Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.

Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.

If anything, that was just an answer to the topic question, I don't have anything about anyone's human rights. Ah, by the way, I forgot! Of course! What I said also includes the necessity to explicitly state your words aren't deliberately harmful if they can be seen as such by someone. (Again, it's just an answer to the topic, I don't bear any harmful intentions to anyone.)

On lemmy?

  • Two-space indent (as superior to tab indent)

  • Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

  • I'm a new user and why isn't this more like reddit

  • I'm pretty okay with capitalism, actually

  • Here's video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)

Medically assisted suicide is pretty widely accepted in Canada, in my experience. Pro non medically assisted suicide or young suicide is different, maybe.

Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.

[-] infinite_ass@leminal.space 7 points 11 hours ago

I'd call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It's a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.

"ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly"

Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it's brilliant.

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.

If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

This is my answer too. It's crazy how much hate a tool can get

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 22 points 17 hours ago

I'd probably also develop a short temper about spanners too if they were being shoved in my face by tech companies as hard as chat bots are

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 27 points 16 hours ago

We're excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!

I don't see why my headphones need a sp-

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that's not wh-

We're proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

...

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don't ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Angular my beloved...

What's wrong with it if I may ask?

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

Close enough. Ban him.

R.A.P.E

religion, abortion, politics and economics.

Avoid discussing rape too.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Economics doesn’t seem as big of a thing as the other 3. Anyone who’s nerdy enough to talk economics without making it political could probably have a pretty good discussion. I vote we change it to Elephants. Religion, Abotion, Politics, Elephants, or Rape.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Economics is poorly understood by the vast majority of Americans. To most people, it is purely political.

For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

All drugs should be legal and regulated.

Is it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths at the hands of police/gangs/cartels and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?

When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?

Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?

Will drug users ruin sober people's lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?

Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?

NO!

Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists... that's who. And we are not them

Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.

Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.

Now playing The War on Drugs - Red Eyes

I know it's very on the nose and has other themes in it. But the root cause is all the same. Reagan. This is the song I thought of reading the post:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIqNjC1RKU

I don't necessarily agree with everything said in the song, but I think we can all agree (to quote the song) "I'm glad Reagan dead".

People of color seem to perform amazing in athletics compared to other races in America (see: American football, basketball). Makes me think that Americans hyper-evolved their slaves by selective breeding. Unfortunate and extremely unethical, but maybe possible? Idk.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 21 points 16 hours ago

It's possible it's for other reasons, though. Black Americans are generally poorer than other Americans, and success in sports is a ticket out of poverty that is accessible to people in that position. It could also be a cultural thing; I doubt Finns are genetically predisposed to be exceptional drivers, but they are still wildly over-represented at the top level of motorsports for such a small population

AOC letting her outdoor cats stack rocks, which is supposedly what the unions told her to do

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 13 hours ago

AOC voting to protect the rail corporation from the union strike.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 17 hours ago

bait

This sounds a lot like "I need to catch up; what is contrarian and edgy right now?"
