Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.

If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.

Is it easier than not doing that?

The existence of scalpers means demand exceeds supply. Pricing them this high is a countermeasures against scalpers…in that Nvidia wants to make the money that scalpers would have made .

Others have explained it (places where social interaction is the primary intent - not home and not work) but I’ll add - old European cities (and most smaller towns) have some sort of public square. Many have lasted to this day and are still used. We can still build them, we but our chosen form of urbanization isn’t that conducive to it so we don’t. In North America in the 80 and into the 90s, malls we’re 3rd place. Then they started aggressively going after loitering in malls since simply sitting in a mall doesn’t produce economic activity. Many malls died and many are still dying. Those that survived achieved the - nobody goes there to chill anymore. Just to buy what they need, maybe eat, and then leave. Nobody plans to “meet at the mall” anymore.

Does that even work?

That only makes sense when the reporter can easily verify the central premise of the controversial issue. For something like climate change at best they can report that there is a very large academic consensus that greenhouse gases released due to human activity are causing an increase in average global temperatures. They can’t themselves examine the very large body of data that leads to that conclusion. Public understanding of not only the scientific method but the scientific process is crucial, but the press themselves can’t do that.

But didn’t realize that there was time dilation involved.

They knew there would be time dilation. They literally discussed it just before they went down there. They just thought they could get it done in a few earth-years rather than decades.

None of that amounts to this:

If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t then what kind of morals are acting on?

The reasons this was justifiable have been explained to you ad nauseum. You insist on pretending like its an arbitrary whim despite that. Do you cry every time a drug cartel kingpin gets shot?

See better.

If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t

That’s not the situation, nor what anyone is asserting. Who are you talking to?

This meme would be better if they managed to get Larry Bird to be the guy in it.

Is commander in chief an active military position?

I think it’s specifically not a military position. The president being a civilian is how in theory the military must operate under civilian control.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but Paul’s shots didn’t even seem like they had any power behind them. He won on points obviously because Tyson was drained but it felt like even old man Tyson could have just stood there and tanked those weak-ass punches.

Disclaimer: all I know about boxing I learned from Rocky movies.

I think this is just a roundabout way of blaming the Jews.

Still a better love story than twilight.
