I, too, misunderstood "here" to refer to the thread, rather than the broader media and societal discussion. I reread the thread, found nothing like the attitudes you cited, and didn't comment further.
Glad you offered a clarification.

Sky, the past cannot be undone. Riley is dealing with multiple challenges at a very young age. Her parents and extended family (including you) are adjusting to a lot of expectation shifts. Implantation earlier may have been better, but now is far better than later...and this is when the opportunity ...

Everybody say what you think. It you just want to state it as your opinion, and not try to support it, fine. If you want to try to convince someone else, go for it. If you want someone to support their statement, ask them to do so. If they don't, then you're not convinced. Eventually, maybe you'll ...

As I said when you reappeared after the post-Tank hiatus, I was glad you decided to return. The same goes for the others who have resumed participation in discussions. Obviously, our views differ, but somehow we manage those differences without the mutual tail-twisting that happens in other interact...

I agree that the topics are important, but no longer feel enough urgency to engage in refuting what I consider obvious misinformation. For example, on the topic of the pandemic response, assertions than masking doesn't work against respiratory viri, that social distancing does not work, that vaccine...

I'd started an edit to my earlier post, but got caught up in making dinner. In the meantime, Nihilo made very similar points to what I'd meant to say. Here's the core of it: Some people are to dangerous to be allowed to keep breathing. I completely get that; some are unremediable. To quote Linden &q...

Agreed. I do intend to do a reread focused on harvesting all the relative geography clues in the cycle of The Great God's War based on the methods I learned from Atlas of the Land , and to share my (likely very rudimentary) model of world where this series takes place. That's an aspiration, not a co...

Perhaps the suggested rule needs more specificity? Or does that just open another rabbit hole of hairsplitting? As has been mentioned, a potential case for a New Tank is the commonality of Watchers as SRD fans (or at least SRD-aware enough to pass the new member signup ...back when that worked.) I l...

[expletive] Page Breaks... So… is the Bing Chatbot… an actual strong AI or just a machine mimicing human speach patterns? The buzz makes one wonder. There are multiple stories in the media of extended conversations that veer into territory beyond chatbot expectations...and of corporate responses...

It is indeed good to see you back on the Watch, SerScot! You vanished right after the 2016 election; your views on what has transpired since would have been of interest. Hope all is well with you. Jay, and Jay alone is responsible for excising the Tank. I can't speak to his reasoning, but while I mi...
