    It’s hilarious too since one of the plotlines in the damn story is “Nobody listened to Frieren when she said monsters are only out to manipulate you with your words again” so it’s crazy to miss the fact that the story very strongly proves monsters are NOT intended to be at all likable or deserving of empathy.




  • Probably depends on the kid. In the right house with the right mindset I bet parents could use first names. Otherwise it will probably be a special word to all of them, maybe something the kid calls them one day that sticks.

    Maybe the parents will look to the internet or peers for answers and get stuff like “guardian” “my other parent” etc but ultimately the real question you should ask is how a child addresses their two same-gendered parents, maybe there’s something to contexutalize there.

    If you suppose a multiple choice test MUST ONLY have one correct answer:

    1. Eliminate duplicate 25% answers

    2. You are left with 60% and 50% as potential answers to this question.

    3. C is the answer

    If you were to actually select an answer at random to this question while believing the above, you would have a 50% chance of answering 25%.

    It is obvious to postulate that: for all multiple choice questions with no duplicate answers, there is a 25% chance of selecting the correct answer.

    However as you can see, in order to integrate the answer being C with the question itself, we have to destroy the constraints of the solution and treat the duplicate 25% answers as one sum correct answer.

    Do you choose to see the multiple choice answer space as an expression of the infinite space of potential free form answers? Was the answer to the question itself an expression of multiple choice probability or was it the answer from the free form answer space condensed into the multiple choice answer space?

    The question demonstrates arriving at different answers between inductive and deductive reasoning. The answer depends on whether we are taking the answers and working backwards or taking the question and working forwards. The question itself forces the inductive reasoning strategy to falter at the duplicate answers, leading to deductive reasoning being the remaining strategy. Some may choose to say “there is no answer” in the presence of needing to answer a question that only has an answer because we are forced to pick one option, and otherwise would be invalid. Some may choose to point out it is obviously a paradox.



  • For anyone who can’t read that many words at once: URI means identifier and URL means locator.

    Matrix does not mix the roles of its URIs beyond the ability to attempt to reach that homeserver through NOT ONLY DNS but also through routing between homeservers. Matrix, unlike this garbage, actually wants to support ephemeral homeservers and such as well.

    Sadly these web technology fucks cannot get their heads even a centimeter further towards the exit of their anus to even risk beginning to care about how garbage their architectures are.


  • Matrix was influenced by the traditional URI schema approach however they also used an inverted URI to have the most significant segment be the first segmont. This is why it has a prepended segment followed by a : and then a URL.

    The relationship the URI is describing is homeserver owns user and traditionally we might go homeserver:user I’d argue it is obvious to just invert that into user:homeserver. See Java, dotnet, etc reverse dns naming conventions.

    A matrix room is not at a URI, it is on every homeserver that participates in the room. I am not talking about Lemmy and its garbage entirely incorrectly semantic URI scheme. Matrix rooms are globally uniquely identified, and so the room URI only describes the idea of the resource of the room. room:homeserver.

    The prefixes are an obvious and neccesary evil for parsing them out of unstructured text. A requirement for most users.

    ActivityPub and related went “fuck everything, fuck reason, the web is fucking amazing” and came up with their own flavor of stupidity. Emails use an ancient first attempt at a URL. A URL. What does the URL do? It is explicitly intended to tell you which server to contact. People are going “yeah but email!1!!” entirely moronically ignoring historical context.
