Linus Torvalds expressed frustration over the use of passive voice in merge commit messages, preferring active and imperative language instead.

men are the primary perpetrators

the number of women who do it is such a small percentage as to be almost statistically insignificant compared to the number of men who do.

Men commit sexual assault every single day

barely 5% of them get prosecuted for it.

Listen, it's very obvious we're not on the same page. You're responding to a comment thread that contains a comment literally contradicting most of your points, and you're not being rational about it. You're spouting wild claims with little regard for backing them up - it's as if în your head, they're axioms and not only do they not require proof, but invalidating them would mean the rest of the world crumbles. And I'm sure for you, that's true.

All things considered, continuing this "discussion" brings no value to either of us. Have a good one.

Thread has a photo of a sign saying "not all men but always a man".

Bringing up the statistic of female perpetrators is simply a way of deflecting the responsibility of

No. Bringing up the statistic is a way of correcting an intentionally skewed view that is vilifying men for no fucking reason. If you're gonna be a dick about things, don't go crying when you get shafted.

Humor? Your idea of a joke is adding text to a photo. You're not funny, your jokes stink, you have two left hands, nobody read your self-righteous rant.

Actual comedians are out there grinding on the daily, going to clubs and bombing, thinking about their act a million times a day, tryna work out timing and intonation and how best to fit the punchline in the sentence structure, how to reduce filler, all this weird shit that has never once crossed your mind because why would it, you're not a comedian. And that's a shit joke, because it's not ingrained in you (or OP) how to make a good joke. Nobody's getting offended here, it just wasn't funny - or idk, maybe you're projecting and you got offended when people weren't laughing at a poorly made meme, so you responded with your own poorly made meme?

Let's face it, this entire thread has not illicited even a smile, let alone laughs. Memes are great for scrolling, but let's not confuse them with jokes.

Idk if you were around when Google popped up, but it was at a time where the internet was feeling increasingly "loaded" with thousands of info per page. One where the popular engines tried to serve you twenty different things along with your search. Here's an example:

Or another:

This isn't a search engine. This is an all you can eat buffet, where the smallest plate is two main courses and three sides. And users just wanted a candy bar.

So you see, a lot of us started to use Google because it was simple. It was decluttered. It was a text input with a 'submit' button, and that's all we wanted. THAT is, and was, google's core functionality, and I think it'd do them well to remember that.

Now, if you wanna argue that's changed, I can agree to that. But I don't want morning news when I search for porn, that's just gonna kill my boner. And I don't want ads about coffee makers when I've just bought a coffee maker, that just means you're incompetent. I want a search engine that searches things and provides results. That's it. And just like Google caught momentum because they delivered this minimalistic facade that the users wanted, this is also how Google will die - at the hands of the next lightweight engine without corporate bullshit. Because the users will gobble it up.

Nah man. I'll rephrase:

Drivers are self-centered because:

  • they are one of the leading causes of death, and they convinced the world their convenience is worth it
  • they believe that they literally know better than AI and are better suited to have power over life and death
  • they're out here tryna say passengers of AI cars should sign up to die automatically, when drivers are actually the ones who are today responsible for all deaths by car

I made it easier to understand, hope it helps.

This will never be the case. Because nobody will buy an overpriced "yo, if there's ever any doubt about, like, anything - just put a bullet in my head" machine. So nobody will sell it.

Face it - you have the same thousands of pounds of metal today, and you're the only one making decisions. You (drivers, as a community) have killed before, for selfish reasons: because you don't want to die is the least selfish of them. Other hits include "didn't wanna not get drunk with the homies", "I really needed to answer that text" and "I have 10 minutes till home but the game starts in 5, it's my favorite team, I can make it". And you somehow seem to want non-drivers (passengers of AI cars) to have the same expectation that they will be a victim even when they get a car?

Drivers are so self-centered it's goddamn ridiculous.

If I were on the verge of running a monopoly, I'd be spending my money on making anything that the competition is making, along with my usual product. Because if you let them run with it and it turns out to be the next big thing, you've just shot yourself in the leg. Microsoft is no longer just an OS maker. Google is no longer just a search engine company. Amazon is no longer a bookstore.

Diversify your assets.
