There's a motte and bailey here.
Motte: "people tell me to go to North Korea for my idea that it should be illegal to make couches with the wrong joins, use license agreements, or air ads that don't match my eventual experience",
Bailey: "I don't know what a join is, and I shouldn't need to"
Again, I ask: What's actually being proposed here? If nothing, is this just white collar barroom conversation, via griping?
- saagarjha 2y agoThe proposal is that it should be illegal to make couches with bad joins, yes. Or do so in a way that isn't completely obvious, rather than me having to check the actual join.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSetting aside my shock at you invoking motte-and-bailey here, given that I'd apply it to your counterargument first, here are some concrete proposals: - Ban most of the advertising as it's known today, recognizing it for the cancer on modern society that it is (see: [0]); - Make vendors pay for costs of disposal of their products; this would curtail the profitability of shit-tier products and planned obsolescence; - Institute a carbon tax; this will improve things across the board. -- [0] - http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html
