“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”

Joke’s on you I’m going to send this to my wife knowing fully well that she’s going to want garlic bread.
Homemade Alfredo, here we come!
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•We all bear the burden of our choices...English11·18 hours agoyou begin manufacturing explosives in order to demolish all future trolley tracks, trying to ensure nobody is ever forced to choose again. Misunderstanding your purpose, you are arrested, and the people cheer that a terrorist has been brought to justice. Your pleas fall on deaf ears and people insist the trolleys are good, the trolleys are necessary.
True, it’s not a great plan. But it’s not your fault. You can never move on from… the trolley problem.

LPT: don’t summon a demon if you aren’t certain you can control it.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Wicked, bad, naughty evil math ruleEnglish16·19 hours agoImagine if you had one of the greatest piano players in history offering to play you something, and you ask him to play the opening bars of “Heart and Soul”, three times in a row.
Yes, they could do it, and do it perfectly… But why would they want to do that when Claire De Lune or Für Elise exist. And yes, those are still fairly basic in the grand scheme of things but heart and soul is boring AF.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 monthsEnglish24·2 days agoThat’s the point.
Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.
Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.
The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.
The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.
The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.
But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”
It’s all designed to boost engagement.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
My condolences to your digestive tract…

“what about all the sink pissing Larry has done?” is literally whataboutism.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?English4·4 days agoThat’s fair.
I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I’m literally going for visibility with a name like this…
But 9/10 times it’s a generic name with a default or no picture.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto science@lemmy.world•Universe’s mysteries may never be solved because of Trump’s NASA cuts, experts sayEnglish4·4 days agoThey’re being elitist with their headline, but this is why I personally think they’re sort of right… We will make the planet uninhabitable for modern society before the sane world can pool their resources.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto science@lemmy.world•Universe’s mysteries may never be solved because of Trump’s NASA cuts, experts sayEnglish21·4 days agoI mean… Never by our current civilization.
With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.
So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don’t think. But modern society will not survive.
Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won’t.
The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they’re delusional.
Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lord of the memes@midwest.social•keep arda cleanEnglish13·4 days agoI once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It’s made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

You’re right, you clearly don’t have anything of substance to say.
