“Haha, weird”, I quip dismissively, as I check my profile to see how many upvotes my comments have

If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?

He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you’re still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.

Algorithms, mate. Algorithms…

Except that they probably don’t think that.

However, they might think that a professor exposing himself to his students is an abuse of power and sexual harassment, due to the local cultural consensus around what that specific action means, and the unequal relationship between teacher and student.

Good! In a culture that worships cops and “thought leaders”, this is two steps up from meekly accepting whatever powerful people say.

Now it’s time for:
(3) Acting on your ethical convictions towards specific goals, and learning to work with people who share them, even when their motivations or values are different.

P.S. As others here have stated, (1) and (2) are not contradictory. If morality is constructed, then we all construct our own. Unless you actually WANT to be an amoral bastard.

For what it’s worth, I agree with you in this case, and I’m sorry about your Dad. I hope he sees reason soon.

sizzling hot take: all political parties end up as tools for elites to capture power

truly a bold and newfangled idea, surely only a few radical extremists could buy into it. surely parliamentary socialists in Meiji-era Japan, for instance, would never derive this dangerous concept from first principles

I wonder - what is the actual audience for approval rating polls?

The folks most affected by high prices or mass layoffs are probably struggling too much to have the time or inclination. Around 30% of the country didn’t even show up for the election, they probably won’t show up for these.

Who does that leave us with? Can we really assume that ‘47% approval’ translates to ‘47% of all Americans approve’?

Underrated AF.

You know, I spent a lot of time today obsessing over how bad the world is getting, and wondering what the point of it all is.

This. It’s this. I stick around for the weird motherfuckers who’ll do shit like this, and share it on the internet.

If I must live through yet another apocaplyse, I want to do it with you.
