His comment may be as moronic as your childish lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you but, as far as I’ve seen, that’s par for your course.

I neither said, nor implied that. I gave someone a backhanded compliment about their implication of that being an illumination of hypocrisy, but that’s all.

I didn’t say anything about learning from Nazis. Just learning something from people you debate with. I don’t think I’ve ever learned anything from a Nazi that wasn’t “how to make better arguments against Nazis”.

Not that I’m aware of. I even have my own, completely different Twitter account. But, it IS always a trope of MPD (in Hollywood) patients not realizing they’re afflicted, so I won’t rule anything out.

I hope Disney pulls this dumb fuck’s videos.

Maybe it’s because you try to engage in rigorous intellectual debate, instead of asking questions, listening, trying to see things from their perspective, and then non-threateningly applying agreed-upon logical structures to their perspective which expose that perspective’s flaws.

The point of rationality is not to acquiesce to extremists. It’s to understand that you can’t change an extremist’s ideas without first understanding, in agonizing accuracy, those ideas.

It was mainly a goof. I really was surprised to not see Joe_Limon at the top (controversial comments are usually buffered by the commentariat), and I really did want to hear nir take on it, but the beseeching exclamation and follow up were done tongue firmly in cheek. A little levity around an earnest interest.

Well, in my first comment, I claimed that Joe_Limon’s comment highlighted hypocrisy. I didn’t claim that it was meaningful or absolve it of whataboutism, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey here. I don’t disagree that it is whataboutism, and I don’t disagree that it wasn’t a meaningful comment. But I…

I’m not on anyone’s side. I’m on the side of reason and rationality. Nuance and thoughtfulness. I’m against the side of polarization for its own sake. I’m against the idea that you can’t separate tolerance for abhorrent thoughts, and tolerance for abhorrent actions.

There you are! I thought, for sure, you’d have the top comment on this. Of all the times you’ve played devil’s advocate (or whatever it is you purport to do) for the right, this is finally a time when you’d probably be right on. The left forcing polarization over nuanced understanding, and going so far as to get…

If they started asking them about PS4 versions for every Switch title, everyone would make a big stink about it[...]

I can get behind most of these examples, but XP? XP was a generation-defining OS that was a massive success. So much so that it’s still being used, beyond support. What beef do you have with XP?

The tax code is already needlessly complex. I think the practical problems could be a lateral change, personally, but maybe that’s optimistic.

You’re still not taking into account the second part of his suggestion: increased personal tax rates.

And that’s why, as much as we tend to get along here in the comments, we’ll never really be on the same page. HamNo, as far as I’m concerned, is the worst contributor to this site. Blind, unfailing loyalty to the sickening social dependency that is socialism will always ring as foolhardy as blind, unfailing loyalty to…

Possibly! But smart contracts are going to be a huge part of quite a few major industries, so I’m guessing that blockchain processing will be in high demand for quite a while.

Well, believe me, I’ve got no love lost for Isha. Probably why I didn’t read your original comment as condescending or asinine.

ITT: Cretins who think that you can engage with art without knowing and understanding the artist. As if all art isn’t pure expression of an artist.

Finally, someone in the thread talking turkey. But, if you know enough about processor architecture and bandwidth to worry about the differences between Infinity Fabric and eMIB, you also know how silly it is to speculate on processor tech 5+ years out.
