I remember playing “you don’t know jack” and someone accidently hit the buzzer before the question was even on the screen. The host said “okay smart guy, think you know the answer before the question is read? Go ahead.” And the game gave them a blank screen to type their answer into.
I love that, I’m going to have to look that up
And there are far more dollars in 11 billion than 100 million.
59 seconds is 1000000000000 pico seconds away from a minute, so I’m not sure you could say 59 seconds is “so close” to a minute.
My bullshit that genocide can get worse and that’s bad?
All I said was “more genocide is bad”. I can’t believe people would disagree with that so hard.
Cool, so you’re just arguing things you don’t believe and only admit to that when you recieve push back.
Doing nothing while a genocidal political takes control and does more genocide: action!
American exceptionalism strikes again.
“Everything America does directly affects everyone else in the world. You only care now because of this. I cared before and that’s why I did nothing to stop this.”
Cool, what are your doing to destroy the country faster? Or having you convinced yourself that inaction is helpful?
Right, all my posts about more genocide is bad means I don’t care about anything.
Great contribution.
The meme is the trolly problem, and this guy is saying “it doesn’t matter if you pull the lever, someone dies either way, it’s exactly the same!”
Except in the actual situation is more like “if you pull the lever the trolly will divert from running over group A and will run over group B. If you do nothing the trolly accelerates and runs over both groups A and B.”
I’m saying it’s worth pulling the lever while you work on a solution to stop the trolly. Someone arguing against that either doesn’t care about group A, or cares more about not being involved than in actually saving lives.
“you are constantly complaining to me about your boyfriend and he doesn’t seem to listen to you. Why are you still with him?”
Saying “but Trump will do more genocide” makes you sound like a fucking idiot.
Tell me you don’t pay attention without telling me you don’t pay attention.
“Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground”
You cut off the rest of the sentence: “When the alternative will only result in more.” Your problem is you fail at context, everything exists in a vacuum and has no affect on anything else.
Biden could have stopped it
Use better language then.
he party is dead to me just like the Republicans. Two corpses fighting it out
On the corpse people are living on. Americans throwing up their hands and saying “both are dead to me” just accelerates the rot. In all these posts of people insisting trying to minimize damage is unethical I haven’t seen a single one trying to push for an alternative or a fucking solution.
“Everything is bad and if you get involved in any way you are evil. If you are a good person then do nothing, that is how you stop evil from succeeding.”
People don’t want solutions, they want to bitch endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also bitch about nothing improving!
People in my life get the benefit of “are you looking for solutions or are you looking for empathy?” Randos on the Internet don’t get to use everyone else as free therapists.
I installed Mint on my MIL computer. I did not have to spend time teaching her anything. People are able to switch from Windows to Apple no problem but for some reason Linux is
learn a new OS, that’s a steep cost
“have you considered using Linux” can be said as someone genuinely trying to help. An OS isn’t a fucking agenda.
I’ll happily do it for $1 million a year and do a hell of a lot better than musk. Considering the difference between $1 trillion and $1 million is pretty much $1 trillion I’m basically working for free.
