Re: Parler

Has everyone watched "The social dilemma" on Netflix? (Netflix throws its FANG brothers under the bus, with prejudice) I think they may have overreached in a few spots, but the basic ideas were sound, and good examples of why you can't count on opening up more free speech outlets as a way to solve f...

Re: Parler

Either way, this is a huge problem on "free speech" platforms. "Free speech" in the extreme sense doesn't work for the same reason that anarchy doesn't work. The proof will always be that platforms geared toward "free expression" often attract "extreme expression" and some creative person will figur...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Okay, yeah, basically Carmack is saying the the ECCO needs a good API, which might be a fair point, but it is what it is, and just because cleaning the attic might take a long time doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Can't he get a couple of punks from MDB to help? But again, great work showing his lo...

There is no law that states that we must tell the truth about China.

Re: China takes Taiwan..

Suppose Trump continues as president. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that he's won the election as you believe he has and will continue to function as president through 2024, and then into a third term afterwards. At a certain point, whatever is going on with China, he may grow tired of it, ...

Re: Donald Trump and DCP: A Tale of Two Narcissists

, but questioned the then-format of MI at any university What was the "format" of the MI and why did you have a problem with it? he rubbed my nose in the ground over the issue. It's not surprising he didn't want to take criticism over peer review at Interpreter. Articles are "gated", sure, but ther...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

To my nonprofessional understanding, not finding something that showed persistence beyond the Early Modern English timeframe, using a British corpus, is NOT the same as there being no persistence, because colonial language development lagged behind British language, and an American corpus would lik...

Do you have a pizza parlor where you can stash them and drink their blood?

I know a good one that not only has wi-fi, but a direct link to Dominion so you can personally change votes to Biden while eating pizza and washing it down with O+ in a highball.

Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

If it comes to a fight, Caleb Fryar is ready. But the 26-year-old son of Brett Fryar, the chiropractor, said he hoped Trump’s fraud allegations would instead spark a massive mobilization of Republican voters in future elections. Do they think it will be that much harder for Dominion to throw out a ...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Not even sure it was an orange, but I was thinking about penicillin. it is my understanding that prior to this, Skousen's writings proposed that the Book of Mormon language was Hebraic, not 19th century. Yes, I recall a youtube video where he was stuck arguing for both. Why was it a problem that the...
