wayfriend, I believe my post four above yours combined with my post about quoting Hitler address most of what you're saying? Somewhat, but I still would like to say what I have to say. But one thing about your post I will say: there is misinformation that is literally dangerous. And there are peopl...

Oops.

Good Post!

Part of the issue here is that the paradigm of e-books is completely different. There is only one "copy" of an e-book that everyone gets to read. When you buy it, you're just adding your name to it. (Yes, you may download a copy of that e-book to your local e-reader. But that's a temporary...

I’m speaking about where I would hypothetically set the bar And I am saying that if you set the bar at "serial killer", then a lot more people will suddenly be tried for being "serial killers". Because that's what happens in a corrupt system where capital punishment is meted o...

wayfriend, I should specify. I only mean declaring the intentions of another poster in the Current Events thread. Okay. But I was asking what Obi-Wan Obi-Wan Nihilo would want to do. See, he posted that Wos should stop posting what is essentially pro-catholic propaganda "with no analysis or co...

Fist, I'd suggest that we put a moratorium on words like, "disinformation", or, "propaganda". They only serve to inflame. So posting it is ok, but pointing it out is the big problem? What would you have us do in response to this then? What's your reasonable and acceptable altern...

Have any serial killers ever been exonerated? That's a specious question. If the bar is far lower than "serial killer", then anyone wrongly put on death row doesn't have to be one. We're not speaking of random occurrences here. If you want to put someone on death row that shouldn't be, yo...

.... almost done.

Congratulations to everyone who had an anniversary during this past year.
Among the great people here at the Watch, you're without a doubt the greatest.

Based on your own wording, I thought it was safe to assume that you disagreed with at least some of our positions. I never expressed any disagreement with any position in that thread. You know it as much as I, since you have yet to see me post there. Do you think that by demonstrating how willing y...

Truly, having a "bar" for the death penalty just means that situations are "adjusted" to be above or below the bar as one's bias dictates. The number of people on death row who were exonerated before execution, and the reasons why they were exonerated, provide some deeply disturb...

It's not the fault of the conservatives that nobody else wants to join in. Isn't it? No one is doing that there. That's a rather disingenuous statement considering that "no one else wants to join in", isn't it? even if you and WF disagree with a particular person's take on them You just k...

Aye. The problem is not about whether there are people who deserve to be punished with death. The problem is about who do we trust to decide? This is not hypothetical - the power has been abused often enough.

Zarathustra: bashes wayfriend
Wayfriend: you're bashing me!
Soulbiter: now, now, let's not worry about who bashed who.
Zarathustra: you're impossible, wayfriend!

I mean, WTF.

Anyway, I am still waiting to see if anything actually gets discussed.

Craptastic.

Still in my top 5 dissection quotes of all time.

If Wayfriend and Wos will admit they were wrong for doing these things, I'll agree that your quoted sentence above should not be said. I call Blatant Evil here. Wos and I never, ever, ever proposed that calling you a racist was "okay" in the new forum. (Nor in the old.) Your pulling us in...

Aw. Jay called us his favorite words. He loves us!

The more accurate definition would be "X^Y is 1 multiplied by X Y times."

2^2 is "1 x 2 x 2".
2^1 is "1 x 2".
2^0 is "1".

However, even this definition fails for fractional exponents and negative exponents.

I am not saying you're wrong - describing powers that way is technically incorrect. I am saying it is conventionally described that way, and that people largely understand what is meant when it is described that way. Therefore, I don't fault chatGPT for relying on the convention. There is probably a...
