so my mates TED talk is in there ?

last name?

Too bad so many of them rely on visuals.

yeah, still, 60mb of greppable data, certainly worth knowing about

Doesn't have TEDxToronto though. Can't find JBP.

Nor Sarkeesian's at TEDxWomen.

ye he's not there

neither is sarkeesian, you're right

Fuck, it's not even greppable, it's in markdown.

because of the unicode escapes you mean?

>And if it's someone else's problem,

yeah

> OK?"

What's `rg`?

ripgrep, like 4 times as fast as grep at the minimum

https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

it's the search engine visual studio uses when you find-in-files

Oh, I see, it has more limited regex, thus it's faster.

yeah, but I never use those advanced greps anyway

except in scripts, and then it's usually a library call and not a cli process fork of grep

https://github.com/sharkdp/fd is also excellent as a replacement `find`, 3x faster on average or so

Children of the Corn <:bleach:382980734035689473>

Imagine how many of Gen Z will be able to vote in 2020... 2 terms worth

2 scoops

Is there an actual starting year for Gen Z? I'm still not sure whether I'd be labeled that or a millenial

Some people claim 2001 some people claim 1995 and some people claim anyone who doesnt have memories of 9/11

There are some other claims but those are the main 3 from what I've seen

Memories of 9/11 makes the most sense though

Millennial ends around 1997

About what point in 97?

or just like sometimes said to be a year before, a year after, that sort of deal

I watched 9/11 live on the TV

I it was on the TV already cus of the first plane and then the second one hit

unedited BAM

and then everyone thought, this wasn't an accident

Same

feels like an eternity ago, though

911 was inside job

"jet fuel can't melt steel beams"

do you even know what they really mean by that?

there was alot of molten metal after those towers collapsed.

and it cant be jet fuel that melted it.

kek

you think the government could keep something like that secret?

its public info just go an look

when it has people who send sensitive emails from their laptops

and other ignorants running it

also building 7

keep on believin'

i mean most people dont even have looked what really happened. only what media told.

just google wtc7 and see your self

and the rest have looked at conspiracy nutjob sites, that either fail to understand basic science, or utterly misrepresent facts in order to goad on the gullible

so you havent even looked what they really say

Oh I have looked over a few, here and there, and it's all been unconvincing. I doubt anything you could present me with would change my mind, but I won't dismiss it without having seen it.

so whats your explanation to WTC7?

thermal expansion

+ progressive collapse

simple explanation, that the investigators also arrived at, afaik.

why shouldn't I believe this?

so that fire was pure coincidence that it happened same time as those airplanes hit towers. and it collapsed in few minutes after fire started.🤔

even tought any other steal structure building have never collapsed same way. or so fast.🤔

shekelstein

That's because they upped the building codes after that lmfao

yes, fire is pretty hot, it can make things expand fast

An plane exploding in tower is going to create a fire

heavy material falling down is pretty destructive, it can make things collapse pretty fast.

@Durtle02 no the WTC7

plane never hit that one

it being unprecedented does not make it impossible

[7:05 PM] Mal: you think the government could keep something like that secret?
i dont belive anything "its just concpiracy"

and most people dont even have looked in to it.🤔

I looked into it again just now, the investigation that was done makes sense

do you have a better explanation than "it was an inside job", because thermal expansion + progressive collapse is currently in the lead for my support by about a factor of a billion.

I'd like to hear your take on it

so you rather belive that it collapsed because fire that by coincidece happend same time as those planes hit towers 1 and 2. even tought building like that shouldnt even be possible to collapse because of fire.

and burining wasnt even hot, black smoke tells lack of oxygen.

"shouldn't even be possible" a study was done to show it was indeed possible

you're not scoring any points there, I'm afraid

the study proved it was possible to reach the required temperatures by fire from office debris

again, you're not winning any points here

science shows it's possible, I'll stick by the science

https://youtu.be/1l-8PFk8j5I?t=342
just watch your self

don't have the time for that I'm afraid, but I might watch it later

https://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/06-09-11/

I honestly think there was coverup with 9/11. There was a conspiracy.

