Using a loud and high visibility technology to inject an unignorable advertisement into a natural space is bad. I don't know or care what flavor of bad the dictionary would call it. Dystopian works fine for me. Sorry it doesn't fo

It's not totally clear to me how you're using some of these words and their meanings can change a lot depending on context. Like I would consider both the republican and democrat parties to be conservative, in the sense of general

The idea that otherwise well-behaving members of society would resort to rape without sex workers is, first, pretty fucked up, but more importantly not backed by any reputable scholarship that I'm aware of. And plus I mean even if it w

I mean I don't think the damn NSA or whatever the EU has for that is going to stop doing whatever they're already planning to do with AI. And I absolutely could not care less about "great companies rising" either now or

Decisions like these need to made slowly and societally and over time. Tension between small-c conservatism that resists change and innovators who push for it before the results can be known is very important! No one person or group needs t

What is turbo and who is it named after? I know it's a name but I don't know of anyone with that name who is notable other than like one unpopular saint.

My perspective is that our technological advancement has well outpaced our ability to adapt to the changes or bring our legal and social tools effectively to bear on them. A decade or two of stagnation would be frustrating for those in the

I didn't say anything about managers. My beef is with the power of owners not their deputies. Managers are in some sense workers and are welcome to the fight if they're willing to roll.

I don't see how "you should just hope for an employer who is benevolent in spite of every possible economic incentive otherwise" is less idealogically motivated. But anyway yes in my case it is idealogical and I won't di

Ohhh I see ok. Thanks for explaining that makes a lot more sense.

Wait you think people in jails should just not exist? Do you want to uh elaborate on that a little? EDIT: yes I got it thank you to everyone who explained. I'm not a native english speaker and misunderstood the phrasing.

Yes this is the natural end to "individual responsibility" morality. Put tremendous immiserating conditions on as many people as possible and then you can blame them for the harms they cause to each other to survive it. You can ev

I know the religious art influence from europe is explored in this but it is really striking how much it reminds me of a byzantine christian icon. The simple full-body centering of the single figure, the use of color, the unnatural but symb

I don't do this no. I have passions but I have no desire to make money from them. Writing code in my free time is very far from what I experience or want in life.

Regardless of how well that article makes the point, within the books the culture is a powerful hegemonic force. Its internal views and conflicts about the nature and execution of that is a major plot driver in a few of the books. I'm

They pretty much do allow subs to do whatever they want as long as it isn't illegal and also as long as it doesn't draw negative media attention to reddit. They will usually crack down on the latter. They will sometimes ban illega

This old stuff by internet standards but historically the reddit administration has been uncomfortably friendly to pedophiles on its site. It, for YEARS, had at least a dozen (public!) subs that were explicitly for exchanging sexual photos
