And now to wait for Russia to do the same since the gentlemans agreement not to weaponize space is officially gone. Rather than unofficially never adhered to.

2018-06-18 18:17:34 UTC  

Wasn’t it just that you can’t have nukes in space?

2018-06-18 18:30:40 UTC  

Nuclear weapons and other WMD cannot be placed into orbit, and celestial bodies cannot be used as testing grounds, military bases, and cannot have weapons of any kind. Conventional weapons in orbit are A-OK.

2018-06-18 18:31:42 UTC  

So ABM interceptor missiles & lasers wouldn't violate the treaty, and rods-from-god would probably also be OK presuming they are built with yields in line with conventional munitions.

2018-06-18 19:38:19 UTC  

pretty sure missiles wouldn't work nearly as well in space for intercepting anything.

2018-06-18 19:38:30 UTC  

outside of stuff already in a known orbit

I made this a WHILE ago.

2018-06-18 23:30:24 UTC  

BTW I'm True Neutral.

2018-06-18 23:32:42 UTC  

I guess Hitler was lawful good

2018-06-18 23:37:39 UTC  

Actually, Hitler would've been Lawful Neutral, I'm ashamed to say.

2018-06-18 23:39:20 UTC  

The person I most associate with "lawful neutral" is Sessions. I've never seen someone so literally try to obey the letter of the law.

2018-06-18 23:40:14 UTC  

Well, I mean

2018-06-18 23:40:32 UTC  

That chart is meant entirely as a joke, anyway.

2018-06-18 23:40:58 UTC  

true, just a statement I wanted to say that no one would actually listen to

2018-06-18 23:41:00 UTC  

but the actual political compass test does NOT actually measure policy

2018-06-18 23:41:02 UTC  

only inclination

2018-06-18 23:41:13 UTC  

in much the same way that how much you bench press does not measure how well you'll do in a fight.

2018-06-18 23:41:20 UTC  

There are other factors

2018-06-18 23:43:38 UTC  

and part of the point of horseshoe theory is really that authoritarians who don't share the same political outlook hate each other, and people who are on the libertarian (chaotic) side of things are far more likely to be able to coexist in peace, at the very least.

So, in dealing with people online, I think I'm going to start reposting people's arguments with appeals to emotion removed before I continue to dismantle their argument. I just had one particular argument (where I didn't think to do this first). Anyone care to judge? I'm trying to leave in things that are relevant to the conversation, anything you'd remove or add, I'm fine tuning here.

2018-06-19 01:32:57 UTC  

Really, I feel like I could remove a bit more, but I want to have something to argue against in this. -_-

2018-06-19 01:33:38 UTC  

You can re-insert "Why not keep families together as they await trial?"

2018-06-19 01:33:42 UTC  

I want to start illustrating to people that most of their arguments are based in emotional appeal as opposed to actual reasoning.

2018-06-19 01:33:46 UTC  

Did I drop that? shit.

2018-06-19 01:34:36 UTC  

I'm going to give this a full second pass

2018-06-19 01:36:16 UTC  

Actually, I did leave the heart of that in as the first line

2018-06-19 01:36:25 UTC  

I just didn't have it repeat.

2018-06-19 01:36:54 UTC  

It's the same line, just in a different spot

2018-06-19 01:37:00 UTC  

my bad
