@kieran_nelligan @TomThomasTM @CHRISF0GLE The rights aren't against other random people, they're against the government.
Rights are things the government isn't allowed to infringe

@TomThomasTM @CHRISF0GLE Property depends on somebody enforcing the right to keep your property, why would somebody want to stop other people from stealing your stuff for nothing? Life as well, if somebody kills you it takes other people's labor to derive justice for you. Religion and speech too
English
What IS a human right, by this logic? Not food, water, or shelter, at least in modern-day society. Seriously, what doesn’t require the labor of others?

@CHRISF0GLE Freedom of Speech requires no labour, freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion etc..
Human Rights are all things you'd have if you were completely alone on a desert island.

@JakeH1313 @FreeTalkLive @LPNational The sixth amendment does not guarantee that the government will pay for a lawyer if you can't afford one. That particular interpretation of the 6th amendment didn't come about until the 1960s.
English
@FreeTalkLive What about the right to an attorney in the event you are arrested?
English
@FreeTalkLive It doesn't say human right, it says Basic Right.
A Basic Right has a formal definition in the EU Charter and is very different than a Human Right

@notdotray @doctorbattle Again, I think you're kind of saying "you don't need a very large amount of strength" I think yeah, you're subsetting your median population at people already in the top 10% of athletic ability
English
@EnderSword @doctorbattle Yeah honestly I'm probably thinking more so your average young male. And I stand by not needing strength, but under the stipulation that you have decent swing form which most don't.
English
Genuine question, is it still zero if I'm not relying on my reaction time and skill, and instead just take a confident swing perhaps a bit earlier than I think? I reckon it's zero when you're trying to hit on reaction, but relying on luck, maybe?
Jordan Moore@iJordanMoore
It’s so funny when people ask a normal everyday person — “if you had 100 at bats in the majors, how many hits would you get?” The answer is zero.
English
@stopeatingfaces @worldhockeyrpt I mean, your ability to weigh in on it is already gone since you said 'let her be an AGM first' and didn't know she IS an AGM.
And then to further destroy that, the most popular GMs paths are from Player Development and Player Personnel.
It's ok for you to just not know
English
@EnderSword @worldhockeyrpt Yes but primarily in the area of player development. The role of GM has a much larger scope that I'm not sure she's been in front of, even as coached. Ultimately if they feel she's a potential leader she should be groomed as such and I don't that opportunity has been presented.

Should the Leafs hire Haley Wickenheiser as their next General Manager?

@kareem_carr Economics study with data is usually pretty good.
But many economics experiments are just dumb.. "we wanted to track oil prices, so we gave 50 participants 3 hersheys kisses..."
English
The findings suggest that Psychology research, despite it's bad reputation, is overall more robust than Economics, which is often put forward as the gold standard of social science research.
English
This new study in Nature is kind of a bombshell.
The takeaway seems to be that you should trust Psych research more than Economics!

@157Conspiracy @scottlindsay88 @Math_files Nah, they're obsessed with Units, Tens, 100s.. the idea of rounding to a 5 is against their ethos
English
@scottlindsay88 @Math_files Presumably, if the student hade done that, it would have also been correct.
English
@Math_files Math professor here.
Looks like the student got punished for being better at math than the teacher expected.
The question doesn't ask to estimate. It asks if 75 is a reasonable answer.
In any case, here's how I would estimate the difference:
28 ≈ 25
103 ≈ 100
100 - 25 = 75
English
@notdotray @doctorbattle a 'Soft line drive' won't be a hit, and a hit over the infield requires some strength.
You're overestimating an average person, they'll be over 6 seconds to run to 1st base, anything infield in an out.
English
@EnderSword @doctorbattle Brother if you put the barrel on it you can easily get lucky with a soft line drive or Texas leaguer over the infield. This is coming from experience
English
@notdotray @doctorbattle You do yeah, but dumb comment, really great.
English
@EnderSword @doctorbattle You absolutely do not need strength. Rest, yeah you right
English
@AlayeDoreen @danielle_liat @afaris1978 @TheOmniLiberal No, Human rights are not something enforced. All human rights are things forbidden to be removed.
You have Freedom of Speech for instance just naturally. If you were alone on an island you have freedom of speech.
The govt is forbidden to use labour to remove that right
English
@danielle_liat @afaris1978 @EnderSword @TheOmniLiberal Ok but how are human rights enforced if not through the labor of others? The right to life, freedom, equality etc are all enforced by people through their labor.
English
Should you not have a right to an attorney for criminal matters?
Bojan Tunguz@tunguz
Something that requires someone else’s labor can’t be a right.
English
@danielle_liat @afaris1978 @AlayeDoreen @TheOmniLiberal I think the key is a 'Basic Right' under the EU Charter is what we'd call a civil right, they apply to cases where EU law is applicable.
So this particular example in the picture isn't a 'Human right'
English
@afaris1978 @AlayeDoreen @EnderSword @TheOmniLiberal The argument I’m trying to make is that human rights can’t require the time and labor of others. Not rights in general.
English
@aidanprattewart @morallawwithin More specifically they're allowing the human race to starve to death by refusing to harm either animals or plants for the purpose of food, and they're eat dead human bodies, but know it's not sufficient to keep people alive.
English
@morallawwithin I haven’t seen whatever this is, but I assumed the people discussed were (in fact) killing people, while not killing ants, and the writers did a minor fuck up and should have written “Isn’t it evil to value a man less than an ant?” which seems at least not absurd
English
This was a really stupid line tbh and I don’t know if the writers wanted it to seem wise. “You have to KILL the lesser beings in order to show your value for humans.”
Rothmus 🏴@Rothmus
English
@morallawwithin @aGuyOnMyPhone How so? That's the situation in the show, so the writers were referring to that.
English
@aGuyOnMyPhone You might notice that that is a *different* criticism than the one I was responding to
English
@jijorafa @leon_daboi @morallawwithin @waldenpod It kind of does, but more specifically it's a direct correlation to his comment, they are valuing the life of animals and even plants about human life. So yes, that sort of does make them evil.
English
“You wouldn’t kill your mother. You also wouldn’t kill your pet cat. Therefore you value them equally” wow incredibly wise thank you sir
Rothmus 🏴@Rothmus
English
@waldenpod But in the narrative of the show, they won't kill an animal to save the lives of people either.
They actually won't even harvest plants to save lives, in the show they're planning to let the population starve to death.
English
@Rielly2Jupiter @worldhockeyrpt AGM Of Player Development often is the step before someone becoming a GM, it's usually either Player Development or Player Personnel.
English
@worldhockeyrpt Her AGM role isn't even close to being the step before a GM
