Jax ,

Yeah but then they might sweat a little bit, and god forbid that happen.

Q: “Are we doomed?” A: “We would be, if not for the amazing developments in renewable energy.” ( powering-the-planet.ghost.io )

I wasn't aware just how good the news is on the green energy front until reading this. We still have a tough road in the short/medium term, but we are more or less irreversibly headed in the right direction.

Jax ,

Expecting a revolution to solve your problems is a bad joke.

Jax ,

A friend of mine works for Deloitte, can you tell me more?

Jax ,

I'm just gonna go ahead and say ratio'd. And yes, I've read all of the discourse ITT.

Jax ,

I don't remember many excerpts from LotR giving sympathy to wiping out orcs.

Jax ,

Yeaaah...

I'm gonna go ahead and say you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

Jax ,

I can point to all the ways AI has made my life worse. Google (and YouTube) has gotten worse, any forum where art is posted (that includes lemmy) has gotten worse, and I've had to establish a safeword with my mom because of AI scammers.

So, sincerely, pull your head out of your ass. Thank you.

Jax ,

Oof, how much money did you lose on crypto buddy?

Jax ,

They said Physiological not Psychological. There's a considerable difference between those two words.

Jax ,

That's the thing, you won't be comfortable.

You'll get sick at your office desk then suffer miserably in your own bed or, god forbid, in a hospital bed. And you'll have all the karma coming to you for wishing that fate on potentially millions of other people, if you believe in that sort of thing.

Jax ,

I seem to remember a certain presidents infectious disease team (my memory fails me) doing a pretty damn good job handling Ebola.

I wonder what happened? Oh, right - Trump.

Jax ,

You'll likely be home either way, one will just have you working at home when you die

Jax ,

Individual karma can be brought on by thoughts, although that's as far as I'm willing to take this conversation because I don't believe in it.

Jax ,

Flex? You think this is flexing??

Here, how about this - you're a douchebag for wishing for a pandemic that will undoubtedly kill hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Jax ,

Remember, everyone else is going to have to deal with the refugees.

Jax ,

I highly doubt that someone disabled enough to need implants like this is capable of doing damage to anyone but themselves. Like if you're interested in protecting them, sure I'll accept that. But the idea that society needs to protect itself from this is silly.

Jax ,

I'm not sure that's accurate, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today. I'm sure there's plenty of hate brewed up in them, and hate is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting another person to die.

I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm merely pointing out that hate doesn't just spring from nowhere. You have to suffer to hate, even if that suffering is marginal compared to others.

Jax ,

-1000 IQ, that's an instant false advertising lawsuit slam dunk

Jax ,

"Have you ever tried to do this thing you'll never actually need to do?"

It sounds a hell of a lot more like you're trying to automate text communication

Jax ,
  1. no, 2) qwerty is fine for that, literally 0 need for AI interpretation, 3) no, not that I can't just switch to a pc keyboard for 4) no
Jax ,

to make men think about their actions

Do you not understand that, as a very straight man, I've never once even thought about hurting a woman?

It's absolutely divisive. Stop.

Jax ,

Is vague with their wording, immediately backpedals to "I dOn'T mEaN aLl MeN"

Shut up

Jax ,

Ah yes, let me open myself up to physical violence because I'm a man and that's my place in the world.

Shut the fuck up

Jax ,

Are you aware that, as a man, I still have the right to protect myself?

God, go fuck yourself you troglodyte.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Jax ,

Most people do not understand that there are many ways to burn a book.

Jax ,

Meanwhile we've reached past global resource tipping points, yet there are still people who believe we can manage a post scarcity society.

Idealism will be the death of us all.

Jax ,

Because all of the things you listed have nothing to do with being drugged and raped.

Like, holy fuck dude, pull your head out of your ass.

Jax ,

I was thinking sea lion, but yeah.

Jax , (edited )

I think you need to specify why:

misandrist* feminist

equals

incel

Like their argument was dumb, but misandrists absolutely exist and can be some truly despicable people.

Jax , (edited )

Yeah, you assumed that's what they meant.

I'm taking a guess and claim that you don't really understand sexism. It hurts men, too, yes. But not in the way you think it does (but rather by toxic masculinity)

This is what you've said. I'm not assuming anything about what you've said.

I was in 5th grade when my misandrist teacher very pointedly exclaimed how much she hated little boys. In a class of 30 kids, the only people who got A's were the three girls.

You can just fuck off. Misandry absolutely exists, it effects men and boys - not just in a 'toxic masculinity' way.

Jax ,

How many men walk around with concealed carries because they're afraid they might need to defend themselves?

You very clearly just do not understand what you're talking about.

Jax ,

You wrote

I'm taking a guess and claim that you don't really understand sexism. It hurts men, too, yes. But not in the way you think it does (but rather by toxic masculinity)

I directly countered that. Suddenly the goalposts have shifted and what you said isn't actually what you said.

Stop.

Jax ,

Ah, I see you can't read.

Downvotes don't make you right, donkey.

Jax ,

I will never understand this take.

Logically speaking this is simply incorrect.

Jax ,

That is the way dating apps work.

Jax ,

Shortsightedness driven by greed does not, in any way, negate money equaling power.

Jax ,

Within that isolated society? Sure.

If your goal was to argue semantics then I don't know why I'm entertaining this. Yes, in an imaginary society that is 1) somehow not influenced by modern society and 2) somehow also avoids currency - power dynamics will obviously take different shapes.

Do you realize how meaningless that example is?

Jax ,

And yet, the only person I'm thinking of mocking is you

Jax ,

So you're saying right wingers and leftists are the same thing?

Because that's pretty fucking dumb, just like the first guy who said it earlier in the threat.

Jax ,

What's your point?

Leftists and right wingers are not the same. Liberals and leftists are not the same.

If you had any sense you would have stopped yourself from writing the second you conflated the two.

Jax ,

sigh Comes into a thread in clear defense of someone else, backpedals when challenged.

Such a tired fucking way of communicating, good lord.

Jax ,

His change my mind videos quite literally spawned the meme. His platform became more popular because of the meme.

Do you even know anything about crowder or are you just talking out of your ass?
