Someone named "SirSoy" definitely believes both sides are equally bad.

They might have forgotten the pump part.

Just as an aside, I've noticed "moving the goalposts" is one of new favorite fallacies for people to slap around when they don't know what they're talking about.

My opinion has actually shifted as a matter of this debate. It used to be "hell no". Now it's "no, but maybe we can in the future if the science is done". It's pretty clear that there isn't much research on this, and the few peer reviewed articles on the subject tend to mention exactly how little has been done. What is there suggests that maybe, possibly, with the right diet and supplements, it could be done in the future.

Don't make your cat an experiment on this.

To steel man HOA's, they take care of common property in a similar way to condos. Anything from street lights, to the sign at the front of the cul du sac, to the playground that seems oh so much nicer than what the city ever puts in. Some even provide garbage service and maintain the streets. Municipalities have been happy to offload this burden.

Steel man off: their point is to keep black people out. The superficial niceness is so white people can say how great things work for them, even when they're only one layoff away from losing it all.

That's the kind of picture that would get you a great career in Hallmark Christmas cards.

Nobody going to admit to being the pigeon? Because that's me.

Implement a cryptographic web of trust system on top of Lemmy. People meet to exchange keys and sign them on Lemmy's system. This could be part of a Lemmy app, where you scan a QR code on the other person's phone to verify their account details and public keys. Web of trust systems have historically been cumbersome for most users. With the right UI, it doesn't have to be.

Have some kind of incentive to get verified on the web of trust system. Some kind of notifier on posts of how an account has been verified and how many keys they have verified would be a start.

Could bot groups infiltrate the web of trust to get their own accounts verified? Yes, but they can also be easily cut off when discovered.

Gaddafi was a supervillian. Almost literally:

.

It also wasn't NATO who directly killed him. His own citizens did, and they weren't kind about how they did it.

NATO also wants stable oil reserves. Both these things can be true.

And they validated this data 4 times. It's really good data.
