  • I understand. Thanks for this response as well.

    This reminds me of conversations I have had with someone specific in my past. When a seemingly crazy person on the street tells me they want to stab me, I don't care if they probably are just saying stuff. I hustle out of there and maybe call the cops. Someone I once knew did the opposite. Always assume they won't do anything and pity them. I can still pity them, but I'm not taking any chances there.

    I'm not saying you're like that person, I'm only saying that if someone tries to express ill will, I'm likely to take them at their word, out of caution if nothing else.

  • Obviously this is a super semantically oriented discussion but I don't think it's a stretch to say human in this context really refers more to the role. Humans can control other species in that way, like an extra terrestrial also likely could have.

    I'm not saying I agree with the idea, I'm just looking for a way humans could be "invasive"

  • No not really but reading a thread of comments from parents about "what I'd do if they did this to MY kid" is VERY VERY disturbing and it makes it seem like being a parent is bad for the soul. Now go ahead and explain to me how mentally healthy it is to actual welcome the opportunity to torture another human being.

  • You aren't exactly wrong, but nearly all of this (besides the precision point) somewhat applies on desktop as well. I think op has a point that what's happening on android is weird because most browsers don't flip out when you try and select text on desktop. I don't think the pointer method's lack of precision explains it fully.
