Corrupt power abusing cops aren't exactly rare nor do they have any bearing on the country of finland as a whole. And using the US of all places as a positive example in that case is just ludicrous. I have no reason to doubt you were wronged, but that also doesn't mean shit for how the average person feels about their life.

Gathering the data in one easily accessible spot is still doxxing. Most doxxing info is just gathered through publically available data. Often harder to connect than just going through someones post history, but that is still easily on the side of morally fucked up.

It's the equivalent of grooming. So yes, it is morally questionable. But so is every "training someone to do a thing". People just accept it with animals as long as in the end the animal seems fine, because it's only ever about what seems normal and not about the actual impact. And I'm not saying it's all a horrible moral crime, just that it's a large grayscale and can't be painted as good or bad blankly.

Doing that to random wild animals for no reason does feel rather fucked up to me because until the end point (which in that case is likely just the realization that there's no danger) it puts the animal under a lot of stress. Not to mention the potential issues with wild animals losing their fear of humans.

So true we should ban everything that someone finds slightly creepy, even if it hurts absolutely no one and is clearly a fairly common thing. We should especially put it on the same level as doing things that irreparably ruin lives!

Isn't that mostly just reverse engineering though? The tools for doing that are available, hence why open source support for phones exist at all, the technology is just a lot more complex.

That last question sounds like an opporturnity to shill symphogear, so I can't miss that. Watch symphogear

Where else does the utterly false idea that nuclear waste is a solved problem come from, then?

The long term cost of nuclear is by far the highest, unless we actually figure out a no maintenance storage method or other way to get rid of the waste. It's cheap in the moment, but effectively taking on a debt for a very long time. Not that dissimilar to fossil fuels, really. And just like with fossil fuels, the costs are socialized, because whatever company is responsible for the waste probably won't be around in 100, 500, or 1000 years.

The ones getting fired are the employees bringing the violations to light. The assholes monitoring us are doing just fine.

The issue with asking about the test taker is that it's often hard to have a frame of reference - whatever you're used to is normal. There's not really an easy solution.

I'm far more likely to read the article if it's right there (though I'd read it if I have further questions). It's much less friction, plus many sites are very unpleasant to read on mobile. Cookie banner, do you want to sign up to our newsletter?
