You just made it seem much more appealing.

In what context where both are available are emoticons objectively better?

They're objectively not.

Yes, and? I don't believe these are replacing any existing infrastructure, but are for places that have no infrastructure for the internet. They could drastically improve things in those areas, and if those place became a warzone sometime in the future they'd probably be pretty fucked with or without proper land based infrastructure.

You're missing the point entirely. The person I was originally responding too was saying that evan though awful things were done to people it's fine, or justifiable because "millions" benefited from them. If you don't understand how something like that at its base level can be applicable to modern times, that's a you issue.

It's not the specific actions taken or the setting/environment, but the attitude of the ends justifying the means if there's a net positive.

Oops, got my wires crossed with who I was talking about. But my point still stands.

You can have any opinion that you want, I haven't said that you couldn't. I was disagreeing with your opinion and expressing my own, you wombat. That's how discussion works.

I bet you think you're taking some sort high road to the effect of "oh I just state the facts, I'm not telling anyone what to think," while conveniently ignoring the part where the way that you report these facts, or which ones you leave out can very much influence the conclusions people reach.

You stated that Alexander killed many people, but also his actions benefitted millions of people. These two things put together in the way that you did will lead an uninformed person to he conclusion that it's fine that he killed people because it benefited many others. And maybe that could be true in some contexts, but you completely failed to mention the fact that he didn't just kill a bunch of people, he executed defeated peoples and sold a whole bunch of people into slavery, which would naturally influence the conclusions a person could come to.

Yes, and? Have you not gotten to the part in your schooling where you look at history to see what can be learnt from it?

So the ends justify the means? Inflicting untold suffering on one group of people is fine if it benefits another one?

They literally said it pushes those things when not logged in. So when YouTube doesn't know your tastes it pushes things like that.

I don't know. I don't think that's something to be left for an email.

Screenshot? What are you, a goldfish?

That's a fair reaction to the state tbh

The fuck are you talking about? It was always used as an insult. Just because more people were willing to call people slits doesn't mean it was actually acceptable in actual polite company.

30 minutes is not nearly long enough to get to anything convoluted.

Jokes are supposed to be funny?

New Zealand isn't a part of Australia?

Nowhere did I say kids shouldn't do whatever they can to escape abuse, I wholeheartedly agree with that. I was addressing the fact that the original comment was saying that there should be no consequences regardless if it was an abusive environment.

These "silly teen things" could have very well ended with themselves or someone else dead.

You would trust random idiots on the internet to give you medical advice? How fucking stupid. People have died because of bad advice given on the internet, and you want to encourage this?

For every "miracle tip" there's at least 10 fuckwits giving potentially dangerous advice.