But it was a terrorist attack

it's just the terrorist attack was done by the wrong kind of muslim (saudi arabia) and so the government conspired to hide that detail, blame someone else for it

but that does not explain WTC7

and also pentagon was never hit by plane.

what do you think happened with wtc7 then

there was loud explosions. and it came down like building destruction.

because if it's terrorist attack by the saudis, then it's easy enough to say they tried to cover up wtc7 and just hide it

also if you look more in to reasons there was shit ton of gold under WTC towers.

that some how disapeared🤔

okay, well if there was gold under it, then who did it?

I can safely say the government wouldn't do it for the gold because de jure they already own that gold

goverment=/=CIA

I never said they did

though by that, are you saying it was the CIA?

yep

How competent do you think the CIA is?

CIA is idependent body of goverment that dont ansver to congress or anyone else and with massive budget.

That's not competence

I mean like how smart do you think they are?

well they have resurces to plan what ever they want.

Do you think they'd be smart enough to?

Because I don't think they're competent enough to come up with that kind of plan.

If they can't even manage to stop individual terrorists, how would they manage to go undetected with the FBI, the government, various civillian groups, and independent investigators all looking into them?

If someone got a smoking gun pointing at the CIA on this, there wouldn't exist a publication in the world that wouldn't publish it.

But the CIA paid them off amirite?

so you think CIA dont have enought power?

I didn't say that, they'd have the power. It'd be within their ability.

But I think they're too stupid to manage it.

Like if you gave someone a tank but didn't tell them how to drive it.

how stupid you think people are🤔

welllllllllllll..

Most people, average intelligence.
The CIA is incompetent, and the FBI scrapes by now and then.

The NSA is just a fucking nightmare of morons.

Those entire organizations should be destroyed, everyone in them fired, and then rebuilt entirely anew.

They're failed the American people horribly and need to be started over from scratch.

well deep state (CIA) is running the goverment....

tbh the employees of the CIA, FBI, and NSA should all be tried for treason

even the janitors for not telling someone how fucking stupid what they're trying to do is and why it's not going to work

well you dont even know about projects when they are executed properly.

you only hear about completly failed missions.

And they're having failures too often.

Tbh, is quite easy to agree that the CIA is not working with the countrie's best interests in mind

We must secure the existence of our planet and a future for our environment.

http://quillette.com/2018/01/23/privilege-checking-privilege-checkers/

`Many will equate words with violence, claiming that harsh criticism and invective are akin to physical abuse. According to this view, violence may be inflicted upon a person merely by offending them. Anyone who claims to believe this, despite never having experienced actual fist-in-their-face, gun-at-their-back, war-in-their-streets physical violence, may need to check their privilege.`

`Anyone who has never had to undergo surgery without anaesthesia, has safely flown across the world to escape the cold of their local winter, and carries the luxuries of telecommunications in their pocket, but believes the scientific method to be the reprehensible instrument of a white male conspiracy keeping minorities in bondage and cleaving us from nature, should probably check their privilege.`

`If someone lives in a country graced by low levels of poverty, legitimate democratic elections, and a press that publicizes the plight of the governed, yet they wish to abolish markets and live in something more akin to a Communist state, they should check their privilege.`

etc

yeah low levels of poverty was graced upon us from above

`If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges.`

I wonder if someone has registered a kickstarter account in the name "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" or whatever and then funded that ks at the $10 level

hopefully

First, promote a mythical founding ideology. Next, use it to purge society of undesirables. Use the utmost brutality so as to thwart any resistance; maintain a ruthless intelligence network to induce the population to denounce itself.`

they go on to say `Everyone has a right to freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This is a qualified right however, which means that it can be restricted for certain purposes to the extent necessary in a democratic society. This means that free speech is not absolute.`

