no, CEOs make money from other peoples' labour.


uh, no, they work and get paid like everyone else

they do get lucrative options, but many workers also get 401ks which tie their economic interests to capital as well

Even if those thousand typewriters started typing at the moment of the Big Bang, they likely wouldn't have come close to replicating a single novel that exists today.


ITP DNA is less complex than novels.


A lot more than 1000 "typewriters" were working on DNA since the big bang

anyone who feels bad for a nazi who got punched is a nazi sympathizer

I don't think anyone "feels bad" for the nazi who go punched. IT was more of a that dude shouldn't have been punched for being an asshole who was minding his own business.

Now that it's clear he threw something, the punch was warranted.

it would have been warranted even if the nazi didn't throw anything

Right from the link you posted ...

“Our analysis focuses on what most Americans would recognize as spanking and not on potentially abusive behaviors,” says Elizabeth Gershoff"

In other words, spanking is not the same as abuse. Abuse is intended to be destructive. Corporal punishment is one options parents might try to help keep their child on the right course. Whether it is something you want to do with your children or not, your intention of associating corporal punishment with abuse, is why it was a s*** post. You intended to stir s*** up and I regrettable took your bait.


I'd read that very differently. I'd take it to mean that they were comparing behaviours are often not considered abuse with more extreme behaviours, and found them to have similar effects. That would lead to the conclusion that things we do not think of as abusive can still be abusive.

your reading is correct. thanosibe's is incorrect

I enjoyed it overall

not sure how I feel about the blues vocabulary you put in there - I'm not sure it works that well when the harmony is based so much on Maj7 chords

the stops you put in also kinda interfere with the flow of the piece imo

I'd like to hear more rubato - you kinda hinted at it a little bit, but didn't really take it anywhere. the last chorus seems like it could be slowed way down

you also use the same voicings, and I'd really like to hear more variety in them. got anything 4th-based? any crunchy dominant chords? maybe some lydian stuff?

Well, there you have it. Words don't actually mean what they mean anymore. They mean whatever averagejoel wants them to mean to fit whatever political agenda he wants to push

you're deliberately misinterpreting what I said

Nope, you are trying to twist the meaning of the word violence to make it mean something it doesn't.

I've already explained this, but here's the post again:

https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/27/Appeal-to-Definition

Appeal to Definition

(also known as: appeal to the dictionary, victory by definition)

Description: Using a dictionary’s limited definition of a term as evidence that term cannot have another meaning, expanded meaning, or even conflicting meaning. This is a fallacy because dictionaries don’t reason; they simply are a reflection of an abbreviated version of the current accepted usage of a term, as determined by argumentation and eventual acceptance. In short, dictionaries tell you what a word meant, according to the authors, at the time of its writing, not what it meant before that time, after, or what it should mean.

Dictionary meanings are usually concise, and lack the depth found in an encyclopedia; therefore, terms found in dictionaries are often incomplete when it comes to helping people to gain a full understanding of the term.
