Great seethe here

The entitlement of clowns who think they get to control what someone else does on a flight because they think they're special is insane. Life's not fair, you don't get more space for being tall or fat, go frick yourself if gonna be my response if you act like a b-word about me reclining my seat.

Have fun having my knees in your back. If youre sitting in front of a tall person you dont lean back. You change how you act based on your copmany. Do you also put your feet on bus seats? Youre a c*nt

Some amazing gigaseethe from tallcel lanklets.

If you politely ask me to go up straight I probably will. If you pitch a fit like a petulant child when I've done nothing wrong we will both be uncomfortable for quite some time. You aren't more important than anyone else on the flight.

I shouldnt have to ask. What youve done is intrude on my space that I paid for. What youve done is essentially walk onto an airplane smelling like shit.

Accusing people of being indian is a little excessive

no, you paid for a seat behind another one that reclines, just like yours does. broke b-word mindset honestly

No, I paid for the space in front of my seat. You sound like a c*nt. If you cant sit up straight you clearly dont have the brain to fly.

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in an academic journal. I'd much rather scientists spend their time making eli5 videos.

-

Just curious, why do you write like that? Reminds when I was 11 and wanted to sound smarter on the internet.

-

My reply is an attempt to address the original comment with precision. To diagram its intended meaning:

alternative theories of consciousness

"Any body of academic thought" [I accede the scientific legitimacy of the domain of discourse, rather than dismissing it.]

know where to go to find well-argued positions on the topic.

"whose paradigmatic communication medium" [This is the beginning of my challenge to the Original Commenter, by granting the information provided authoritative status, which they perhaps cannot fully defend.]

On YouTube you can find plenty of discussions

"is video rather than text"

it's particularly important to explore these discussions as dispassionately as possible if you regard materialism as the only theory of mind that has any scientific credibility or validity.

"is prima facie suspect" [The Original Commenter has asserted that discourse and engagement are important, yet provided only time consuming, low signal-to-noise sources of information.]

As Christopher Hitchens reminds us in his legendary oration on John Stuart Mill and free speech [2]

"Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?" [The only written citations are 1) generic and 2) ancillary to the core topic. I invite the Original Commenter to further his argument more substantively, without demanding exhaustive citations.]

-

OK, let me rewrite it:

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

Academic content is usually in text, not video. Do you have links to written work from them?

Shorter and the exact same meaning. Also doesn't sound like you've been perusing your thesaurus all day.

-

No, the second approach's meaning is more obtuse. What does "usually" mean? Are there acceptable alternatives? If content is in an alternative mode of communication, is it acceptable?

These vagaries permitted in your revision are clear and inherent in the original commenter's motion. Therefore, I submit your adjudication of "shorter and the exact same meaning" is woefully superficial in it's drive for simplicity, to the point there is no thought left that is clear in the original garden. Further, exact and technical communication is what separates Hacker News commenting from the hordes of subreddits that thrive on imprecise babble.

-

At minimum, this does not capture that I _am_ challenging the Original Commenter ("prima facie suspect") to more rigorously defend his position, but doing so respectfully. "One salient" written source is a carefully chosen framing: the OC cannot meet it by replying with support peripheral or meta to the main argument, but neither can he dismiss my request as burdensome, demanding multiple links.

The proposed revision suffers from its terseness, losing both nuance and completeness.

-

Communication is about being understood. Not about crafting the perfect sentence. Even if you craft the perfect sentence, that will be the perfect sentence _for you_, and it might be completely lost on many people, some perhaps even more intelligent than you.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure, but the subtext of your comment is "I opened a thesaurus and tried to seem smart", which is why this conversation derailed here. You can't ignore the subtext to craft a mathematically perfect sentence..

-

Communication is about being understood.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure

Indeed, relying on the implicit when the explicit is sufficient [0] does a disservice to one's readers, in whose ability and charity to comprehend my surface text, without presuming confounding subtextual meaning, I have every confidence.

[0] It is not always; some things can only be gestured at, not grasped.

I hope some day you realize how cringe your comments are.

There's more in there... !clinklickers but I got sick of trying to copy the formatting right because the HNewses also love their >

This was my first time making a gif

I thought it was funny

I had nothing fun to post

I can answer in a single sentence, based on observing my coworkers talking about it.

"Everything is more expensive since Biden became President."

That's it. That's why everyone's gonna frick this up.

You should be grateful your groceries cost double, chuds!

People are still stupid

With democracy itself on the line, the 2024 election will almost certainly be the nation's most consequential since 1860.

The most important election in history!

Vote Blue

... no matter who!

Rest of the world is watching america like it's the wierd uncle at the family barbecue about to dip his peepee in hot sauce - again - despite being hospitalised for doing exactly the same thing before

I thought the rest of the world was too busy importing migrants and wondering why their own populations continue to chud out.

Because illiterate rednecks feel stupid around anyone with half an education and want to be in power. They however are just tools for a wannabe dictator.

Dear subhuman filth

Because he's not in jail for treason yet.

Any day now!

Racism. Christian Nationalism. Uneducated. Wealthy people

He said the buzzwords!

Because having a black man as president 15 years ago broke something in millions of people. A lot of things simmered for a long time, but that was it.

This is why those same people have adopted a 100% or nothing approach to politics and their view of a conservative way of life: any shift, be it minor, is blown to epic proportion and fought against vehemently.

Teaching acceptance of others? It's indoctrination.

Just let the child cut off his peepee, chud.

A modicum of regulations for guns in the form of a background check or waiting period? Coming to take all guns .

lol We already do background checks.

immigration reform? Open borders

That's what we have now.

police reform? Defund the police.

This is literally what Progressives said and if you asked for clarification they were happy to confirm that's exactly what they meant.

marijuana and drug reform? Drug dealers and junkies will be on your porch.

He needs to read @911roofer posts.

fair taxes/tax reform? The U.S. hates job creators.

Define fair.

You get the point.

Any attempt at creating equity is seen as tipping the scales against them, and from that aspect, they are correct to an extent. The scales have been so lopsided for so long that it probably does feel that way.

Equity!

TLDR: When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression.

She's still trying to recover from a bad breakup so I'm trying to be patient with her. She definitely has autism but clearly it's not the cool high-speed/low-drag type like I have.