`Paradoxically, then, UBI seems to be a crisis demand, brandished in moments of social retreat and austerity. As politics moves to the right and social movements go on the defensive, UBI gains ground. The more social gains seem unreachable, the more UBI makes sense. It’s what botanists would call a “bioindicator”: it indexes neoliberalism’s progress. Support for basic incomes proliferates where neoliberal reforms have been the most devastating.`

I'm not sure this can be described as correct anywhere but the US

`Until we profoundly transform our economies, we can’t implement a measure that would cost more than 35 percent of GDP in economies where the state already spends around 50 percent of GDP. The power relations needed to establish this level of UBI would constitute an exit from capitalism, pure and simple, rendering depictions of UBI as a “means” of social transformation nonsense.`

long story about a tire, that I felt the need to link for some reason https://jalopnik.com/how-goodyear-hid-evidence-of-the-worst-tire-made-in-his-1822200424

I'll read that tomorrow :P

The only real point I have in regards to religion being so closely tied to the ideals of some of the conservative youtube commentators, is that secular, liberal ideals has lead to objetively better societies than those that have given too much influence to religious dogma, and these commentators have yet to present a worthwhile argument as to why I should think any different. That's why I don't usually watch conservative american youtubers.

Should other dogmatics, like those of the SJW's be allowed to take over the role that religion once held in society, then it will come with it's own slew of problems, as we've seen in some of the political movements in the US and Britain. The conservatives are a common enemy to SJW ideals, but the religious conservatives are not necessarily an ally to a liberal society.

So I'll simply not watch those youtubers a lot, because I don't find their arguments interesting, when they're the same ones that religious people have been repeating ad nauseam, and as stated earlier, I'd rather be entertained than annoyed when watching youtube "politics".

So because they're religious youtubers, they can't have good opinions?

How intellectual.

Don't think I said that

just don't care to watch their videos on a regular basis, if they keep bringing up their religious views as some kind of argument for why certain policies should be implemented

(I'm watching the SOTU, don't take it personal for ignoring you for a while.)

no worries, I will probably be going to bed soon

It's perfectly possible to have conservative opinions without appealing to religious arguments. In fact, if the opinion can't stand on secular arguments alone, it's probably a bad one. Just because there's *also* a religious moral that agree with it doesn't invalidate it. A lot of what ended up in religious texts and traditions is precisely things that were recognized to work across multiple generations since pre-historic times.

JBP's lectures on the Biblical Stories are incredibly insightful, specially if you're close-minded enough to think the Bible is a pile of rubbish.

He doesn't appeal to any theological argument, never assumes that God exists; only assumes that the characters in the stories, and the people who wrote the stories, legitimately believed in the **idea of God**. That's all you need, to make an honest evaluation of the text. There's where people like Hitchens or Dawkins show their intellectual deficiencies.

Then there's also the argument on whether Judaism and Christianity forged our moral values. The fact that other cultures just failed to develop similar values and remained uncivilized until modern times even, should be proof enough that our western values aren't as universal and self-evident as anti-theists like to claim.

Hitchens liked to talk about how people didn't need God to tell them killing was wrong, "everyone understands killing is wrong." Yet, Indians were burning widows until Britain enforced their filthy Christian traditions of "killing is a crime" to stop them. Natives across all of America were doing human sacrifices. Muslims are still happy to consider not all human life worth the same, with their religious text describing many situations where people should be killed.

Crowder's argument for pro-life stance boils down to: if we can't specify exactly when life starts (because "life" is an abstract concept), we can define boundaries. It can't be "life" if a cell only contains half of the chromosomes. So the earliest is at the time of full DNA mixing. At some point, from that moment to the moment of birth, the baby is alive. Until we can come up with a better definition of what deserves to be considered alive, conception is the earliest, safest point to start defending what could be "life".

Perfectly secular, and I think entirely reasonable. Unless of course you think no life deserves to be preserved. Or that only life that can fight back deserves to be preserved.

