“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•We all bear the burden of our choices...English12·2 days agoyou begin manufacturing explosives in order to demolish all future trolley tracks, trying to ensure nobody is ever forced to choose again. Misunderstanding your purpose, you are arrested, and the people cheer that a terrorist has been brought to justice. Your pleas fall on deaf ears and people insist the trolleys are good, the trolleys are necessary.
True, it’s not a great plan. But it’s not your fault. You can never move on from… the trolley problem.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 monthsEnglish24·3 days agoThat’s the point.
Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.
Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.
The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.
The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.
The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.
But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”
It’s all designed to boost engagement.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
My condolences to your digestive tract…

“what about all the sink pissing Larry has done?” is literally whataboutism.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?English4·5 days agoThat’s fair.
I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I’m literally going for visibility with a name like this…
But 9/10 times it’s a generic name with a default or no picture.
Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lord of the memes@midwest.social•keep arda cleanEnglish13·5 days agoI once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It’s made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Tourists from countries badly hit by Trump tariffs are staying away from USEnglish52·7 days agoAs an American, even the ones that aren’t should stay away. Why visit a place where you might get kidnapped by government sanctioned brute squads and sent to a death camp in another country?
Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.
Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.
And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.
If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•That's punching below the beltEnglish4·13 days agoI’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.
At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.

I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you interview somewhere that you expect would not hire you because of recreational drug use?English12·16 days agoI live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.
I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.
If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.
It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.
Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.
The crayon scribbles of my 3 year old nephew on the back of a soggy napkin holds more value than a mountain of AI slop.
You’re right, you clearly don’t have anything of substance to say.
