If it works with Proton, I might check it out after it is released, but it's not enough for me to invest in the kickstarter.

It's scary because I used google fonts for django, wordpress, and regular html websites. This also implies any php plugins could theoretically could cause a site to violate the law, even if it's just to support a basic function, not provide ads. Even if GDPR doesn't mind, your visitors might, since...

That reminds me, I'm due for my fourth jab. Got mine two days ago.

I think you can deconstruct virtually all news as being just edge cases. People who die from COVID? Edge cases. Subway shooter? Barely anyone in New York was shot. Russia invading Ukraine? Why aren't we talking more about the countries that Russia hasn't invaded?

That's true, but I suppose if consciousness is so easy to arise, then in some sense that makes this universe even more lucky to have atoms since we didn't even need them in the first place.

I want to respond to one comment quickly that I don't think will be too controversial, and then I will summarize where I am.

How can science be done as easily if cause and effect do not exist?

Re: Evolution
In any case, you are throwing a lot of time in the mix, so why can't something like this happen at a larger scale given that much time and the sheer number of events occuring? It's not a priori impossible, but I think it would be practically impossible for this reason: although I cannot personally ...
Re: Evolution
Let me put it this way: Your 'edge cases', such as the skunk example, should be happening with high frequency. They should be so normal that you can't call them edge cases. It's an edge case in that it is exactly what you were asking for -- a species on the edge of another family, not an edge case ...
Re: Evolution
If there's only edge cases, then it shows the theory is non-comprehensive. I'm saying the lines should be blurred a lot more frequently. Weren't you asking for edge cases? I asked if you could be "clear what are the exact criteria for the example you're looking for", and your response is ...
Re: Evolution
Given the sheer improbabilities and impossibilities involved, it makes far more sense, and takes a lot less faith, to believe something else is responsible for life. No, because, even by your own metric, your theory is worse. You seem to have trouble imagining how, given enough time, somewhere in t...

Also how would you tell if some species is in a transitional state? Every species is in a transitional state unless it is extinct. Where are the things we can't tell what family it's in?

I don't know if this is the best argument, since it would have been easy for a more quick-witted antivaxer to argue that STDs aren't a great analogy here and show some statistics on how, unlike many STDs, almost everyone clears COVID with zero lasting consequences to themselves.

Re: Are you a moral person
China is corrupt as hell. The imminent downfall of the Chinese economy has been predicted for decades now. It's always just right about to happen. I'm sure it will some day hit a recession, like any economy, but these predictions of imminent downfall typically come from those who want to see it fall.