👌🏿 some pretty solid stuff

Oh, and regarding that "if you believed Jesus is the way to save one's immortal soul, why wouldn't you insist on converting people" comment. First, insisting isn't exactly the most effective way. It's definitely an effective way to turn people away. And also, it's funny, because many of the apostles died doing exactly that.
* Peter got crucified upside down for not rejecting Christ.
* Andrew got threatened with torture and execution unless he rejected Christ. He didn't, got whipped and tied to a cross. He kept preaching, for two days, until he died.
* James got persecuted and executed by Herod; he managed to convert his unnamed accuser, which asked to be executed together with James.
* Philip converted the wife of the proconsul of Hierapolis, got crucified upside down with his brother, and continued preaching; he convinced the crowd to save his brother, but asked to not be saved himself.
* Bartholomew managed to convert the king of Armenia, so the king's brother ordered his execution. We don't know if he was crucified or skinned alive then beheaded.
* Thomas got speared for angering local authorities in India.
* Matthew got backstabbed in Ethiopia for criticizing the King's morals.
It's important to point out, they died in various places of the world, very publicly. The conspiracy theory that none of them existed has to account for the Catholic Church being able to fabricate traditions, from England to India, and somehow found numerous non-catholic churches that were erected on their preaching paths.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxCsnykY_PM

@DanielKO didn't read until just now, but you're spot on
I agree with Crowder and his stance on many things, but I'm not a conservative, nor a christian
same with Peterson
the idea that if you hold similar beliefs to someone therefore you are in the same group as someone is absurd

of course, nobody could explain that to @✿ Mittens ✿ because the retard calls anyone left of mao a conservative

meanwhile

I've found the best comic about migrant crisis and I'm not even sure it's what the author intended

https://i.imgur.com/KmuVbDc.png

Yes, it's possible to be conservative and hold religious opinions. I am not trying to conflate conservativism and religiosity, but have found that the two are often connected in the youtube commentators I have personally bumped into - which is why I don't watch them, and I believe that's really what started this whole "argument", my youtube preferences, lol.

A lot of what ended up in religious texts was also complete and utter hogwash, yet some people claim all of it is divine truth and should be followed to the letter. I don't personally need some ancient text to tell me it's bad to kill people, but that it's also bad to eat lobsters, because GAWHD.
That there are grains of truth in the bible, does litte to allieviate the fact that its vagueness, and influence can be used to justify atrocities, and the awful behaviours of people like the jehova's witnesses (refusing blood transfusion, exclusion and disowning family), or similar christian movements.

It feels just slightly arrogant to call both Dawkins and Hitchens "intellectually deficient", just because you disagree with them. That reminds me, I'd like to hear Jordan Peterson or even Crowder's attempt to answer that challenge Hitch made once. Could be interesting to hear, I guess.
Christians had their fair share of murderous behavior, so it doesn't seem like their belief in god was what stopped them from killing people. Taking matters into their own hands and deciding who deserves to live or die, based on their intrepretations of their own delusional beliefs, yeah, not related to religion at all I'm sure. Witch hunts were a thing last I checked, and not just in catholicism, it was big in lutheranism too.

As to Crowder's view on abortion, he's free to hold whatever view he wishes. That being said, I'm sure it has nothing to do with him believing in a soul, and it magically appearing at conception, like the catholic church ammended its view on ensoulment to fit with accepted scientific knowledge.

My point about proselytizing, was that I consider inaction to be somewhat questionable, and borderline immoral, if you believed that everyone who does not believe in whatever it is you believe, will suffer an eternity of torment if they do not convert. It was a bit of a taunt, on my part, and I'm sure that if you just consign yourself to it being god's infallible plan that billions of people are destined to burn in hell, it's probably easier to sleep at night for the people who aren't actively trying to convert

I don't think I'll be watching more conservative or christian youtubers just yet, though. <:ResidentSleeper:353173793830731786>
