I always assumed that the initial cutting of the record accounts for the variation in speed as the needle moves towards the center. If that’s the case, the information density would be relatively consisten, because the size of the bits of information would get smaller as the speed increases. Like a second of the song could be measured in radians, with the centimeters on the arc getting smaller. But I don’t actually know if that’s how it works.
You don’t need to be particularly intelligent to see it. Case in point, I can see it.
Oh I see. And that’s a fair observation. Especially online, it’s become edgy and cool to take the side of a CEO assassin, while it’s still touchy to vocally defend the Castro regime. But you will find people, notably Cubans who fled to America, who were directly affected by Castro and the Cuban government. I don’t know any health insurance CEOs, so that might be a factor in the discourse you hear.
But again, it’s not like these are the same people. Support for the Cuban government isn’t a cause celebre because Fidel Castro has been dead for almost a decade, and few Americans could even tell you who the current President is. Luigi is a source of engagement, the currency of social media. Some Americans only recently learned about Venezuela because we’re about to invade their country.
Support them? Like how, with money? Votes? Attending rallies? Because no, I don’t actively support any of those countries. I do think each country has the sovereign right of self-determination, and I oppose my country’s efforts to overthrow or undermine those governments.
I also oppose authoritarian dictatorships like the DPRK and the Trump administration.
As far as Luigi is concerned, I do not condone murder, but I also don’t think he’s guilty of murder. I think the oligarchy needed to find the killer, even if they didn’t find the actual killer, and planted all the evidence against Luigi.
I’m a Western leftist, and neither of these positions represent me. I do know people who are represented by one or the other, but I don’t know anyone who is both. Are you sure you’re not just conflating the loudest voices as being from the same people?
Based on what? Twitter? Polling? And what do you mean “support Luigi”? Because while I don’t condone murder, I am not convinced he murdered anyone. I think the oligarchy is trying to make an example of him and unintentionally made him a martyr.
I’m not sure why you’d assume that these are the same person.
I’ll just put it over here with the rest of the fire.
Right? Like, figure out how to sort and fold laundry.
First one, then the other.
The difference between path and pathos is metaphorically indescribable.
Let’s remember that Conservatives want to make it harder to vote, but even when they cheat, their margin of victory is smaller than the number of voters who don’t show up. If we’re outraged enough, their skullduggery won’t matter.
Everything
I don’t know.
It was in a jam
Push it down a hill.
It is entirely possible for a person to be on the right side of one issue and the wrong side of another issue. We support positions, but we elect politicians. Those politicians are not always going to be on our side, and in fact they rarely are.
Gavin Newsom is not on our side. I do not want to vote for him, because I believe we have better options.
But he is better than any Republican. Newsom is not openly racist, defending pedophiles, attempting to murder foreigners, or trying to end civil rights. He and I disagree on economic policy, but if his name is on the ballot across from a fascist, then I’ll accept the lesser of two evils.
Still, let’s not pick him as the nominee for president. He’s not the guy we’d like him to be. Newsom is an oligarch, but at least he isn’t a Republican. Governing is the slow boring of hard boards, and sometimes progress is merely reducing the harm.

A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn’t relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? “Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?”
I don’t know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don’t get to live any dream you like.
That’s one way to look at it. On the other hand, these gravy seals are armed to the teeth and itching to fulfill a lifelong dream to “justifiably” murder somebody. If they can’t manage to arrest someone without their pants falling down, they’re just going to start blasting.
I would just think you’re trying to be funny. If you keep a deadpan face, you might succeed.

So the arc speed increases as the radius decreases, both in cutting and reading.
