Exactly, as also evidenced by the guy who was brutally murdered just because he was the CEO of a company someone had an axe to grind against.

> My contention is that the consequence of a bad decision shouldn't be condemnation. Who said that? To pre-emptively respond before you misrepresent my position again, nobody said that the solution to people making bad decisions is

I make, have made, and will most definitely make plenty of bad decisions. The difference is that accept responsibility for their consequences rather than electing to yell at the clouds.

I don't know man, if your position is that the only point of society is to bail you out of bad decisions, you are too far gone for me to have the energy to get into a discussion. You are entitled to your opinion I'm not going to a

Sounds like a very selfish viewpoint.

I only need a valid argument when responding to a valid argument. You have made none thus far therefore I’m entitled to respond in kind.

Don’t know, just just made an argument from authority and I’m discrediting said authority.

Yeah and then when something bad happens to you, have no money and be a burden to society! Extremely responsible.

I am not poor but I am not rich either, why do you make assumptions?

Sartre was a nihilistc pdf-file and a prolific liar. I don't have any respect for his ilk either.

No, making policy out of your personal preferences is a dictatorship. Making policy by taking a representative majority of preferences is a democracy.

We don't care about your personal preferences to make policy though.

You can speak for yourself, because you know nothing about my background and your ideological bias leads you to embarrassing assumptions. My family until my parents generation were dirt poor in one of those countries you would also call pis

I mean that the people who brought the person to life are responsible to make choice that will ensure theirs long term survival. e.g my grandmother had a brother who their brain stopped developing at a very young age (afaik 5), the parents

> "you made bad decisions in the past so now you deserve cruelty" Somebody will have to endure cruelty when someone makes bad decisions. The question is whether the cruelty will be received by the person making the bad decision

The wrong decision is not being insured for disaster and not saving enough when you were able to work, electing to spend the money instead. Not being unlucky with your health or having an accident. That's clearly stated in my original

A mindset like this has led to my TV taking 40 seconds to boot and glitching/lagging just during simple navigation, even though its hardware is about 10,000x better than what got us to the moon.

So much equivocation that it makes this article unreadable.

No, my position is that you cannot follow the law a la carte. Moreover, morality is not objective, therefore anyone can claim that any particular law is against their morality and think it's justified to break it.

The law does not state "you have to pay for this, unless it's inconvenient".

I was using the word 'sacrosanct' in a figurative way.

by meta_gunslinger 3mo ago
That's not true. Roman citizenship was sacrosant, there was even a war during the late Roman Republic time between the Romans and allied Italians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_War_(91%E2%80%9387_BC) fought

I’m not sure what you’re aiming for here. You’re making an assumption that in an alternative history that unions did not exist working conditions of that kind would not exist. This assumption does a lot of work and needs substantiation. e.g

Worker here, with no aspiration of being a millionaire, a manager or an owner: I hate unions. They always end up being led by parasites that have no idea how to do the actual job, looking to rent-seek on the backs of people who do.

It's the scientific slash managerial state brought to you by Anglo-German leftist thinkers of the 19th century. Enjoy utopia.

The functionally correct code could be rejected in PR for many reasons other than style: 1. Solution under-engineered/over-engineered. 2. Code is hard to read or comprehend. 3. Design/Archtecture lacking. 4. Principles decided u
