I would just shock people when they're lying online. That's it.
They can do it to people in person, but no more sock puppets or disingenuous BS on the internet. No more people taking credit or talking about their cousin who for real died from a mote of fentanyl dust.
As an ND can I petition to extend this policy IRL too because I'm tired of literally every social interaction being confusing and exhausting
It would be so much better. The social games aren't even fun.
Now I have to be honest to my boss? I will be fired instantly.
Your boss has to be honest with everyone now and will likely be torn to pieces by an angry mob before the week is out

I would not do that.
politically correct / sjw / virtue signal / woke / whatever it's called next
The "human nature" argument. Idk why this line of argument pisses me off more than others. It just feels disingenuous on too many layers maybe.
Anyways I feel like I've seen it come up a lot in the last few days. It would be funny to see if the ones arguing it can be classically trained into abandoning it
My first philosophy paper I started with an appeal to human nature and rightfully the prof did destroy that with big bold red markings. I did use the snappy start since I learned from the Economist and the big newspapers, be it Die Zeit or some Anglosphere ones that it is interesting and intellectual to do it.
It is mostly used to strengthen hegemonic ideology, it isn't scientific and many people using it have no clue about what "natural" is and neither do they have concepts about what did happen in pre-history, but they think they do - as I did, too. It is a scourge.
"Females"
Any time somebody talks about politics through the lens of 'tribalism' or boiling ideology down to a 'my team their team' situation.
when you open a tab or a browser or an app 🌩
Whenever someone says CCP... extra volts to the balls if they say "the international community", "regime" or any other geopolitical buzzwords they've pulled out their ass...
"market forces" or just "market"
"i'm into electroplay"

"Bot" when encountering cognitive dissonance.
Whenever someone misuses the word "logic" to mean "reason(albe/ing) because they don't know what logic is, which would make the word almost unused. Would be so nice.
I would make it some random very uncommon word that everyone knew, then people who like being shocked could say it whenever they want. This would be my great gift to humanity.
My work email address. Everytime someone composes an email to me they'd have to decide "is this question worth the mild electrical shock or could I just Google this?" and I'd honestly take a pay cut to make this happen.
If you respond to what you want the other person to have said instead of what they actually said, thats a zappin
