  • I’m not aware of the exact motivations of all the actors. What follows are my guesses.

    My guess would be that

    • Some député want to protect children from the most dangerous types of porn (which I can hear on some level, porn can be addictive for some people and can lead to negative behaviour, children are always more sensitive).
    • Some probably think that all porn is bad and want to prevent anyone from consuming it, this would only be a first step for those.
    • Some definitely want to be able to spy on everyone and use this as an excuse to further reduce privacy and freedom

    You might not be aware depending where you are from, but France is on a slippery slope towards Fascism, the far right is gaining more power every day, a lot of people think it is very plausible that a far right president is elected on the next election (2027), along with a parliament’s majority.

    That guy got out of the cave and read the article, now he’s come back to tell us how the headline shadow of the article was a misrepresentation.

    Quick everyone, let’s all beat him to death with our downvote, because he tells us the article does not align with what we believe, he must be trying to divide us, but we know our tribe is the most important thing, let’s defend the tribe at all cost…

  • I get where this meme is coming from, but I think it’s a bad idea to remove a person’s credibility if they believe in a thing that I consider supernatural/bullshit/pseudoscience/charlatanesque.

    Firstly: a supernatural phenomenon today could be a scientific field tomorrow. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    Secondly: They could simply be ill-informed about the state of knowledge about that subject, or they had a very bizarre experience that they don’t know how to explain otherwise, or they never thought too much about it.

    They do lose credibility to me when I present facts and arguments as to why I believe it to be false, and they fail to show they can have a rational debate to explain why they think I should change my mind or understand that they could be in the wrong and acknowledge it.

    Apples are not homogenous, the underlying requirement when asking for “equal share” is that no one is dissatisfied with his/her share, or envy someone else’s share. The solution is a dynamic process :

    After explaining it clearly to everyone, hover the knife above the left of the first apple as if you were going to cut it through but without doing it, move the knife slowly to the right until one of the three participants says he is happy with that share, cut the apple at that point and that participant gets that share. Then do the same with the second apple and the remaining unserved participants. Whoever doesn’t have anything after that gets the remaining two slices.

    Since everyone “could have” spoke earlierto get a share, everyone has a share that they consider the best in their frame of reference and everyone is satisfied.

    This solution also works with more than three participants

    Edit: I just now realised the goal was to do it in a single cut
