Thank you! 100% agree.

Now, apparently "decimate" has been being misused this way since the 1600s so some argue that means "decimate = nearly annihilate" is valid. No, it means people have been being wrong about the meaning of this word for 400 years.

*people can construct, not you specifically. But maybe you, I don't know.

Are you going to read or think about the comment or are we done here?

I misread "shame" as "shank" and it works even better

You can construct a trolley problem to justify anything you want. It's about the constraints that the person who posed the question chose. You don't really get to choose in a trolley problem. The constraints choose for you. In the real world, our options are not so constrained and the outcomes are not so clear. As such it is useless for actually figuring out what to do.

The trolley problem is a useful basic philosophical experiment to get people to think about things and reflect on constraints, assumptions, and values. And often the best response is in fact "fuck these constraints and assumptions!"

So the trolley problem is not bullshit, but it is very very often misapplied in a bullshit or bad faith way, for example last year in the US I saw a lot of liberals uncritically and unironically appeal to "the trolley problem" to rationalize voting for the party that was committing a live-streamed Holocaust. They were using it to absolve themselves of the responsibility to think about and own their moral judgements, and that is the sort of misuse that a lot of people balk at.

Proposal 1: Great idea. 2: Thank you for the tips! Especially the amount of time to reserve. 3. I also find it can be difficult to follow both chat and the movie at times, but I really do not like the idea of Audio Descriptions or auto-generated dubs that cannot be opted out of. I've basically accepted that part of watching things in this way means I will miss some details. Once PeerTube supports multiple audio tracks so that people can opt in or out of ADs I'm all for it

I zoom in, screenshot the cool emotes when people use them, and then I can just post them as responses for free

I open discord.

Some popup gets in my way.

I look for the x and close it.

I go check messages.

I close discord.

This has been going on for years. I still don't know what "Nitro" is. Other than forums, my understanding of Discord and usage of it is basically the same as it was in like 2015 or 16 when I had to quit using Skype and switch to Discord because Skype finally broke the tricks I was using to block its in-app ads.

Looks so cool, but I have to miss today. Have fun!

That sounds horrible. I'm sorry you're suffering and I'm sorry these people who were supposed to be helping abused you instead

Sacco and Vanzetti are right there

Bernard "separate but equal" Sanders

I remember thinking "damn I really want this poster but I'm unemployed and should be responsible with my money, I'll pass" and then being sad when Bernard got ratfucked in the primary and sad that I didn't have the poster.

Then he went on to be extremely disappointing and I no longer yearned for the poster.
