  Likely, whatever benefits the little guy. Most people don’t have a problem with copyright laws in a vacuum. It’s the abuse of those by large corporate entities that are the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was the fall of Rome this stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  history happens slowly then suddenly

  With how fast we are able to communicate, I’d say it’s likely to happen faster this time around. When the emperor does something that fucks over the populace, they can hear about it within minutes. During Roman times it could have taken months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? I always thought lower life expectancies were dragged down by infant mortality. Basically if you survive the crib you’d likely live into your 70s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is if the other person doesn’t go higher. You can completely refute the central claim of their argument. But if they simply respond by essentially shoving their fingers in their ears yelling “I can’t hear you!” the argument will go no further.

  Janeway and Paris getting their lizard fuck on and having kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as institutional trust, you’ll have to decide for yourself IMO. Do you agree with the messaging from the institution? Do you generally trust the people within it? If so, progress, otherwise don’t.

  Something I do for this is to look at what the “opposition” says in response to anything salacious or inflammatory. Does the other side address it directly and provide evidence? Do they ignore it? What’s their track record on the subject? Consider the end of Obama’s last term when all the right could talk about was him golfing. Then trump gets in office and golf’s even more. Anyone who botched about Obama and was silent for trump lose a ton of credibility. The exact same thing for the debt. The right was screaming about how much debt Obama added. Then trump goes and adds more in his one term than Obama did in two. Those same critics? Fucking silent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  States are likely to have laws against “distracted driving” or “reckless driving”. Those likely encompass much of the driving while texting or fiddling with controls. Unless a cop directly saw the action this are usually charges levied after an accident happens and do nothing to prevent it. Once enough crashes are attributed to a narrower set of actions, public opinion can be swayed to support action against that narrower set. Now with a specific “no texting while driving” law, cops can pull you over simply for holding a phone. They don’t need to see you do something that would constitute “distracted” or “reckless” driving to ticket you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is in for the antivax in a government?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But they get validation. It’s not just that they think their ideas and information is correct. They are correct and doctors and entire industries are wrong or corrupt. That makes them smarter than those eggheads that went to school for sometimes a decade and have spent further decades with their face in a microscope. After decades of education and dedicated research somehow Cletus from BFE, Dumbfuckistan and Google was able to best them intellectually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you differentiating between AI Interpolation and just simply AI? It feels like people saying it’s AI you push back on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you just described was a horribly inefficient use of resources. You gained insight through idle banter. While everyone is in office that’s what middle managers would tend to handle. All this time they thought they were herding cats, turns out the cats just wanted to be home. Now people don’t know who to go to because the “yes” person isn’t in a cubicle you can just waltz over to. Middle management needs a massive paradigm shift if they want to stay relevant in a WFH situation. And that seems increasingly likely to be the direction businesses will go once they cut staff with these asinine RTO policies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A constant refrain I’ve found myself using with a Facebook “friend” is “you lack the ability to even understand why you are wrong”. Like I’m convinced he actually thinks anecdotal stories carry as much weight as troves of data proving him wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how good are you at lying during job interviews?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was being interviewed by a few people at a company. I asked about hours, and they essentially said, “Being a salaried position, it would be the standard 40 hours, but we like to usually work 45-50 a week.” I think they might have heard my brain mentally slamming the door on them so fucking hard cause there were some of those awkward looks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Melania Trump launches AI contest for schoolchidren in grades K-12⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if trump dies before declaring an heir to the throne close enough to election time the power vacuum could reach critical mass. Just his death will certainly create a vacuum. The election will spur the sycophants into a frenzy to take his place. But separately it might not be catastrophic. Together in imagining all the ugliness that trump brought to politics but without his Teflon sheen to avoid and ignore all consequences.

  Which begs the question, what happens to the estranged particle that escapes the black hole from hawking radiation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would one exit a black hole?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t the hawking radiation need to be a higher rate than the black hole is absorbing matter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the recommendation really quarterly? I’ve usually done twice a year but might have to step out up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it can fairly easily carry on the air. So if air flow can get there, so can dust.
