> No political party is going to say they're "pro censorship".

There are plenty of political parties that proudly claim to oppose "hate speech".

> But if they promise to target specific groups of people to close their schools, regulate how they dress, ban their prayers, and suppress their art, it's all about restricting their freedom of expression.

I could be wrong, but it looks like their plan is to cut public funding, not to censor those things.

Funny, I usually hear that sentiment from left wing sources complaining about billionaires.

Yeah, seems to have been fixed

Unlike consoles, general purpose computers are designed to be operated with a keyboard and mouse, not a controller. Yes, you can use steam in big picture mode, but you still have to launch it.

> So it's like in an English novel where someone might be referred to as Smith by the narrator but John in dialogue, but with an extra 50%, at least, of confusion.

I've been reading Tom Clancy recently, and that's basically the Jack Ryan books. Somehow, "Jack" is actually a nickname for "John".

> Although Sweden is a bit strange in the fact that banks have as much equal say as the government authority does in you starting a company, and if they don't want you as a customer, they can simply deny the right for your company to start!

Wait, how does that work? Are you saying that if the bank doesn't like me, instead of just denying me a loan, they can convince other banks not to loan to me as well?

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just ask chatgpt to modify the save file directly?

Yeah. If I'm trying to debug a problem and keep running into error messages, the emojis would drive me up the wall.

I disagree; Spotify is good at serving up sound, so it makes sense for them to also serve audiobooks and podcasts; just like it makes sense for video streaming services to have both movies and tv shows. Similarly for concerts; people who listen to a lot of music are probably interested in going to see their favorite band live.

Mind you, I definitely have complaints about the app (like notifications interrupting music, their abysmal lock screen widget, and their "randomization" that always ends up playing the same few songs from a list of thousands); but I also understand why they want to expand.

Why not? There's a difference between castrating a human and castrating an animal, right?

You can't just say the statistic is false; you have to provide evidence.

> up is better than down

Makes sense; up gives you a better vantage point, so its easier to see danger. Not to mention that it gives you a fighting advantage; your attacker would have to run uphill to get to you, tiring them out.

> light is better than dark

Humans rely heavily on our sight, and we tend to operate in the daytime. If you were a nocturnal animal, I'm sure you would consider dark to be better than light.

> positive is better than negative

Getting something is better than giving it away.

> I would go as far as to add the male/female asymmetry to this: seemingly senseless, yet historically present

What do you mean by this?
