Well, what is it then?

I hope we'll get more options in the future as well - I'm working on my own alternative at the moment :)

Ask a group of anarchists...

Well yes of course, because "anarchism" is a very broad term that covers a lot of different ideologies. Two persons that both might say they are "anarchists" could disagree on a whole lot.

Maybe you should think a bit more complexly about what anarchism is (though I'm not trying to excuse any bad behaving instances out there).

all of computer science is based on the practical

I don't understand this at all. Computer science is based on theoretical foundations that were developed way before any actual computer existed. This goes back more than 100 years.

We teach students computer science to make them into software engineers.

That's only true if you studied a very practically-oriented education. Such educations are usually called "Software engineering" rather than "Computer Science".

As a computer science graduate myself, my university definitely did not try to make me into a software engineer. It was very theoretical, with a clear focus on further research if that was what you wanted to pursue. You could get through the education quite okay and only ever write very little actual code. It was the maths that was the harder part to write.

Computer science is basically the study of software engineering

That's not at all true if you ask me. Computer science is the study of data and computation, on a theoretical level. Software engineering is not theoretical at all, but very practical.

I'm completely fine with certain content being delisted because it is considered essentially on par with hate speech or something like that.

However, I really do not like that it is payment processors making that call. If someone makes that call, it should be the store in question (itch.io, Steam, whatever) or it should be the government.

Searching Prince Andrew doesn't immediately give you the context and it's not a pointless question because others (like me) may have the same question and would like to see the answer.

People, nobody deserves being downvoted for asking some simple questions. I too am not familiar with Prince Andrew.

Yea wtf? That seems insanely low. There's no way they can keep up with all content right? At least they can only be reactionary right, like when reports are made?

I don't really see how this is a privacy thing. They're on the job, what's so private about that? Plenty of people are under video surveillance on the job.

being corrected about objective things

Language is anything but objective and is constantly evolving based on how people use it.

John Green's Religion (www.youtube.com)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I feel that atheism forums online, such as this one, can often revolve a lot around all the negative ways that religion manifests itself, in our society and in people. And that's to be expected, but today I wanted to add something a bit different.

As quite a hard atheist myself, I find John's religious point of view extremely refreshing. I wish all religious people had this kind of understanding about their own faith.

John is not convinced that his faith is correct - in fact, he seems to recognise that whether his faith is "real" or not is irrelevant. His faith is not about being correct, because that is not inherently something that faith deals with.

I find the end of the video especially moving. John can easily agree and work with his atheist brother, because ultimately they reach the same conclusions, albeit from (only slightly) different paths. I wish we spent more time thinking about all the ways that we (atheists and religious people) actually agree on how the world should move forward, and less time antagonising one another.

Perhaps you find John's point of view interesting too? :)
