The company that I work for has an employee only website that posts about changes to our software and employee engagement stuff. Employees can post comments on things but it’s always just a handful of pointless platitudes (“Thanks for the information!”)

Bill Gates could say that he “spread riches among the poor”
Not if he gave $1 million to one person, then took it away and have it to someone else.

I said spread, not share. One would not consider peanut butter spread on bread if you put it in one glob and then picked up and moved the glob somewhere else.

Could you spread all then empathy across everyone evenly, and then increase it by about 10%?

So what do I, a common shlub, do to resist this? Boycott Steam and itch.io until they reinstate the games?
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 3 weeks ago:
Well I think you’re old enough now to learn that not everything that gets created will be in the exact format that you specifically prefer. Some things will be made with other people in mind as the target audience and if you want to enjoy it you’ll have to engage with it in a way different from your own personal preference. It’s all part of being a grown up.

Why post it to youtube in that case?
“Why isn’t this text?”
YouTube has more accessibility and reach.
“Then why isn’t it an audio file?!?!?!”
Fucking what? You seem to just be upset that this exists in a way people will access.

- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 5 weeks ago:
your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical.
This you?
you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.

If you’re argument requires everyone on the road to be a psychopath you might want to reconsider it.
You also haven’t been listening, perhaps you’re too busy ranting about “psychopaths” to pay attention: I’ve already said if someone is doing the speed limit and gets hit it is the fault the person speeding. However, I’d much rather not be in an accident at all than “be right” and not the person at fault.
I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.
-
that’s not what you’ve been saying. You’ve been repeating “slower is safer” over and over and it was trivial to provide an example that made that argument absurd and untrue.
-
that statement is making a lot of assumptions. The primary one being that the speed limit is set accurately and appropriately. Again, if some politician decided “in the name of safety” to change the speed limit on the highway to 10 would you be arguing against increasing it because “nobody needs be doing more than the speed limit”? Would the people doing 20 on the highways now be psychopaths because the sign on the side of the road changed?

You’re in the wrong argument.
Looks like you’re in the wrong argument. The person I was replying to has repeatedly been saying “going slower is safer” and that is what I replied to. It was trivially easily to provide an example where “going slower” is 1) absurd and 2) more dangerous.
If that is not their argument then they need to stop repeating it as if it is and say their actual argument.

We are looking down on the mattress and it is casting a shadow on the step below it. If we were looking up at the mattress it would be casting a shadow across the stairs in front of it.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 5 weeks ago:
Yup, I’m sure the highway is much safer if everyone is traveling at 10. However, if I’m the only one traveling at 10 I have made the highway much more dangerous.
I’m advocating for not being a fucking idiot and causing an accident because in theory it’s safer to travel at slower speeds.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 5 weeks ago:
It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.
That’s still a distraction. Even if they don’t intend to upload the entire recording they are paying less attention to the road in order to pay attention to their “performance”.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 5 weeks ago:
Cool, they are the ones that will get in trouble for the accident that I am still involved in. I’d much rather not be involved in an accident then be “right”.
Is this about safety, or is this about blind adherence to the law?
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 5 weeks ago:
If everyone is driving that fast and there aren’t accidents happening consistently then the posted limit does not reflect the reality of the road.

We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don’t interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren’t enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It’s a sickness.
