Well, do you want to be right or do you want things to change for the better?

I don’t think anyone should have to engage with these people if they don’t want to, but something like 40%+ of the population are more or less OK with the way things are going. Humiliating someone, even if they had it coming and it’s entirely justified, tends to make them very defensive and double down on their position.

Is it fair? No. I hate it. They do not deserve grace in a lot of cases in my opinion, but when dealing with people and human nature I often find I have to decide between being right or being constructive. I am no saint. If the stakes only really involve myself, I’m probably more inclined to be a self-righteous sanctimonious jack wagon more often than not, but at these scales I think we need to be realistic. Acknowledge that it’s not fair we have to do this work, and then do it anyway.

That has been my position all along. I think the best thing long term is if shit gets real bad really quickly. The slower the decent the longer the suffering will be overall, and the less people are likely to notice and remember.

Probably the one where I was in a relationship with the woman I loved more than anyone I ever have and we had an amazing life together going on adventures, making things, blowing things up, and generally just having fun with life and not taking it too seriously. Then I woke up…

I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

You answered your own question. They appear to have determined that there wouldn’t be demand.

That’s not really how it works, which is made apparent in the video. Without going into details, IF they decided to pay for all of the product to let the buyers decide and it turns out the buyers are not interested they may not be able to recoup that cost and go out of business.

He also killed Hitler to be fair /s

Onward we march in goose step with history

But why should they have to? They had nothing to do with it.

Wouldn’t that be unfair to the developing country?

I’m logically aware that’s the case for other people, but I find it perplexing why often times. I was sterilized in my mid 20s, and I haven’t ever regretted it.
