If the story of the garden of Eden is anything to go by I’d say that the creator definitely both made those things and very clearly instructed us not to use them. Either way if logic itself is evil then any logical argument cannot possibly apply to a purely good being.

Of course I’m in camp snake, I’m just playing divinity’s advocate.

Or logic is a blasphemy against god.

If you think it has potential I’d say give the LNs a try.

At this stage you’ll stand a better chance of enjoying the story by reading the LNs. So far the anime is mostly leaving stuff out without adding much to compensate. I’m only sticking around in the hopes production quality somehow picks up again.

Edit: The manga could also be worth a try, the art is a lot better.

Yeah it’s not a good adaptation. The MC’s motivations come across a lot better in the LNs.

And yeah those shadows are freaking weird.

Huh mangakas must be paid better than I thought.

Also a reminder that accepting an alternative tracking method is likely to just end up with 2 different ways to track you rather than one slightly less invasive one.

They definitely didn’t just stop tracking you because this option exists.

Cookies are a non-issue. They store data only locally and can be edited and removed at will. With third party isolation on by default there’s really no reason to worry about them much anymore. And if you do just install cookie auto-delete to clean things up.

This variant is definitely worse because the data is no longer just local.

It’s kind of neat you can launch a version of Visual Studio code by pressing ‘.’ though.

Still not sure why, especially given that it’s pretty much impossible to find out that you can even do that.

I am, no worries.

Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

Put simply you just give every candidate points out of 10 and then elect the one with the highest average.

Approval voting (not acceptance, my mistake), simplifies things a bit by only allowing none or all points. Which is the best if you want to vote tactically anyway.

This method sidesteps a couple of the issues that Arrow’s impossibility theorem raises, and is easy enough to understand. Ranked choice is better than first past the post but still has the issue that adding an additional candidate can affect the end result in complex ways.

With approval voting most aspects are easy to understand. Adding or removing candidates trivially has no effect on the rest of the result. And while you can still vote tactically the only real tactic is where you put your cutoff, you should still vote for the option(s) you like best.

Why not acceptance/range voting?

Not much you can do about institutions you have no control over, but surely you could go to a different bank?

Assuming there is a bank that doesn’t use this of course.
