I’m just gonna pretend that I didn’t hear the “without harming yourself” part and go absolutely all out on giving my all just to please others with no regards to my own well being because I only feel like I have value when I do things for others and not intrinsically like you’re supposed to feel and it feels too weird when people do nice things to me just because which I then in turn reject to give more of myself to others :3

Wtf, what is this heresy, this isn’t monster! /j
I’m very disappointed people are making fun of the kids, honestly. It’s like people forgot how this is the exact same situation as when we were kids, with the older people making fun of us
I was hoping that the cycle would have been broken with the internet, but I guess not
It’s just the next step in the evolution of language, humour, culture, and expression, it happened before, and it will happen again. Except it will be somewhat different this time with the internet allowing complex, instant, and global communication. Things will certainly change and develop much faster than they used to. This to me, however, is just exciting more than anything else, I love novelty and new stuff
I mean, queer people use about/among themselves sometimes. Over time it might get more reclaimed like “queer” was
But it will take time, either way, and some people will never be okay with the word, as they have too much bad association with it, just the same as with “queer”
I sometimes use it for comedic value, though relatively rarely. I avoid using it among people who I don’t know well, though
Why would it never be easy? There’s no fundamental reason for why it can’t work as well as on windows, or any other operating system
I mean, the trolley problem is just a starting point. It’s literally one of the simplest thought experiments
The next set of thought experiments goes something more like “say you have 5 people in need of organ transplants, and 1 health person with those organs, do you kill them and take their organs to save 5 others?”
And even later you got another like “there is a dirty nuclear bomb in the middle of the city, and you got someone who you think might be responsible, do you torture them to maybe get a way to defuse the bomb out of them?”
And so on
The trolley problem is literally just a starting point in philosophy class, the experiments get more elaborate, closer to the real world, and less certain as you move towards greater understanding. Until at some point you just deal with real issues such as abortion or animal welfare (like whether veganism is the morally correct choice, which is a lot more controversial than I think it ever should be, but I digress), and the shortcomings of ethical systems and which ones maybe come closest to our intuitions (and then you got philosophers such as Hume which thought that our moral intuition is the only thing that matters), and so on.
Things are a lot lot more nuanced than just the trolley problem, and there are some really tough bullets to bite for utilitarianism in thought experiments. Or at least showing the need to rework the system somewhat, but then it isn’t just a simple “best outcome” even in clear-cut situations.
In practice though, nobody really follows a strict ethical system, and it does show an interesting problem of trying to codify morality into a rational and consistent system. And we get to these edge cases typically by thought experiments, and then try to go from there. Breaking our theories by pushing them to the limits.
But while nobody follows a strict system, you still see elements of these systems in people’s behaviours and choices. Such as maximizing a moral quantity (utilitarianism), or doing what is considered to be a good person thing to do (virtue), or Kantianism, or any numerous of subcategories and other systems which don’t fall neatly into the typical categories. But, for example, in hospitals under triage, they typically follow a kind of utilitarian system
As far as I could tell, it was never intended to be a serious quote, especially because the person saying this was the literal villain that was being portrayed as not sane
I don’t see any houses on the mountain
She says this as if the far-right doesn’t constantly belittle, cuss out, diminish, put down, and spread falsehoods about their opponents and minorities
It is however also worth noting that lines of code is a not great metric for complexity
But yes, as a casual comparison it’s interesting
stop feeding the trolls
Like what? The newspapers that called her trans and said she didn’t have any place in the sport??
So should bigotry just be ignored then, even when it’s mainstream? Just look the other way?
Nah, it’s definitively lust, in my opinion anyway
Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps
It was obviously gonna happen sooner or later, tbh I’m surprised it took this long
That’s a clever curse, because if you’re a good and thoughtful person you have nothing to worry about
Although if you struggle with mental health it may be… a bit rough
After all, nature is evolved around being undisturbed, there are no people taking leaves out in the wild after all
Human actions are an unnatural influence, so unless those actions are in deliberate aid to nature, it makes sense that it’s going to disturb the natural order of things more than anything else
Speed limits are not bs. The energy of kinetic motion increases with the square of the velocity. Double the speed, quadruple the amount of energy. That matters.
