I’m done with this, but no, there was not. I respect and acknowledge anyone choosing a protest, I really do. I’m a registered libertarian for gods sakes. There we two choices, one was going to win, the other wasn’t. If the reason someone allowed people to die was because less people would die in the future so be it, when it came down to it, that was the only choice on the table. Would have loved if it was different, but it wasn’t. You don’t get to avoid the splatter.
doesn’t make much difference to the bodies
I don’t disagree, it doesn’t change that you need to own the bodies as an acceptable loss.
Murder, maybe not, but “allow to die through in-action” sure can.
Didn’t say they did. People die none the less. If that’s acceptable that’s fine, but call it what it is: An acceptable loss.
deontologists still get splattered, even if it’s the correct choice.
No, all of them did. Through action or inaction. So again, if it was in service of a better tomorrow so be it, but it is what it is.
There are differing opinions on that depending on which philosopher is at the switch. What doesn’t change is they all have to watch the carnage.
Yeah… so does not… that’s the whole damn trolley problem thing… there were clear and defined outcomes for not pulling the switch. May have been justifiable, not even debating that, but you still own the choice.
That was not an option on the table. Again, if you think it’ll lead to a better tomorrow so be it, but acknowledge the bodies paving the road.
Sure, and same. Some of us in the US did get the luxury of protest vote. How’d you do in local? I’m not even a democrat. First time I voted down ticket.
"You won.
Lol!"
Everyone who didn’t vote got what they asked for. There were two options. If someone thinks there’s better days ahead so be it, but what’s coming up is part of that same decision. There is no one else to blame. If the pain is worth the long term benefit, then fine, but it was an active and informed choice. The bodies that result were deemed acceptable in service of a better 2028.
lmfao, YES. I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally myopic. For the first time in a long time we know how this is going to go. There has never been a more clear A:B case in this field. This wasn’t 2016. Dead bodies in congress and I don’t remember worrying about if my friends who are serving were going to call me from godamn greenland before Nov. Buckle up. You won. Reap the rewards.
Everyone get’s what they asked for. The thing about the ubiquitous trolley problem is it has clear outcomes. That’s why it works. Whatever’s happening down the track, here we are. We had a lever we didn’t pull. Best learn to live with the choice, because there was a choice.
I love this. I have a box I’ve been wanting to move to a family members place because they have fiber and I don’t. They’re heavy users of the plex server I have on there, so they’re happy to host it, but if I ever had issues around anything boot related I’d be down until I could physically get there.
This would also be awesome for troubleshooting some RasPi stuff where I kind of want the DE every now and then but mostly let it run headless.
Endangered by my vote? I don’t like the splatter I’m getting. In fact I hate it, but I do own it. I tried to get less of it to wipe off.
