None of the ways of dying in wars sound particularly appealing to me; instant disintegration doesn't sound like the worst of them

If we're going to move the goalposts, why don't we just move them to the logical endpoint and proclaim "why don't we just not have wars"

Which, by the way, perhaps it's of interest to compare the frequency and severity of war before and after the invention of atomic weapons

Anyway, I'd be curious to hear your ethical solution to the trolley problem? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem)

Counterpoint: how many people died to war before and after the atomic bombs?

Let's also not forget how much fresh water has been ruined with fracking

I don't know how to fix the social contract that "the things you buy should work and not be rug-pulled" but I certainly refuse to normalize the idea that "the issue here" lies with the author and not Verizon

Can you at least explain the reasoning then?

Yeah, but do all those people get residuals? When you buy a real copy, who gets money from that?

Related point: try legally playing 4k content* on your PC

* obviously I mean movies/TV/etc. and the like where you have to pay money (as in the article)

Maybe multiple things can be true

Like when doctors insisted they didn't need to wash their hands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis#Conflict_with...)

or "science advances one funeral at a time" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_principle)

I don't follow the logic - because incompetent people are running the show, some other group of incompetent people can't be running the show?

> Ya god forbid people want to have careers at leading tech companies so they can have a more abundant life built by their skillsets and discipline

This seems like a fancily dressed up "fuck you, got mine"
