If everyone was biking, people would deliberately bump and swerve over each other and they’d still block the streets. Cars aren’t the problem, people are.

If there’s anything one should notice in life, it’s that yes, that is how grown adult humans act.

They’re all just entitled spoiled brats. Their kids are unironically more mature than they are.

Why would you need to ask some stupid chatbot that when you could have asked any one of us?

I know. I am worried that the UK government could force devs to hand over the private keys to those end-to-end encryption apps under this new law.

I would hope no corporation would actually obey something so insane.

We really need some kind of FOSS encryption service that can’t just be compromised like that.

🤔 Do you think they could force devs to fork over private keys to blockchains like Bitcoin?

It’s not actually homelessness people have a problem with, it’s drug addiction.

Then a heat pump won’t do any good. Achieving the right temperature is far more important.

But does it more effectively keep houses warm in cold weather, and cool in hot?

One thing you really have to learn in this world is how to disregard the feelings of other people. Other people’s feelings are only rooted in their own self-interest and they will take advantage of your feelings and manipulate you to get what they want. They’re not even aware they’re even doing it half the time. It is the perennial human condition.

Most people are ugly-spirited, mean, cruel assholes.

You’re better off either just insulating yourself from them or hardening your spirit to better tolerate their presence.

Not every human is like that, granted, but most are, especially online, and I am among that number. It’s not a moral condemnation, it’s just a fact.

Like Elon Musk is an idiot but it’s really almost everyone else on Twitter I am talking about, for example. Most people are predictable, vicious, nasty, mean things and I don’t like them or want to be around them. Their actions speak for themselves.

Especially that which was done to them collectively by the society. The lockdowns destroyed whatever reason we had to believe human rights are actually a thing. We failed ourselves, and future generations, and its toll is such a deep, bleeding wound people are choosing to ignore because they can’t admit the lockdowns were immoral regardless of how serious the coronavirus actually was. Turns out, forcibly locking people inside their houses for years, often with abusive family members, was not wise. Who knew?

I, too, have noticed that actually putting forth logic and reasoning in your arguments is a lot more effective than it was on Reddit. It gives me back some faith in humanity.

Don’t feel ashamed of getting banned from that shithole. It’s always been a pisshole and people need to stop gravitating toward one single instance anyway.

It’s just the human condition. Humans are just plain mean and I am one of them. Humans also can’t get along anymore. Personally I blame the collapse of our society.

Try to give me a metaphorical kick in the butt and I’ll kick you right back. Whether you think that means I need one is irrelevant – if you think that way, you’re the one who needs it.

Sounds like you ought to stop it and think about what you’re doing.

Yet somehow I, the shit person, know how to behave as a mod better than they do, so that tells me all I need to know about them… and you.

You’re exactly the kind of person whose feathers get ruffled upon hearing these words and that tells us all we need to know about you. None of it is good.

Projecting much? Because I am not the one not listening to reason here, it’s you. It’s not just about this one particular douchebag. It’s the principle of the thing, that is applicable to all mods everywhere on every site.

You don’t get to just decide mods arguing with people in their own communities is okay because you find one particularly likeable. You as a user have a responsibility to hold mods to higher standards to maintain the integrity of the community too, and the only one who stands to suffer because of your refusal to accept it is you.
