    I get that the heavier bowling ball affects the acceleration of the earth more than the lighter feather, but I don’t see how that means it’s falling faster as the meme is stating. The bowling ball would meet the earth first when dropped separately and from the same height because the earth is (imperceivably) accelerating toward it faster than it does the falling feather, but both the bowling ball and feather are falling at the same rate due to Earth’s gravitational force.

    Or am I missing something?




  • You attack other people personally because you don’t have answers to or understanding of the actual content of others’ posts and comments.

    You live in extremes and paint primarily with the “always” paint brush.

    You react emotionally and defensively regardless of the context. The only tool in your toolbox is self-righteous anger outside of objective reality.

    You consistently use your comments to try and shame other people for having thoughts and beliefs that they never said they have.

    You feel that all of your anger and hatred is justified because you’re fighting for what’s right. In reality your ethics are surface level, reactionary, and formed from memes.

    You paint people as having unethical viewpoints despite their having never inferred as much. You do this to feel justified in being ride and cruel to them as this is how you feel most comfortable expressing yourself.

    You make connections and assumptions outside of evidence, context, or fact. It was no surprise to see that you’re heavily in to conspiracy theories.

    When you’re called out for an illogical or nonfactual comment, you double down on your own ignorance instead of admitting fault or simply changing your view.

    You believe that invoking the word “Wikipedia” is the same thing as citing a legitimate and relevant source.

    Your lack of self-awareness is evident as you still haven’t looked back through your comment history and felt enough shame to decide not to be that person anymore.

    You speak with the experience, surety, and understanding of a child screaming at their parent that “it’s haf to, not have to!!”. I hope this is due to youth and immaturity and isn’t a more permanent condition.

    Also, you’re blocked now.


  • I believe they’ve completely lost the plot. They invoked the word “Wikipedia” as a cited source, they were unable to follow any point being made, but their comment in a different thread from a couple hours ago actually helped me start to understand what’s going on:

    They started calling everyone a misogynist for no obvious reason. They were unable to communicate their thoughts in a meaningful way or interpret information presented to them.

    Further, 17 hours ago, on a post that was clearly pro-piracy and not AI related at all, they commented, “AntiAI bros raging at this.” There’s zero relationship to the post.

    I’m seeing a trend where they have their own opinions (censorship is always bad, misogyny is bad, AI is good) and then decide to share those opinions with tangential or no connection to that which they’re replying. They’re also fond of personal attacks and several common argument fallacies. Their comment history reads like a tribute to /r/im13andthisisdeep.

    I hope it’s merely age and maturity-related and not something more permanent.


  • I think it’s ok for the owners of a privately owned platform to make decisions for that platform. If they want to exclusively show nudity, GTA6, or drying paint, I’m all for their autonomy.

    Your autonomy allows you to utilize their platform or not based on their choices. If the absence of a focus on the groin, butt, and breasts on a green screen offends your values, I would suggest not visiting Twitch.

    To bring it back your original comment, enjoying a platform’s decision to desexualize content while also being opposed to a government ban on violent video games is perfectly reasonable. The two scenarios are entirely different in scope and and context.



  • Banning violent video games is government censorship and is a 1st amendment issue.

    Banning certain behaviors on their own platform is entirely the perogative of the platform owners.

    The two are not alike whatsoever.

    Your argument is akin to saying that not allowing strangers to fill your home and smoke crack is “censorship” and is “just so dumb.”

    Disagreeing with the rule or the underlying reasoning is anyone’s right, but disagreeing with a private owner’s right to decide who and what is allowed on their property is insincere at best as you would never agree to your own rights being infringed.


  • If their model was simply, “were going to pay you to stream,” then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.

    They don’t want that. It’s their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.

    The “why” doesn’t even matter. Maybe it’s run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don’t want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn’t. It doesn’t matter. It’s their property and they decide what’s allowed.


  • I can’t stress this enough: OP’s account is obviously a Chinese propaganda account. All they do is point out issues with the West (good) and dismiss absolutely any criticism against China (bad). They claim to be some leftist dude in Canada. The prolific posting alone couldn’t be one person with other activities in their life like eating food or sleeping.

    Oh, and this post links to Iranian state news. OP often falls back on calling criticism of China western media lies but Iranian news sources are good to go I guess.

    Just block their account and enjoy way less China is Perfect spam.

    There is demand for first class seating from nearly 100% of fliers. They’re just not willing to pay what AA is charging. This isn’t a supply and demand decision. Econ 101 says that means AA should reduce the price, but capitalism in practice says the constant desire for more profit and the monopoly that most industries have been allowed to grow and maintain means never lower the price and find a new way to fuck the plebs who don’t even own a single yacht.
