Nazi's are Nazis. You seem absolutely certain that you need to sit here and defend people who celebrate the historical murder of millions. Maybe they're just misguided.

Why would you let them live?

ZeroGee Link ParentLike my Grandfather, I think attacking Nazi's is worth celebrating. Nazi's should be afraid to exist. Their very existence should be a threat to their existence.Like my Grandfather, I think attacking Nazi's is worth celebrating.

I don't play Warhammer but I enjoy printing/sanding/painting the figurines. I was never going to spend $1000 on official Warhammer pieces, but I really enjoy my little army for what it is.

Comment on I no longer trust the stats that companies publish on the gender equality in their tech roles in ~tech

- Do you care if the bridge you drive across was engineered by a 50% gender ratio company?
- Does the engineering firm require the engineers to attend the sales seminars, so they can more fully understand the customer journey?
- Does the engineering firm require the sales team to understand the goings on with the engineers and how the "culture" works back there?
Software engineering is engineering. But middle-management and sales teams drive the world, so we'll always be beholden to what they think is important, and how they think they can sell the product.
Whatever. So long as the bridge doesnt' fall down.

Who is at fault, who suffers the consequences, and who prevents it in the future?
The answer is no one. I'll skip ahead for you. Companies are immortal, and immune from consequences, because they socialize the risk to the share-holders instead of the executive.

- If a Tesla mows down a child while driving autonomously?
- If a police drone/spot-dog carrying a gun shoots someone accidentally?
- If your social media algorithm/chart-bot encourages/promotes suicide/self-harm?
- If your mis-information campaign causes a full on government revolt?
It's not about shutting down the govenment. It's about forcing Corporations (who are legal persons) to have legal consequences for their actions.

Corporations CEO's need to be liable for any automated law-breaking. Which would put Elon in multiple crosshairs immediately.

The Prime Directive/General Order 1 would require him to walk away from an entire civilization that was embroiled in religious war. But when his girlfriend is sick, he switches to prayer. This man has seen more of the universe than any other human, with other species, bi-peds, and god-like-entities, and he decides to start spreading Christianity through the cosmos, because his girlfriend is sick.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, until it's convenient.
Destin can probably expand his audience, make more money, and become a good Christian by spreading the word. It will push his average audience closer to the top of the bell-curve. And unfortunately, that 100 IQ sweet spot, isn't very intelligent.

Or you might just find a large group of people who hike at all different speeds, but provide "buddy system" so you're not out there alone.
You might also be shocked if you ask your existing friends who wants to come. I did the same, and found out that a friendly book-worm was super keen on exploring but felt like he didn't know anyone like-minded.
You seem to be unfamiliar with both the Trolley Problem, and how voting works.
