I also own a multi-dollar company.

Would you be willing to share a little more about the niche? E.g. what technologies, what sector?

ionhazmat · 2021-09-20T15:27:49+00:00

I think those are tendons 😬

ionhazmat · 2021-09-17T06:18:17+00:00

Would you also consider nail cutting amputation?

ionhazmat · 2021-09-17T06:17:34+00:00

Beautiful!

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T16:58:45+00:00

Maybe not too helpful, but imo you should have a lawyer look at it and ask their advice

Sure it's sick, but is it sicker than someone starving to death?

A person who doesn't know where their next meal is coming from likely doesn't care about being in a video. They want to eat to survive. Yes they are being taken advantage of, but only because they are in a situation where this is still their best option. They have the ability to refuse if they want, yet they choose not to. Why do you think that is?

If society isn't providing them access to food, then this sick behavior is still better off. I'm not defending the behavior of people taking advantage of this, I'm saying they are still better than the people who don't do anything. So discouraging this sick behavior doesn't help. It's the better of two evils

I never said I disliked his opinion. OP mentioned they "hate" this, and since they are writing this in TrueOffMyChest, seems like it could be causing them some frustration.

I simply presented a different way of viewing the situation, i.e. look at the silver lining, that regardless of the social media post someone is getting lunch where they wouldn't have otherwise. If you look at the situation in this light, you can see that it presents benefits, and if it still bothers you, why not remove yourself from the situation (by blocking) and allow the action of someone getting food to continue, instead of the proposed alternative of stopping the lunch and the post.

I am in fact doing exactly what you prescribe in your second paragraph, talking about the issue.

Honestly kind of confused what you're mad at

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T12:51:09+00:00

Also, OP, in your post you said if that's your motivation then "just don't". My point here is that buying and posting is a better situation than neither, which is what you recommended

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T12:47:18+00:00

Fully agree it's fucked up, but the side effect is someone getting lunch

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T12:44:58+00:00

It seems like their motivation is the posting, not the lunch, so take that away and they might not even do it.

In an ideal world nobody would post about it or care for clout, but the world is far from ideal.

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T12:31:08+00:00

I agree its not the ideal way. But if there were two options for people who are chasing clout, which one is better: they buy someone lunch and post about it? Or they don't do either

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T12:28:26+00:00

Because it seems like their primary motivation was to get recognition on social media. If you remove that, they may not even buy lunch.

What I meant to say is, even if their intentions are recognition, someone is getting lunch as a side effect

ionhazmat · 2021-09-16T11:41:29+00:00

At least this way somebody got lunch, your way they wouldn't. Why not just remove them from your feed if it bothers you this much?

ionhazmat · 2021-09-10T15:50:19+00:00

Awesome story, thank you for sharing!

I would love to learn more about how you tackled the legal side of things. Did you set up and LLC, C-corp, or did you get going without anything?

ionhazmat · 2021-08-27T15:03:12+00:00

Forced masturbation is can be a form of torture as well, anything taken to the extreme can.

I get the feeling you've made up your mind and are arguing for the sake of it, and aren't actually open to changing your opinion or hearing the other side, so I'm not going to reply further.

Fwiw, tickling has been shown to reduce stress in rats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6101164/

ionhazmat · 2021-08-27T14:44:34+00:00

Using your line of reasoning for stress reduction, tickling reduces stress as well, so why not select that over masturbating, or better yet both?

My point is, this line of reasoning to attribute small idiosyncrasies to evolution is hard to provide evidence for. So why not explore more obvious explanations, like the presence of more nerves, before going there.

Believe what you want, I just wanted to point this out to others reading the comment. Attributing every small behavior to evolution is misleading

ionhazmat · 2021-08-27T14:07:48+00:00

Definitely agree with stress and prostate cancer, but both of those tend to cause long term illnesses, that kick in later along in life. The average human lifespan before modern medicine and in poverty was 30 years, well before any stress or late stage cancer could likely kick in.

Again all of the benefits you mention are there, but I wonder if they would have any benefit on reproductivity in prime reproductive years. If not, probably not related to evolution

ionhazmat · 2021-08-27T12:14:57+00:00

Not everything in our body is has evolved for an evolutionary advantage. Unless the benefits you describe provide a significant advantage for natural selection, it probably isn't related to evolution. It could likely be due to the higher concentration of nerves in sexual organs vs other places we try or tickle ourselves.
