More to the point: when it does you no harm to address someone in the manner they would like, and it does them some good, then why not do so?


It's debatable that this causes no harm. Plenty of examples in recent years that it does.


Those examples being? (I'm not in the States, so maybe I don't have your "common knowledge")


(this may be related to my obs that the high left can only romanticise^W glamourise^W aestheticise^W "semi-stabilise" the injustice ("a thing to a people") giving the low ample room to troll them -- & get the mid to switch

(In the other direction, it was easy for Bob to troll Ayn and get VC wannabes to take a course on^W^W^W^W melt their own alloys?))

>Just because I practice Foxwork and channel an entity which might be a different gender than myself means I need to endorse the self-described 'egg-hatcher' who persuaded a neurodivergent friend of my son to go down a path that hasn't solved his [2] real problems but has added more problems.

(That was before "Human-VLLM" was even in the air so this could well be another "a thing to a people")

Modding golden rule to address the havers (not only the doers) could be left to others.. but

  未经他人苦,莫劝他人善
is a drop-in for

  אל תדין את חברך עד שתגיע למקומו
(no contrived symmetries; for MAGA studies too)


I saw some deer and fox tracks this very morning!

Still not sure what we're talking about here, because I have no idea what an egg-hatcher may be (and all I get from searches are normal incubators)

eg https://www.heka-brutgeraete.de/en/products/heka-favorit-oly...

Anyway, note that I used "when" in the ancestor statement. Can we at least agree on that part? Maybe more explicitly as "in the cases when it does you no harm... , and ..."?

(if we wish to discuss how relatively often that is or should be, I think I'll need more specific details)

PS. wow, and that's early Noon, too; not as dark as late Noon if rumours be true...


egghatcher-- gender transition peer-groomer?

The way I interpret it.. it's the opposite of..

(Advice that declares "no downside!" vs non-advice that messes with the weights pre-surgery-- & are you going to ask them if they'd undergone?

Nice tone from Graham!)


Wow; I think the O.C. has jumped the shark.

(again, this sounds like a good argument to have multiple parties, but good luck getting anything like that off the ground. I wonder how many primaries are open? With a closed primary, I'd think a "center party" might actually appeal to those who are getting whipped to the edges — if there are any of them left, that is)


Someone like Mamdani is strangely centre enough to get some of the "right-leaning" Gen Zs (mid or even lower high trollsters) to bounce off of Trump.

He just ain't the sorta centrist Scott was looking for.

Remember "Bernie bros"?

Bernie and Zohran don't have that school marm look.. Zohran beats Bernie in the semitic dept because (modal male urban "areligious") Gen Z Jew will vote for Zohran (!!!) over what the Dems might offer. Millennial Jews hesitated because Bernie was Jewish.

My hunch only ofc. (From anecdata >> polls)

We might have to go back to Tocqueville to see if, since 1775, American genius don't just think better, they just don't have to think!
