People still believe vitamin C prevents the common cold. > what matters is how informed we are before hopping on the OutrageMobile. So you're saying you don't see outrage reflected in the Uber situation?

by tomlock 10y ago
I'm sorry you feel "grilled", but I'm just trying to understand your position. You've made some big claims about society. Clearly, you see some of these reflected in the Uber situation. How? By who?

I posted about social justice purely because the flagged comment did. Two posts later you claimed there was ill-informed outrage surrounding SJW labelling - so it didn't take much for you to take up the topic. What do you feel I shoul

I'm trying to get to the bottom of what your claim is, and if you think it has any relevance to this Uber situation, and if so, why. I'm not trying to upset you. I've seen plenty of things on the internet. How is what I&#x2

Why is my observation relevant to your claim? Isn't your claim that there's "a ton of ill-informed bandwagon outrage against Uber" backed up by your own evidence? What evidence, and who are you referring to?

So... since your scope is the same as mine, your scope is limited to people that posted pejoratively about social justice? Why are you asking me to look into academic publications? Will they help me understand who exactly you're refer

by tomlock 10y ago
The flagged comment used social justice as a pejorative. Which is why my limited scope claim was relevant. You responded that a "ton" of people were ill-informed and outraged about uber, and I asked for more information about th

Regarding 2, see 1. Again, what makes you feel uninformed outrage is a significant theme when considering this situation with uber? Are four examples enough to draw broad conclusions about people in a society?

1. I believe there are probably not zero instances of people believing aliens are involved in this situation. I would not make the claim that there are zero instances of a belief for any claim because I don't have that information. 2.

A heated discussion? >You know what. Some people don’t like to take responsibility for their own shit. They blame everything in their life on someone else. Good luck!

You've made some very broad claims about society in your discussion. You have for instance suggested that some people are ill-informed about this uber situation. I wonder who you mean? Is it the wider community, is it the commenters

>knowing full well they're on a message board that will congratulate them for it, and, while they're at it, being rather boring. Maybe they're posting these comments because they reflect how they feel?

I can also recap: - You suggest there are even parts ill-informed SJW bandwagoning and blanket label application in regards to the uber issue. - I ask why people would assume people are ill-informed about this uber situation. - You

Are those metrics typically released by companies?

by tomlock 10y ago
I'm sorry you feel pigeonholed. I'm trying to determine what made you think your view was relevant in this particular situation.
289.
by tomlock 10y ago
What evidence have you seen that suggests this is the cause of the negative sentiment surrounding Uber?
290.
by tomlock 10y ago
It sounds kind of like you're implying the negative feeling against uber is related to this issue. Do you feel like the rule of law is being violated here by the negative reactions people are having to uber?
291.
by tomlock 10y ago
Could you help me understand what evidence would indicate to you that there was a systemic problem at Uber?
292.
by tomlock 10y ago
Yeah, I mean, saying its ill-informed (removing bandwagon) outrage is slightly better. Then we get at the real core of the argument - like, what do people feel others are ill-informed about?
293.
by tomlock 10y ago
You're arguing that "sjw" isn't a label???? Things with definitions aren't labels???
294.
by tomlock 10y ago
Yeah, you blanket bombed those reacting negatively to uber with name-calling in your now flagged post.
295.
by tomlock 10y ago
I think blanket labelling negative feeling towards uber as reactionary social justice is a pretty good example of hyper-reactionary tribalism.

>and creating a culture where name-calling with labels Interesting.

by tomlock 10y ago
It confuses, sickens, and amuses me that people could get the world so twisted in their heads that "social justice" could become a phrase applied negatively to people, movements and feelings.

I've been pretty fascinated by the idea of ancient coffee houses since reading Raymond E. Feist's fictional novel "Rise of a Merchant Prince" in which most of the action happens in a coffee house. Are there any more arti

That's also true of 99.99% of digital ads. Plenty of businesses are using attribution models that aren't that deterministic.
