KNOW YOUR ELECTORATES PEOPLE!!!

@TruthSandwich

We all know when I twated this what the real answer is.....

@kilroy_was_here Yea I have no clue how hot the oven is.. but it looked designed to get super hot.. it was only a tiny bit bigger than a single pizza and some wood could even fit.. and the pizzaz were relatively small. So it looks like the whole thing is designed with the idea of high heat and fast cooking on many levels.

Recently, on and off, I've been in deep thought about my moral code... My core tenant (reduce suffering, maximize happiness in the aggregate) hasnt changed.. but some of my choices I am in doubt about...

1) Mocking, even lightly as I usually do, other people who are rude, hateful, or even violent towards me,

While I dont feel bad for having done this, per se, I dont think it necessarily achieves my core tenant either. Or maybe it does... I need to consider this.

2) Mocking people, usually limited to public figures, with less compassion than #1 above, by virtue of the fact that they are so far removed I dont expect them to hear it so I dont see harm in mocking them.

My concern here is that someone who adopts a similar quality as the one im mocking might get hurt just by association... for example I was specifically thinking of the case where I laughed at styles at an italian runway that were quite ridiculous and over the top as they tend to be. I thought the person who was posting it was posting it specifically to make fun of it. Turns out they were italian and into style and in fact they were posting it because they liked it. I unintentionally hurt their feelings and we dont talk anymore because of that.

Reflecting back on that the way I see it, mocking it has only the small potentential for good associated with a laugh (which is non-zero to be fair, thats good for the health)... but a much larger potential to hurt someone, more potential to hurt, as I saw, than potential for good.

So maybe I should be carefuil of how hurtful it may be to mock things that arent truely evil and worth mocking as a minimum.

Interesting fact of the day: The location that invented the margarita pizza, still operating today (in Napoli) only cooks their pizza for 60 seconds... The restaurant is called Brandi.

I was never a huge twitter user... 4K followers and decent interaction.. I just found it an uninteresting place...

Anyway I used to check in cause I'd have a bunch of notifications a day. But now I dont get notifications for week (despite cross posting there still).

I got the first notification in a while and bothered to log in again and check it.... LOL "Today is your X anniversary"... hell it is, I never signed up to X... not a notification in sight...

X is dead.

"Thats what unifies italy, its hate for Milano" something i just saw on YouTube... now i need to reach out to my italian friends and learn a thing or two.

@devolute I mean this seriously.. but this might be an oppertunity for a really great project. Especially if you generalize, why dont you do it?

Im thinking a service that allows for general service preference of users and automatically linking... would work like this:

All links for a map would point to the URL of this service with a special format... wouldnt just be maps, can be anything tha has the nature of a universal resource that can be consumed by a number of services... like music with spotify, pandora, etc all as possible endpoints right.

Then if a user goes to the link who has never signed up or use the service it just automatically transfers them to a default transparently, so it looks no different than it does now.

However anyone can sign up for an account there and select their prefered service for various types of links.. this gives you a login and a cookie so its automatic... now when you click those same links you transparently get forwarded to the service of your choice.

What i love here is 1) its easy to do 2) it solves your problem for the whole net if people use it and adopt it 3) even if no one adopts it it still will accomplishw hat you want for your own websites so day one you get what you want out of the box on sites you author.

@curtis Ok so no surprise, now that I did a quick check its not all how Musk seems to represent it... They were picked up in the mediteranian by italian boats and dropped off at the closest country to be handled...

Elon makes it sound like they are shipping italian illegal immigrants to italy or something, not rescuing them from the sea and dropping them off at wherever is objectively closest.

@curtis Thank you.

@thelmadeejay Well you probably rock in other ways, no worries.

@curtis can I get a link to what this is discussing?

@thelmadeejay Saw you favorite something and noticed your name. Are you a Thelemite, I always follow a thelemite :) ?

@thatguyoverthere As for what "legal" means the confusion goes both ways..

You say people should be allowed to interfere.. suggesting you are ok with a group of people getting together saying "that thing that guy doesnt isnt right" (we would call that a law) and then they go and act like police and enforce it...

So your ok with governments forming on the spot to address it (Tahts what that is) whenever they want... sounds like your just doing government with extra steps.

@thatguyoverthere

So a person who lives in isolationa nd self sufficient (so no people around to care) .. that person should be free to torture this children as long as they want.... so long as they can get away with it?

@thatguyoverthere then your answer was true, clearly its not nature but some other factor... so how do we determine at what age a parent should no longer have dictator control over their kid?
