i know i’m not the first to make this comparison, but everytime another one of these embarrassing misstatements comes out, i remember the dean scream

so, start with:

x = 0.999…

now multiply each side by 10

10x = 9.9999…

now we subtract x from the left side, and 0.999… from the right, which is fine because they are equal:

9x = 9

and from there it should be fairly obvious that x is also equal to 1, which means 0.999… is also equal to 1

a “fun” game i like to play is when i encounter an anarchist writer i’m not familiar with is to search for the author plus age of consent/majority/adulthood/etc. this pretty reliably brings up a good reason to disregard their entire body of work.

youtube makes a lot of money off of nazi(-adjacent) content. it’s a core part of their business model at this point

our possessions tie us to our past, and it’s to our benefit to choose those ties carefully. how does having those big troves of things you will never look at again make you feel?

ah yes, the “i don’t want you to know how much this is astroturfed” protests, against the “we want to know how much astroturf is there” law.

“you can maybe criticize our ally, but only if you give an equal amount of time, or maybe a bit more, to criticizing their enemies”

i mean, the way the supreme court has operated historically (and especially in the last few years) means they can delete basically any law they don’t like, but you are correct that the decriminalisation of homosexuality is only based on a court verdict. many states never removed the relevant laws from their books, so they could in theory be enforced again if the court changes their precedent.
