And engineers who stood to make a lot of money

This is just being poor

You understand this policy as of now is only targeting Harvard. The article is about Harvard, don’t pre-cope imo

Totally agree. But I think depending on the type of speeding you do can make you a bad person.

How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why.

I know you’re making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice

Yeah, it was also clearly political before, like Ukraine’s win tbh

I care about the working class kid that isn’t gonna graduate.

There’s a near zero amount of working class kids studying abroad at Harvard

The issue with doxxing that really frustrates me as a coder is that individual developers and companies are never held responsible for making negligently insecure software.

What is incredibly toxic is insulting someone and then blocking them, so they can’t defend themselves.

Especially sucks for people with jaw problems who can’t open their mouth that wide. But you’re totally wrong about deep dish pizza

Ok?

What did he do that makes you think he’s in bed with Trump?

yeah, why dont we all have more tolerance for people doing active harm?

Yes. Tolerating someone’s existence and humanity doesn’t mean you have to enable them to do things you disagree with.

While we are on the topic, Who speaks for the CEOs here? They are human right? And has anyone asked the zionists about their feelings? their pains and fears?

Yes. Someone who genuinely believes they are acting morally, even if they do something evil, are not themselves evil. They are misguided. You shouldn’t enable them, but you also shouldn’t be needlessly cruel to them.

But also, Fetterman is responsible for his actions and his actions suck.

Yes, but context matters. People’s motives matter when you judge them. People’s circumstances matter.

Thats how responsibility works, and leadership comes with a lot of responsibility.

Nitpick not about you, but just how people talk about congress in general: let’s just be honest, most of them are not leaders. Or at least not leading anything beyond their team of staffers. And they were not intended to be leaders, they represent their constituents, serving them not leading them.

You perform or you get what Fettermans getting.

What? Ridiculed and mocked by people on the internet who’s primary hobbies are thinking of creative insults and coping? I’m not being facetious, I’m asking what just saying cruel things on Lemmy does thats productive.

Once he gets the eff out, he wont hold that responsibility and can be treated as just another human with human problems again.

Why can’t he be treated as a human now? Just a human who at least you believe is wrong on serious issues, and therefore causing harm based on misconceptions.

This is a reasonable position. I just don’t think saying calous and cruel things then justifying it by saying “it’s online” is a good excuse. You can think someone is wrong and causing severe harm without also hating them, vilifying them, etc. Some people are cruel so it’s fair to be cruel back to them, but I don’t think anyone can fairly look at Fetterman and think he actually intends to hurt people.

Thank you Jesus /s

Why though?

BTW, I’m glad to hear you recovered! Stay healthy :)

So much for tolerance… in anonymous online forums?

I mean yea, I think people should be nice on the internet too

Would you feel the same way if his stroke destroyed his ability to drive a car but he insisted on continuing to do so anyway and kept putting lives at risk?

Being in political office isn’t driving a car. But regardless, even assuming the analogy were correct, yes I would say you should still be compassionate about it.

You’re the only commenter on this post who mentioned his stroke in the context of hoping for his recovery- rather than using it to mock him. So much for tolerance
