The issue is believing that everyone has a right to their beliefs but then attacking them. It's like in cultural anthropology: you should only judge a culture by its own internal morals and standards and not impose your outside view when studying them. Kinda like Star Trek Prime Directive.

If you TRULY believe everyone is entitled to their own morals, then you're breaking that when you criticize someone else's. After all, they have their own morals system and you're perfectly fine with that. Your morals can only include your actions. If you believe that your morals are objectively the best, you're no longer thinking the first thing anymore. It's subjectivism vs objectivism.

For the people not getting it:

  1. They treat morals as opinions.

  2. They also treat their personal opinions like they're the absolute best opinion.

Another way:

They think everyone likes different ice cream flavors and that's fine. They like Rocky Road flavor. They also think anyone who doesn't is a monster.

Convictions are one thing. But they need to be logically consistent. Saying morality is subjective but you're evil if you don't subscribe to my personal version is illogical.

So again, this isn't for day to day use. It's for extreme situations, like being on top of a mountain where laying lines is difficult and warzones where explosions are constantly destroying your infrastructure.

You're speaking out of your ass. Even if we just talk about the US, "most people already live in an urban area" is false. Have you seen the Midwest?!? Rocky mountains? Appalachian mountains? You're so beyond ignorant of the issue and you just keep doubling down.

You should stop before you continue to expose your gross ignorance on the subject.

You realize the most significant use of satellite internet right now is Ukraine, right? Like you're aware that this has almost nothing to do with the US and is about starlink/Elon fucking with Ukraine and the internet they provide the military fighting in a war. Right? Like you're not that oblivious, right? You're not jumping in here suggesting they lay cat6 in a warzone are you? Cus that would just be foolish and make you look like a jackass, which I'm sure you're not.

I meant 9 as what the last one is titled. But I get your point

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

It goes to 9. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

EDIT: 8 to 9. There are 10 comics, but numbered it goes to "9" in the title.

Lol I was thinking of that as well. Exactly. If you can't rise yourself to the level of shoe throwing at the bare minimum, wtf are you even doing?

In Europe they would have thrown shoes at him. You can go through all the metal detectors in the world, but you'll still have 2 shoes. Just sayin.

Exactly my point. You're acting like I'm already eating luxury foods and not only what I can afford. Telling people who are already struggling "hey, rice and beans are cheap!" is the most overdone advice and shows how oblivious you are to the actual issue. You think I'm over here eating steak every night and complaining it's expensive? Hell no. I'm eating cheap shit and barely affording that.

You have very strong "avocado toast" vibes fyi. You seem to think that the problem is what we're eating as if we have enough money to be buying luxury foods in the first place. I'm already eating the cheapest, calorie dense food I can. If I could eat a nutrient paste gruel every day with 100% nutrients that was dirt cheap, I would.

My point that even if you had all the supporters you needed right now, the current plan is basically "let's crash the economy" with no forethought on what happens next. How do you crash the economy AND prevent new monopolies from forming in the wake AND not starve half the population to death in the process? No one ever addresses the second part, which is why this is exactly like the screen cap.

Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you'll find they're actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn't even there. You're just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?
