Let’s not ignore the fact that multinational trillion-dollar companies will venue shop for the least tax burden to satisfy what we presume is greed, while GP venue shopped for a place to call home where he wouldn’t need to minimize their ta

“Hyperbolic empathy”? Seriously? My empathy isn’t in question. I have a great deal for anyone who loses a loved one to something stupid. But we’re not talking about me, we’re talking about your seemingly complete lack of empathy. Again, whe

School in the US is little more than daycare. Source: me, who was educated in that system, and had two parents who were teachers.

Why do you discount “pain and suffering” entirely?

Tying human life to a monetary calue as you have done is… well obviously not popular. But honestly, what the actual fuck dude? A woman died and you’re quibbling about how much she might have made working? What about the pain and loss her fa

If you get caught once and don’t stop. And then are caught a few more times, well… seems obvious these actions are taken with intent.

Because your brain is an “antenna” for the consciousness of your soul. It can only feel a certain way because of the limits of flesh coded into each of us. :)

I’ve read some hubris on this site, hell probably exhibited it myself. But this? This takes the cake. There are many meatbags on this world that are not human, but are alive, conscious, and intelligent. Crows, dolphins, and so on are the us

With or without AI this is still a thing. As we layer abstractions upon each other, eventually the lowest layers get forgotten entirely. Which in turn then becomes a security threat.

Each of us has the capacity to be good and evil. I guess the thing I am lamenting is that no one is bothered to try and hide the evil anymore. Or maybe I see it clearly now for the first time. But regardless of what others are doing, what

I guess ours has gotten pretty damned bad -- it's so incredibly obvious. I've been ashamed to be an American for a long time now. Perhaps it is finally time to cut ties & move on. Truly this feels like it must be the dumbest

As an American I can tell you absolutely people around me are entirely delusional. It’s sad to see and I know I am not immune. Near as I can tell we are , in fact, the baddies .

The way we used to do it? Based on human reputation , so you know, if you're a dick you prob won't get a lot of customers.

“The media” are simply a mouthpiece for the ultra-wealthy. Basically their propaganda arm.

by Henchman21 2mo ago
So… does it follow that the very wealthy basically hold a massive IOU to the general public?

You've made a good case for "giving up the internet entirely", thanks!

by Henchman21 2mo ago
And likewise, continuing to call it "Twitter" when that is long dead, which has amazingly positive brand association as near as I can tell entirely from the name doesn't do any of us a service. If you want people to stop us

Question: if these run Android, and are rootable (unknown to me) is there open source software that can provide basic TV functionality?

Given the track record of corporate America, to take these folks at their word would be monumentally stupid. “Lying to get their way” is practically the M.O. for corporate America and now, on this topic, we’re expected to take it seriously?
