Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Deadmau5 used to stream on twitch about his touring setup video system. He'd sit in his studio and craft wonders in TouchDesigner.
Fascinating to watch

I never really followed him, just not my personal style, but I remember seeing clips of those streams. It was seriously impressive. Dude seemed really in his element, and had an awesome setup all around.

Hopefully he's changed a bit since then, because he got kicked off of Twitch for making some racist comments, and he made some disparaging comments about trans women around the same time.

But even if he hasn't, a broken clock and all that.

I only know because it was circulating last night on Bluesky in regards to this comment.

Nobody knew if he still held those opinions and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt since it's been like 6+ years since then, but it's still good to keep in mind.
