An interesting problem: How do you discuss certain hot topics while avoiding a list of words?
It’s pretty easy for me, actually.
My comment never actually appeared there, but I like what I wrote so I’ll keep it here.

When raising a point, it’s essential for it to not have alternatives. Otherwise it doesn’t serve the argument.
This is a pretty straightforward way to dismiss essential point in many arguments for the existence of deities.
(This is only mostly-complete but could always use updating.)

Ideas aren’t real.
By default, they can’t be discerned as true or false.

I intuit crazy nuances. Sometimes bugs, sometimes just oddities. This is one of those oddities.
I polymorphed a mount. The rider stayed mounted. On the turtle.

[I suppose I could have elaborated somewhat, but I’m just not feeling it]
The past has a tendency to oppress the future.
The weight of past efforts puts unwarranted value on their topics.
Incomplete activities can be seen as an investment and are given importance. This bias exists even though we have limited time, and we view our current/future actions against a return on investment (RoI).
It is a little true that there is some investment in the past. An overall understanding of the goals can be seen as an advantage compared with un-pursued new activities.
One’s hobby needs to be the processing of past works; reviewing them for value and either identifying them as needing to be done or throwing them away. Otherwise the amount of ideas generated will become overwhelming.
Don’t be chained to nostalgia or that tradition-of-self, filled with the regrets of things not completed “yet”.

After a brief debate where a vocal majority was ignored, a new law was passed which forces all pregnancy-capable girls to become expectant mothers.
Shortly after being passed, significant backlash had the law amended to allow a child’s parent or guardian to elect for artificial insemination. The Catholic church has since moderated its support for this new law.
The pope was unavailable for comment, but a vocal devotee was quoted as saying
This isn’t quite God’s will, but it’s will have to do for now.
This was an aborted piece I had sitting around, so I thought I’d post it up. It doesn’t have a complete arc of an idea, but it’s readable.

One of the common responses to people getting pissy about software is “It’s Open Source, change it yourself” or “Open Source is about choice, find an alternative”.
These are ignorant and insulting responses.

This was written some time ago, and I’d still like to pursue it but haven’t tried to find a group that could handle this.
The idea is to form a clique of alts which level exclusively and slowly together.

Practicing on regular spine, I came up with an different way of thinking about healing which seems to have helped out significantly.
