Not OP but had a thought reading your comment. I wonder how much of this perceived shift in language is driven by corpo's sanitizing for advertisers and how much is young people who have been fully raised online.

As you say, humans are social animals. It makes sense to me then, that if you were raised within an online environment you would naturally extend that sociability to it. However, if much of this technology grow after you were socialized would you be more inclined to see it as a relief valve to vent anger into.

If its some rando at the park spraying liquids of unknown origin on strangers, maybe calling the cops is reasonable. Calling the cops on a neighbour at a party for spraying you accidentally while following a child, overreaction. I hope they have any more parties and specifically ban that jerk neighbour's who called the cops.

“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn't kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don't seem to want to though.

And then promptly leave early because it waits and 'corrects' time at a different random stop in the middle of no where? That happens a lot here.

I would like to point out its not even we. Its upper management and 'the stockholders'. Everyone from the peon to lower management knows that people don't work continuously for their shift. I doubt anyone can work continuously for that long and not go crazy.

But the reward from mid and management and above for completing your work is more work. Which is great for them since you completing more work means they get bonuses.

Wait, isn't that obvious? Its for Elise!

Fucking everything is political. If you think something is too political its because your not political enough.

Your weekend is political, the 8 hour work day is political, the fucking air you breath and the pollution it is fucking political. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING POLITICAL!

Remember that the star trek era was preceded by a nuclear ww3, and the eugenics wars. We still seem to be on track.

Nah, its investing right? You just tell the kid there was a market crash and the IOUs are worthless, then keep the candy for yourself.

Maybe its not because of assholes? Maybe its because the comment is objectively wrong?

Neither my gas water heater, or gas furnace work during a power outage. As another commenter said they both have electronic controls.

Still not great though because it would still be blocking access to the stall, effectively blocking the stall anyways.

The bike parking there for example blocks a wheelchair lift if the vehicle doesnt want to back in.
