Others make it clear their stupidity is absolutely genuine by doubling down when they’re wrong, to comical extremes.

“Klansman”, lmao, and telling me to get over myself.

This level of copium has got to have adverse health effects.

Doesn’t make sense to compare a rate of an outcome (without even knowing how often that outcome was sought) with an individual attempt whose outcome is not even known yet.

When Mangione IS actually given the death penalty, this ‘argument’ will actually amount to something. Dumb until then.

Weirds me out that people are actually spending time imagining stuff like this, and even more that people are actually creating and spreading images of it, with captions they added. This post and its title fall under that umbrella. Yeesh.

And when a furry says you’re being weird, you can take that to the bank, lol.

Well, now I feel 20 years older, lol

Pretty rude to sit down next to someone who is already seated and then tell them to leave, don’t you think? lol

Edit: Phew, lots of weird fantasizing going on in this thread, lol

Thank you for bringing some reality to the table.

are they wrong though?

Yes.

There is a massive difference between someone who actively fights against their biases and doesn’t let them dictate the conclusions they reach, and is always open to changing those conclusions and their way of thinking as new information comes to their attention, and someone who clings to those biases, and happily ignores anything that may challenge them.

I only define the latter category as “ideologues”. Sure, technically everyone who is sapient has an ideology, but as the definition says:

an adherent of an ideology, especially one who is uncompromising and dogmatic.

I have a feeling you know very well that’s the kind of person I was talking about. And no, not everyone is like that. On Reddit I was once called a “commie” and a “Nazi” on the same day by different people in different subs, lol, both in reaction to being told a fact that contradicted a bias of theirs. Those are the kind of people I’m talking about.

Lemmy is just slower Reddit. Plenty of ideologues here.

It’s not a “take”, goofball, it’s a joke. Get over yourself.

In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.

Genies are all about malicious compliance.

FYI, the supposed “Nuclear Gandhi” bug is not a real thing:

This is a myth, no such bug ever existed. There’s a whole Wikipedia page about it:

How would it fuck them out of a job?

…the place that employed them ceases to exist?

Besides, shoplifting is nowhere near the scale that it would make an entire store unprofitable.

Doesn’t matter. However small or large the negative impact is, it goes down the ladder, not up. The rank and file suffer first and most, always.

Rationalizing theft because you want to feel like you’re Robin Hood is just that, a rationalization. It’s not the reality.

Appropriate time for: shoplifting will fuck hundreds of innocent workers out of a job before it kills one corporation.

Think about who you’re really hurting. If a Walmart location stops being profitable enough, it’ll just close, no sweat off their back. But everyone working there is now out of a job.

Downvoting as a knee jerk response without caring to even read the comment is a flaw of the downvoter, not the commenter.

“Read the room”, how about read the comment? lol

Except you’re assuming every single claim is legit, which is obviously not true.

An insurance company that never denies a single legit claim is still going to have a significant number of denials. People try to get away with bullshit all the time too, you know.

Imagine downvoting this guy for calling out an obvious lie, lol.
