and your contest example only helps my point

2018-10-19 19:00:16 UTC  

Ergo now that Trump has won, you should have already accepted it

2018-10-19 19:00:24 UTC  

What, that you're a sore loser?

2018-10-19 19:01:14 UTC  

im done you cant see it im dopne explaining it you dont want to se it fine but i tried

2018-10-19 19:02:06 UTC  

No, you've made a series of circular statements and then get mad when I use different examples to explain flaws with that reasoning beyond it simply being circular

2018-10-19 19:03:56 UTC  

no im getting frustrated becuase you are turning this into symantic debate and a circular debate and use some of the wtf examples ive ever seen but its fine agree to disagree

2018-10-19 19:12:30 UTC  

I havent turned this into a semantic debate in the slightest, and I'd love if you could point to where I used a circular argument

2018-10-19 20:44:35 UTC  

Voting for a third party can also be useful in the long run. Winning just 5% of the electorate secures public funding for the next election.

Crypto racist has a nice ring to it.

2018-10-20 04:27:21 UTC  

They're not really crypto-, though.

2018-10-20 04:42:09 UTC  

But it sounds cool

2018-10-20 12:57:27 UTC  

hey guys you know the 4 square political test?

2018-10-20 12:57:41 UTC  

does anybody else feel like it should be working on atleast 3-4 dimensions

2018-10-20 12:58:51 UTC  

sorta asking after discussion with right wing friend who in a geo-political aspect ends up being put as authoritarian typically, but on a personal level is very libertarian

2018-10-20 12:59:40 UTC  

over-complicating needlessly isn't worth a damn, but all the same the test(s) itself misses finer points of ones viewpoints

2018-10-20 13:00:59 UTC  

Might be a matter of changing the questions rather than the layout.

2018-10-20 13:24:55 UTC  

there's sapply for 3 dimensions

2018-10-20 13:25:03 UTC  

and 8values is 4 dimensions

2018-10-20 13:41:15 UTC  

8 values doesnt illustrate my political leaning via hypercubes tho

2018-10-20 13:46:31 UTC  

well... yeah, we can't perceive hypercubes

2018-10-20 13:52:44 UTC  

Maybe you can't

2018-10-20 13:54:42 UTC  

D:

2018-10-20 14:31:16 UTC  

):

2018-10-20 16:36:08 UTC  

Yeah, these tests aren't really that good. I think the majority are actually made to be push-polls. Furthermore it's really not obvious that political orientation should exist on any reasonable dimensional space.

2018-10-20 17:20:26 UTC  

Seems to me that you can directly measure the dimensionality of a political test by measuring the independence/orthogonality/correlation between questions.

2018-10-20 18:21:53 UTC  

OK. How do you define orthogonality?

2018-10-20 18:32:46 UTC  

Perpendicular

2018-10-20 18:42:32 UTC  

It's just the collinearity between responses to the test questions.

2018-10-20 20:40:40 UTC  

politiscales is my fave tho

2018-10-20 20:40:57 UTC  

would be cool if we had a channel to post test results, for easy comparison

2018-10-20 22:02:38 UTC  

Is it possible to opt out of discord policy change in regards to class action law suit?

if you are in EU area you dont need to do anything.

2018-10-20 22:04:28 UTC  

Gotcha

2018-10-20 22:05:02 UTC  

While I believe that the EU has such measures tied into GDPR (Article 77) to prevent this sort of change in a terms of service, simply overriding the companies choice. The US and some other countries do not have such a law. See https://xq.ms/4dI4k

Fallout 76 looks bad

2018-10-21 04:35:55 UTC  

looks like a waste of money

2018-10-21 07:20:26 UTC  

I think America is too lazy to have a civil war.

2018-10-21 07:22:29 UTC  

Or is it that there is not a greater humanitarian crisis that makes sense to do so.

2018-10-21 09:39:40 UTC  

We're not going to have a civil war nor should we. The only one we had was due to deep seeded, long standing issues from at least the founding of the nation. Only approximately 90 years later at great fear of one side winning out permanently did any such thing happen. Presently we have a much more stable form of government with disagreement on what's more along the lines of details than the big picture.

2018-10-21 10:36:05 UTC  

Well, most people yes, there is however a small revolutionary bunch that permanently causes trouble.

2018-10-21 10:36:22 UTC  

that bunch needs to be "purged" (=removed from position of power/influence).
