What a despicable way to respond to a well reasoned and compassionate comment.

I get that inner reflection is difficult, I really do. But if someone's message hits you in a particularly poignant way, responding with cruelty just doesn't seem helpful for anyone involved. I hope you're able to grow past it and hold a mirror to yourself.

https://app.thestorygraph.com/ is awesome! I like the charts I get from it. There are also read-alongs and buddy reads which are nice.

I agree with the addendum, "... Given the current outlook on the world / our society / what that sentient being would be forced to endure."

I believe there is a possible, though highly improbable future (or, more likely alien world) that exists where it is moral to create sentience because there is significantly less suffering. Where sentient beings care for the well-being of each other.

 

The Minneapolis City Council on Thursday approved an ordinance that would prohibit landlords from employing algorithms to set rent and vacancy rates.

The proposed ordinance would specifically ban the use of algorithms that use “non-public competitor data.” It passed by an 11-2 vote.

Wonsley said many of the corporate property management companies that use this technology operate student housing complexes around the University of Minnesota. College students are “particularly vulnerable to exploitation,” she said, because they’re often first-time renters who are constrained to living near campus.

 

I'm not like one of those weirdos that just kills for no reason. I shot that dolphin right in its wet brain and I loved it. In fact, my pleasure from doing so was higher than my vegetarian friend's when they ate a whole block of cheese.

Right now, there's $20k being offered for information about me, but I think that's dumb. I tried to go to the FBI with information about a trophy hunter and the local butcher, but the special agent said he wouldn't give me any money for that and they already knew about it. He did offer me a bacon-topped doughnut on the way out though!

Edit, dang this is very different than Reddit's vcj.
