It's any topic too.. look at Covid.. either it's the end of man kind and everyone is going to die or it's swine flu 2020 and no big deal. If you have any opinion other than that some people will get upset with you. Well.. I'm sorry, I think the truth is somewhere in between those two extremes. I think the cause is filter bubbles and social echo chambers.Last edited by k1e0x; 10 June 2020, 04:06 PM.

For example I don't care about the stance on Earth's shape (it's turtles all the way down) or opinions on Moon landings (hah, you fools believe the Moon is real) of the average coworker, we are not working in a field where that matters.

It may sound strange to a youngling, but this day and age is so much easier to discuss something in an open way with someone else, thanks to communication technology connecting the rare smart people together so they can actually discuss stuff, while in the past they would only have unwashed plebs around them and you can't talk with someone that thinks the only topics worth discussing is the opposite sex and sports or gossip.
If there is something that makes you wish the world to burn, that is it.

It's kind of sad, but this isn't the end of the world.
It's an useful warning call though, because while it's perfectly fine to fumble around this time, the next pandemic could be much more dangerous and fapping around for months before doing anything noteworthy about a pandemic will be really bad.

This is not a new phenomenon. Discussing anything in an open way has always been difficult.

It will sure cull a lot of very elderly, so it will be a godsend for many, especially in this day and age where the medical technology keeps alive the barely functional body of people whose mind has been dead for many years.

Hell some of my friends we hold raging arguments from time to time.. it's fun.. on-lookers get all concerned too, it's cute. lol In the end we just laugh.
What isn't ok is forcing your beliefs on other people. We have to accept and allow people to believe what they want, and in most cases without shame or ostracism. I can believe someones viewpoints are pretty disgusting personally.. and still not hate them for it.
The alternative is our cultural overlords will decide what our proper beliefs are and wrong think will be a crime. It will also mean the death of philosophy as a science. I don't find that an acceptable future to live in.Last edited by k1e0x; 10 June 2020, 04:53 PM.

You can install Steam on Freebsd now!
Just noticed too that synergy (iKVM to share mouse and keyboard across multiple systems) now works great from the native FreeBSD pkg on my main FreeBSD desktop and the macbook off to the side after Catalina upgrades. This is also very good. Ultimate desktop.
Using FreeBSD as the primary workstation so far has been an awesome experience. (Im about 8 months in now, and its been faultless). Only real negative has been trying to get Android development running natively ... but thats cool, I just jump into a linux VM under bhyve thats all setup for Android work when I really need to go there.
So this CoC update is icing on the cake
happy BSD camper here
long live FreeBSD

I don't want to discuss that any more. I'm getting a just thinking about it.

Are we discussing slugs or alien lifeforms now? Because I was under the strong impression that humans weren't a hermaphrodite species.

My main point does not change. People in the state registry should be categorized with what they are closest to at the biological level, as that's the only thing that matters for the state.
If for some strange reason it's not possible to neatly categorize them as "male" of "female" then they get a both "M" and a "F" in their file as they are more or less both and will be at risk for both male and female illnesses to some extent. That's all there is to it, and all a state should need to care about.Last edited by starshipeleven; 11 June 2020, 10:09 AM.
