
  • could articulate sentences in a clear manor
  • had a plan, and could explain it
  • wasn’t a convicted felon/rapist
  • had decorum in discourse/debates

News story #3 is actually kind of crazy to me. The only possible explanation for someone filling that lawsuit is if they don’t believe in their own tenets. The suit has no grounds and is meant to suppress criticism.

It pretty clearly is a direct contradiction with tenet 4 (respecting freedoms of others, especially the freedom to offend) I might expect hypocrisy like this from other religious groups, but for TST, the tenets are a fundamental part of their movement.

Can confirm. I only had a bit of trouble with the last frame but was able to translate perfectly from context.

When I consider if the sentence is true, it claims to be false which is exclusive with truth, therefore the sentence is not true.

When I consider if the sentence is false, the claim is inverted, so the sentence has to be not false.

I arrived at a conclusion that is the opposite of Dialetheism, with the sentence being neither true nor false.

That doesn’t really make sense if you think about it though. You are making the scam less profitable to run. Even if the scammers work overtime to make up for wasted time, at the end of the day someone is paying them to be on the phone.

Do the scammers really decide to work more hours to make up for people wasting their time?

X is privately owned. Like all social media companies, it has no obligation to be a microphone for anyone.

Think of it like a 0-indexed array: [a, b, c, d]

a is at position 0, b is at position 1…

This array has 4 elements despite the last element only being at index position 3.

A ‘2-story’ home would be a house with 2 different elevations:

[elevation a, elevation b]

If you want to refer to a specific floor, you need to use the index, which is 0/ground for elevation a, and 1/first floor for elevation b.

I’m sure it’s going to be “we got isekai’d into a Minecraft world and now we need to defeat [antagonist] before they ruin everything!”

It’s such a shame because I feel like theres a lot of potential. There are so many faces of Minecraft and ways to play the game (even within the relatively narrow area of vanilla survival multiplayer). Perhaps a better plot would revolve around the friction between these different playstyles.

Theoretically the electorals could go blue without winning any districts. It would require a third party to win at least one district though.
