That's a 4x6 dactyl manuform keyboard. It's quite comfy if you're used to touch typing.

Oh and here's a pic of the girl after. Not sure why it didn't show up on the post. Might've been too big a file.

As I understand it, reddit has shattered its trust with its userbase and has hemmoraged users because of it. I can hardly view that as a 'win' for them.

A heuristic to let back-stabbers through the cracks.

I think the common sense solution is creating instances for physically local communities (thus keeping the moderation overhead to a minimum) and being very judicious about which instances you federate your instance with.

That being said, It's only a matter of time before moderation tools are created for streamlining the process.

Let me clarify. To be crystal clear, we're talking about "left" and right on the political compass. It's not a perfect system, but it's the most well known one. Overall, "left" and "right" are bizarre terminologies with aqueous meanings deeply embedded in history.

You are technically correct if you are talking about the political compass. we call "authoritarian left" "Stalinism" and we call "libertarian right" "anarcho-capitalism" or just "libertarianism" in the US.

The problem is that all philosophy founding "leftist ideology" has consistently been "libertarian left", focusing on collapsing hierarchies, dividing power into many hands, and dismantling power structures (such as currency). Anarchism is basically the prime example.

With Marx's communism, his end game is a system without any government, where people simply exchange services and collaborate to create only what they want or need (not to endlessly proliferate waste for profit). Even his "dictatorship of the proletariat", one of the stepping stones to communism, is a democratic system. It is called a "dictatorship" because it revokes the voting rights of the rich.

To boot, the ideologies which exist in the "authoritarian left" and "libertarian right" are full of contradictions and mental gymnastics. They all swear they're communist but make no attempts to actually disseminate power, or gear towards a more democratic system, directly going against Marx's ideals.

Because of this, pretty much every leftist agrees that the "authoritarian left" are not leftist, because they directly betray the philosophy which founds leftist beliefs.

SO to conclude, there is literally no world where someone can genuinely believe the various philosophies within leftism while at the same time starting a campaign alienating minorities, appealing to the general population with populism and returning the state to a former glory, and embarking on a Nazi take-over. This is why Nazism and leftism are completely incompatible, and why literally no Authoritarian can be considered a leftist.

The kind of people who think the Nazis were socialists know neither what socialism is nor what Nazism is.

Pretty sure most mad scientists are in applied science, which are usually just going to research for health effects and potency.

So you'd have a control group which had dyed water with no goat elixir, a group which had water with 10% of the goat elixir,a group with 20% of the goat elixir etc... And then you see over ten years which group develops cancer or other health problems, and try to extrapolate from there.

And then you find out that the water you used for testing was actually undyed goat elixir and that all your results are shit.
