Is this a showerthought or just wrong? Someone just learned that anecdotal evidence < material evidence by a lot

It’s a sloppy rework of a Hegel quote–you have my most favorite lemmy comment prole
I really love the beauty of a prole calling a hegel quote the dumbest thing ever in any context.

But if you wanted a serious answer, yes–doesn’t any modern worthwhile philosopher have to engage with Hegel’s thought in some dimension?

I 100% believe you about your hardships–I don’t deny the truth of any of your very real and serious struggles. I’ve only encountered a single trans person irl, and it was a pretty bad experience for me because I was their assigned supervisor that ended up being the one having to deal with a lot of hormonal mood-swings during and after the transition wreaking havoc on team morale. I could let this one bad experience permanently tilt my outlook in much the same way you have with your unfortunate job/boss experiences. It would be emotionally easy and arguably reasonable to do so, but I refuse because I believe staying open-minded is critically important to growth and development.

I never said I didn’t believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.

It’s exceptionally reasonable, but if you look up to see zebras you’re going to feel a bit silly, right? I don’t really know what you’re getting at, but only because I’m not seeing where specifically you engaged with anything I said

Excellent answer and example (Screw amazooon–they basically put a rent on books)

If you don’t have to support terrible people and you knowingly do anyway, it’s not going to be easy to make a discernment personally.

I think a lot of people haven’t come to the awareness that there is NO such thing as ethical consumption under our current systems tho (and you can’t boycott everything bad without causing a lot more worse stuff.)

but if that’s the usual for non-trans too, do you think maybe the wrong excuses are being targeted? I really think the whole job structure itself needs a rework personally. The job hunt grind is debilitating emotionally tho–I fully understand the frustration/outrage it induces consistently

But if one asks a better question that more accurately presents what another is looking for, it’s certainly better guidance than an answer to a nonsensical question, yeah? I know what they say about those who answer questions with questions, but I’m conventionally opposed to such ‘wisdom’

When… When did they claim they were going to do that?

guy acts like tb employees are making 6 figures XD

Did… Did someone MAKE you buy that?

You have me curious to know more. I already know some Japanese from being a weeb, but could you explain what makes your example so difficult to type specifically? I only recognize one of the many symbols used

The age old problem always comes back… I don’t know the solution but anything that looks like it is a fed/honeypot

This has me really curious about the most obfuscated, ambiguous/difficult/problematic possible usernames both for security/privacy and interesting anomalies in general.
Feel like one could make a whole book on this – please send any resources that could shed insight if possible

Are you still talking about…Jeffrey Epstein?

I’d rather be a decent and respectful ai apologist and tool than a shade-thrower. I implore you to research Ghandi friend

That was supposedly the best front-end we had, right? Sad to hear–I hope I can become good enough to help revive projects like this.
On a sidenote, what other frontends are to be used in the meantime? I’m hoping one of the few is still being maintained somewhat

Is this not especially tough to stomach knowing it as a fact in conjunction with it also being so hard to keep a job despite that element remaining outside one’s control

If we know this trend is only going to continue to get worse, what are we looking at as the obvious breaking point?
There’s clearly nothing within the system that will self-correct it, so what will be the point of failure and I’m even more interested if you can guess how we get around the dilemma?
