I quickly provided a story that would effectively answer the question. It seems to have accomplished its goal: like it or not part of human condition is applying value to things based on human weights such as empathy and pride. Absolutely unhinged idea, I’m aware.

Don’t want children and a semi-fabricated story? Not a problem: let’s talk about a product - an iPhone. Its a fine product and people seem to like it. Some of those same people stopped enjoying that same product when they found out that it was, in part, made by foxcon. The company with literal nets around their roofs because their workers really loved their situation.

There are dozens of examples. I’m sorry you were set off by such a simple story… But frankly - as I already mentioned - that means the analog did it’s job. It invoked feelings which, last I checked, we use when assigning value to things.

If you want to strawman something out of the fact I used child labor in the example… Go burn that effigy elsewhere.

Unhinged how? Its not far from the truth for some industries and could have been equally ugly not using child labor. The point was to highlight how one might have a different feeling about the same product when it has context. I figured that was clear enough but perhaps I was mistaken, lol.

Alright let me make an analog for this - Because context does absolutely matter.

You are buying shoes. (… And have probably already made the connection)

You find a dooooope pair of sneaks. The colors, the lines, the fit. Perfect.

Then you find out your sneakers were made by Ari in a town that has no running water, people shit in ditches, and the median income of a family of 4 buys enough rice to feed 3 people. And then there’s Ari. Ari is 7 and has been working for 2 years already.

How those kicks looking? Do they envoke the same joy?

Who needs a stingray when they built the backdoor right into the actual network.

If you built it… Someone will min / max.

Reeeee… BONG… Bong… ffffffftttttttttt… Bung…

Fffffffffftttttttt…

That’ll do

That’s the reason everyone says they have guns. If you have a map I can go into detail on what that translates to.

More like bottoms… but … what’s the pronoun for someone that isn’t accepted by the human race, period?

Kent State may disagree. It is definitely a cautionary tale. That said: good line.

taptaptaptap… taptaptaptap… taptaptaptap taptaptaptap taptaptaptap

… taptaptaptap

… tap …

… shit I was on a different user when I typed it.

There is a scummy side to humanity that nobody likes to see. I cannot speak for people who defend him repeatedly doing the indefensible: but tribalism is a helluva thing - and we could all do better to avoid it.

Personally? I hope he is dragged kicking and screaming into court where he will be exposed and punished as the traitorous irredeemable scum I believe him to be.

Politicians People in positions of power need to be held to a higher standard and should be scrutinized relentlessly. There are some deep flaws in our system and one would hope that if any good were to come of all of this… we are able to repair the damage done and patch some of these holes (and learn from them.)

You made a post about a subject you were concerned with not brought up in a video you watched - and this part is important - on a thread discussing the video getting improperly removed.

Now perhaps you didn’t read the title completely and became confused… but assuming you didn’t: please tell me how your urgent missive is on topic.

My original response at least provided you the courtesy of a response. You didn’t care for it - but that is perfectly fine. Your type rarely enjoy those sort of observations.

If you are looking to derail things further after losing your original position I’d suggest you stop. This behavior is well documented as a standard method of trolling and isn’t even novel.

instead of

Your topic. Your concern. I covered this. You want to drive the topic? Make your own content. I understand there’s even a transformative method of reviewing content and talking about it. By all means go do that. Your fanatical pursuit of this accomplishes what? Go on - let us all know your manifesto. Detail to us how this opinion of yours, on a tiny thread, on an even smaller corner of the Internet, is making a difference at all in the topic you are whinging about.

You are a poser looking to self congratulate or a low effort troll. You want to make a difference? Go do it. This isn’t it - nor is it a viable path to a solution.

Hilariously this is practically a parallel of that exact situation.

… opposed to the journalist speaking about a topic they set out to cover without derailing things … and still producing in excess of 3 hours of distilled content. You are exactly what is wrong with the current social media. There are thousands of topics speaking directly about the subject you are concerned with. Go partake in those. You aren’t shedding light on something - you are virtue signalling. You aren’t being a good steward - you are being a disruptive cunt.

Are you genuinely going to nitpick a video focusing on the black market for gpus… about not calling out your specific concern? My dude - I’d advise you to find perspective that isn’t up your own ass.

… alternatively if you want to invite a bit of chaos to the interaction: “pal”

Thank you “kindly” scratches the third word itch. Or depending on your flavor of southern: “I appreciate you” or its derivatives.
