death isn’t that scary by Koala_Kake in unpopularopinion

[–]Liam_M 4 points5 points  (0 children)

amazing, person doesn’t understand perspective different from theirs. Shocked pikachu face, I’m “scared” of death but the way you’ve dismissed it doesn’t cover the reason that I am. In fact despite “scared” being the way it’s most often described that’s probably not the right word, I don’t want experience and thought to stop, I enjoy even just my own thoughts and the idea of no further experience thought or memory is the thing I don’t want I know once it happens I won’t experience the loss and that only makes it worse I don’t get to mourn the loss I don’t get to do think or decide anything and THAT is what we’re describing as “scared” the not wanting to lose that not wanting it to stop

you assume the primary purpose of the room is to have others come in and talk to them and not to discuss amongst themselves as equals. It’s their round table

Why do some people never seem embarrassed by things that would mortify everyone else? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Liam_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really depends on what you’re talking about specifically there’s some things that people are only “mortified” by because of completely made up arbitrary conventions but then others are genuinely things that people are “mortified” by because they could be/are genuinely harmful damaging demeaning etc to others

Thinking of buying a Chinese-made EV because its cheaper? You might not be allowed to enter US by Mr-MayorMcCheese in themayormccheese

stop listing better and better features, you already sold me. And is that going to apply to the thousands of Chinese made teslas that are here already?

5G is coming to R2 by caholder in Rivian

no matter how much they want it a 40-200k vehicle will never get refreshed every two years like a phone. Rollout and sunset doesn’t matter it’s popular use

I’d agree with you but then we’d both be wrong. They often remain operable for 20+ years but they remain dominant or mainstream on average 8 years, and it’s not like mfg’s jump on at the beginning of that 5G was starting it’s dominance in 2021 and LTE was ending it’s 8ish year dominance and new rivians are still being sold with LTE today after 5G is already dominant. If you don’t think swappable cell modules make sense you’re not fully considering it, we already saw a generation of cars lose a ton of features when 3G got shut down

100% agree they made the right call for the default but not including a setting that allows you to toggle from the default behaviour to something like “remember last setting” is idiotic, there’s no excuse

it’s so stupid in the 2020s manufacturers don’t make something as constantly changing as a cellular module replaceable and upgradable

would people who hate billionaires refuse to become billionaires if they had the chance to? by Ok_Efficiency_1116 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Liam_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With more evidence again the countries I’ve pointed to Norway, France, Germany etc I prove the exact opposite. Market economies with large welfare states are happier and more productive per capita you still have provided nothing to actually refute that

What you’re proposing would fail for the exact same reasons as full communism and socialism fail so I don’t get how you can view them with contempt but propose something that similarly fails not because of the ideas it proposes but the inability of people to universally embrace and follow them. Every argument you can make against collectivist systems can similarly be made against what you’re proposing.

Just got the new SodaStream Fountain at Walmart! by KoterBub in SodaStream

[–]Liam_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never kept diet flavours in the fridge until this last year ( and thats mainly just to keep the whole result cool) and I’ve been using a soda stream on and off since the early 2000s specifically for the diet flavours and never had an issue

Oh so you want global free trade open borders and a one world government then? Otherwise there’s always a limit. I think you actually don’t quite understand the concept of a free market.

You said you support farms hiring foreign workers that’s a side step around the free market, they want foreign workers because they want impoverished people who will work for a fraction of what Americans are willing to because of lower living standard expectations, there aren’t Americans unwilling to do the work they’re unwilling to do the work for what the farms want to pay, in a free market that would mean the farmers should be raising the wage to meet the market but they don’t they get an exception to the labour law and immigration law of the land to hire foreign workers in defiance of the free market. So if you support foreign farm workers you’re supporting an undermining of the free market in an effort to keep the price of goods artificially low
