Saidit's 'free speech' is under attack from the new admin, who is of course a tranny. Check the moderation logs and see individual user posts to see what is being removed and ask yourself "is this level of censorship in line with saidit's rules, or are they serving a personal agenda'.

So you think he's just a glutton for punishment with a penchant for polite troll-esque discussions, like a mere hobby. Tis but a proclivity for an intellectual challenge and a dalliance with debate.

Well, he's not just here for a challenge. He's here propagating dangerous misinformation and propping up the mafia establishment in one of the few places where people can seek-truth, mostly uncensored.

Paid or not, ignorant or not, he's still shilling for the enemy.

LOL. Close. Too bright. It's still dark here, can't sleep, he's fatter, older, and so is his computer, but the expression is similar, minus the hair.

I hope you don't still use a CRT, those are awful on your eyes.

I had one when I moved here 9.5 years ago that I bought in 2003. It was "huge" back then, 22" 1600x1200, part of a pair to animate at home with. At some point I tried using it with my laptop, but the degauss didn't work anymore or whatever. I can't recall what I did with it after it was a solid heavy "table" for my cat's nest. Those days are a fog.

Why don't they make square monitors? IMO better in many cases.

I know well what aspect ratios are. I used to animate for broadcast NTSC, PAL, DVD, and film, interlaced and not, including the .9 CRT pixels - all before HD came along.

I'm just talking about graphic design and some PC apps would work better with a square monitor rather than a wide or tall screen.

I figured you would. Don't they make it obvious why square monitors aren't used? When you have to fit a rectangle inside a square you lose a lot of room.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Doesn't matter what the shape, I'd use it to the max. Square, widescreen, ultra-widescreen, etc.

Ultimately I'd guess it's about demand. Square monitors would be just as good for tiling too, for large theatrical spaces - though with lockdown there's not much demand for clubs and such.

Dude.... When you have to fit a rectangle inside a square you lose a lot of room. You make your display smaller. Thus a square aspect ratio is not desirable when it would force content with different aspect ratios smaller and shittier.

I log in, early morning. Think "Great, messages to read! Ahhh fuck, it's this again."

Ironleft astroturfed where I posted this for the embed. So now a lot of people probably think I'm calling you a shill now too.

Nah - I think Fred sums up the image rather well, and the grumpy face says it all - and anyone reading the popular Saidit posts will get it.

So you think he's just a glutton for punishment with a penchant for polite troll-esque discussions, like a mere hobby.

I'd hardly call it punishment. Maybe you come away with the same beliefs as you did before, but that doesn't make the other person feel beaten. In most of the conversations I've had on here where there has been disagreement, I certainly didn't feel like I was being beaten down by some superior mind. Just because the other guy didn't agree that CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas, doesn't mean I feel beaten. You just realize after hanging out on here a while that people cling to their beliefs, and it doesn't matter how good of a case you make. I can cite all the science I want, ChristianMusic is still gonna say the earth is 10,000 years old.

Unproductive debates should best be avoided, but when on saidit they're usually mixed in with more interesting conversations, so it's worth staying.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I know. I agree.

And I can agree to disagree. And I can think that more than one view can be valid at the same time. And I can be corrected and learn. There are many potential outcomes.

Or I can find that brainwashed or intentionally the guy is shilling for mafia authoritarianism and dangerous vaccines, pretending to have discourse of discovery while ignoring all evidence presented to the contrary to continue shilling harm and being a timesuck.
