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.
A group of crows is a murder, and ravens are an unkindness. Smart black birds were not named with politeness.
They don’t seem like they’re the types that are savvy enough to feel like it’s a problem.

Basically. Our Overton window is fucked thanks to the Nazis in power. Both current and historical.
None of those are up for reelection next time. I’m sure that wasn’t calculated by Schumer.
At the risk of lumping myself in with bullies (I don’t leave the house enough to be one or the victim of one), there’s space between here and there. We can be sympathetic that a bully is being abused at home or some other form of unhappiness causing a behavior while also condemning it. Like stopping someone looking at their phone from walking into the street. Pull them out and also yell at them for being a moron.
Some number can, with sympathy in addition to condemnation, change their behavior. The ones that don’t were given a chance and they can eat the consequences of being a cunt.
I’m also in camp sequel, though I could be persuaded to camp squirrel.
