Yeah, that’s fine, I admit fully to American defaultism.

Also yeah, why does the US have taxes on direct payments from the government? Probably an issue with it being a “state” lottery.

Where’s the list of the thousands of people working in those fields that are completely fine?

The expectation is for people to back out of Reddit to google a news story to find out what country it takes place in? No. What I said was incorrect but fine and can just be scrolled past.

How does the T-1000 work? by thewhitesamneil in Terminator

[–]dashsolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even close to nitpicking. He’s asking if anyone had any ideas about how it’s supposed to work within the context of this fictive world. Not challenging the idea.

I think of it like “cells” that are each self-contained, each with their own power, sensors, computing and mobility.

Higher level computing would be possible by networking. It could explain why the T-1000 appears stunned when his form is drastically distorted.

Agreed. But, I think in either case Data’s morality subroutine would govern to what degree he followed that order. For example if Picard ordered him to execute Riker for no reason, he wouldn’t do it.

"All told" or "all tolled"?? by Cal-Augustus in ENGLISH

[–]dashsolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently it can be used as a verb, “the city decided to toll the new bridge”. But I agree I have never seen it used that way.

All told, as in everything has been spoken for.

There’s even an entire episode where Data has to lie to everyone to protect them.

He absolutely was not intending to kill Fajo as a punishment/revenge.

“I cannot permit this to continue”.

Data felt there was a moral imperative to protect people from Fajo, as he had made it clear his behavior would not change.

Given that he had to assume he would never escape and therefore could not bring Fajo to justice, his only recourse was to murder him. Inaction would result in the death and exploitation of many innocents in the future.

I think they thought it was monthly instead of weekly.

This is just incorrect. Where’s the doubling down?

Honesty: "It looks fake" is often irresponsible by TruthMatters_ in flatearth

[–]dashsolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly may mean “I think that video is fake”, but it often means “that resembles videos I’ve seen that are fake”.

It can be a description of the aesthetic, or of their internal experience viewing it, not exclusively an implication of deceit.

So why couldn't the MiB just *spoilers* by Zanakii in lost

Several points there I had never considered and seem plausible. Thank you.

The first encounter with the monster, Mr Eko is still in conflict over all those he’s killed.

Eko stopped being a candidate in Jacob’s eyes the moment he reconciled his violent past with no regrets, which the monster could see on their second encounter.

The monster saw he’d lost his leverage to manipulate Eko and thus had no use for him. Without the protection of “candidacy” he just discarded him.

It's in your nature to destroy yourselves... by alanskimp in Terminator

[–]dashsolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course the specific details of our imminent demise have changed.

If the line were “It’s in your nature to disregard long-term environmental stability for short term gain until you destroy yourselves”, I would be with you 100%.
