A "Ministry of Truth" only works when a force controls all the information and, if global sources of information are controlled the discussion feels moot (from a "putting checks to the government" standpoint).

And absolutely. Corporations legally being people and being "entitled" to "free speech using money" has to be obliterated. It's farcical on its face and enables billionaires to multi-dip on stealing from the populace by siphon away their money and then using those immorally-obtained funds to have an outsized representation as the discretionary force of corporations.

You know how corporations can have a voice? By the people who work in that corporation voting like they already are able to do. That's it.

I've never heard TDD described like this. I cannot even understand how this works from a project standpoint.

"We need a new feature. Todd's written the test already, so everyone just have at it with your fastest implementation; whoever passes first, gets to go to prod!"

Thanks for sparing enough attention to comment.

Personally, I would be too distressed by the genocide happening in the same county[sic] as me to post a pointless comment on this on content that wasn't personally directed at me. But you must be made of different stuff than regular Joes.

Huh. You were right: you do fall to doomerism quickly.

I cannot be arsed to disassemble someone else's "shit's fucked" mentality this early in the morning, and I refuse to have unearned, foreign ennui stinking up my headspace.

What I said wasn't for Democrat talking points in the next debates. They were things to hammer into the new laws if the government is ever reforged.

No, if you say inflammatory shit that leads to deaths then it doesn't matter if you didn't mean to. Politicians should be afraid to speak if their words can kill and disenfranchise.

We don't have to fall into pits of objective truth. If you say something, be perfectly explicit about what is a factual statement and what is your opinion. If you're making a factual statement, have a source and make sure the source is credible. Or face penalties when your bunk is debunked.

Science has already tread the path of "attempting to find truth through the consensus of doubts". No need to try and trailblaze.

There needs to be legal and political repercussions for politicians lying or misrepresenting the truth. Doesn't matter if they didn't mean to, then they should've done better research.

I imagine things would be better if all that fillibuster time was converted into them carefully choosing what to say.

Nah, there were humans that existed before cultivating fermented stuff percolated throughout the various zeitgeists.

You say "when you were 10 years old" but that is no metric for time. That could be last year for all anyone knows. When I first saw anything about Roblox (which I think was early 201X), the vibe was about building like Minecraft but more creative mode.

Which European countries still use FPTP?

If you can fit 10k mods on NV, you know why the game is crashing. It's just not something someone has fixed or it's inexplicably holding the rest of the game together alongside the spit, thread, and desperation.
