“I waggle my dick in front of my brother and he punches it every time”

From OPs context, and they could certainly clarify, but it sounds like they just won’t shut up about class struggle, wealth inequality… For which for the terminally online there is an endless appetite for and you can find a cozy echo chamber to nuzzle up in.

So his brother doesn’t share the same views on Elon musk.ok. he obviously knows this by now. Why does he insist on asking about it? Why ask a question that has no bearing on either of your lives where if you don’t get an agreement on you’ll be so mad you’ll not go to their wedding when you know the answer ahead of time.

They’re both assholes. He shouldn’t go to the wedding but honestly based on the context as presented I don’t think the brother is going to be upset about it.

You can do whatever you want with your own life, but many of those things will make you an asshole.

The question posed is “will doing the thing I want to do make me an asshole”

Yes it is, and saying it isn’t is normalizing a terrifying thing.

The crux of your argument is that someone isn’t lying is nobody believes them. Ergo, Donald Trump isn’t a liar.

This is the EXACT fucking playbook you see in Russia and North Korea. The way you are thinking right now is SPECIFICALLY how dictators WANT you to think. It excuses lies and paves the way to the concept of there being no such thing as objective truth because everyone is lying anyways, but they’re not even lies because you were never going to believe it anyways. You’ll just exhaustedly shrug and choose a dissonance that’s a lower energy mental state.

That’s irrelevant. When he says “I believe X”, he is professing that he believes something. Just because we know he’s lying doesn’t mean he isn’t saying it.

That kinda logic scares the hell out of me, btw. People are just so numb to it that it’s like their brains are short circuiting.

So what you’re saying is he professes to have beliefs which he doesn’t actually have?

Would be nice if open-source aggregators like Lemmy allowed users to “Subscribe” to community developed algorithms.

I’d love to (attempt) to build an “ethical” algorithm for content sorting, have it be open-source, and be able to have clients use it without having to actually modify the client itself.

It LITERALLY doesn’t matter.

Long haul drivers HAVE to sleep, required by law. Why? Because if their fatigue impairs their work, someone is likely to be seriously hurt.

IDGAF if they’re kids or not. IDGAF if they’re professionals. IDGAF if they’re being paid a million dollars an hour to do it.

It’s an issue of safety to have anyone working after 48 hours of being awake.

I’m worried that they’re working 48 hours without sleep then I actually have a pretty big issue w/ that. Voluntary aside, these are kids, they’re in a dangerous situation AND now they’re fatigued.

If they’re working 48 hours without sleep then I actually have a pretty big issue w/ that. Voluntary aside, these are kids, they’re in a dangerous situation AND now they’re fatigued.

You have to get people hooked on your product, though.

If they and every other AI company just evaporated no one would really be bothered.

You can’t capitalize a market that doesn’t really exist.
