So what does this mean exactly? And how much money did you lose?

I'm more pissed at the writers because they had a perfect opportunity to puncture Captain America's moral superiority, but instead they chose to double down on it. Captain America can be a good guy, can have his heart in the right place, and he can still be wrong, which would have made for a more interesting film, and…

Yeah, sort of. They still freed everyone.

And then being rewarded for it because the writers have a hard on for his shield.

Yes, yes, Nazi punching. But the plot of Civil War is basically Captain America telling the UN to go fuck itself and everyone else eventually falling in line.

I tend to want a bit more structure than dailyvlogs have so it's not really my thing, but I watch a lot of YouTube and Twitch and I think it's pretty cool how much personality really matters for these things. Yes, there are a lot of really attractive people, but there are also some unattractive people that are…

This shouldn't be a surprise considering AlphaGo took Lee Sedol last year 4-1. Lee Sedol might not have been the number 1 player in the world at the time, but he is one of the best go players in the history of go. AlphaGo had overtaken people last year.

I've found that my interactions online have made me hate liberals more than I ever did in person, and I say this as a liberal. Online conservatives are insane illiterates that I can easily ignore because they can't string a sentence together. Online liberals have no concept of what an argument is or how to construct a…

If, as you say, the good subreddits are complicit in enabling the bad subreddits, and therefore they aren't good in the first place, how is that not categorizing all of the subreddits as bad? If that isn't what you meant, then your writing is unclear.

Let me quote you: "The existence of "good" places there does not negate the bad ones. I would say the good places are complicit in enabling the bad ones by using Reddit as a platform, so I would argue that therefore they aren't good in the first place."

If you're going to dissect my analogy do it well. Families can be created, hence the existence of something called marriage. Plenty of people have choice in what they form as their family. And while not everybody gets to leave a country, the existence of the United States is based on masses of people leaving their…

There is merit in providing a place for the free exchange of ideas, especially since hate speech can be subjective and defining exactly what is bad and should be censored can be problematic. And it's not about negating anything, it's about acknowledging the good and the bad. I just categorically do not agree that "one…

It's a private company with the goal of being as close to a public forum as possible. And they aren't explicitly providing resources and tools to "these people". They are providing those resources and tools to everyone, and like any tool it can be used for bad or good.

So you're not a fan of free speech? Got it.

Reddit's initial goal was to provide a platform for people to say what they wanted and let other people decide whether they thought what was stated was good or not. In the past few years they have been more active about getting rid of particularly bad subreddits, but they have described those actions as stopping…

That's like saying that because your town supplies electricity and water and internet to all of the people in your town, and some of those people are racist and sexist, that the electric, water, and cable companies are therefore racist, and so is your town. For that matter, you could go infinitely upward with this…

It depends on how you look at it. I have heard a compelling case that the Matrix trilogy is a long look at Gnostic Christianity. Each individual has the ability within them to reject the false for the real, they have knowledge of the Matrix being a false reality and no matter how detailed and how much it aligns with…

I like that a lot, but there is no fucking way George Lucas did that on purpose.

Totally agree. If anything, it has more in common with 20th century philosophers than freshman philosophy papers. Many 20th century philosophers, like Camus and Sartre, wrote a lot of their ideas in the form of fiction. And that fiction was argument by example, and not as in depth as their critical essays, but still…
