I too read that what if!

We’re all probably lucky that the only thing they are good at is hate.

I need to know that you know that that’s a Dickens line. It’s from A Christmas Carol.

Let’s not throw in autistics with this cunt. Autism does not excuse such breathtaking evil and neurodivergents in general have enough shit going on without the association.

I have one that I used to use with my PC (switched to linux and it’s a pain in the ass to do is why I stopped). I would still have to log in to start the app to hook to my PC.

This. Even coming out when people are supportive is rough to say nothing of a huge portion of the world hating you for no reason.

Also, pride is more about visibility than actual pride. About showing each other that we aren’t alone and that it’s ok to be open.

I’m also in camp sequel, though I could be persuaded to camp squirrel.

I’m curious how you’d characterize yourself then

It’s not a meaningful contribution. Judging someone in person, sure. Judging someone when you have a platform people pay attention to, yeah. Random comment on Lemmy? No one gives a shit. I fully recognize my own pointlessness in all this, especially this far down in the comments.

My mistake. I believed you to be proposing a solution to the evil proposed. Not idly judging people with no meaningful contribution toward making things better.

You seem to believe that I think it a justification for evil. I do not, people should not do such things and they are shitty people for doing them.

I’m saying that the idea of some good people doing the right thing fixing the problem is naive and doomed to failure and a real solution to the problem has to be bigger than the lazy “just no one be evil” proposition you seem into to champion.

No. That putting the onus of change on individuals is a losing proposition. The incentives have to change or no number of good people will fix it. I hear the French have had very effective solutions in the past.

It’s a big company. Someone’s going to play.

Exactly. And mine always uses it for evil when he gets it.

I love how curious they look.

You’re insisting that the frameworks some people use to understand the world are all made up (to be fair you aren’t entirely wrong). But the power of positive thinking bullshit is peddled by every grifter and their mother and is often the stick used by people who aren’t willing to acknowledge that depression isn’t all in your head.

It’s akin to saying, just go for a run and you’ll feel better. You may be right, but you are completely neglecting that medication is also useful possibly above and beyond a nice jog.

People can better themselves, but this particular category of argument ignores a lot of realities for people that need more than a pep talk.

Also, introvert and extravert are nice short hand terms for “probabilistically, I gain or lose energy from the average social outing”.

Thanks I’m cured! All my anxieties and masking and difficulties socializing from overstimulation have gone away because of your uninformed happy thoughts. Why didn’t I try that before?!

Not defending overfeeding pets. This is for people that free feed their pets and don’t want the hassle of having to measure out food at specific times because it’s inconvenient.

We struggled with that transition when our cat got a bit fat so we did automated feeders. Which cost about as much as a month of those medications…

Oh yeah. It was a shit project. Fucking nightmare.

I did a little “is shit rotting in your fridge?, also inventory” thing for senior design. It was a cursed project for a variety of reasons, but even what we did was a stretch in terms of utility.

If only we had known that the girl that came up with the idea was actively detrimental to everything she was even adjacent to

We had one live outside our house for a while and have a couple recordings of their hoots. I can’t not vote for them.
