I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. Labor laws in China are shit. A ton of people there work way more than 40 hours a week for less money than US Americans get, live on company “campuses”, and have suicide nets.

Yep. Late-stage capitalism incentivizes and rewards unethical behavior.

Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people’s names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.

I am more interested in the percentage of incidents that result in permanent injury.

The percentage of people in the US who will be permanently injured in a motor vehicle collision is much higher than 1 in 93, and we need to do something about it.

I think it’s a perfectly valid statement to say it is not safe to travel by car in the US, especially as oversized pickup trucks and SUVs have become commonplace on roads.

I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.

According to Google Trends, related searches like “how to delete all photos facebook,” “alternative to facebook,” “how to quit facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete instagram account without logging in” have become breakout searches, with popularity suddenly increasing by over 5,000% compared to previous periods.

So that is 51 times higher than usual? Am I mathing that correctly?

I wish stories like this wouldn’t use percentages this way, and reported hard actual numbers to compare against.

The fucking banks refused to let him take payments.

Jfc people are gross

I was there. You were kind of obnoxious after the 6th beer, but it was pretty entertaining during the 10th when you tried yelling at the tablet kiosk at your table to bring you more drinks because you were too drunk to accurately tap on it anymore and the waiter had to come take it away from you, which is when you showed him your ninja fighting moves and karate-chopped a plate of chips.

Come on, that’s not fair. We get some things:

My neighbor got robbed when she posted about being away on holiday. What an experience!

And there was that time that some users had private messages made public due to a security glitch. I’m sure that ended more than a few relationships!

We get mass surveillance – that’s a pretty good one, yeah?.. No?

I appreciated reading your perspective on this. Thank you!

In my opinion, this is a bit poorly worded. I think a better way to say this is that it’s a healthy reaction to look at the state of the world and feel uneasy or anxious about it. The people who don’t are often the ones who either aren’t paying attention or who directly contributed to making things worse.

It’s okay to keep feeling depressed about all the bad things in the world, but we as people are capable of feeling a range of emotions simultaneously, so we can be depressed about the state of the world while also experiencing happiness in our day-to-day lives.

We don’t have to fall into a pit of depression that consumes us. We can channel those emotions and put them to work, helping drive us to make positive change in the world.
