I don't think that epicureanideal was asserting that the Holocaust and the Nazi party in general was overlooked--merely that its coverage is perfunctory, glancing at immediate cause and effect rather than the deeper patterns behind it. I, too, am leary of over-emphasizing German atrocities surrounding WII--heinous though they may have been, there is no paucity of savagery in world history; however, I feel as though your reply is, frankly, a very bad faith reading of what bombcar posted.
He appears to be surmising that we're becoming very impulsive in quashing whatever thought appears to impede our immediate policy goals--not that it is the Holocaust in and of itself that is special. (He even goes through the effort of explicitly highlighting it as entirely feasible for a populace to fall to!)
I admit I find the ferverent vociferations against ROBLOX as an entity somewhat disheartening; the game was cynosure to my childhood, providing precious experience to me in learning how to navigate social situations and cope with the rammifications thereof.
Pedophiles did, and do, exist, but this is a fact of life in any manner of social media or large community; discussing frankly how malevolent some may be is imperative, even if it does not preempt all danger posed. The alternative, stifling all manners of creative expression available to those who may otherwise be socially shunted, is untenable to me, as it does not line up with what my experience growing up using this technology taught me.
Nothing in life is without risk--exposure to this risk over a platform that's online, somewhat discoverable, and insulated is vastly preferable to keeping your kids blissful and unknowing of what would threaten them. Please do not attempt to parent in such a way that motivates your children to hide things from you and cut you out of the loop entirely.
I've had extensive experience with gifted and magnet school programs through the 2000s to the mid 2010s--as an anecdote to account for this period in my area, (the Mid-Atlantic US,) I found that a fair portion of my classes were immigrants and people of color. It may've been the case that racism was endemic to gifted programs in the 90s, but this was not my experience in the slightest.
They also state, however, that the drones are typically high enough to provide little disturbance prior to descending for the drop. Regardless, this doesn't primarily confuse me; rather, the hostility to the idea of delivery coffee writ large.
I understand the noise in the video is fairly unpleasant; however, others within the thread with more experience with the technology have testified that they are not, typically, perceived as this disruptive. (Whether due to the rotors straining less when not countering a raven/crow, or simply due to the frequency band of the phone microphone exacerbating the worst qualities of the sound.) Many express rancor about the very concept of delivered coffee--not merely the practicalities of it, and this is intriguing to me.
It's somewhat baffling to me that there's such a large pushback against getting coffee delivered via drone, and I don't see many reasons expressed as to why, exactly, this is iniquitous--could somebody explain this in greater detail to me, please?
