Go reread my comment, because I specified multiple genocides.

Yes, exactly, I’m glad we can agree on that.

Are you upset when you step on a rock?

Well that’s really beside the point isn’t it? My question was whether I could be upset about two things, not if I should be.

Be upset for the AI, but don’t you dare put in the same sentence as genocide.

Well the article doesn’t mention genocide or Israel/Palestine, and neither did I. So I’m pretty sure it was just you putting it in the same sentence.

My question was more a critique of a common comment on social media. It’s frequently gets upvoted to the top just like yours was, and I never understand why. “Oh you’re mad about X, well you should be mad about this extremely loosely related thing!!!” It happens in so many threads and usually has almost nothing to do with what the article is about. I just don’t understand…

Bring on the downvotes!

Is it okay to be upset about both issues, or am I only allowed to be upset at one?

Edit: That’s a lot of downvotes for just asking a question. Never change Lemmy…

he said they have a word for it

I’m curious what the word for it is.

Who do you suppose they are marketing to? People who want to die? People who want to see an extinction event?

I’m sure there were, but… ::: spoiler spoiler MONEY!!! :::

I will never understand this take.

I want to know what Joe and Eileen Bailey think of this.

The No paywall link doesn’t work for me. I get a “404 Not Found,” and when I go to their main page I get a generic “Sorry! If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider.”

Anyone else having this issue? Removepaywalls.com was working fine for me up until about a week or two ago.

Billionaires do give a fuck. They just don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves, and maybe close family/friends to some extent.

If I were to hazard a guess I’d guess billionaires fall into 3 camps regarding climate change. Those that still don’t believe in it or that their will be any consequences. They are probably in the minority of billionaires (I do believe most of them believe climate change is real at this point, but their unbridled greed won’t allow them to admit it in public).

Then you’ve got the billionaires who do believe in climate change split into 2 more camps. Those that are so old that they predict they won’t live long enough to see the large scale consequences effect them, and thus don’t care. Finally, those that are young, but believe they can save themselves, without having to help save the world. Those are the billionaires building underground bunkers and compounds. Planning to ride it out from their private utopias.

Citizens United strikes again!

“Scorching motion?” Good god, does everything need to be hyped up to eleven?

Oh god yes! I like to jog in my neighborhood at night and whenever one of these vehicles with super bright lights drives by I literally have to stop in my tracks because I can’t see a damn thing in front of me. It’s even worse when I’m driving!

Not sure if you’re straw manning me, or what. Because your reply doesn’t have anything to do with what I said. And if you think my original comment has anything to do with religion, or it’s defense, you’d be very wrong.

Uhhh, what!?

And if you keep Byntleigh Destini Starr, or Jysis Saves Smith … You’ve probably earned it

The victims are the people being given these names. You are the blamer, because you think they’ve “earned it” because they haven’t changed it. My original comment had absolutely nothing to do with the article…

Your argument boils down to victim blaming. 🤷

Judging people based on the name their parents gave them at birth seems like a poorly thought out idea.

Remove Paywalls link

Firefly is better imo, but it does have the “advantage” of only having had one very good season. Would Firefly have kept the same quality or better over 6 seasons? Who knows. We’ve all seen shows with excellent first seasons that later drop in quality (Altered Carbon for example). Regardless, The Expanse is a great sci-fi show that is at least worth trying out if you liked Firefly.

Thanks, wasn’t paywalled for me.
