You can try this.

It's not perfect, but whatever is missing, you can just search it up.

Have you tried an image search lately? It's fucking terrible. It's all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

This doesn't eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It's a moral standard. If moral people didn't decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn't exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

So Karl Popper was still right and society shouldn't tolerate the intolerant.

Yeah, not really. Only the Capitol Police are saying that.

I bet most cops are happy.

I hope they do and replace Facebook. But in their current iteration, they won't. That's all I'm saying.

As much as Facebook sucks, these things will never replace it.

Just clicking through them, it's apparent it suffers from the same problem lemmy has. You have to read things and follow instructions and then choose an instance....

Yeah, you lost everyone at the first step of having to follow instructions. People just want a Sign Up button, and that's it. That's the only step they're willing to go through.

If, after clicking Sign up, they then have to figure out which instance (whatever that is) they have to choose, they'll just quit right there.

Really? I thought most people moved to 7-Zip.

What?? Are you saying a writer who writes about crazy shit is guilty of doing or wanting to do those crazy things?

If that's what you're saying, that is absolutely insane.

How sad would the world be if writers couldn't put down whatever comes up in their minds. How boring and stilted every book would be if writers had to constantly worry about what people would think about their writing.

The simple solution is that there is no "evil."

I like the story The Egg by Andy Weir. It gives an example of that idea.

Alan Watts also talks a lot about that sort of thing.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn't be nearly as popular.

They're shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through "illegal" means.

Seriously, all this crazyness with the US election has given me newfound sympathy for the people of Russia.

Americans literally have every respectable news source available to them, and they still get brainwashed by these buffoons because they only get their news from facebook, tiktok, fox news, and shit. They choose to be ignorant.

The Russian people at least have the excuse that they're literally living under a dictator and are fed bullshit everywhere they look. They have to actively and at the risk of their security seek out valid sources for what's actually happening.

Imagine if every news channel in the US was just Fox News. I guess we might not have to imagine it for much longer...
