Well, obviously. :P

Only in FPTP systems

Well yes, you could? That’s why science gets peer reviewed. If it’s not something that can be reproduced it won’t pass. And psychology is difficult since there’s so many factors that can change, which brings back my earlier point, facts can change. :)

Plate tectonics wasn’t discovered until recently so before the 60’s, it was a fact that continents didn’t move. Then it was discovered that they do actually move, and now it’s a fact that they do.

That’s why science is peer reviewed and a different matter. You can also potentially fact check it yourself. But this is digressing from the point

Took me too long

Yes thank you, I’m aware of those. :) I meant via your own instance. I’m registered on a very small instance, and being able to discover other instances from your own would make it much more usable.

…Unless that is already possible. Lemmy isn’t that intuitive, at least for me

Isn’t it always that >95% of users are lurkers? I don’t bother logging in most of the time, I just go to lemmy.world or something and sort by all

Finding instances for sure. Just learned in this thread that sorting by ‘all’ doesn’t show me every instance

Faith and belief isn’t the same thing, no? Faith is something you have regardless of evidence.

Anyway, the difference between them are that one is evidence-based on a scientific ground, which should be the only valid evidence, while the other isn’t.

Just a guess, but no? Insults are subjective I suppose and not being able to ‘insult’ a country or it’s people would make many discussions impossible I think.

The difference is that one belief is evidence-based, and hence a fact, while the other isn’t

Which makes it a fact? Facts can change too

Censorship is definitely a sign of authoritarianism, and a strong state might be too, depending on what you mean by it, but not necessarily? And as liberal democracy seem to be the ‘goal’ of states to achieve, authoritarian is not at all a useless category since it’s the opposite of democracy.

Is this a bot post? If it isn’t, why are you so wildly misreading my comment and answer with something hilarious irrelevant?

You link to an article describing Mexico taking the authoritarian path and describes it as freeing itself from US subordination.

If this is not what is happening, why bother with this post at all, or did you just want to push authoritarians good, liberals bad?

Oh, so this will be a temporary authocracy to shed the US bonds, and then a revert to democracy and rule of law?

Or is it just a country denying the people their right to choose being applauded again since liberal democracy is somehow US imperialism?

So “independence from the US” at the cost of the peoples right to choose their own destiny? Sounds great…

I would probably sooner believe they spied on the Loch Ness monster

narrative storytelling game

Isn’t that what dnd is?

edit: I mean it is a game with a system, which itself allows parts of the system to be bypassed to pave way for the storytelling, which is the point of the game ,no?
