It's a common Tactic to pretend children are some sort of tabula rasa full of innocent wisdom that can be use to prove points.

It's ridiculous, usually fake and hide the biases of those who nurtured them to believe whatever they believe, even if it's by pure imitation.

So you're absolutely right to call BS.

You realize that you're putting your "boring moderating reality" against the very real claims of goverments and people here to

- Remove people who didn't obey the house imprisonment rules during covid from society.

- Removing their jobs and ability to make a living

- Stealing their money

- Denying their ability to healthcare for any procedure

- Be put in camps permanently until they "complied" because "their body, our choice".

Once you factor that type of attack where no human rights nor Nuremberg trial result was respected, the faux civility and non bias rings absolutely hollow.

I'll try to attack their points with more faux civility like you want because staying silent is what got us there, but sometimes it may come up as more raw, since it's very easy to repeat state euphemisms to destroy people's lives but it's harder to counter permeated propaganda.

Edit: Reading my post again, it's absolutely on point. Hard to regret that. How would you write it?

If you are not doing this same thing to every comment trying to remove my freedom, which then will call me some label for disagreeing with COVID policies or whatever then I can't really take any of the guidelines seriously. I was here when it was all about segregating the ones who disagreed from life, even denying healthcare while still forcing them to pay taxes.

We're way past fake politeness when the discourse is always pro war, pro xenophobia for certain acceptable targets (e.g. Russia), pro disparaging certain alleged ideologies/parties (e.g. US republican).

2020-2021 happened and there's been no apology. Till then, the biased moderation rings hollow.

How about you parent your kid instead of trying to get the government to parent everyone else's? What the hell is you and everyone else's problem who want to get into other families' business.

Disgusting intrusiveness and authoritianism.

This is what the crowd shouting misinformation and "protect X" asks for all the time.

You want nanny states and nanny corps and authoritianism through and through (remember covid policies?), you'll get this more and more.

You either start rolling back all that BS in the name of freedom (no, not freedumbs) or you can't really complain.

No they aren't. Of course you cans also call it's sonar eyes but it isn't.

Anthropomorphizing cars doesn't make them humans either.

No. Cars don't walk. Submarines don't swim. You can call it navigation if you want but words have meaning.

Noted. Probably the best thing would be simplified color coding in separate graphs showing 3 types of movements from worse to more efficient. And a good statement around what's the point.

Conveying information through images is all about making something understood, not about graph completeness.

False. Next.

Analyzing the typing experience in vim by looking at pure keystrokes would be a mistake if you don't understand the tradeoffs and benefits of having a modal system and operating the editor without leaving the home row or needing a mouse.

Good remappings/config would also significantly alter your experience.

In the example, why would you even move with single chars and not words or to the end of line? I think it's definitely a poor example because the point of the diagram/investigation is not clearly described.

They won't have the same phones we do. Elites don't follow rules. They push them into others.

I love waymo but I think people rushing to defend this are making a mistake. It should come at a high cost to the company, if they make any sort of tragic mistake like this such that they invest a lot to not commit it again.

Otherwise it's a slippery slope of "well but it's generally good"
