On corporations and outrage culture

[Slippypuddle]

Any law is a threat of violence, ergo you must have sound and extremely high standards for any political law or standard. By proxy all political advocacy is equally threat of violence, a peaceful election that results in police bringing you to court and stealing your money is no different than direct violence. Hurt feelings on any level, any speech act at all besides direct physical threats never justify the violence of the state. This vague illusion to "being an asshole" is just sophist phrasing of your personal moral ideology which just seems to be an amalgam of the aforementioned feel good truisms peddled by neoliberalism in the west for the last 50 years.

In any case unless a speech act is causing direct financial harm in the form of effecting day to day business by slander then courts should not be involved. The loss of free speech is analogous to the protection of peoples feelings, something that should never EVER be within 100 feet of any legal document. Defending this is defending violently attacking people for speech. Which is complete lunacy.

No my friend, every political science professor will explain to you that the state has a monopoly on violence and that it is their legitimate violence that gives rise to political society, no matter their views. If you advocate for a law, you are advocating for men with guns to go to peoples houses and enforce that law. So you better have some damn good ethical standards for it. Sadly illiterate idiots have been tricked into thinking protecting the hurt feelings of grown adults justifies state violence. This is purely because people don't read the books the society in question they live in was founded on and just take the word of state/corp appointed bureaucrats on television or in classrooms.

Yes riveting. The laconic wit of a man who literally lacks human agency because their brain is filled of mush and shitty memes and they don't even know what philosophers wrote those memes or which organizations or parties put them in their head. Just social osmosis, I guess everyone says this thing so it must be a true moral statement. Read some books I beg of you. In fact my main motivation in replying to the absolute dog shit state of discourse of poor saps educated Prussian style by corporate dopes is the desperate hope they read a fucking book.

Donor is my meme author of choice.

Speaking of hysterical cry-baby twitter mobs bullying corporations into doing stupid things... The Snyder Cut is apparently gonna cost like 70 million

That's not alot though, not for a CGI movie.

People were inspired to provide their opinions on the present culture by a rice name change

I mean I for one love christmas.

Is there anyone who does sushi rice without rice cooker?
I struggle to find the best ratio
Anyone got some perfect tips?

Or should i just bite the bullet and buy a rice cooker?

Buy a rice cooker. It will change your life.

Perfect rice every time you don't have to baby on the stove.

Throw in some aromatics to spice things up a bit.
My favourite is to add a little bit of butter to the water, let the rice cook and cool, then when you make fried rice that butter seems to make all the difference

It's actually quite scary how quickly someone forfeights their own freedoms because they're concerned they'll offend someone (come across as being an asshole and asshole is bad so must have laws to prevent this at all costs).

Quite happy to sell themselves off to totalitarianism, not recognising the warning signs or infringements of their liberties.

yes, and people are free to make bad jokes. they should be. comedians do face an unfair amount of scrutiny.

But if you make a bad joke and the subject of your bad joke comes to you and says "hey man, this is actually causing me real harm in school. People are bullying me about that joke, please stop" and you do it for years anyway, that becomes harassment. This is why Filter stopped playing Hey Man Nice Shot after Bud Dwyers kid came to them about it. The recognized the problem.

His freedom of speech has started interfering with someone elses freedom from harassment. This intersection of freedoms is where we right laws.

Where did you read that? I've read that he's never had a complaint from him.
"He added that if Gabriel's family had complained directly to him, he would've stopped telling the joke."

I enjoy those 90 second instant rice mixes by Uncle Bens when I'm too lazy to cook.

I eat rice a lot.

Outrage culture is sometimes justified because there are legitimate things to be outraged by.

Sometimes it's an overreaction, but companies are going to cover their own ass for what's best for business.

Chops is missing out with the whole pineapple thing.

Hi Sela.

Nice way to encounter my constructive criticism. Editing my message to TL;DR and then put zero effort into your response. Maybe you should reconsider who actually is the shitposting troll around here?

I don't give a shit if you want to be a cringey edgelord or if you think kindness and compassion are some sort of creeping totalitarianism. But your rights never get to infringe on the rights of others. Thats the long and short of it.

But I've not forgotten some of the other vile shit you've written on this site and Im well aware that you think some other people aren't really people and so they dont really deserve the same rights you enjoy. So you're not fooling anyone here. Only one of us longs for fascism.

Lol glad you're exercising your right to offend. Some people just can't converse without stooping to insult. Re-reading some of your posts they're littered with them yet you're arguing in favor of legislation that outlaws such language...

Really think you're confusing me with someone else though as far as "Im well aware that you think some other people aren't really people and so they dont really deserve the same rights you enjoy." goes...

I'm actually not though. Since youre re-reading this thread (sicko shit, dude) make sure you catch what Im actually advocating.

That there is a point where freedoms meet and (ideally) laws exist to navigate that intersection.

For instance, if I can try to clarify: You're free to call me names. Anything you want really, and I think you should be free to do that. But I'm also free to walk away and ignore you. But if you insist on following me, now we're talking about something beyond free speech. We're drifting into harassment territory.

Imagine now that we're coworkers and you call me names every day because you think its funny. I can't really walk away because hey, I work here. So I ask you to stop, and you dont. Free speech, after all amirite? This is also drifting into harassment. You're making the place I work a hostile environment. Work place harassment laws exist for this (and more severe) reasons.

There is a difference between offending someone once or twice (either accidentally or on purpose) and then stopping, and seeking out someone to harass them. One of those should be legal, and there should be laws against the other. Where that line gets drawn is admittedly kinda murky and grey but there needs to be one. After all, your freedom of speech doesnt get to infringe on my freedom to not be harassed, but similarly my freedom to not be harassed doesnt get to infringe on your freedom of speech.

Really think you're confusing me with someone else

its possible, you guys are a dime a dozen around here
