Is this old? Is this what old feels like?

Sure? But kind of a weird interjection to make at someone saying that they don’t.

I thought I stated my opinion pretty clearly. I can do it again for you. It is disingenuous to say that everyone has a price, that’s just something people say to make themselves feel better about benefiting from compromising their morals. Everyone needs to look at themselves and their principles and make a decision based on their beliefs and their situation. But saying “if I didn’t someone else would, anyone would do the same, everyone has a price etc…” is a cop-out.

Okay? Good for you, you are a somewhat less principled person than some others. Not sure what you’re arguing about.

I’m not mad, I however think you are concocting absurd hypotheticals to make yourself feel better for some reason.

Are the corpo assassins in the room right now?

I don’t know, only you can know your own integrity. Are some people homeless or hungry or both because there are things they won’t do for money though? Yes, of course.

That’s actually just something people who sell out their morals say to make themselves feel better. There are absolutely people who don’t have a price. It’s not particularly many and society and those in power are generally able to deal with them in other ways, but there are in fact people who stick to their lines in regards to money.

Current AI is incapable of providing that level of good data and high precision, it is uncertain if the types of AI being developed now are even capable of ever achieving that without fundamentally changing how they work.

Only on the equator, the force is just tiny, it produces major weather systems through the coriolis effect but only on giant scales. This would be like saying people get dizzy if they stand near the pole.

Uhm… Gonna have to wildly disagree with you there, wartime and postwar industrialization and strong unions created the American middle class, globalism breaking the unions is what has destroyed the middle class.

I don’t love the difficulty of extremely fast individual identification but there is something to be said for the ease of extremely fast collective identification, it makes it very easy to see which group of apps each app belongs to, which is also valuable.

The problem with furries from that perspective is that they are in fact, still people, and people are terrible.

That’s a weird/morbid take, he seems like a healthy man barely past 50. He could easily be around another 20-45 years geez.

For real though, cars feel big and we aren’t equipped to understand speeds above like 25 mph. It’s easy to think that in a standard sized car there is only like a foot or two on either side of your car and the other lanes and that each of those dashed lines on the pavement are just a couple feet long. In reality almost all cars and standard duty trucks and vans are less than 7 feet wide, most are closer to 6 and the lane itself is 12 feet wide. Each of those dashed lines is 10 feet long and twenty feet separates each line.

This is pretty fundamental trolley problem stuff. If one choice kills 10 million and the other choice kills 5 million but protects the other 5 million, you refusing to participate entirely isn’t a noble stand, it’s saying you don’t give a shit about the other 5 million.

I care too much about these vulnerable people to help these other vulnerable people while not actually helping the other vulnerable people is just being an idiot.

It must be so freeing to live a life so simple and ignorant that you think your little world can be zero harm and morally perfect while living a lifestyle that would be remotely sustainable for the world. The world is a big and scary place and a democracy is made up of a myriad of perspectives on the world. We all do the best we can with the choices we have. To pretend that we can accomplish anything by refusing to participate in an imperfect system is absurd fantasy.

By all means protest, organize etc toward noble goals. But don’t act like “both candidates bad, myeh” is a real stance.

Dude fuck off, I’m sorry but there is no viable “tell Israel to get fucked” candidate. Biden isn’t bombing Gaza personally, the US military isn’t bombing Gaza. The GOP has showed they staunchly want to see it escalate and wipe Gaza off the map completely, this is a holy proxy war for them. Israel and its genocide has overwhelming support in US politics. None of this makes it right, but it does make it not a relevant issue in this presidential race.

You don’t pick a candidate that shares every belief and opinion as you. You vote for the candidate which will do the least harm and the most good and only the frontrunners count as candidates and you know it.

Humans and neanderthals coexisted for awhile, also sociopathy has likely been present in our entire history, and rabies for at least 4000 years but likely much longer.
