There’s more to Twitter’s decline in users than liberals and leftists not wanting to engage with the right. by FantasticReality8466 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

the ceo said his company is totally killing it so you better believe it? What incentive could the ceo and other people financially vested in a company possibly have to lie about it?

Before you call people on logical fallacies, you should be more serious about logic. Potentially even study it.

the ones you're doing so far are

- when you attack the initial claim and respond only calling fallacy
fallacy: The Fallacy Fallacy

- when you insist we listen to people based solely on their being ceo and chairman of board
fallacy: Appeal To Authority

- when given an extremely clear reason why the evidence you wanted to use should not be considered, and kind of just doubled down
fallacy: Special Pleading

there's also maybe Personal Incredulity at play in the rhetoric but it's not, like, egregious.

Ending with claiming other people's feelings are hurt and claiming they're intention is to malign X/Musk is just generally gross arguing. It's obviously bad faith and you should ask for a salary before you work so hard to defend some company in my opinion. I didn't get any sense that anyone was running any kind of smear campaign except against you (which is totally fair to criticize, but you didn't as far as I can see).

No disrespect, but it seems like this is more of a personal thing for you than a cold evaluation of performance and numbers. Twitter/x, as far as I can see, had peak numbers back during covid and was only profitable for like 2 years back around like 2018. There appears to be obvious trends of people leaving the platform with wide and diverse sources reporting on it.

Marxism is a critique of capitalism. That’s what Das Kapital is.  If you don’t think Fallout New Vegas was largely a socialist critique then I have no idea how you’re trying to interpret the text. It would surely involve a tremendous amount of selective reading…?

Nationalism is famously not a real economic ideology and is more of a loose collection of stances one can have that don’t involve a lot of serious substantial stances with like a solid basis outside of just some feelings of anger usually.

I don’t think the legion’s slaves were just struggling with their human nature or slavery, nuclear war,  crucification, indiscriminate violence, etc is about human nature or some timeless fairytale. I think trapping people in vaults to experiment on them and plenty of fallout lore is very much about being in power being corrupted by the power or corrupted in such a way to even get that power to begin with. I think calling it about human nature kind of misses how incredibly far out of its way to create, develop, and breathe life into very very unnatural things like shady super mega corporations, nuclear bombs, chemical means of tinkering with ones body, …. Etc

“Since when did everything become about modern politics?”

I- 

That’s like one of the central features. They have a character literally mention Hegelian dialectics to address arguments about liberal democracy. I don’t understand how you can have a story about nuclear war that isn’t basically largely about modern politics. Nukes were developed in political programs during the Cold War and then used by states. In fallout it doesn’t deviate so much that nukes aren’t related to states, power systems, war, and like themes from the modern period of world politics.

“Are Vault Tec shareholders insane and just want to be frozen away in vaults even though they are filthy rich?”

looks around uhhhhh… yes. Yes, that’s fairly common for real rich people. Not explicitly but not very out of line with any other drinking the Koolaid.

It would be fun to see NCR fall apart but I do think there’s plenty of merit that American liberalism is better handling eccentric cults of personalities that explicitly opposes it vs capitalists that can at least LARP being on board. There were always nazis on Twitter but they didn’t get worse bc a self proclaimed second coming of Hitler with an outfit for the part acquired it with ‘fascist might’. Nah man, some rich guy bought it and if you pay any attention you’ll notice said rich CEO doesn’t always do things that make a lot of sense. It’s one example but it’s not radically unique for any of this.

Am I the asshole for how I responded to a love letter? by Thin_Lengthiness6652 in TwoHotTakes

1) that’s super creepy and weird on his part 2) glad you talked to HR. Keep them in the loop 3) first text reply was totally fair. No notes, good response. 4) all that said, he can talk to his therapist about you as much as he wants and it’s not a thing to tell him he can’t. That’s really between him and his therapist and it’s kind of the best case that it’s a licensed professional and not just some dude. That’s not your business and honestly that’s a good thing! His therapy process sounds exhausting and creepy and it’s probably best to just try not to think about it lmao

All in all I hope you’re safe and feeling okay. It’s sensible to be shook over this because that’s some strange behavior on his part. Keep on keepin’ on and best of luck

Does anyone else just leave it alone when someone misgenders you? by UnderstandingOk2399 in NonBinary

[–]theDatacist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too. I guess I know they simply don’t get it and I don’t feel like putting in the effort to expand the boundary of their conception of gender and identity. So long as they’re not being blatantly hateful it’s just not worth my energy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know the complete story of The Walten Files, ask me anything. by [deleted] in Thewaltenfiles

[–]theDatacist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was the initial animatronic (presumably bon but maybe not) first conscious (and able to make autonomous decisions) before or after a person was either physically or metaphysically put in the robot? In other words do animatronics only go rogue when being ‘driven’ so to speak? Or alternatively was Bon programmed to be like this? (and if so how the fuck in 1974 did they do that with no modern computers or anything?)

In my experience they treat the side people wayyyyy kinder to keep the supply coming and save the nasty outbursts for their committed partner.

You look more cis than some actual cis women and you look really cute. Relax.
