Then the new owners were only doing it for the money.

As opposed to what reason for owning a factory??

The pay WOULD be astronomical if it had kept pace with CEOs, that’s the point

Kind of sucks when you outsource all of your manufacturing …

It’s kind of awesome for everyone if you don’t piss off your trading partners. It happens in the first place because it’s better for everyone involved! It’s a consensual arrangement that parties only engage in because it is in their interests.

I will never be needlessly cruel or violent to a vulnerable individual. Most people do it at least three times a day.

…and at no other time.

lisp makes my brain relax

Humans didn’t become effective hunters until after we started using technology. We’re not evolved for hunting. We have the biology of herbivores, for crying out loud! The more meat we eat, the younger we die and the more diseases we experience. [1] [2] We’re evolved for running, sweating, speaking, and eating starches.

Inducing consumption of meat, and corrupting people’s scientific understanding of our natural history and biological needs, is exactly one of the goals of contemporary capital.

Whatever you eat, something has died for it. Yes, even plants.

Okay? So what? That’s irrelevant, and I think you know that. I think you are just trying to distract yourself from processing ideas and feelings that are inconvenient for you.

No one is against the death of any living creature. That’s a ridiculous straw-man.

You cannot be cruel to a plant. You cannot commit violence against a plant. You cannot commit atrocity against a plant. These are things you do every time you buy an egg. Plants DON’T HAVE EXPERIENCES. The experiences of animals are real and matter.

It’s funny how plants rights advocates only seem to exist in the presence of people appealing for compassion to animals. Funny, transparent, and pathetic.

Do you know why people don’t have empathy for animals? Because they are cowards. Experiencing the feelings of creatures that you abuse so heartlessly HURTS more than you are even willing to understand. So you just block it all out and pretend it isn’t even happening. You make stupid little arguments that ignore the point, just to distract yourself from thinking about that very point. It doesn’t matter that you’re making the same arguments that have been refuted a million times before, because you are not interested in engaging in good faith, you just need a distraction.

From your own fucking cruelty and violence. Never allowing yourself to even consider that you can JUST STOP being cruel and violent. Because then you’d have to admit to yourself that you’ve been manipulated into being a monster all your life.

How many eggs do you have to eat before thoughts of the violence and cruelty you are committing impinge upon your consciousness?

Psychological theory advances every year, but we don’t get more resistant. Not only do we all have basically the same brain, but our culture is gradually shaped to prevent us from having unprofitable ideas, like that mercy and compassion are values that area genuinely important to cultivate.

No media/communication company supports your expression of your rights.

Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit. I use LibRedirect to rewrite any reddit links to proxies that only work about 15% of the time, and it really discourages me from even bothering…

… and you believe that it’s because they are a “CLI person” that they are unable to be honest. Because that’s a thing that a sane person would say.

Why is it so hard for CLI people to be honest?

Interesting if unseemly glimpse into your psyche.

Wow, you have absolutely captured the spirit of the thing. Nostalgic!!

See, in my mind, a CLI is a line buffer-based interface, whereas a TUI is an interactive character-based interface. sed or bash is CLI and vi or rogue is TUI.

The alternative to memorization is the analog to “hunt and peck typing” where you just search the whole fucking screen/program.

courier gets you another 15%

If you’re going to make something a thing for me, please make it en flique.

Exactly. Every time I see the phrase, I want to go all “disco ball”.
