@kissel_adam @cafreiman ASML and its lithography machines probably the most significant.

@saradietschy I imagine this is akin to a child that somehow easily pinpoints something about your body that you're insecure and comments on it... innocently or not it still hurts.

@sjokz @Vedius Yes! Tons of immersion. I'd clarify in saying that it's better to use the target language's subtitles, at least eventually. Also using something like anki to review words you're learning from your immersion is a good supplement to help reinforce.

@ChristianSelig I'm using a sony 42 inch 4k oled. I was concerned about the pixel density, and I'd still prefer it to be, well, an 8k display in the same size, but it's actually pretty great... because it doesn't have a matte coating on it that makes the text look blurrier. It's acceptable to me

@kenbolido This adapter works for 4k 120hz on my m1

@JoshEakle All legacies are built on coercion. I think private property is a very useful tool for societies, but it is at its very core coercive. It always comes back to the guy with the bigger stick saying that it's theirs, and then subsequently protecting that societally.

@Kwcalhoun1 @JoshEakle People generally don't need to band together to defend a nation. I know you know that the military is but a small fraction of the people in the United States. What reason is there for states to secede from the United States? Ever-so-slightly more self determination?

[Least @LeastLeast]

@Kwcalhoun1 @JoshEakle Yes, American does mean wildly different things. Why do you think that matters at all? It's not a football team.

[Least @LeastLeast]

@Kwcalhoun1 @JoshEakle There is a shared identity of being American. They'd be worse off because of geographical and geopolitical situations. The states in the United States are interdependent and the shared resources are an advantage to (most) states.

@Kwcalhoun1 @JoshEakle Because it's beneficial to the people participating in that society. People living in Texas don't live the same way people do in Vermont, or West Virginia, or California, or Hawaii. But every one of those states would be worse off without being a part of the United States.

@Kwcalhoun1 @JoshEakle You don't need a nation to have all of its citizens in perfect agreement with each other; there are many microcosms within the United States that can coexist because we share at least some values with each other. Homogeneity is neither a solution nor should it be a goal.

@LittleCrkt @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith Your original question was disingenuous. You were trying to lead someone down a line of thinking to prove a point, rather than being genuinely curious.

I don't really know what to tell you, if you can't understand how externalities like government differ from the weather, sorry

[Least @LeastLeast]

@LittleCrkt @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith Your question is leading and disingenuous. Systemic racism would apply to externalities that are imposed by outside forces. That is different from intrinsic forces and from nature. They all probably play a role in outcomes, but for some reason you just want to deny one entirely.

@Dejectarian @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith I don't necessarily think that the people implementing those policies were actively targeting blacks, but the outcome and the disparity for basically the same "crime" was quite clear.

[Least @LeastLeast]

@Dejectarian @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith A policy doesn't need to be explicitly discriminatory for the outcomes to be systemically racist. The most common example being crack vs. powder cocaine sentencing laws. Before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, the penalties for possession of crack cocaine were 100:1

[Least @LeastLeast]

@LittleCrkt @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith Do you think black people are just intrinsically more likely to commit crime? There's obviously plenty of explanations for the disparity in the prison population, but again, that's why it's called *systemic* racism. It's not about individuals, but the policies.

[Least @LeastLeast]

@Dejectarian @JoshEakle @ComicDaveSmith It is, in fact, systemic racism. I think people see those words and they think that it means the people implementing policies are racist (only sometimes), but it's more about the consequences of political policies that, intentionally or otherwise, harm groups of people more.

@jrc99us @JoshEakle Ron Paul was the 1988 Libertarian Party candidate for President. What are you on about?

[Least @LeastLeast]

@JoshEakle I like Gary Johnson, too. The LP needs more pragmatic voices and electable candidates. Unfortunately it seems the libertarian movement just continues its flanderization, detracting potential allies.
