Since knowledge is woefully inadequate, this would necessarily boil down to “treat others as you assume they treat others,” which is exactly the moral standard already followed by trigger-happy cops, ICE agents, MAGAs and bigots in general.
Is that really the best you can do?
As far as the Golden Rule goes, it’s immensely improved by framing it negatively - do not do unto others as you would not have done unto you.
Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.
This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame
Um… yeah
China’s been playing the long game for over 3000 years now.
The game that Stardew Valley blatantly copied - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
It was made for the GBA, so has straightforward and precise controls, with none of the irritating camera or targeting complications that come with making the game 3D.
There are other later games in the Harvest Moon franchise with better graphics, but like Stardew Valley with a gamepad, they tend to have irritatingly imprecise controls. Friends of Mineral Town, with its isometric 2D, doesn’t have that problem.
I think ATProtocol is doomed, so no.
Bluesky got too big too fast and has too many greedy corporate weasels already involved. For the time being, they’re pretending to actually prefer an open protocol, but I think that’s just a marketing ploy and it will never last. They’re going to EEE it sooner or later.
$200 million for a hideously tacky monstrosity that nobody other than Trump even wants.
I used to wonder how it was that obvious lunatics like Hitler ever got the support they got, but watching it in action with Trump has revealed at least part of the answer. The supporters generally don’t start off that insane, because the tyrants haven’t fully revealed their own insanity yet. Their insanity is revealed piecemeal, and their supporters - who are too invested to back away - keep shifting their own views to accommodate the increasingly obvious insanity of the tyrant, and thus end up insane themselves.
Bribes and ideology determine supreme court cases.
That’s my reaction broadly to hate.
Even beyond the fact that it’s destructive and ugly, it just seems like a pointless waste of time and energy. I don’t get why anyone invests that much time and energy into being miserable, and especially over something that can’t possibly really matter in their lives.
We actually live in a world now in which the President of the United States explicitly states his intent to overtly violate the first amendment and the media just repeats it as if nothing of any note is going on.
It’s not intended as a pejorative, so its perceived weakness is irrelevant.
It’s a precise term with a very specific definition in international law, and that’s the point.
Israeli terrorists have just taken 1500 Palestinian hostages.
If so, then to which specific instance(s) (or more precisely, local mirrors of instances) would replies be sent?
In the sense in which you’re framing it, it would likely be more accurate to think of it as spectrums and subspectrums, in the same sense as sets and subsets.
Yes - that’s another good example.
Even on a very simple level, that’s harmful to oneself, because all time and energy spent vainly trying to control things one cannot control is necessarily time and energy not spent on the things one can control.
Stoicism, properly understood, is in my opinion the only possibility humanity has for survival.
Unfortunately, stoicism is rarely properly understood.
Virtually every institutionalized societal evil exists at base because some number of people are stubbornly clinging to the delusion of control over others.
As but one example, while the wave of trans bigotry exists because some number pf people believe that they should have the authority to control other people’s gender identifications, at heart it exists because those people believe that they can do so. That’s the foundation upon which their ever-more aggressive attempts are built. It’s really not a matter of whether they should or not - they literally can’t.
Stoicism would’ve already informed them of that fact, and would’ve informed them of the harm that’s done - not merely to others but to themselves - by ignoring that fact.
Props to anyone who’d name a cat Ryo-Ohki.
If only it was a cabbit. Or better yet, a spaceship.
prompting concerns that he may have fled to avoid facing trial.
May have?
It was guaranteed that that was exactly what he was going to do, and they knew that when they released him.
Politics, in any form.
Corporate, in any form.
Police, in any form.
Military, in any form.
They all - I believe that institutionalized, hierarchical authority is rather obviously inherently destructive, and I couldn’t willingly take part. In fact, one of the things that perplexes me the most about politics in particular is that there are people who do willingly take part. I can only conclude that their brains are broken in some fundamental way such that they don’t see or don’t care about the harm they inevitably do.
I just think it’s funny that “AI” (which is “artificial intelligence” not in the sense of “human-made” but in the sense of “fake”) is contemperaneous with Trump.
This is going to go down in history (if humanity survives long enough) as the Idiot and Lunatic Age.
Of course he won’t stop - he’s arrested at an emotional age of about 14.
He’s effectively a permanent chuunibyou, and the only way out of that is to outgrow it and he long since failed to do that.
