  • Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.

    To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.

    In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.

    Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?

    Or is the guy being downvoted because he’s being an ass, not because he’s wrong?











  • Ok, sure.

    "Suicide isn’t “awesome,” and “good on her for sticking it out” in the context of suicide would pass as ironic edgelord humor 20 years ago on 4chan.

    It’s terrifying that the exact same action, when done in a way that’s “clean” and legal makes people say things like that that presumably nobody would say otherwise. Setting up a legal pathway for suicide doesn’t change what it is."

    Yeah, the admitting it’s suicide is the only thing you have an issue with. Nah, you have an issue with all of it, you just wanna argue your way around it. Anyway, have a nice day.



  • The thing with suicide is that there’s always at least a second person. If you do it the assisted way, you do it with people trained and willing to do it to help you. If you do it the old fashioned way, you traumatize the person that ends up finding you in whichever place you decided to do it. And then there’s an ambulance or some other service that comes to pick up the body, etc.

    Assisted suicide is better for everyone involved. There’s no question about it. As others have said. There’s no reason why we see euthanasia as humane but not assisted suicide. It’s the same. Even more humane because the human can consent, the pet can’t.



  • Psyop is a big word. Overblown, maybe, but definitely not a psyop. Just because there’s no evidence that they’re getting murdered doesn’t mean what’s happening is ok.

    People are more likely just uniformed, like the vast majority of people everywhere. And it’s easy to distrust america when they’re all over the news with their fucked up stuff. And despite all that they’re still above 50% with russia and china not much higher, so… Whatever.



  • Because when you give most people the choice of convenience vs privacy, they’ll choose the thing that they can feel 99 times out of 100(convenience ). Most people don’t care about metadata because first of all they have no idea that’s even a thing, let alone what it does. And they’re not visibly affected by it. The difference between using signal and Whatsapp for the vast majority of people is the fact that one is green and has everyone you know on it and the other is blue and nobody besides me uses it.

    But, if you give signal the convenience of being able to use it with everyone, then the choice becomes “do I wanna use this app that my friend is saying is spying on me or do I wanna use the secure, hacker app?”

    And hopefully, more and more people will switch and we can be rid of fucking meta
