  • I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.

    The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.

    Old dog, new tricks, etc.

    Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.

    NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.


  • Videogames and YouTube reaction vid can both go to the same singular pair of Bluetooth headphones.

    Your partner is not being fair to you. They don’t need to be listening at full volume, either. That’s obnoxious.

    Shit, if I wanna plug my guitar in my huge amp and shred guitar all day, do I just tell my gf to deal with it because I’m depressed and have ADD? No, I use amp simulators and headphones.


  • Okay I’m free now.

    Im so glad you gave me this gem.

    Your response itself relies on several fallacies… false equivalence, hasty generalization, equivocation, a strawman, and non sequitur reasoning, probably more?

    You’re incorrectly conflating logical fallacies (which are clear mistakes in reasoning) with inductive uncertainty or experimental limitations in science. Logical fallacies invalidate reasoning structures. Scientific reasoning explicitly includes uncertainty and error correction as fundamental principles; it’s not fallacious; it’s cautious and probabilistic.

    Additionally, your example of Socrates is actually demonstrating deductive validity, a different kind of reasoning entirely. Thus, your argument misrepresents logic and science simultaneously. Please correct these fallacies if you want this conversation to proceed productively

    Edit: see? Worked like a charm.


  • Why do we not have some brilliant mind just fully memorize all of the ins and outs of how these arise and just crush bad faith arguments by simply labeling them in real time rather than engaging with them?

    Like, if framed correctly “I don’t engage in logical fallacy. I will immediately call it out, move on, and go back to the relevant topic.”

    “Oh you don’t care about starving children?”

    “That’s an appeal to emotion. I won’t engage with this obvious logical fallacy. I will address the causes of children suffering to alleviate their suffering.”

    “But the cause is illegal immigrants!!!”

    “That’s a strawman. I won’t engage with logical fallacies. If you’d like to have a discussion about solving problems, Im all ears, but until we’re done pointing fingers, this conversation is over.”
