  • Okay, let's skip the formal logic talk then and go straight to linguistics.

    The question "Good to merge?" does not contain a grammatical error. It is perfectly well-formed by the grammar that native English speakers actually follow in everyday communication. A grammar that fails to parse "Good to merge?" in context cannot parse native English speakers' actual output.

    Schoolbook English is not native English, because it's not how native English speakers actually speak. Schoolbook English contains rules that directly contradict native English speakers' everyday usage.

    (Standard examples include the rule against split infinitives and the rule against ending a sentence with a preposition. These are not grammatical rules of English as it is spoken by native speakers. To boldly assert them is silliness up with which I will not put.)

  • The guideline (as applied) contains a contradiction, so the principle of explosion applies.

    Specifically, there is a contradiction between "native-sounding English" and "no grammatical errors", when the latter phrase is interpreted in the manner seen here. Native speakers quite often use sentence fragments and in other ways do not follow schoolbook "proper grammar". In fact, second-language learners often use schoolbook grammar where a native speaker would use a more relaxed register.

    Since the guideline contains a contradiction, it is either impossible to follow (i.e. forbids all communication whatsoever) or impossible to violate (i.e. forbids no communication).

  • Democrats try a new tone: Less scripted, more cursing, Trumpier insults

    Jump

  • Good idea: make accusations in plain language. "Trump is corrupt and steals taxpayer money." "Republican policies hurt Americans with jobs." "Voting for assholes gets you shat on."

    Bad idea: make shit up. "Trump eats babies." "Republicans summon Satan in their basements." "Vote for me and I'll cure your cancer tomorrow."

    No, they were not ordered to serve out their sentence in a cartel-run ranch.

    They were sentenced for their participation in running the ranch.

  • What are you trying to accomplish?

    Are you trying to save human lives? Reduce suffering? Reduce some specific harm, such as from pandemics, or from severe weather due to climate change, or from trampling by elephant? Cure the specific disease that killed your great-aunt? Stomp Nazis?

    If you say what you think is worth doing, people can point you to specific groups that are doing it.

  • What is a story in a song that would make a good movie?

    Jump

  • Harry Chapin's "What Made America Famous?" got an unsuccessful musical, but never a film. In a modern update, the song's "hippies" are instead gutter punks squatting an abandoned building, and the fat plumber is the one non-MAGA in the town's volunteer fire department.

  • Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • Some people who voted for Trump have repented and joined the movement for democracy in America.

    But also, there are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2024 elections and a nontrivial possibility that Trump didn't win the election.

  • If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe

    Jump

  • Christian tradition teaches that we are the hands of God; that God gets things done in the world through the instrumentality of human action. When you do an act of kindness for your neighbor, you are instantiating God's kindness; when you defend your neighbor from harm or oppression, you are instantiating God's protection.

    One of the big differences between Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideology of nonviolence and Mahatma Gandhi's ideology of nonviolence is that King accepted self-defense while Gandhi rejected it. Dr. King carried a pistol in his early career, and was later defended by armed bodyguards; while Gandhi rejected armed protection and called for oppressed people to surrender to their oppressors. So empirically, rejection of self-defense is less Christian and more Hindu.
