You’re not my audience,
That's a good point and I work to this principle myself. So my observation was pretty redundant, yes.
I already know you’re anchored in your convictions
To the extent you know anything about me, I also "know" that your own convictions are just as unmovable.
Looked at another way, it's a good thing to have convictions.
Not reasonable because you’re making a broad generalization
Generalizations are broad by nature, that does not mean they have no value.
But in reality the majority of people who oppose immigration also oppose LGBT+ and freedom of religion so it’s unlikely they’ll use this argument.
Can't speak for the USA but that is absolutely not the case in Europe.
Otherwise you make some decent points. In any case, IMO discussions like this would benefit if we accepted from the outset that nobody is going to be convincing others to change their opinions. The best that can be hoped for is to understand the opposing side better. That would be an achievement in itself.
These sources don't prove anything. This is about values. If you want to convince people who are not already on your side then you need to begin there.
That's a specific case that doesn't falsify my claim that most people in this discussion, here, are inflating away the meaning of the word Nazi so that it equates to, roughly, "somebody I don't like who is to the right of me politically".
This precise argument can also be made to justify a tightening on immigration from countries where religious intolerance is the cultural norm, on the grounds that "if you allow [them] to spread their ideology eventually there will be enough [of them] to be able to take the power by force, and when they do they’ll setback all of the tolerance that was advanced". Reasonable?
Would be interested in an intelligent rebuttal to this seemingly decent argument, if anyone has one.
I’m sure Ferrero understands what their target audience is for this and have accounted for the extremely close-minded omni demographic
Difficult to argue with that.
Another option: encrypt a sparse file rather than a disk volume. Mount the file to local filesystem and open and close it there.
How would this be alienating to someone who’s not vegan would otherwise try it as a vegan alternative?
The honest answer might be that the V-word is just off-putting to quite a few omnivores.
it feels like you’re overgeneralizing your own niche experience onto everyone else
To be fair, this is a forum where people express opinions, and opinions tend to be based on personal experience.
In this case I agree with them. In northern Europe at least, there are already vegan Nutella clones that are widely available and tastier than Nutella (which is tasty). For instance Nocciolata, which has a "dairy free" variant, i.e. vegan. Very delicious indeed but also quite expensive.
Fair enough!
So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?
Personally I would suggest never recording video. We did fine without it for aeons and photos are plenty good enough. If you can still to this rule you will never have a single problem of bandwidth or storage ever again. Of course I understand that this is an outrageous and unthinkable idea for many people these days, but that is my suggestion.
OK. Not sure how far that recipe gets us in practice, but it's a respectable argument.
