and thus the central tennent

2020-03-30 17:56:59 UTC  

you claimed i used confirmation bias earlier and now i throw it back at you, are you not reading in

2020-03-30 17:58:43 UTC  

This is not the same thing at all. You said most of the people you speak to where politcally inclined in a certain way. I said that was likely confirmation bias.

That is very different that saying "Generally in nations there is a certain attitude and zeitgeist that exists"

Richard Dawkins talked about this when he was talking about his definition of memetics.

2020-03-30 17:59:34 UTC  

oh no i meant the term confirmation bias, i get the "everyone i know votes the same as me, how could we lose" part of what i said

2020-03-30 17:59:50 UTC  

i wasnt comapring the two i was just also accusing you of it

2020-03-30 18:00:03 UTC  

when you say people are programmed a certain way

2020-03-30 18:00:24 UTC  

and im not overall disagreeing with the idea of a general zeitgeist just that it universally applies

2020-03-30 18:00:51 UTC  

you can break the conditioning

2020-03-30 18:01:30 UTC  

Zeitgeist means generally

2020-03-30 18:01:39 UTC  

nit picky 😛

2020-03-30 18:01:48 UTC  

theres more than one

2020-03-30 18:02:21 UTC  

I am off. This dicussion has become ridiculous. I am going to try to deal with something more sane like the TypeScript compiler.

2020-03-30 18:02:35 UTC  

hah

2020-03-30 18:02:48 UTC  

i had fun

2020-03-30 18:53:36 UTC  

what, they didn't shoot him? what is this, a pussy state?

2020-03-30 18:55:54 UTC  

virgin state, lets people live; only fines them

2020-03-30 18:56:00 UTC  

chad state, kills dissenters

2020-03-30 19:12:52 UTC  

i thought a ride out to then go on a walk was fine

2020-03-30 19:13:16 UTC  

i think it depends on the constituency

2020-03-30 19:13:34 UTC  

here in the sw ive been told you can go to the beach as long as you walk

2020-03-30 19:18:39 UTC  

by a friend*

2020-03-30 19:20:39 UTC  

i went out for a ride today cos my car hadn't been used in over a week and the battery is fucked

2020-03-30 19:20:53 UTC  

but i wasn't retarded enough to use main roads, and didn't go that far

2020-03-30 19:22:13 UTC  

round here the checkpoints are mostly to stop people from the cities travelling down

2020-03-30 19:22:23 UTC  

Good. People from cities btfo

2020-03-30 19:23:08 UTC  

you can go for a drive

2020-03-30 19:23:13 UTC  

as it's social distancing

2020-03-30 19:23:26 UTC  

or isolating i should say

2020-03-30 19:23:42 UTC  

not according to some of the police

2020-03-30 19:26:21 UTC  

that's pretty dumb

2020-03-30 19:27:06 UTC  

the idea is that by letting them it encourages them and they'll start driving to beaches and parks and then be a risk

2020-03-30 19:27:08 UTC  

i think

2020-03-30 19:29:26 UTC  

yep

2020-03-30 19:29:54 UTC  

imagine you had to rule over a population, hopix, at least 50% of which were dumb as a box of fucken rocks and had absolutely no common sense at -all-

2020-03-30 19:30:16 UTC  

then you get broad, low-resolution, seemingly overbearing dictats and enforcement like this

2020-03-30 19:30:26 UTC  

i don't like it, but I can see why it's necessary

2020-03-30 19:30:51 UTC  

no common sense, or do they just choose to defy you

2020-03-30 19:31:15 UTC  

necessary is a perspective

2020-03-30 19:34:28 UTC  

yes
