Tangential: I’ve heard that there are 3D printer people that print junk and sell them. This would not be much of a problem if they didn’t pollute the spaces they operate in. The example I’ve heard of is artist alleys at conventions- a 3D printer person will set up a stall and sell plastic models of dragons or pokemon or whatever. Everything is terrible!

What’s your P(that question has been asked at a US three letter agency)
the passing criteria:
They only pass if they go out of their way to kill a dog anyway.
Please link original source I didn’t see any comments linking it please
maybe there should be some kind of scoring system
If we start doing Awful Gold^TM^ I will die a little inside
dear gods how does one type that with a straight face and not pass out from sheer intellectual exertion
Yeah. One thing I’ve realised since participating in Sneerclub is that when someone comes in thinking it’s debate club and 1. starts saying shit, and 2. you start coming up with counterarguments, and 3. you realise everything you come up with is just first order, basic stuff, then you have to remind yourself that this isn’t debate club, and that this person is stupid, and you don’t owe them intellectual energy.
In this case, in the broadest sense, politics is about getting a bunch of people to do something they might not initially agree with. Guess what a moral framework is designed to do?? Especially utilitarianism, which is literally just economics and accounting with a moral/ethical veneer. And that’s just first order shit!!! It’s not hard to go up the ladder from base theory to reality and come up with all kinds of examples and counterarguments or what have you. It’s just a waste of time with these people! They are either stupid or intentionally ignorant or both.
So yeah sometimes I’m ankle deep in drafting something offsite when I remember “it’s sneer club” and then I stop myself. You won’t convince these people, so just clown on them.
“What do you mean the clock is broken? It’s 12 now, and the clock says 12!”
I just don’t see how all these people come in and get insulted, only not to realise that no one is here to debate them and instead are just finding ways to clown on them. I will never get it. Thanks tho, this was super dull and I regret everything
Don’t worry, utility monsters aren’t real. A utilitarian would say the “benefit” the IDF reaps from doing genocide is completely dwarfed by the suffering they cause.
lol. Utilitarianism requires you to come up with some way to quantify the utility of an action. Such a system isn’t real, so a utilitarian just makes shit up about utility according to whatever agenda they have in mind. Case in point: Zionists, of which EA is rife with.
guess I need my brain re-wrinkled
Nah, just wrinkled.
And what elements of EA makes it a political framework rather than a moral one?
Even if it were possible, it’s not my job to educate you.
saving lives through charity, not the distribution of power, resources and privilege within a society or communal framework.
My stars! Good job googling “political framework”! You seem to be under the impression that charities are a black box that do nothing other than save lives. Perhaps you should look into that.
EA is absolutely a political framework. You're just too lazy or smooth-brained to see it.
Usually that doesn’t involve compelling you to perform that action by any other means than appealing to your desire to be moral.
You... don't know what a moral framework is.
It for sure is morally good to spend any extra money you have in a way that does the most good, billionaire or not.
"Duuuuuuuh it's good to do thing that do most good duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" <- that's you
hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:
