MODERATORS
I read your comment carefully and still downvoted because its an incredibly dumb thing to say.
Nice username, fam! I've not found an Expanse community around here yet, but I see lots of fans
Wtf, I literally just re-watched the scene 5 minutes ago, and I come on lemmy and see this. Are the planets aligned or am I about to die or something?
Final Destination, Expanse style? That sounds... unpleasant lol
I bet you downvote this!
Edit: shit! I meant to say "won't!" I bet you won't downvote this!
I only said that because I'm pretty sure 99% of the people here agree with me, you included but are downvoting as a kneejerk reaction.
There's never a scenario on the internet where 99% of people agree with you...unless you're just talking to yourself. Just let it go, not like you lose anything with downvotes.
Then you have expressed yourself poorly and have made no effort to correct that.
What the fuck do you think regulations are for? If we didn't have them companies would skip crucial steps because they are expensive. Take Tesla for example, removing radar/lidar because of expense and they are bulky. But are nessesarry, shit they're putting mics outside the car to listen for sirens.a
why is that?
why is it a dumb thing to say? in a free market, it is wise to take all that you can for your shareholders. Maybe a free market isn't what you desire?
It's greedy and antisocial. You're a moron. Capitalism is a stain on world history.
well, that's kind of exactly what we're saying. we are stating what laissez faire capitalism is. i agree that it is antisocial, greedy, immoral and a bane of our existence...and really the major thing holding modern society back. i never said i support a free market (hint: i don't)....just stating what it is. your reply might come off as antisocial (ie morons)
So the way to counteract that would be passing laws preventing it? The thing being proposed?
This is like me saying "my house is on fire! Put water on it!" And someone replying "you shouldn't do that because the purpose of fire is to burn things" and thinking they're clever. Nobody here is pro-fire.
maybe there is some other kind of problem here, because i'm anticapitalism, if you're reading the correct thread
why would you admit that lol
