Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • The EU proposal to scan all your WhatsApp chats is back on the agenda

  • I haven't made any assumptions about where you're from. I'm only arguing against the blanket statement of telling everyone to stop using whatsapp.

  • Yay murder.

  • And instead use what? Signal? And then chat with the zero other people who use it?

    Telling europeans to not use whatsapp is like telling people not to use the power grid. It's more popular here than iMessages are in the US.

  • You really think that the only ones against ending capitalism are a handful of wealthy people?

  • Do you also drive off a bridge when your navigator tells you to? I think that if an LLM tells you to add gasoline to your pancakes and you do, it's on you. Common sense doesn't seem very common nowdays.

  • What's the best habit that improved your life?

    Jump

  • I stopped putting blame on people. I focus on the grand scheme of things - not the individuals involved in it. The list of people I have negative thoughts about throught the week is zero long.

  • Does anyone else cook a whole meal hungry and upon finishing, you don't want to eat it at all?

    Jump

  • No, but I only start cooking when I'm hungry but then am too impatient to wait for it to be done so I'll start snacking while I wait and then I'm no longer hungry when it's done.

  • Even if the penalty (death) can be morally justified it still shouldn't be celebrated. Also, I oppose death penalty - the people celebrating this have no moral standing to oppose it too. They're on the wrong side of history in my view.

  • It's all fun and games as long as you get to decice who the dragons are. The people you oppose have their's too.

  • So many here showing their true colors and demonstrating that they're actually no better than the people they oppose.

  • How would you process the fact that a new friend of yours is a cop? (USA)

    Jump

  • Where I live, there’s a strict screening process to become a cop. It requires a three-year education, and you need a college degree just to apply. There are far more applicants than available spots, so even many good candidates don’t make it in. Trust in the police is generally quite high among the population, they’re respected, and every time a firearm is used for example, it’s investigated thoroughly. Officers do face legal consequences when malpractice is discovered.

    So, yeah, I’d hang out with a cop and talk to them about the same stuff I’d discuss with anyone else.

  • There are tens of millions of cops around the world. The idea that not a single one of them is a good person is so statistically improbable that I’d bet my life on it being false.

    Can you name another broad generalization that applies to every single member of that group without exception?

  • I genuinely believe ACAB, and this news has me conflicted because my new friend seems really cool and super nice.

    What you’re experiencing is cognitive dissonance. New information is clashing with your prior beliefs, leaving you with a choice: either update your beliefs or double down and lie to yourself even harder.

  • Toss my tool bag into my truck and drive to the customer's house I guess unless told to do something else by the authorities.

  • You've been given the power to remove anyone, who was alive before you were born, from the timeline. How do you use this power without inadvertently making it so you were never born?

    Jump

  • I don't have anyone I'd want to remove and I'm also not so naive to think it wouldn't come with major unpredictable consequences.

  • At least he's living by his own principle on this one:

    If you’re not adding back at least 10% of what you remove, you’re not removing enough.
