Same shit to me

2018-10-09 00:33:43 UTC  

just give me Captain Fareeya and I am good.

2018-10-09 00:34:05 UTC  

a lady friend who can drop kick demons and is hawt? I can live with that as an illusionary waifu

@xorgy the thing about agency is it presumes we understand consciousness and organic thought, and we don't, and we throw our (mis)understand of other people, people of malice, onto AI as if computers will or could become Hitler basically. In regards to Nano-bots its different, as they would be simple physical devices that could glitch out and consume incorrectly, but thats a totally separate theoretical issue

2018-10-09 00:34:35 UTC  

is that map accurate? did pasteurization fuck it up?

2018-10-09 00:35:32 UTC  

understand that there is infinite balance... everything has a purpose, epigenetics happen, but for every reaction there is an opposite. nihilism isn't wrong, but who waits around for nothing?

Thank you explaining why Antifa makes me afraid and urks me... they are Authoritarians, they oppress everyone around them. I had a hard time pinpointing why I do not like them. Not only they do violence and destruction to the communities they invade, they threaten people. The after effect is something I didn't think about also... @Timcast

The last release of antix (Linux distro) was called "heather heyer"
Another dev team fucked the CoC of social justice.

@Ottobon I mean, agency and consciousness are not necessarily a package deal.

2018-10-09 00:53:22 UTC  

Nor does it necessarily take _an understanding of consciousness_ to produce something conscious.

2018-10-09 00:55:52 UTC  

@halfthink Well, what did you expect? systemd haters are prone to dogmatic thinking.

2018-10-09 00:56:19 UTC  

@halfthink antiX, apparently, exists mainly to be systemd-free.

2018-10-09 00:56:47 UTC  

One of these days, @agingoldboomer is going to finish typing.

2018-10-09 00:56:57 UTC  

Give me time

2018-10-09 00:57:10 UTC  

It's pretty long, yet off topic to this convo

2018-10-09 00:57:10 UTC  

I was just browsing for a new distro, and lol'd at it, I don't know anything about the distro.

2018-10-09 00:57:21 UTC  

When will it come to a point where we just at mass and all across the country just beat the hell out of each and just get it out of our system

2018-10-09 00:57:51 UTC  

I don't need it out of my system.

2018-10-09 00:58:05 UTC  

I have never wanted to beat anyone up, ever.

2018-10-09 00:58:09 UTC  

Not yet

2018-10-09 00:58:16 UTC  

bs

2018-10-09 00:58:23 UTC  

everyone gets the urge

2018-10-09 00:58:28 UTC  

The thought has never crossed my mind.

2018-10-09 00:58:38 UTC  

I'm serious.

2018-10-09 00:58:47 UTC  

how much soy do you consume?

2018-10-09 00:58:51 UTC  

about zero

2018-10-09 00:59:00 UTC  

Whatever traces are in our wheat.

2018-10-09 00:59:01 UTC  

i'm not buyin it

2018-10-09 00:59:22 UTC  

I mean, I think about using violence defensively.

2018-10-09 00:59:41 UTC  

Let me rephrase: I have never wanted to beat somebody up for something other than physical provocation.

2018-10-09 01:00:09 UTC  

well, that's way different

2018-10-09 01:00:12 UTC  

I want to beat people up all the time.

2018-10-09 01:00:20 UTC  

I just never act on those impulses.

2018-10-09 01:00:39 UTC  

I mean, sometimes I feel like shaking people out of things.

2018-10-09 01:00:44 UTC  

I don't want to punch babies, I just *act* as if I do.

2018-10-09 01:01:16 UTC  

Anyhow, it is not really in me to want to _start_ a violent confrontation.

2018-10-09 01:01:34 UTC  

so are you an ancap then?

2018-10-09 01:01:37 UTC  

I have _absolutely zero_ sympathy for these street thugs.

2018-10-09 01:02:24 UTC  

And yes, if they ever moved against me I would maximize the number of them who regretted doing so.

2018-10-09 01:02:28 UTC  

If they are peacefully protesting I don't care about them, but if you start swinging bike locks around you deserve any beatings you get.

2018-10-09 01:02:51 UTC  

Optimize for a 1:1 regret ratio.
