If you’re going to motte and Bailey, try not to do it in one conversation. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So a bunch of mental gymnastics later, we have two groups: those who consent to authority, and those who comply with authority because of the threat or application of violence.
“allow” as in permit or not address… Obviously no structure is 100% successful at eliminating opposition, but without the monopoly of violence any government becomes usurped by another body that is willing to exert force.
What “anarchistic structure” has derived authority exclusively through consent, and done so without allowing other violent power structures to form?
Show me literally one ever.
Any government relies on a monopoly of violence, because some minority will not consent to rule. Lenient systems will settle towards “don’t kill, cook, and eat your neighbors,” some will settle towards total subjugation of their constituents.
If not prevented with violence, new violent power structures will form spontaneously.
I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to reveal this spoiler.
No system can achieve consensus consent of the governed. All governments maintain authority through a monopoly on violence.
I cast 5th level numeracy on the goblins, integrating them by parts.
For clarity: this is based on piaac test results. The literacy test results are sorted into 6 categories (1-5 and <1) for comparing the distribution internationally. 54% of Americans score less than 3, compared to top-scoring Japan and top-english-speaking Australia at approximately 35% and 45%. The task description for level 3:
Adults at Level 3 are able to construct meaning across larger chunks of text or perform multi-step operations in order to identify and formulate responses. They can identify, interpret or evaluate one or more pieces of information, often employing varying levels of inferencing. They can combine various processes (accessing, understanding and evaluating) if required by the task . Adults at this level can compare and evaluate multiple pieces of information from the text(s) based on their relevance or credibility. Texts at this level are often dense or lengthy, including continuous, noncontinuous, mixed. Information may be distributed across multiple pages, sometimes arising from multiple sources that provide discrepant information. Understanding rhetorical structures and text signals becomes more central to successfully completing tasks, especially when dealing with complex digital texts that require navigation. The texts may include specific, possibly unfamiliar vocabulary and argumentative structures. Competing information is often present and sometimes salient, though no more than the target information. Tasks require the respondent to identify, interpret, or evaluate one or more pieces of information, and often require varying levels of inferencing. Tasks at Level 3 also often demand that the respondent disregard irrelevant or inappropriate text content to answer accurately. The most complex tasks at this level include lengthy or complex questions requiring the identification of multiple criteria, without clear guidance regarding what has to be done
I could not find which source originally cited level 2 as “6th grade” equivalent, though the oecd recommends against drawing that parallel.
Organs don’t keep… If they got the donor it probably meant there wasn’t anybody else queued up.
Thought you were just shitposting with that name…
Now I just wish you were.
“bigots reject what they’re unfamiliar with, and if I’m honest, it’ll probably end up happening to me too”
Is about as far from the one joke as you can get.
Other than diagramming, the simple answer is that by asking what the other would say, you’re basically asking one to ask the other.
Because the answer is “passing through” both when you ask, it’s negated once (by the one liar), regardless of who is “answering” first.
Which does not preclude him also eating 1/6 each of Martha’s, Denise’s, and Sam’s pizzas.
Not true. Marty could have also eaten pizza that was not his.
Clearly talking about fogs. And i’d say it’s pretty fair, as they tend to censor everything around them.
Lemmy needs to distinguish itself with character-level voting. Somebody made a great post but unironically used an interrobang? Hit 'em right in the analytics.
