I edited and deleted my comments, and then got banned. I figure they’re not going to resurrect potentially tainted comments for training AIs.

1. this isn’t an image macro / meme template

2. this isn’t how the humor of a meme template works. This is the same joke, worse. This is just stealing a joke.

It’s your claim this was produced with an image macro??

This is a butchered rip off of an actual joke.

Remember when everyone was so upset about losing Brazilian rain forest? Turns out we’d all rather have Big Macs.

Ah, the golden age. I dunno, I was running FreeBSD. It was awesome. It still is.

“Ethical” does not mean “good”, “moral”, or “right”, it means something more like, “consistent with an explicit set of ethical axioms.” It’s meaningless to say something is unethical without stating or at least implying a specific ethical philosophy.

Carnism says that it is sometimes acceptable or even good to be cruel and violent to animals. Veganism says that it only is in cases of absolute necessity.

It means that the harms have been considered and a meaningful attempt at balancing those harms according to some ethical framework has been made.

It isn’t so much a front end as a privacy-enhancing proxy service. You can’t participate, you can only consume. If our governments are going to conduct their interactions with us on fucking Twitter, we need services like this. Or we need our states to stop neglecting our need for online infrastructure and punting to capital interests.

If they wanted your money, it would have been released as shareware.

The goal for Python 3 was to be an all purpose language that the general population could use for their everyday computing tasks

What do you mean, “didn’t do it?” It was a famously successful intervention that has been copied around the world. Obviously it didn’t cause every single smoker to quit, but it had a measurable beneficial effect.
