Indeed, he didn’t create the party, he just says the quiet part out loud.

That’s certainly what some people wanted it to be.

Also doesn’t mean that’s all it can ever be. Especially after 45 years.

It’s also okay to have standards.

Just because someone dumps a bucket of slop in front of you doesn’t mean you have to eat it.

So… three monkeys?

I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.

It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.

…except this isn’t explicitly a Linux website. Sure, it’s probably run by people who use it extensively and populated mostly by people who use it at least regularly… but it’s in no way a Linux dealership. I came here specifically because it wasn’t trying to sell me something.

If you’re trying to say that’s not the case, and that the fediverse only exists as a mechanism to sell people on linux… it might be time to give up on it, I suppose.

And as we all know, only extremes exist! The middle ground is an illusion!

Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.

Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area… I kind of doubt it.

True, there’s no masking in private security.

They’ve always been on the menu

Did she not? Is that an obviously silly flaw, or just some dumb internet argument keyboard warriors throw out to try and prove how obviously intellectually superior they are?

It’s a fucking movie, not a scientific study.

And he probably would have said “no, I want you to live” her being his one true love and all.

Rose and Jack? Probably not.

I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.

Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.

Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.

Only if they both had the knowledge and frame of mind to engi her flotation devices from the life vest rose was wearing. Otherwise the door would have sunk enough for them to freeze to death before rescue came. Provides they knew rescue was coming after a certain time.

Considering one was a socialite, and the other a freelance artist, and both had just almost been killed multiple times… no, I don’t think they would have had the foresight to come up with the exact scenario that would have saved them both.

And that’s terrible…

The problem is if we give major companies a way out, on the off chance that it might have a benefit for the little guy… those major companies end up stepping on the little guy anyway.

So why let them shield themselves from the consequences of their action?

I made a donation to a psychiatric help charity in both your names.
