I guess theoretically LGBT fascism could exist in some alternative timeline. I'm trying to imagine it. The uniforms would be wild.

Sure the American public is going through a bad phase right now, but that's pretty normal. The fact that having a demagogue capture maybe 15 percent of the public's support (I'm only counting real MAGA) has caused the entire government to radically change is an indictment of the political systems, more than the public. Specifically gerrymandering, plurality voting, the electoral college, bicameral legislature with filibuster, lifetime court appointments, and an independently elected president. Probably more that I'm forgetting about. Human nature isn't going to change, but we can change how a nation makes policy.

Nah this is 60 minutes putting pressure on their new handlers to not squash the segment. Now everyone knows it's coming, and if it doesn't air people will notice. I think it's a wise move.

I wonder if this question doesn't say more about the psychology of the person being asked. People vary in the degree to which they identify with their future selves. I believe this characteristic is often called psychological connectedness. It seems that people who have a stronger psychological connectedness would likely prefer the erased hour. Personally, I'm more inclined to choose the one minute, because the immediate experience feels more real to me. However, I think some of the technical questions about the long term impact of being tortured complicate things. Like would I be suffering PTSD for the next 20 years? If so, then things become much less apples-to-apples.

Honestly what are you talking about?

It was a long time ago and only briefly, but I agree this does not sound at all like what I recall from a CBT session.

More than Abrego Garcia? Probably because he had a court order not to be deported.

Maybe the staff don't want to come back after being doxxed.

I think this is the wrong time to be having that argument. Particularly since the issue here isn't truly admissions criteria. It's about crushing dissent. I don't love Harvard for a lot of other reasons, but we can talk about that maybe after the wannabe dictator is dealt with.

We have the option to block posts by keyword, but communities have to be blocked explicitly by name. I'd like to be able to block all communities by keyword, or regex.

I have two use cases. The first is for communities that exist with the same name on many instances. The second is to be able block all the ".*meme.*" communities.

 

Pretty much title. I haven't had cable in a decade, and I'm not really a sports person, so I'd really rather not have to sign up for some sports streaming package, but I do kinda like watching Avs games. A friend asked me why I didn't just get an antenna to watch the games, but the broadcast TV page on the Denver Post doesn't look like they actually carry Avs games. Just wondering if I missed something.

Conversations with Tyler (conversationswithtyler.com)

First thing I need to do is say how much I love the interviews that Tyler Cowen does. The topics range widely, and yet the questions are always remarkably well-informed, unique, and interesting. Honestly the greatest interviewer I know of. Give it a listen.

Secondly I'm curious if anyone else has an interviewer (who does podcasts?) that they would recommend.
