Their response wasn’t to fix the problem, it was to find a better way to subjugate people. Clearly his methods aren’t the solution. They’re just an easy way to pass the problem off to someone else without you having to put in the effort to help fix it yourself.

Sold!

There’s a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
This is not a righteous crusade for the downtrodden, you are not defending a moral outrage. It’s a petty school yard slapfight.
It’s annoying, but it’s not diabolical. No one is functionally harmed by this, they just get a bruised ego.
On scales of capitalist damages in the world, this barely makes a ripple.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
Google is dictating “This is how it’s referred to by one of the two countries encompassing the gulf”. Is it dumb as fuck? Sure. But they’re not deciding that people should be using it, only that in official terms, that is one of the names.
That doesn’t mean you have to like it, or that it shouldn’t be fought against… but it’s not like they’re some malevolent actor trying to get one over on the righteous hero either.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
It’s referred to as Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. Elsewhere it’s referred to either Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) or Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico).
They didn’t rename it for everyone, just for those living in jurisdictions falling under Car Salesman in Chief.

Honestly, I don’t think Riker ever really got over that hologram. He settled for Deanna.

Outside sarcastic internet forums? Probably, yeah.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 2 weeks ago:
You are the exception, not the rule. Just because you have an easy time with something does not mean everyone does. Everyone experiences interaction in a different way.
Just because it brings no value to your life does not mean that opinion is universal.

So… they didn’t remove it, they moved it.

- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 4 weeks ago:
Two transporter beams, a weirdly reflective at.osphere that only exists in a single planet in the known universe, and plot devises intended for the sole purpose of that one story.
Most of which are explained in that same episode if you’d actually pay attention to it.
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 4 weeks ago:
Why do you think consoles are constantly exploding every time they even bump into something?
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 4 weeks ago:
The ethics of it are dubious because every time you see someone transport they are being literally killed in front of your eyes and a new copy created elsewhere.
They “nuh-uh’d” this in Enterprise. The inventor of the technology is introduced and basically says the people who propagate that theory are a constant thorn in his side, despite having no basis for it in the reality of that universe.
They also show people experiencing, and reacting to other things, in the matter streams during longer transports. Kind of hard to do if you’re dead.
- Comment on Humanity has opened 'Pandora's box of ills,' UN chief warns 5 weeks ago:
What out of control technology isn’t directed and controlled by human intention and greed?
Blaming technology for our failings is passing the buck because we want to avoid actually dealing with the cause of the problems.

Have you tried having sex with other people, instead? You’d have to dig less holes that way.

- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
Part of the fun of a forum is interacting with people as well, which OP didn’t do. Just shit in the forum and fucked off.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
What’s the deal with poorly explained questions?
Why don’t they provide more context for their perspective? Do they think people will magically know what they mean without them explaining it?

- Comment on Tawny Newsome Says Live Action Star Trek Workplace Comedy Will Explore Life Outside The Federation 1 month ago:
Don’t a ton of the episodes deal with life outside the federation, boldly go where no (hu)man has gone before and all that? Hell, DS9 took place on a space station outside the federation…
Or do they mean outside Starfleet? I wouldn’t mind that show, it’d be nice to see the daily lives of people in or out of the Federation who aren’t part of a pseudo-military style organization.
Also… Risa was part of the Federation. Unless that was retconned with nu-trek or something…
- Comment on Max is testing always-on HBO channels 2 months ago:
Being able to create your own playlists of shows, and then adding a “shuffle” button would be best.
- Comment on E...dward.. 2 months ago:
Ego. Desperation. He did it to his wife years before, which started his rise to alchemy stardom… he just needed some way to keep it going.
The real discussion is why he never went out and got transients (or refugees) to experiment on. Too much work?
- Comment on Frieren will never stop 2 months ago:
It’s a double meaning, it doesn’t just mean “The Slayer”, it also means to send someone off or to end something (not specifically a life).
If they just named it “The elf that goes around massacring demons” it wouldn’t have quite as much shock value when it turns out that’s what she’s spent the last thousand years training to do.

- Comment on The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying 2 months ago:
I think the true horror isn’t that you at an entire XL pizza, but that you ate an entire XL Papa Johns pizza.
