wemby's so cool man. it's so sick that a potential GOAT of a major sport is a 7'5 french brandon sanderson fan who trained with shaolin monks and cries after games and is possibly communist. we have no choice but to stan
@Krzysztof_Szy@fjm_011 I guess so? But for reference, a different password in this game is 1805 and Bond remarks that it's the Battle of Trafalgar, which seems way more like a canonical "famous battle" to me
@nosilverv also why awareness of this dynamic doesn't really help. "you shouldn't stereotype people you disagree with as crazy assholes" becomes "ugh yeah, I hate it when people do that, the people I disagree with are doing that bad faith echo chamber argument thing all the time"
@nosilverv this is why the strategy in the last panel rarely works--"I just don't like crazy assholes" becomes, in a fluid environment like the internet, another way to reinforce division. "I just prefer reasonable people, who happen to agree with me, over crazy assholes, who happen not to"
I'm laughing so hard at this slide a friend sent me from one of Geoff Hinton's courses;
"To deal with hyper-planes in a 14-dimensional space, visualize a 3-D space and say 'fourteen' to yourself very loudly. Everyone does it."
