I do this, I hate it, but I can’t get rid of it so I’ve started to accept it.

Youtube has forced it onto their creators for a while. Censor swears or risk upsetting the almighty algorithm and getting demonetized, because apparently american companies don’t like being associated with swearing.

It’s easy to say everyone should have human rights. But what if one person goes against anothers human rights? What is a just punishment?

And that’s before even getting into what rights people should have. You can very easily have everyone be theoretically equal while still effectively disadvantaging some people (and getting rid of that entirely is not even possible, we can just minimize it). There’s a lot to debate.

What I don’t get is why there would ever be a debate about excluding some people from human rights without them first violating others’. The only argument for that is “if we oppress this group, this other group will have better lives”. Which is often true, sure, but that’s just being a selfish asshole.

I once failed a test in politics class because after examining both sides I stated this issue does not affect me and I can see merit in both positions, therefore I do not have an opinion on the correct course of action.

Not like the grade mattered in the slightest but that was actual bullshit.

Can definitely agree they need to be context based, dunno how the situation there is in the US precisely.

I can also say from experience though that no speed limit doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of overtakes, and speed changes when overtaking isn’t possible. Not everyone is comfortable with the same speed. If you have a 6 lane highway without speed limit here, you have trucks going 80 km/h on the rightmost lane, some cars following them at the same speed and other cars going around 100 that often use the rightmost lane too and then overtake every truck. Then cars going around 120 in the middle lane except some go 130 and others 110 so lots of overtakes happen. Then you have the leftmost lane where everything from 140-220 tends to be (def skews to the lower end though) and you can guess the result.

The reason traffic moves at above the speed limit is that people see the speed limit and go slightly above it because it feels fine.

Speed limits are absolutely necessary in residential areas, and still a good thing on highways. High speeds are insanely fuel inefficient and they do also endanger people more.

My country has been debating putting a speed limit on highways that previously didn’t have one so I’ve heard quite a lot about this topic.

There’s a difference between “it wouldn’t be so bad if they die” and “i hope they died in the worst way possible”. I think the former about quite a few people, but while there’s some fucked up part of me that delights in assholes getting what they deserve, I’m still not gonna celebrate someone going through torture.

Tbh I just don’t think the people upvoting this meme are likely the same people, i constantly see comments on here dehumanizing people for having backwards-ass views on things, which would be perfectly in line with saying the genocide is okay because many of the people affected hold similar views.

It’s obviously not, not just because that’s bound to not apply to everyone, but also because people can change and are a product of their environment.

Gearbox is also the developer of the borderlands games. Doesn’t seem impossible they’ll just let the studio do its thing, and inany case they’re far from unrelated to game dev.

Though I’d also be concerned any time something I like is bought by another company.

Boxen, presumably. Punching. So it’s saying punch nazis

Hmm, I wonder if we could get an EU law that requires enabling testing of third party apps globally, as anything else is suppressing competition.

We are, because people want luxury goods too. Post-scarcity is about being able to produce most goods with barely any human labor (would absolutely be true for food if every person on earth only worked in food production or to produce machinery needed for it), which we aren’t even close to. AI and automation might get us there (though it’s questionable when the cycle of just investing the newfound labor capacity into more luxuries will stop, if ever), but people are actively resisting that (reasonably so) because the current economic system basically everywhere is horribly rigged towards funnelling the excess wealth to rich individuals rather than improving the living standards of society as a whole.

Would it be evil to genetically engineer a cow that can produce milk without having to get pregnant? Seems much less evil to me than the current state of things.

As I stated, it is not incorrect to use the term racism for religious discrimination, especially not when it involves a religion you can’t just join at will. What matters is moreso whether they see themselves as a seperate people from whoever they discriminate against.

“Race” for humans is a made up concept and “racism” has been used to refer to any kind of hating a group for their ethnicity. “Ethnicity” is a very ambiguously defined concept notably including shared attributes like nationality, language, history, religion, etc.

I, too, am not a fan of words being used incorrectly, but this is not an incorrect use of “racism”.

I mean as a german I would read “fuck germany” and if the context is international politics I’d assume they mean the government.

But from what I know it’s also true that both the US and China have some pretty strong propaganda going to make people think that criticism of their country = criticism of them personally, so specifying never hurts to avoid antagonizing people. Still doesn’t seem like something to instantly ban someone over, but context kind of matters, if it’s out of the blue needlessly inflammatory it’s kinda worse than say a top level comment on a post about china doing something bad.

The exploit is years old and has been unknown until recently, and they specifically didn’t list which versions are affected to avoid making it easier to figure out through code changes.

A few days ago at work i was very annoyed and confused at outlook suddenly opening links in edge. “We are opening links in edge so you can do everything in one window” or something. Wasn’t hard to disable (though it was more than one click which already feels like too much for something actively ignoring my settings) but shows how they really are trying everything they can to get you to use edge.
