#Category(Default)
Does Thune fall into the "could be worse" category by default since Scott clearly owned "worse?"

Tracks with what I have thought for a while that polling respondents default to “economy” if discontent doesn’t fit nicely into a category that is being polled

They keep saying smart Dems can’t just be against trump they have to tell the voters who they are. Being against high prices isn’t by default the latter category

Conservatives claim critical race theory is confusing but they sure are devoted to seeing the white male as the "unmarked default" human category.
I got a tip that the Defense Intelligence Agency removed several non-white history pieces from its museum, and put an exhibit honoring women at the agency into storage.

A DIA spokesperson confirms they yanked 3 "DEI" items from their museum. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

yeah there are some things like this where enough people in the know seem completely aligned, and my default assumption is that most stuff falls in the “ton of damage” category

but it sure would be nice to get detailed reporting
Well, as I actually know something about it, the NIH study groups shutdown is in the "ton of damage" category. It will eviscerate American science if it isn't reversed soon.

Transmog categories for "Sheath on Back / Side", "Hide While Sheathed", and "Default Sheathing"
can we... maybe not have backpacks hide weapons automatically now...? and just choose to hide it while sheathed ourselves? #⛏️

Check muddycolors.com there should be several articles about it in there, though it may take some searching

@kenwhite.bsky.social I'm guessing that this falls in the "good for PR, very unlikely to succeed" category, with a small chance of success b/c DoJ could always royally fuck it up so badly (ie by not raising defenses or by getting a default judgment via pure idiocy) that even SCOTUS won't save them.

“Adult” does not by default mean sexual.
“Adult” does not by default mean alcohol.
It is just an age category.

Since we know the bsky team engages with feedback, I also wrote to them abt why "explicit" content should default to a visible warning label like the "suggestive" category instead of scrubbing it completely from the feed-- as long as the user has input their adult bday.

If you care about this, 1/3

I think Elaris fits in the "elves pretty by default" category? 🤔

Everyone talks about how handsome their WoLs are, but how attractive are they in canon?

this was so strong a default that 'hangs out with trans people' was a pretty solid first-order indication someone had gender shit going on; the grungler was not a coherent category in the 2000s

Twitch will soon test Category-Wide Promotions, which will allow advertisers to offer Bonus Subs across an entire category.

In most cases, it will be Gift X Subs, Get Y Bonus Subs.

Creators will be opted in by default, but can opt out.

But yeah, we talk about "does the Bill of Rights apply overseas?" but it's a category error, as though the default background state is one of absolute power for the United States federal government

It's a problem! Madison wasn't altogether wrong about the dangers of enumerating rights!

His default is crime

War crime is just another category

heterosexual men do not constitute the default mode by which all other existence in a distortion, nor do human beings exist in a neat taxonomy of eternal category. actually, multiplicity makes no default an infinity

basically the key flaw was the idea that there is a pre-ideological, prediscursive, prelapsarian "woman" "man" "body" "female sexuality" "sexuality in total" to Return to, a Natural essence that has been Corrupted by modernity. nope - it's construction all the way down. we gotta build the future

Of course not. The men's sports is the "default" for anyone who isn't a woman category. They'll explain that away by saying it's because men are better at sports, ignoring sports where the opposite is true.

Russia is in column 2 of the HTS which puts it along with North Korea, Belarus, and Cuba where all products are already hit with between 33%-200% tariffs by default. They're already in the category of the most tariffed nations behind China.

A category error that there is less of in UK debate now but still pops up occasionally as relic of 2010s Brexit debate is the claim that European integration is by default a liberal project

In reality EU resilience rests on how aspects of it have an appeal to every part of the ideological spectrum

I'm confused I assumed sundering titan would go into the MLD category and become bracket 4 by default. Am I missing something about the definition of MLD?

Wow... self described "not default anti-AI" users (below OP) already deploying NRA inspired arguments ala "AI doesn't kill people, people kill people"

Why do certain people fall for corporate interests' false dichotomies & category errors? Simplified world models are appealing but this isn't it.

unfortunately millennials have become a category of ppl that are default bourgeois regardless of actual financial status, same as women
July 18, 2026 at 9:22 AM
by saying that “americans came together,” you exclude those of us who were terrorized from the category “american.” again. much like we were excluded back then.

i’m as american as you, senator. and i need electeds who don’t default to exclusion in order to present a rosy, inaccurate perspective.

limfs are my least favorite category of person, mostly because their default mode appears to be trying to make sure the rest of us keep being dragged down to their level. opinion columns are filled with limfs.
