Just let people be happy, what the fuck. We consume by nature, it’s unavoidable. No living being has survived without consuming.

Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

And…

but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.

I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.

“Manufacturing software that doesn’t suck!”

🤮 yeah right

Non-existent in the US thanks to whack-ass tariffs unfortunately. We love hindering our adoption of climate change reducing technology for political points.

MD PhD who gets paid $15/hr to work 70 hour weeks at Duke. Her CV is a mile long

She should quit. Industry pays an actual livable salary compared to that. She could work as a shipping clerk and make more money and have a higher standard of living.

They abuse people endlessly because smart and talented people like your friend volunteer to get abused. It’s tragic, but their own choice.

I said that in my previous comment and you conveniently avoided it. I am quoting myself to re-raise the point. You argue with bad faith.

Your failure to plan is not my problem.

Personal responsibility, have you heard of it?

Thanks to federation, the copies of the eggs are. You can’t stop one instance from selling data sourced from federated content until it’s too late.

LOL you’re on crack. The whole point of owning a business is that you can do whatever the fuck you want (within the law). There is no requirement to give tables up to customers.

Because people pay to eat their food and don’t want to get forced to move by people who think their lives are more important than others. If the meeting is so important, make a reservation.

Your failure to plan is not my problem. I don’t owe you any favors.

If you use 0 bullets in a hot-war of your own, but can’t provide a wartime amount to another country with the help of allies that means you cannot provide enough for yourself during a true homeland crisis.

Euroland focused too much on social services and allowed their military production capabilities to rust because big daddy USA would always be there with the largest MIC on the planet.

Well, somebody just went to the gas station for cigarettes. Good luck.

Oh no, it’s the consequences of my actions by putting all my eggs in one basket and giving a corporation incredible leverage.

Maybe they should derisk their infrastructure then…

You think Microsoft has no assets in Europe? Asset seizure is a sure fire way to get paid when companies refuse to cooperate.

Arch isn’t going anywhere. There will always be builds for power users. If not, forks will happen.

Well, if the piece of paper wasn’t necessary to make enough money to split an apartment with 3 other strangers, I’m sure fewer people would go.

lol, good luck with that shit when you can’t even get countries to not poison their own air, water, and land. no country will give up the technological and military advantage of understanding more about a pathogen than rivals.

We used to sling plague corpses with catapults to break sieges and weaponized anthrax - employees at Porton Downs are salivating at making a new weaponized horror for the world.

Been part of large corp. Was laid off during a “reduction in force”. No severance.

Non-union/non-CBA covered staff have no legal mandate to receive severance (depending on state). Severance is exclusively between the employer and employee.
