If someone told me the hammer was safe and I hit something with it, the temper was bad, it shattered and cut me, and it was established to be deliberate deception beyond even negligence I'd want my pound of flesh yeah

How would you feel if you bought pharmaceuticals that promised to heal you and they made you sick? What about a ride at a theme park with no warning signs that failed and hurt you?

The whole marketing thing of these garbage devices is based around abusing trust. There are no warnings that you need to be an expert, in fact they claim the opposite.

The person is a rube, but only evil people abuse the trust of others and only evil people blame people for having their trust abused. Being able to trust people is good actually, and we should viciously beat to death everyone that violates social trust.

Twitter in 2016: 3.25e6 monthly active users

Lemmy.world: 1.45e4 monthly users, many of which appear to be reposting bots or duplicates.

Twitter in 2016 had politicians and companies and shit on it, lemmy has the sort of dregs that think what linux distro you use matters.

I 100% believe you

I like lemmy, it's fun when people aren't acting like they're in some political struggle.

I just think it's delusional to think you're doing any meaningful praxis here. Especially since half the active posters seem so averse to hanging out with average workers.

Keep telling yourself that.

If you want to change the world you have to go and actually hang out with the unwashed masses

Why do you care about being right more than thinking well? I don't matter, whether you "own" me in some stupid discussion on a link aggregator for hideous freaks doesn't matter.

Your approach to learning is awful, you can fix it, why aren't you keen to?

It actually does though.

You had a hanging question, and rather than try to resolve it in literally the most foundational way: do I understand what the words in front of me mean, let me examine them. You decided to forge on ahead.

It is a deeply flawed approach that speaks to disordered thinking and an education lacking in a systemic approach. This doesn't mean you're bad or whatever but it's like trying to make a chair by starting with the glue.

Fix your fundamentals

Lemmy. Does not. matter.

LW has like 3k regular real users max. Nothing here matters.

mate, you can't even figure out what a word means. Everything you believe is suspect if your approach is that sloppy.

Fix your approach to learning, then form opinions.

If my approach to understanding was so flawed as to fail at looking up a word I would be deeply concerned about the quality of my thinking.

You legitimately suck at argumentation and writing.
