Not only that, but also under these conditions. Blaming others for one's own problems used to be a sign of mental unhealth, but now it is considered a sign of "proper management"!:-P

But I did not say that I knew them! :-P

However, at a guess, she has trouble letting go of her "baby boy". That type of marriage would be quite difficult, for the new wife & especially the husband caught in the middle.

You... may not enjoy the answers:-P.

"Safe" for the passengers then, but is nobody else truly around that could get hurt by the derailment?

Also, how many tied to the tracks are literally murderers who if not themselves killed in this manner, will go on to kill many more again?

Or did these people - cult members? - have themselves tied to the tracks willingly, wanting that easy death rather than slavery of the continued drudgery of existence?

I... might be overthinking this.:-P

How many people were inside the trolly though, and would die if it derailed?

Congrats, you just entered the running to become the next CEO of Boeing. :-|

B/c he knows that he does not mean it, and his base knows that he does not mean it, but it still manages to communicate something regardless - "they bad".

Humanity today is genetically identical to those in ancient Greece, and many of us have spent less time schooling ourselves about how to e.g. avoid frauds than many of them did back then. ergo, "argument by authority" still works for us, as perhaps it did for them back then as well.

Your presupposition seems to be that humanity should somehow get better over time? At least it seems to relate to a common humanist theme, but if we want to get better, it is going to require effort on our part to make that happen. (apparently, having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at our fingertips is not sufficient, for those who cannot be bothered to learn from it - either by reading or just sitting passively as videos with pwetty graphics do all the work of spelling it all out for us, yet still that is less fun & engaging to people who would rather watch shiny motor vehicles with ads on them drive round & round in circles)

Your words were all spelled correctly. Try again? :-P

There really has been nothing even close to it since. I hoped OnePlus would at least be a fairly clean flagship killer, but then the cofounder left it enshittified so bad. The Nexus was the BEST!
