Tweets
An archive of my tweets and retweets through . They may be formatted slightly differently than on Twitter. API access has since gotten prohibitively expensive – I don't know whether or when I'll be able to update this archive.
But in case I will, you can subscribe via RSS – without a Twitter account. Rationale
Bill Burr has commented on democrats saying ‘Obama sucks – and I’m a democrat!’ The implication being that anyone who disagrees is being unreasonable since even a democrat thinks Obama sucks. The first sentence in your tweet has the same effect.
What's rogue about it? Sounds pretty mainstream (eg the seatbelt argument is common).
Resisting force is not “crazy” or “irrational”. Even with seatbelts we can be mistaken about their safety and coercion robs us of our ability to correct that mistake. Or one may value resisting force over safety, in which case it’s irrational not to resist.
The analogy is flawed. Seatbelt laws are bad but they’re not part of a widespread attack on civil liberties. There’s no threat of lockdowns, nobody’s turned away from the hospital for not wearing them, or fired, ostracized, or forced to close their business.

He didn't say that.
unclear what that refers to.
Only "Python developer".
he did say he's been doing it for ten years, so he said more than only python developer
@DominicCronin @Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
I've only ever heard the terms 'software developer' and 'software engineer' used synonymously.
@DominicCronin @Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
It's his profession and it's called 'software engineer', he's been doing it for ten years, he's not some script kiddie like someone wielding a spanner one afternoon.
@Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
Then you’re still an engineer, albeit a different one.

I have many criticisms of your previous tweet (twitter.com/CFallibilism/s…) but first I think you'd benefit from re-reading and analyzing the most recent tweets in this thread starting at "Are you not on the side of life?" in light of this article: curi.us/2128-question-…

Is that a 'yes' to my question?
Or, nowadays, not so simple ones. twitter.com/SJobs_Stories/…
@CFallibilism @MagnetThatcher @DavidDeutschOxf
That question is rather broad – could include animal and plant life. I take it to mean something like 'Do you not want ppl to live?', correct?
@CFallibilism
I encourage ppl not to break the law in general but to resist tyrants. Ppl should have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This woman shows courage in the face of a tyrant with overwhelming power against her; that's rare.
@CFallibilism @MagnetThatcher @DavidDeutschOxf
Correct, what's within double quotes is what the scientists said in the linked article. What's in single quotes is an imagined/scare quote by an imaginary tyrant.
(I tend to use double quotes for literal quotes only and single quotes for imagined/scare quotes.)

Coercion is also used when persuasion isn’t entertained as an option. Eg by those incompetent at persuasion (government, parents).
