My gut feeling is you didn’t hook a programmer but a debate pervert (maybe shouldn’t have dropped the D word lol). Some people hear that word and turn they minds off cuz debates are simply a game for them to win. I’d just let this one swim brother

My brother in Christ, you first.
The govt had a warrant:
that required Google to provide information on all devices it recorded near the killing, potentially capturing the whereabouts of anyone in the area.
Reiterating my point, it’s just as useful for the govt to not pass laws to protect private harvesting of our data as it is for the corporations selling it.
Yeah kinda sets up a dangerous quid pro quo situation where the govt gets to go around due process by asking nicely and so has no incentive to improve privacy rights
Cuz you asked me to talk you down here:
If you expand upon the ‘trite’ phrase “theres no ethical consumption under capitalism” (which itself is talking about how capitalism as a system can not be ethical since any product you buy is owned by a company who “steals” most of the value the workers provide), there is also no ethical work.
in other countries and historically in the us, unions sought not only fair wages and compensation but also representation at the Csuite. The ability to affect the policy of the company.
But that’s long gone. How does one who hopes to work for a “ethical” company go about it? What is they are alright but one of their vendors is shitty? A company they choose to contact with? What if they merge with a shitty one 5 years after you start?
I’m saying, if you want to be talked down, How is what you’re asking of people even possible? I can’t even keep track of who owns the food i buy anymore! Speaking of, these ethical workers are gone burn out studying unethical companies to work at, be sheltered by and buy food from. that reminds me that yeah, there’s the whole thing about people needing to work to eat.
Don’t blame the little guy, they been using that trick to split us a loooong time. Blame them, those who have the power.
cringecollective.io eh? I haven’t noticed that comm before
Could be down to their location. I mocked my gps to a place i guessed would be expensive (Long Beach CA) and got this
if you asked a ceo of a game company wouldnt he tell you he works in game development? also, it was a joke :)
at some point you just have to ignore these games at a personal level and satisfy yourself with the knowledge that a dozen or so high quality games get released every year, even if they’re swimming in a sea of hundreds of crappy freemium over-promoted titles. Don’t worry about the Whales. Just focus on what’s good.
agreed. I focus on my personal happiness rather than thinking i can change the industry somehow through my purchases. I just focus on my own pride as a gamer and human being and not paying companies who don’t respect me or my time. Then instead of being frustrated by the fact 20 years of ‘voting with my wallet’ didn’t work, i am filled with calm satisfaction at not being taken for yet another ride. and shit, its not like i’m denying myself here… there are so many games.
wait, did microsoft own bethesda back then?
the 10% that said they do? The CEOs
If it’s unclear, this is a hypothetical conversation between me and a Facebook user. Is there something you could say to an existing Facebook user to get them to change? Context is “convincing, effective arguments”.
That’s all well and good to say to me, cuz i agree with you, but that line is useless to someone who is on a social media platform because others are, and it is easy, and what they know.
These extra choices, the free ones… They gonna work as well as what they’re using? No. We’re not talking about netsavvy folks here. Can you rephrase your previous comment into one that is convincing for someone like that?
Hell, related topic: even Lemmy.world, the largest instance i know of is affiliated with Meta in some way. Do you block Lemmy world? I don’t. I used to but was missing too much. So who would i be talking down to these folks?
"this company is evil” is way too esoteric for most people.
Good point, and to push their argument further… what company isn’t? If they used that rebuttal i would have nothing to say.
Nothing really matters
Thank you, one of those someones is me. Now i have a new dude to peep (and i should read camus).
Edit for the void: one page into ‘The Plague’ and I’m getting chills.
Like gay people sitting in chairs rainbow sits how it suits
That song is awesome though except when you forget yourself and sing it around strangers
I wanted to say that outfit slaps also, glad i found a homie to agree.
Somehow it makes his face even more slappable though. Mannnn can you imagine how good it would feel to hit a stinger on that gob?
Happened last night yeah. Ive been stunned there isn’t more in the news yet already, but the day is young.
I think TDogs ear got hit?
Booooo joke ruiner booooo
it’s all good
