I have the polls are out for the next movie night

I also combined them with the polls for TV night. Putting them on one page reduces the number of polls I have to keep track of later. And reduces the number of links I have to send out to people.

Just a reminder
  • No. Not really. I think creating a post-truth world is more harmful. The way you get around the "harm" of true information is by encouraging people to process true information more maturely. Not by hiding it. There is no harm in truth by itself.

  • Just a reminder
  • So we need to shut people up who's information we percieve will give us outcomes we don't like? I guess the nazis gave that ago and if it worked for them I guess we should do the same. But if we have decided to live in a post-truth world of our own creation, how are we going to make an honest assessment of what true information is actually harmful. We could just be lying to ourselves about that too.

    Here is a good rule of thumb. Never lie to yourself. Never hide from information. Anything else is just developing anti-intellectual habits.

    It kind of reminds me of a quote from And Justice For All from Metallica. "Seeking no truth. Winning is all. Fighting so grim so true so real."

    When both sides frame what is true or false by what will help them win that that's how you end up with a post truth world. Of course that can be easily corrected by lying to ourselves again and claiming that only one side has blame. There is nothing a lie to ourselves can't fix.

  • Just a reminder
  • The media won't run wild with the idea that none of the parties have public approval when all media outlets work for at least one major political party or the other.

    Why would party agents undermine the perceived legitimacy of the party they work for?

  • Just a reminder
  • The intent of someone's speech, or even its outcome, does not make it incorrect. A culture of hiding from reality thinking in doing so it will give us certain outcomes is what this practice will create.

  • US Drone Flights Over Gaza Supported Israeli Operation That Killed Over 200 Palestinians in Nuseirat
  • That and the fact that genocide is infinitely more evil than terrorism. Terrorism isn't good, but genocide can never be the response to terrorism. Because terrorism will always exist, and genocide never can. If genocide was an acceptable response to terrorism then there would be genocide every day, rather than never.

    HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware
  • This logic breaks down when you realize the laptop is mine, and not HP's or Windows. And any software that is mine, my copy of windows should also be mine and not microsoft's, can modify my device if I have selected some of my software to do that.

    Windows won’t take screenshots of everything you do after all — unless you opt in
  • No one would opt-in to having all of their personal files sent to the cloud. But Windows managed to get my father using OneDrive even though he had no idea what it was. He was absolutely pissed when I told him. Somehow that wasn't enough to get off of windows completely though.
