I fart in your general direction!
Lunch box vendors around the world:
Great victory, due to our efforts nobody has flat sandwiches anymore!
Also we have no potential customers left so we'll go bankrupt
If you work for a boss that fundamentally misunderstands what you are doing, then misleading them into thinking you're 'hard at work, making decisions with consequences' is the theatre you put up to keep the cash flowing.
It's one of the fundamental flows of autocracy, people try and represent what you want them to
I can see how that makes coping easier. And follow your agreement for a bit.
The grasmower argument doesn't gel with me, though. I can't release human agency that easily. I mean one doesn't have to anthropomorphize a human being, as they are -well- a human being.
But on the ethical side of this much debate is possible. It hangs on the free will/ determination side of debate, not really one end all answer.
Your username is incredibly apt here
I do agree with that, but you can't say there wasn't awareness on his side.
While I follow some of your argument I cannot entirely absolve the self in matters of addiction. It is a medical condition, but I wouldn't call alcoholics who drive under the influence and kill a person not responsible for their actions., therefore drowning in a drug induced stupor has a function of responsibility in it.
I'd argue it didn't happen to him, but he did it to himself. A sad way to go, for sure, but he was well aware of him doing it.
It's a good read, really worth clicking through to the blog ( https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/blog/security/seducing-a-romance-scammer.html )
I can't wait to share this with my Lemmy girlfriend Nicole 'the fediverse chick'
If he dislikes it so much, he can just leave the EU.
I've always had that dislike. I even do not wear clothes with text on them as I feel like I'm constantly saying that. Often the texts designers put on clothing is nonsensicalb stuff. F.i. Hollywood, I'm not from there, I've never been there, why would I want to say Hollywood the entire day?
There's surprisingly little overlap between text people put on clothes and what I'd like them to say but there's a shitload of clothes the people feel like it needs some text on it.
Anyway that's my pet peeve.
Musk found out that the people that like him now, after pissiing off the nerds and tech enthousiasts, base their world view on the works of Ayn Rand, who peached that empathy and governement help is bad.
Disregarding that Rand died penniless and on governement hand outs.
But musk will find out again that, no matter how much money he flings at it, nobody will like him for who he is and that void will eat him up though it may make him do more silly things. And That's a shame
