Right.

As in Right wing.

Sorry mate, this “money” thing can only be owned by humans. See, that dog over there, that chair, that building, or that chatbot over yonder, they can’t own anything, because they’re not human. If you are not part of humanity, you can’t own human IOU credits. So, have fun at the island, we’ll check in on you in October.

It’s true yours is a far more civilized way of doing it. My version, if you really think about it puts a target on the back of the Dragons to be slain early so that their Hoard is redistributed to the Free Peoples. Your version ensures that no Dragon ever hoards up too much and we save ourselves all the Dragon slaying dramatics.

No wealth above a certain amount should be inherited. There is no moral justification for absurd amounts of intergenerational wealth.

If only there was an entire federal agency whose sole job would be to track them down and tax them.

So like …kids of illegal aliens are … sovereign citizens?

Question : didn’t the supreme court just say that lower level judges can’t block him? Which would mean that appeal judges can? So this question is far from settled?

Of all the things European countries do, that’s the one you like?

So the TV pundits are calling this “class warfare”, right?

What kind of “discussion” beyond “Don’t Go To Trumpist USA It’s Not Worth It, PS RIP Their Tourist Industry” do you want to meaningfully have?

Trump isn’t “considering” anything. He’s not a rational actor, he’s a narcissistic egomaniac, unable to ask or take advice, unable to think about anything that isn’t about how cool he is perceived.

Frankly, I have way more often ended up scratching my head for some cryptic piece of syntax than the opposite. Sure I could sit down and spend the rest of my life learning each language designer’s favourite syntax optimisations, but I kinda don’t want to. I’m a human, not a parser.

And frankly, a good IDE editor should be able to fold/unfold verbose syntax. Better for it then to be there and folded, than for it to not be there and for someone to have to work backwards the intendrd meaning of every single line of code.

I don’t understand why verbose is bad. Verbose is maintainable.

I think that’s exactly the reference here.

“Semites” as a description of a set of people is as much antiquated a terminology as the word “Aryans”. In fact it was Ernest Renan that first made that distinction in the 19th century to specifically frame history as a tension between Semites and Aryans (cf Hannah Arendt). It’s of course just a bunch of scientific racism bollocks. And it is precisely because of that that the term “antisemitism” has always meant hatred of Jews in particular (in the “Jews vs Aryans” sense).

The only term that persists in the sciences today is the term “semitic languages”, which is basically similar to “indo-european languages”, and which of course has nothing to do with antisemitism.

The Semites thing is a red herring. anti-Semitism is Jew hatred.

You mean the “my heart goes out to you” gesture?

Remember kids, this is cheapening the word anti-Semitism and making it more and more meaningless. In the long run, this will hurt Jews. (Who do you think will be blamed by the fascists for US imperial over-extension?)

Exactly.

Enlightenment has been around for 28 years. This means there is enough adoption for it to keep going on.
