  • 07:5007:50, 21 September 2024 diff hist +867 N Ablative Error Created page with "An Ablative Error is something you intentionally introduce so that it can be fixed by a process or person who needs to fix things irrespective of whether they need fixes. By providing a simple and weak target, you allow them to fulfill their inner urge while not damaging the thing that needs to be built. People with authority do not have to employ this technique since they can simply reject 'fixes'. People without are frequently governed in large organizations by th..."

Democratic Party policies seem patently insane - eit..."

Going practically anywhere is an exercise in paperwork. Some places are easy, like Hong Kong (which just needs an instant online application), some places are easy if you've got a US visa (like most of South America), and some places are hard (like the Schengen zone). For much of my life I've had a Schengen visa since either my parents applied for me to visit as a child..."

Ghosts and stuff like that. And to some extent I believed in their existence. There was no evidence of their existence, of course, which made them all the more alluring. If I could prove that they existed, I would have won a big battle for us all. A key discovery would have been made. So, even though I was scared running into a room as a 11-year-old I would have the "there's a ghost here" li..."

People talk about addictive things like they're an immutable property of the world. Cigarettes are addictive. Opioids are addictive. But clearly this cannot be that simple.
