By positing it as the reality and not just a reality that we can actually change, you're playing defense for em. You're using their talking points.
BTW You don't have to be debating the finer points of morality to be doing something immoral. Corporatists don't debate morality either. Because they know they lose, every time. Hint hint.
No that's what got us here. Profit above all else brought us where we are, it can't bring us back. Apologies for being blunt but that's a stupid thought you shared.
At this point doing something that you're unsure whether it will make things better or worse is literally a better option than just nothing. I mean really what's the worst thing that happens? The equivalent of an oil spill? Like that's ever stopped us from doing things for profit? Why should we hold ourselves to these "better be entirely certain" standards when we never held ourselves to that standard on the way here?
This is a legitimate train of thought. "This might hurt things but I'm not sure how" simply isn't good enough. Give me a reason to be afraid to use this. Cause we're not afraid of using oil yet. Fuck it let's put a bunch of iron in the oceans. Really can't hurt things any worse than we have, can it?
You sound like you're a teenager.
I thought about it.
Y'all are entitled as shit.
You and the other guy both sound like you're whining that free content isn't being catered to your every taste for you when you have every tool at your disposal to curate your own content.
Y'all are entitled as shit.
I think really you only need to get a solid punch on one kids jaw. One goes out cold, the others to into survival mode. I think the primary risk there is I might wear myself out chasing them down to mop up.
I'm gonna step back and just say this is all humorous. Don't hit kids... Unless they deserve it.
Note that the guy said if it gets peer reviewed. Many people have made many claims that would've changed the world as we know it, but until it gets repeated in controlled environments it doesn't change anything.
I think it's an achievable goal for sure. There's nothing I know of that makes room temperature anything but arbitrary so it could happen. If it did, yeah it changes a lot potentially.
But they're only each 9. Ever seen drunk dudes fighting in groups? They'd fight like that. Getting in each other's way, tripping over each other. Hell if my kid is any indication he'd just sit and play with toys the other kids left behind.
I could take about 5 at once given what I know of children, that's a reasonable limit.
They do it every time they want to keep inquiring and suspicious people distracted.
Once is an occurrence. Twice is a coincidence. Every few years for the past six decades is a pattern. Nothing ever comes of it but in the end new shit got to happen without interruption.
Like how do these people believe the government can keep aliens a secret but they won't buy that?
Edit, watch AOCs questions in that hearing. She is hot onto the point: she asks specific questions about the process and requirements for reporting phenomenon to Congress. She's doing that because this entire hearing is focused on whether grusch endured reprisals for whistleblowing. That's all they care about, that's what the House Oversight Committee does. And when she gets to the root, Grusch goes anxious, stutters, etc. But when he's talking about his claims it's highly scripted, no stutters, nothing.
Grusch is using the whistleblower protections to grandstand, AOC knows it. He's gonna be facing perjury charges within a month, bet. I'll bet even further, he's gonna flee the country and then claim the warrant they put out for him is "targeted" at him for whistleblowing. Conspiracy con artists all operate on the same script.
Imagine having the time to actually look at all that nonsense just to find out who clicked an arrow icon halfway around the world.
I don't think people really understand just how privileged it is to be here dawdling at all, given time, technology, access, etc ... nevermind dawdling maliciously over something so petty.
Then again you could easily make bots to check all that shit, do the cross referencing, and pump out a black list of folks you don't want to interact with. I can see there's a lot of use in that for moderation and administration, but as a user? Begging for problems. It won't ever create positivity to have people able to see that. I understand the protocol won't hide it, but apps can.
Edit, Wait, I'm not even sure the protocol allows for downvotes anyway, that's specific to the apps isn't it? So there's a conscious decision going on to show them? That's a miss.
