  Did you miss the “Ignoring the obvious nuance”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You make a good point. Which can also be made about any form of freedom as soon as it encroaches on someone else’s comfort.

  Ignoring the obvious nuance, a loud concert or a horror movie are also not something law enforcement will do anything against but it could terrorize people as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t make them more/less worth it.

  If your criteria for worthiness is persistence then is a nice looking meal as worth it as a goop ?

  I believe it was Socrates who said that when the debate is lost, Ad hominem becomes the tool of a loser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, that could also be said about music, cinema and any other form of art that doesn’t produce anything “useful” but again, what is “useful” varies from one person to another.

  Ultimately nothing matters because there is no true meaning of life, so anything that pulls you away from the dark nothingness of existence is good to take.

  I don’t know the guy nor care about American politics so don’t take this comment as a support for either side, but reading the comment, I’m curious. Without the caption, would you still say the same things about his face ?

  Like if it said this guy was a Nobel prize winner instead, would your opinion of him be different?

  He has a very average face to me, nothing noteworthy. At best he looks like a french teacher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anytime people needed to save space while texting you have acronyms(tbh) or shortenings(no 8 m8) happening so it’s not surprising many languages have them.

  French does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it is kinda crazy "fuck this shit" hasn't become a common acronym yet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That’s why “Fuck that shit” feels better than “Damn this mess”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aaaaaaa⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s easier to have testicles on your chin at this point.

  I want to up vote this post, but my brain tells me not to.

  Have a spiritual upvote instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there aren't any moral geniuses?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Moral is dependent on the time and the place. What was morally justified yesterday might be offensive tomorrow.

  For example: Adolf Hitler could have been a moral genius in regards to eugenics whereas Martin Luther King would have been a moral idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple, SpaceX, Microsoft return-to-office mandates drove senior talent away⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Daily commute and sleep deprivation that derives from it is mind numbing. The only reason leaders want people to work at the office is so they don’t pay for empty offices.

  Want people to innovate ? Give them free time to do research on a subject your company could benefit from.

  Want people to meet with their teams ? Organize team activities once in a while. Everyone will benefit and be happier for it.

  I’ve been told that originally Asus was called Pegasus ? But they shortened it to be listed higher in alphabetical order lists.

  Guess they’re trying to 😎 bring back the Peg.

  Nor of a quality end product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason for this is because it works a lot better than ad hoc justice which is too reliant on variables like who was there that day.

  Not to mention feelings. Which is inherently too biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There comes a point in your trauma where you feel you only have the option to dig deeper in being aggressive because otherwise you’d feel all that fighting was for nothing and you’d lose control.

  Don’t let that feeling blind you and justify acting like a piece of human garbage for your own sake, that’s probably how the monsters you hate justify their own behaviours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On the contrary, they needed a friend to confide in more than anything. And it helped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t need to feel the rape of my closest friend for it to affect me deeply even when it had happened so long before we met. So I’ll call pass on your hasty judgment, thank you very much.

  I could try to imagine why someone would stalk, but you’d probably say I’m finding them an excuse, so I’ll also pass on trying.

  And this is how you lose the sympathy and protection of those who could help you against creeps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not having a hard time

  Allow me to disagree, you’re obviously distressed and frustrated. I wouldn’t like to be stalked either.

  Why tf are you following me? And majority of men are

  How would I know, I’m not following you, so :shrug:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, obviously you’re having a hard time in life and you think your view of men is justified, but it only serves to antagonize the majority of men that are not predators. Nobody likes to be slandered out of the blue and for no reason. And if you were slandered like that you’d dislike it too, and you’d be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  K.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe stop looking at news ? We all know they only put forward the negative because that’s what catches your eye. Nobody cares about little Maggie who performed moderately great at her recital, whose parents are very proud. I don’t think we were made to sustain this level of concentrated human horror at our fingertips, all day, everyday.

  Do yourself a favor: Go out, touch grass.
