Morality is only made complex because humans like inserting their ego into things.
No, all morality is are the behaviours that benefit us as a social species, put to language and culture.
Why is rape bad? Theft bad? Indiscriminate killing bad? Because if we did these things we’d be unable to use our unique species’ power to overcome hardships and thrive; creating and maintaining social groups that allow for the division of tasks.
Or maybe she’s born with it.
Or maybe it’s maybaline.
I see a lot of drama here in the thread, people decrying data leaks, how Discord is very very bad, and a number of people wanting the “good old days” of forums.
Yes. I like forums too, but, uh…
These researchers scraped publicly posted messages. Keyword here being “public”. How would anything similarly public, like a forum, be better?
I actually remember the times when forums were at their peak. I hung out on BZPower for Bionicle things, and the Relic News Forum for Homeworld modding. You know what they had? Google bots that scraped messages, looked for certain words, and populated websites with advertisements based on what it could scrape from forums.
Pretty sure Lemmy doesn’t do encryption either, unless there’s some very special, private Lemmy server that nobody has access to. So the researchers could’ve just as well scraped the fediverse.
But I want something like Discord. Just not corporate owned…
This isn’t “whataboutism”, this is pointing out a “pot and kettle” situation.
Trump’s administration is all bark and no power. They’re only making their own citizens progressively more miserable, while the rest of of us treat him exactly for what he is; a big orange aged clown with a bunch of dillusional followers.
Spineless, incompetent wannabe dictators. I’ll enjoy seeing their cope as they claim their plans are working out great.
Meh. This is the first I’ve heard of this in a very very long time.
I’d argue The Matrix Trilogy, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Lord if the Rings Trilogy have had far greater cultural impacts. They’re referenced quite a lot, especially The Matrix.
Ever since Brexit I think it’d a little late for that.
As the “kids these days” say:
Cope.
Europe created something called “the platform work directive”, or something along those lines. Basically means that platform jobs (i.e. Uber, Wolt, Just Eat) can no longer operate under a so-called “freelance model”.
Basically, if it looks like you’re hiring employees, you must give them contracts like employees (along with everything that entails).
It’s already been agreed upon, so it’s a matter of implementation. It’s considered a “pillar” of the EU now, so being part of the EU means having the directive. Deadline for the implementation, as I’ve heard from 3F Copenhagen, should be 2026.
I can’t wait.
I wonder what even defines a world war anymore.
There have been several major conflicts in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, ISIS) that has involved a significant portion of the world and their armies. So why don’t those count as world wars?
Or does it only count as a world war if it happens here on European soil?
Yeah, I threw up a little when reading that.
Sounds like the Catholic Church, alright. But I’m pretty sure the MAGA crowd doesn’t give a shit about that.
The amount of conflict has really escalated in the world…
Whatever is a “poor choice” for the MAGA movement is a great choice in my book. Even if it’s about a religious figure.
No. Nope. Not at all. People from Tazmania are called that. Literally have a music friend from there who calls himself “Tazi-tech music”.
I’m kind of amazed how many unvandalised Teslas there are here in Copenhagen.
It’s mot that we hate teenage girls (and women) so much. It’s just money. Soulless, apathetic money making.
A teenager is in a vulnerable state. Some more than others. But self esteem, self worth, and existentialism are things that a teenager as, at the very least, a brush with.
An emotionally vulnerable person is more open to suggestion. Religion does this a lot. Advertising is no different.
Now we just need Earthfox and Airfox, so we can have our own Avatarfox.
I haven’t watched TV in nearly 20 years, and it’s still the first thing that pops in my head when a bunch of "maybe"s are listed off.
Now you get to suffer with me! :V
