  • There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

    Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

    I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.

    Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.

    But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.

    Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.



  • the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.

    False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

    There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

    That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.

    Gotta move with the times, man. Emojis are a great way to add tone to text-based conversation for those who didn’t grow up in IRC chatrooms, learning to apply tone to the text itself.

    Excessive use of emojis can be annoying, but in concept I think they’re fine.
