Absolute hogwash. The existence of people being exploited more does not mean that people being exploited less are not being exploited. Like, yes, these workers are probably in better conditions than many global workers. But that doesn&#x2

Did you read the list of things I posted they have to do to ship their product? It's non trivial because those are hard problems and their space is large. It should be that complex because it is that complex.

The NYT is not a left wing organization. It aligns, mostly, with a centrist Democrat politically. That position puts it pretty center right on the global scale. A left wing paper would typically be pretty anti capitalist, anti imperial, etc

I don't know why you are being down voted, this is a fair question. The answer is: don't make assumptions, listen to what the workers want. If they call for a boycott, boycott in support. If they say, "don't boycott&quot

Good for them. More workers need to be understanding just how much they are being exploited by their leadership and demand a more equitable piece of the pie.

Ha. Companies collude to eliminate competition all the time. Or use tactics that make competition impossible. And don't use violence? Give me a break. Even small scale companies like Wizards of the Coast sent the fucking Pinkertons aft

I make approximately 750k/year. I can afford diamonds. I choose not to buy them because they are a symbol of accepting human suffering for my luxury.

by hungie 2y ago
Just because we accept it in one place doesn't mean we should blanket accept it everywhere. This isn't some inductive proof of human suffering where we can just k+1 cases where people do bad things. Whataboutism isn't a usefu

Can we avoid painting with such a broad brush? "Women want tribute" is a wild thing to assert.

Some women in some cultures in the U.S. expect it. Many women in the U.S. expect a ring, diamond or not.

by hungie 2y ago
Why though. Like, genuinely, why bother with the mined ones? "This diamond caused untold human suffering and exploitation to acquire, and that makes it rare and valuable." It's just a weird flex at this point. It marks you ou

Godot has a good 3D renderer. It has a built in physics system and an off the shelf upgrade to Jolt (which was used in horizon forbidden west). There's absolutely a profiler ( https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable&

I'm a serious game developer, been in the industry for decades. I would say that. Godot is a way way better tool. There, I've falsified your claim. But more seriously, it's a faster dev experience, it's more ergonomic, i

I've been a game dev (and services dev) for a two decades and I could not disagree with you regarding Unity and Godot more strongly. Having gotten into Godot with v4, it was a huge breath of fresh air coming from Unity and Unreal (whic

The deported people are still human and deserve basic dignity. If we are going to deport children, throwing them into a concrete cell with bloody straw and feces is absolutely roses to inhumane levels.

Would be nice to see what one looks like, so I could have some context...

The U.S. is absolutely creating deportation camps, and there's a national zeal for evicting people here. It's, unfortunately, bipartisan. The conditions in U.S. camps are dire, children sleeping on bloody straw, smeared with feces

Honestly? Good for them. You think every other national team isn't exploiting absolutely every advantage they have access to?

I can bring my own domains easily, I'm someone who gives companies <companyname>@example.com. That way if I start getting spam, I can block it easily and I know which company sold my email or had a breach. But they land in the sa

Fastmail is such an obviously better choice than Gmail these days. I moved over a few years ago, and I have zero regrets. I'm a bit nervous that someday they'll sell out or run out of things to build and enshittification will se

Thankfully those are mostly going away. Single family zoning is no longer a thing. Parking minima are gone. Environmental reviews are more streamlined. We still get people being like, "No my neighborhood character is changing!" Bu

We shouldn't permit "mega corporate landlords" to exist. It doesn't take a Marxist to see that consolidation of real estate into fewer and larger corporate holdings is going to snowball in really destructive ways.

It is a shallow dismissal, you've read it correctly. Your analogy was silly, parenting is emotional (and being emotional isn't negative), and the situation was quite straightforward and needed no simplification.

Read the rest of my post again. It's not just the parent I'm discussing.

Yes, they are often useful for that. Not in this case.

"Imagine a hypothetical and quite silly scenario, which I've constructed to be obviously absurd" isn't a great rhetorical device. There's no need for analogizing here, we have a clear scenario we can discuss directl

by hungie 2y ago
Contextualize the event, though. Womanhood and motherhood are often quite strongly connected. An event celebrating and developing women should anticipate a higher percentage of the audience will be mothers with infants. Be prepared for that

Your framing leads to questions like: are infertile women inferior? I think it's wonderful to find purpose in creating and nurturing a life, but framing it as the best makes people who cannot or choose not to do the thing seem inadequa
