My indirect harm litmus test would fall along the lines of like an OSHA style philosophy of regulation, for example for any kind of ledges we generally require rigid hand railings. If someone got hurt falling off a ledge at my workplace sure I didn’t do anything to cause it, but I’d still be on the hook for their injury because I didn’t take the required steps to reasonably prevent unnecessary injury.
Was that when a bunch of libertarians flooded a town as new residents, dismantled the municipal government and ended up being overrun by bears because they didn’t lock up their garbage cans after dismantling the requirements to lock up garbage cans?
Personally I believe flip flopping and changing your mind are 2 very different things, flip flopping is making an appearance of change in response to social pressures, ie “I need to appeal to this specific group of voters” or “I’m suffering backlash for something I said” where as changing your mind is “I’ve learned something I didn’t know before and I am changing as a result”
Penn Gilette has always seemed to be driven by a level of honesty and compassion and valued the freedom to choose where to direct that compassion. I think earlier on he viewed other libertarians as having the same level of honest compassion as he does but over time it’s become more and more clear that libertarians are overwhelmingly selfish rich white guys who don’t want to be called Repuiblicans.
I mean in the early 2000s he was calling bullshit on the hysteria over the vaccine autism link saying the alternative of kids dying to preventable diseases is so much worse. He even gave the tenuous link a benefit of the doubt and accepted that even if they did cause autism,t he alternative is so much worse.
Opsec is more about the processes of confirming that you know exactly where important information is and knowing there are as few potential leaks and risks to that information getting into unintended hands. Saying you’ve got clean opsec is about confirming that you’ve gone through the proper steps to keep communications secret.
Personally I’ve called for opsec before with different friend groups when different crises have arisen and I need a group of people to help another out who’s in a bad mental state without tipping them off to things that might become dangerous.
They’re morons who don’t have a clue what they’re doing. They likely weren’t thinking.
OPSEC is Operational Security, basically they’re saying that their communication channels are secure. Plot twist, they’re not because they don’t actually know who is on their signal chat.

I’m all for accountability and yes there should have been repercussions for Hilary Clinton for using a private email server but in 2016 Republicans used the emails as a cudgel to keep scoring points and drag out investigation after investigation and hearing after hearing to keep the buttery males in the news cycle and keep constant attention on smearing her and making her seem like the incompetent evil mastermind behind benghazi and the pizza parlor and the adrenochrome.
We go high. They go low. And when they go low, they win elections.
AI bs aside, Teslas actually do fall for the roadrunner gag because they use cameras instead of lidar for navigation.
Mark Rober actually put it to the test and… well… it failed horribly.

Oh yeah I’m saying it’s technically viable, not that it’s actually any good. Also if the fish is wrapped properly then it shouldn’t be leaking fish juices onto the plates.
If it’s held at a slightly lower temp for longer it can achieve the same bacterial reduction the 145F the usda recommends, its the instant bacterial death time. Inctheory if held at temp for long enough it would be safe to eat. It’s still a stupid method but technically viable.
And it’s not even a good search engine either. It just spits out sarcastic jokes from barely up voted reddit posts.

Fun bit of additional trivia about him, he was injured, shot in the leg while serving on the American side. After his defection, there is a likely apocryphal tale where he captured some Americans and asked what would happen if the situation were reversed. He was told his leg would get full burial honors and the rest of him would be hanged for treason. Funny enough there is a memorial of a leg at Saratoga for the injury he sustained and his importance at the battles in Saratoga but has nothing mentioning his name or the rest of his body. Which honestly is a level of pettiness to aspire to.
Distinction without a difference.
Dems have absolutely been failing to be an effective political party, but good lord I’d rather have the milquetoast incompetency on democratic control of the government than this abaolute shitshow that Republicans have been running for the last… God it’s only been a month and a half since the inauguration.
Make due with the tools you have at hand.
Fuck me in the ass 'cuz I love Jesus!
To use a real world example of anarchism in action, shopping carts in a parking lot. I’m doubtful anyone has said “you have to return your shopping cart to a cart return” but the generally people do return their shopping carts. There’s also people in vests that come around and clean up the parking lot of loose shopping carts. Sometimes people might offer to pass off a cart they just finished using to someone else, or maybe even snag and extra errant cart on their way to cart return. There’s no heirarchy, no authority on high dictating the rules, just people doing their thing and generally following the rules but there is someone who is paid to make sure things get cleaned up when the inevitability of stupidity happens.
