Pretty pathetic, especially considering the users who insulted me got no repercussions.

Just another reason not to take mods seriously.

Edit: Apparently mental illness is a common trait among hexbear users. I hope they receive the help they need. This isn't healthy for them.

Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.

They're a "non-profit," but their CEO makes millions of dollars per year. I'd say that's a profit.

Believing otherwise is just falling for rhetoric that exists to take advantage of our naivete so people richer than us can be even richer.

Many of you will disagree with this (because you're greedy consumerists), but their employees also typically don't need to be paid nearly as much as they are. Their employees are also working to maximize profit, albeit from a different, less-effective angle.

Money brings out the worst in people. I don't really value the input of people going to bat for the businessmen taking their money. Too often I see useful idiots proud to be ripped off and getting angry whenever someone points it out. It's really the norm at this point, which is sad.

It's definitely an issue with the culture among tech companies.

They're all regurgitating each other's shit, so whenever a bad idea gets passed around, they all jump on board.

Their revenue is fine. They just waste it on unnecessary bullshit.

They're a business, after all. They don't care about their products. They care about doing the least among of work while making the most amount of money.

It's not about keeping the lights on. It's about living as luxurious a life as possible.

They will do whatever they believe will maximize profit.

 

I've been doing a lot of research into Judaism. They seem to encourage asking tough questions and taking the answers seriously, which is good.

After reading a bit of the Torah, it got me thinking, why aren't there any references to people who could not have been known to its followers at the time? No mention of East Asians or Native Americans. Did God just forget about them when he talked through Moses? Or he thought they weren't important enough to mention?

Then it got me thinking some more. What about science? Wouldn't it be effective to convince followers of legitimacy if a religion could accurately predict a scientific phenomenon before its followers have the means of discovering it? Say, "And God said, let there be bacteria! And then there was bacteria." But there is nothing like that. Anywhere, as far as I can tell. Among any religion.

I'm not a theologian and I'm always interested in learning more, so any insights would be helpful.

Edit: A lot of responses seem to be saying "people wouldn't have had a use for that knowledge at the time" seem to be parroting religious talking points without fully understanding their implications. Why would God only tell people what they would have a use for at the time? Why wouldn't he give them information that could expand the possibilities of what they were capable of? Why does it matter if people had a word for something at the time? Couldn't God just tell them new words for new things? If God was only telling them things that were relevant to them at the time, why didn't He say so? Also, how come he doesn't come back and tell us things that are relevant now, or at least mention that he isn't coming back?

 

She's being paid by our tax dollars to protect child rapists that were paid by our tax dollars.

There's no point in trying to use the system to change the system.

The more heroes we have willing to take matters into their own hands, the better. It's all we have to fight back.

She and everyone else defending this pedophile ring deserve worse than any of its victims.

It looks like the last verified contact with them has been in 2018. Recently a youtuber went there and tried to get their attention, but couldn't find them.

Is it possible they're not even still around? Maybe a disease found its way onto their island and took them out. It could have even been from the last visitor in 2018.

 

Since anyone can put anything they want on their servers, it seems like a lot of evidence could be thrown out in court cases if access to that information is not strictly monitored and audited to make sure the owners aren't removing or adding data.

Does anyone know of industry-standard practices to ensure that data on servers is not being manipulated in a way to protect or harm users?
