Non-profit means the corporation isn’t set up to make a profit and the business operates off of donations instead of selling a product. So there is always a profit motive. I wish more people understood this. Everything from Greenpeace to MADD is still a corporation ran by people who want to make lots and lots of cash.

I’m trying to discuss things in pure logic so as to emotionally unload the reasoning. Bad faith means they are being deceitful. Whether someone says “Hello. You look nice to day.” or “we should torture indigenous people” how can one glean that they don’t truly believe that? Though the second one is so outlandish, I would assume it’s satire since I assume innocence.

Unless you’re reducing bad faith actors to people coming up and saying, ‘‘hey everyone, I’m acting in bad faith!’’ (which the vast majority of bad faith actors do not do) - which is ridiculous.

It’s been my experience they eventually do. If someone is telling me I look nice and I take it as a genuine compliment, but they’re acting in bad faith, that’s going to drive them up the fucking wall that I’m so dumb that I don’t assume bad faith like they do.

Even with an ethical element tied to the statement, an accusation of bad faith is a bit of a non sequitur.

A: We should torture ducks and masturbate to their suffering because they have three feet.

B: You are acting in bad faith.

I’m using 7.5 which I installed in 2023. Have they really had 20 updates in two years or am I’m misunderstanding the numbering?

That’s the problem. Comcast is famous in the US for being utter dogshit. So is ATT. And that’s pretty much our choices.

yes but how often does your internet go down?

About once a month. Not for very long, but it is an annoyance. Xfinity usually does maintenance between 1am and 2am, and the Internet will be out for about 30 minutes to an hour. About once a year it goes down for at least half a day.

My OS hasn’t gone down at all in 20 years. I don’t want that to change. If an OS stops working for an hour once a month for maintenance, it’s a piece of refried shit.

In some discussions, faith, good or bad, doesn’t matter. If a politician says that ducks have three feet, whether they say that in good faith or not, it’s wrong. So it’s still best to assume good faith and logically explain how it is incorrect. To respond to such a statement with an accusation is a fallacy.

Another option is to not use Twtich. There’s literally a jillion other things to do online.

When one assumes bad faith, one is assuming guilt. That isn’t fair. I have found it better to assume innocence, to adopt Judge Blackstone’s ratio over Judge Dredd’s.

Also look at the Detroit police department. Once OCP took over, they created ED-209s which, with their efficient AI algorithms and superior firepower, will replace the current cost inefficient human workforce with one that will work for free.

The lootboxes are a Counterstrike thing. They’re like Labubus except with digital guns and knives.

How do you determine what’s not in good faith?

I personally always assume good faith. I can’t read people’s minds. On the Internet, I can’t even see facial expressions or hear how they’re saying it. It’s like that Key and Peele text message sketch.

If you don’t return your cart, fuck you!

It seems there’s a certain personality type the managers of stores prefer working out there in the parking lot.

How have things changed?

Looks legit, doesn’t it?

I’m using the website. After what you said, I checked and it has Subscribed/Local/All at the top of the page. That’s really nice. I just started using Lemmy so I haven’t completely figured it out yet. I use old reddit, so it might be set up the same way as new reddit but I wouldn’t have known.

Edit:

What are hidden posts?

I can’t figure out how to unsub from the Lemmy version of r/all. So I’m getting latestagecapitalism, politics, politicalmemes, various communist instances. 80% of what’s on my page is politics. I’m not interested in that.

I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I’m currently playing, programs I’m currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.

Between leaving that out and the bit about young gigolos going to a party to bang a bunch of aging movie actresses, I have no idea how that movie works so well.

There’s not much to it. Washing machines just do what ancient people did except it uses a motor to operate the agitator. I wash my clothes in the tub and use a plunger as a posser. You just plunge till your arm falls off.

Remember that 90% of what is said online is said by complete oddballs because nobody will talk to them in real life and they have all the time in the world to post on the Internet.

And the more extreme the view, the more sock puppets these oddballs will have to try to convince you that their fucked up view of the world is actually normal.

IRL I almost never, ever meet people who are obsessed with politics, or people who are extremists like Nazis or communists. Online, they’re all over the place and it is not remotely normal. Same goes for chronic pot heads who are vehemently anti-smoking cigarettes. You don’t meet that kind of bizarro-world health nuttery offline. Or people who think that people who have outdoor cats are pure evil and should be put in prison.

Extremism like this in general is not at all normal offline. But online it seems like it is. It is not.
