  • Ah, to be clear, i am not saying the workforce deserves the death sentence. Absolutely not. But i do think that ceos of companies that consistently make decisions tbat harm and cause the death of millions of people deserve a harsh form of punishment. And whilst i wouldn't personally say that it should be death, i also dont have a problem with someone else believing and acting upon that belief. I would have more reservations on the type of punishment, but i dont think a more pragmatic approach is necessarily the wrong approach.

  • I dont think you should be forced to sell it. But it does defeat the purpose of making a new medicine. Like who is it for, if not the general public? But in terms of costs, that's not a fair argument because the US pays significantly more for the majority of drugs due to lack of government regulation and insurance companies' negotiating prices.

    I dont think i can agree about your assessment of the cliff problem. I accept that you are not to blame for the situation, but given that you are now the only person who can help them, does that not create an obligation for you to act? If you then choose not to help, you are condemning them to death.

    The judge passes the sentence but does not swing the axe. Is he less culpable than the executioner?

    Would you also argue that since the judge passed the sentence, that the executioner is not also reaponsible for the murder, despite carrying out the sentence?

    I think there are distinct parallels here.

    Insurance companies who deny healthcare for arbitrary reasons should be held accountable for that. And i personally believe that even the workforce should be held to some account. I know jobs are hard to come by, but your own moral compass must be faulty if you opt to work for a company whose sole purpose seems to be harming people who need help.

    Agree with your last point. Private for-profit companies should have no place in healthcare.

  • You think that not helping someone up who is clinging onto the edge of a cliff, about to fall and die, is not as bad as pushing them off?

    Sure, its not my fault that they are holding on, about to fall. I didn't put them in that situation. But here i am, fully able to save them, nobody else around to do it instead of me. Do you think that i am less guilty of killing them if i refuse to help them?

    Heck, they are even paying me money every month to ensure i dont fall off cliffs. They will even have to pay some of the money it costs me to pull them up from the edge.

    Think about what you are saying mate... thats fucking ridiculous.

  • Wait? It,s the left that's in a cult now? You know that's how children argue, right? "I know you are, but what am i?" Is a bad look for you.

    Tell me, in this cult the left is in, who is the leader? Who is at the head, feeding the masses the mantras?

    Seems like there hasnt been a leader that the left has fully trusted in many years, even decades. Likely evidence that they are thinking for themselves and not just following the bullshit of some pedophile dementia patient.

  • From a budget phone to a flagship?

    Yeah, i can see how the difference would be night and day....

    Regardless pixel is a great series of phone if the OS works for you then stick with google phones.

    Personally i like samsung. Even if they have gotten pretty shady. Since i owned the s2 years back i have always found myself liking samsung.

    Tried nexus 6, tried the OG pixel which i liked but ruined when i dropped it in a barrel filled with potatos and water. (No k wont elaborate, its more fun to leave you guessing)

    Tried huawei and enjoyed my p20 pro and p30 pro but once the fold 3 came out i was back with samsung. Got a fold 6 now and am very happy.

    If i recall, since the advent of smart phones, i went: Sony xperia x10, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S4 mini, Google Nexus 6, Google Pixel, Huawei P20 pro, Huawei P30 pro, Galaxy Fold 3, Galaxy Fold 6,

  • Since when did gfx cards need to cost more than a used car?

    We are being scammed by nvidia. They are selling stuff that 20 years ago, the equivalent would have been some massive research prototype. And there would be, like, 2 of them in an nvidia bunker somewhere powering deep thought whilst it calculated the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

    3k for a gfx card. Man my whole pc cost 500 quid and it runs all my games and pcvr just fine.

    Could it run better? Sure

    Does it need to? Not for 3 grand...

    Fuck me!.....

  • It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?

    Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)

    My personal experience has been one of:i am unsure of my sexuality and unsure of my gender. Eventually, i decided that I wouldn't focus on what gender or sexuality i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.

    I know who i am, and i know what i am. I dont need a label to feel secure about that.

    Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.

    Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.

    Was anyone else disappointed when they found out the FTSE500 wasn't a giant game of footsie?

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?
