True. However both should sit on the same spot on top of the bell curve for IQ distribution. Also the majority of people is not aware of the difference between the two. You’d have to explain to more than half of your audience what a median is (essentially killing the joke this way).

Was about to post the same and I also downvote unnecessary NY Post links.

Never seen FB disallow fake news or hate speech as long as it is coming from the (extreme) right.

Either they just stop pretending now or irl somehow get even worse?

I wouldn’t put it past Samsung to try and force you to have internet access enabled so they can spy on you.

However having additional hardware to directly access the internet via cellular is a bit much. That might have been an Aprils fools article by some IT site.

When Sony tried to install root kits on PCs of folks just trying to watch a movie on a legit purchased DVD there was a quite large shitstorm.

Some require you to be online.

I’d take it back to the store as broken. Never heard of that though.

Some took it a step further and are equipped with 4/5G modems to bypass your network restrictions.

Never heard of this either and it would raise a massive stink in the EU. Can you share an example?

Or you could just block the Spyware TV from accessing the internet.

Sorry, I’m way too busy too to explore this total and utter strawman any further.

‘I’m gonna stay in my shitty abusive relationship I’ll just cheat on them’ is not a good POV IMHO.

That’s literally the worst interpretation of the situation.

A bit similar to you I can’t understand people staying in an abusive relationship - as in I can’t imaging this happening to me. Quite similar as I can’t understand how people can have anorexia. Yet it is indisputable that both exist and people are suffering from them. If you don’t have any cases within your family or acquaintances just look it up there are loads of sources both from psych help sites and just novels.

Then your reply should have been along the lines of “Picking a murderer instead of a rapist isn’t better”.

FYI, they have picked a mass murderer more than once in the past. Being person of the year isn’t necessarily an honor.

Your reasoning is apparently based on 2 premises: 1. Cheating is the absolute worst thing a human being can do. Abuse is just another Wednesday. 2. Everything is either black or white. There are no grey areas.

Like most people I tend to give abuse victims a lot of slack. Cheating is bad but in the case of an abuse victim I frankly don’t give a fuck. I’m gonna repeat that: Cheating is bad. In case of abuse however I don’t care.

I’m not sure if your singular focus on creating comes from being cheated on or from having an unusually high tolerance towards abusers.

If it’s the former I’m sorry that happened to you. However you need to stop defending abusers.

If it’s the latter: get bent.

To understand lyrics by Stromae you need to check the French version of the lyrics on genius.com as there are explanations added by friendly native speakers. The texts are full of connotation, context, idioms - I’ve not seen anything like it in any modern song. It’s very cumbersome to translate all of that but I found it rewarding. Especially the lyrics of Papaoutai and Bâtard are masterpieces.

But you did. Not in so many words, but you said it.

Where?

I have a ton of empathy for abuse victims.

It’s pretty obvious that you don’t.

Having something shitty done to you, doesn’t mean it’s okay for you to be shitty.

I did not say that.

This person is shitty there for it’s okay to be shitty to them’

I did not say that.

you create a slippery slope that could easily be used by shitty people against good people.

So, according to you malignant narcissists are good people? Okay

I find your lack of empathy for abuse victims quite concerning TBH.

Consider the following (IMO common) scenario: One spouse is abusive and does not care about the children. Maybe it’s a malignant narcissist and their family is like property for them.

The other spouse cares about the children and may be the only one doing any real parenting. Also they suffer the loveless, abusive marriage. At some point they meet someone that cares for them and somehow that leads to cheating before they can escape the marriage.

In this scenario the children should stay with the cheater and the alimony should not be depending on who cheated. (Both IMO of course).

What about Alesia though?

Not consuming implying you’re wrong but I’d really like to see that list.

I rather think he’s trying to tank the Tesla stock price lately. No idea why though.

A tortoise? What’s that?

You should check the provenience of your alternatives. Except maybe Vivaldi these aren’t really better.
