The Core
It's so fucking stupid that it is like a Trainwreck you can't look away from.
I am the Plex guy in my group of friends and family. I think there's probably a bit of confirmation bias at play. Being on Lemmy alone puts you into a niche area of Internet already, which is going to make hearing about geeky things like home labs more common.
So yes, they exist.
False dichotomy. Why not both?
Alcohol costs money. Middle class is dead. Probably will see a lot more people making homemade things.
Ah yes. Everything that you disagree with is a straw man.
Yeah those are possibilities. So is being injured by a bear. So is being eaten alive. So is a meteor striking you. Or a guy knifing you when you walked by. Obviously statistical likelihood shapes the amplitude of fear response. The vast majority of men aren't rapists. And the vast majority of people have no problem passing countless masses of invisible men everyday. And the vast majority of people would run from a bear. Pretending otherwise is just nonsense that doesn't lend your premise any credibility. All this hypothetical situation illustrates is that people are irrational with their fears and lie about them. Either to others or to themselves.
You think someone SAYING they'd choose the bear would actually choose the bear? Really? If someone actually would do that, I wouldn't really care about any opinions they had about anything because it sounds like they lack basic survival instincts.
You say I am downplaying rape? I can easily mirror that argument into well, rape vs being eaten alive... Are you arguing that rape and assault victims would be better off dead? A human is much more likely to help you than hurt you, whereas a bear has a nearly zero likelihood of helping you, with the exception of Wojtek, the greatest of all bears.
Ah, there's the end goal to full self driving! Creating advertisement boxes you have to sit inside and the vehicle doesn't move if you close your eyes. We're going full black mirror!
Doubt it. I think you'd ask for help, shelter, contact emergency, avoid exposure, ask for food. You all think about some hypothetical infinity negatives and no benefits like there's some kinda false dichotomy.
I think you either are lying to yourself or lying to the public.
Well this begs the question of whether or not radical actions are required at a certain point and where that point actually is. Surely complacency only gets more necks stepped on.
No you wouldn't. You pass men everyday. I refuse to believe you'd be less concerned about a bear.

If you like movies, I've been enjoying AMC Stubs A-List, been going to more movies with the gf, screen unseen is fun if you have nothing specific you want to see. And we keep costs down by sneaking food in.
