Obviously I don’t want industrial chemicals in China’s groundwater, either. You aren’t actually interested in good faith discussion, but you do seem to enjoy being angry, so keep doing that I guess.

Yeah, why aren’t we destroying the environment in Europe more? This is a great question. Kids these days have it too easy. They barely get any lead in their water.

That’s nice. Maybe in 500 years we can forget about race. Right now there are lots of people who are actively, intentionally racist, and as long as they are around, making race taboo just means you give cover to such people.

They aren’t actually making a claim. It’s an emotional appeal to “free speech” absolutism, whatever that means.

I don’t see the problem here. Do we want bigots to feel free to spew their hatred unopposed?

Yup and they totally exist and are in no way a fever dream of special forces cosplayers.

Cement releases a shitload of CO2. In what world is that a vague link? It’s literally the definition of the issue.

So then Facebook engineers aren’t very bright, or are incredibly deluded. Either would explain some of the behavior we see.

How much do you value truth and justice?

Yes, it’s a bad idea. Their product is shit, their engineers are shit, the leadership is shit.

5 mile diameter ~ 20 mi^2.

SF is proverbially 7x7 = 49 mi^2.

You’re right. I would bet the CIA is at least a little less starry eyed about the “good” they do in the world, compared to Facebook engineers.

Yeah it’s very exciting to work on the best ways to spread misinformation, incite division and ruin democracy. Or maybe they’re pulled in by the charismatic CEO-bot?

Maybe it would be less acceptable if white people hadn’t produced so many atrocities against nonwhites. I don’t feel sorry for them.

Cool anecdotes. I still want to see ditches full of the bodies of trump supporters, and nothing will change my mind.

His firing was him getting off incredibly easy. He deserves much, much worse.
