Would they feel any pain or suffering if you shut the simulation down? If not, which seems like the intuitive answer, then it is ethical.

Killing people in a traditional sense is unethical because you inevitably subject them to suffering agony. Also, the killed one won’t be your only victim, as any people related to them would be subjected to psychological trauma.

Whether plugging off simulated consciousnesses is moral is another question tho.

Just bought myself No Man’s Sky

Same reason you avoided stepping on joints between pavement stones when you were a kid

yeah, after switching i found rolling release upstream arch derivatives (namely endeavor and cachy) to be the least confusing ones to work with on a pc

great opportunity to try out bazzite or cachyos :P

Italy as a nation is very new

Italy is literally one of the first national states, wtf are you talking about?

… That’s why there’s millions of italian americans that don’t speak the language.

Assimilation is a thing. Unless you segregate your ethnic group, you’re bound to become part of local culture, rather than maintain your original one, regardless whether or not there is a language standard present in your historical motherland.

… they may not know the dialect of their neighbors

A dialect is a dialect. It is still a part of the same language.

you wouldn’t believe this

also, ubuntu is anything but neat

god forbid people post into multiple communities

i find quite ironic that it’s full of troublshooting, while linux comms are primarily full of entertainment. “Windows just works out of the box” btw

i’d say it’s just so much easier to be hateful and agressive online, because we communicate primarily through text, thus inherently feeling less empaty. Not to mention that text doesn’t really convey emotionns, so if you hurt someone, you won’t see their reaction, thus won’t feel guilt even if you have a developed sense of empathy.

You’re unbearable!

You started patronizing me about how i “shouldn’t drink calories”, to which i expressed my displeasure through a sarcastic comment, after which explained why i think you’re wrong, to which your only response was “do whatever you want” like i wasn’t allowed to do so before.

Not only your advice is patronizing, unwanted and backed up by nothing, it also isn’t helpful in the first place.

And now you’re acting upset because i haven’t stroked your ego by agreeing with you, or “showing you proper respect”, as if you weren’t the first one to act shitty it the first place.

Get lost.

thanks for the permission, chief

YOU’RE SICK IN THE HEAD!!! YOU… YOU ABSOLUTE PANCAKE!!111

HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR TEA!?!?!?

Oh no! Not the 48 calories! In my 0.7 giant fucking mug of tea! My diet is ruined!

Like, seriously?

You understand that most of the beverages are far less calorie-dense than your average snack, meal, or whatever, right? And that our stomach capacity is limited? Once you drink enough of even the sweetest tea, you won’t have the room for anything more dense for some time.

Israel + nazi symbolics? It’s like mentos + soda:)

bro doesn’t know how to put sugar in their tea

Or overdoses you with ecstasy

Shit on “apolitical” people all you want, but i’d certainly prefer them over highly radicalized douchebags. Staying a decent human being should come first, political stance somewhere after.
