The “netiquette” for platforms with these kinds of functions has been that downvotes are for comments that don’t contribute to discussion, are rule-breaking, needlessly adversarial, etc.
It makes sense, because downvoting hides comments from other readers. Doing that to respectful contributors who you disagree with will turn this into a platform filled with circle jerks and groupthink.
That may be why you’re downvoting, but I’d wager most people are downvoting because they disagree with what that person is saying. Besides, do you downvote arguments you agree with when they aren’t backed by factual evidence? Do you think the others do too?
And it shouldn’t matter if their arguments come from emotion rather than facts – shouldn’t discussions of ethical matters take subjective things like emotion into consideration? They’re engaging and contributing to discussion in good faith. Downvoting that kind of stuff is how we end up creating circle jerks and groupthink.
And some humans are uninjured in some low intensity collisions.
Big Gun was really worried that COVID deaths were going to outpace gun deaths in the country during the pandemic
Could have sworn I saw some articles saying it’d get better in 2027
I don’t recall ever reading that. From what I remember, it was always “It’ll be bad until at least 2027”
I disagree with you, but I disagree more with the people who are downvoting you for sharing your opinion.
You’re engaging in conversation and debate respectfully, and people shouldn’t be downvoting you for that.
If YouTube is a side hustle, for example, it could become passive income if you continue to earn income from content you created previously
I miss when reading from top-to-bottom was standard. Now, occasionally, we have to read middle-to-bottom-to-top-to-middle.
For me, the Windows key stroke can often be part of the next few letters I’m searching for, and my machine is a mid-range (at-best) build from 2020.
And that was before I installed an app that gets rid of most of the junk in the Start menu, turning into just a Search field with a power button! Lol
I can pull up the system menu, type in a few letters of what I want to launch, and hit enter to get it started in less than 2 seconds, without having to open or switch windows to a terminal
That’s what I do in Windows, but I hit the Windows key instead of Enter
So you want to be as bad as Israeli interrogators?
I’m not sure, I thought we were imagining a fantastical world
There are open source and documentation about how the GB works online though, right? I don’t think it’s impossible for AI to have at least assisted.
AI art label. Vibe coded cart?
Actually, let’s just remove the ability for humans to be injured in collisions. That’s probably easier.
Because the smaller goal is more achievable and is a step towards the bigger goal.
Saying “let’s not even try to go for the more achievable goal because it’s not quite enough” is counter-productive.
Anything before the boss that just killed me
Hah, that’s news to me! I had always interpreted it as meaning something like “specialized” from context
Thank you!
Wasn’t the top commenter suggesting “esoteric” means “false”?
Even if you’ve been immunized against measles, check your immunity status. I had to get a booster because the scheduled one didn’t stick.
