  • Ok, so there are two kinds of idiots.

    1. The idiot who actually doesn’t know any better. They are just following the misinformation wherever it goes because their friend on face book said it and they trust them or something like that. Unironically the bacteria is crunchy and good for you and the bad things aren’t real.
    2. The person you are talking about. The person who knows it is bad and knows what they are doing.

    There are only a few 2s, most are 1s. Like 1 “2” for every 100000 “1”.

    2s, as you have stated, don’t care. They know. They know their arguments are dumb and a misdirection. They will not engage with this meme, because they know what they are doing and they know it is wrong and they know that engaging with this will just out them and expose their bad takes.

    Even if you get rid of all the 2s, 1s will self perpetuate. So you really should target the 1s.

    The 1s are not aware of all of this 6d chess going on. So if you show them this meme, they are going to be confused because they have no problem with refrigeration and they are going to be mad because you are implying that they are dumb and you are not addressing their concerns. So they ignore us and don’t learn anything and we look like idiots. This is what the 2s want.

    The thing is, pasteurization is an easy win for us. No need to overcomplicate it. Just tell the 1s and 2s the truth. Otherwise we end up looking like we don’t have an argument by making up positions they don’t have. If the 2s pipe up, we have the data and “It’s your life, if you want to risk getting deadly diseases tuberculosis, brucellosis, and E. coli, that is your choice”. If they go farther you can just say they are in a death cult, it’s easily winnable even if you are an ok debater.

    Honestly the 1s are looking at this meme and must think it is some other group that is being targeted because they have no problems with refrigeration so this post is like 99% of people who agree with each other patting each other on the back. Fun, but not productive.





  • Yeah, it’s different. I think the machine on the left is an infinite energy machine. Those will never work.

    The machine on the right is a carbon capture machine which does work. But not well enough. Are fast enough to solve any of the problems that we have.

    I’m fine with playing around with a carbon capture machine and seeing if we can improve it, but I would never want to rely solely on it.

    I want to try a thousand solutions to the global warming problem. Including societal and government changes. Cuz you know otherwise we all die.






  • I mostly agree with your post. I take exception to the barely works part. Either the code works or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t work, fix it. If it works, don’t fix it.

    If you “fix” working code, you are spending time adding no value to the project. You could even argue you’re adding negative value because the people who are used to the code working the way it was now have a surprise.






  • The way I look at it is basically the Bible is up for interpretation. Because if you read it literally it uh… Well it’s not good.

    So if you think about it, there are actually several. Christian gods. Each one slightly different based on which verses of the Bible you interpret literally versus figuratively.

    I mean if you want to count down to the individual blood cell spilled of course is going to be different. But the pressures that make the US do horrible stuff are the same pressures that make China do horrible stuff are the same pressures that make any country do horrible stuff.
