As much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.

Windows just has so many programs built up with it over the years and it’s really hard to convince people to jump to Linux and deal with all the compatibility problems. Things are getting better, but right now it’s like real time raytracing with how it’s perpetually 4-5 years away from being realistic.

Smartphones are an absolute necessity for the vast majority of people. If you don’t have a laptop or some other computer your phone is likely the only way you are able to apply for jobs nowadays. It’s also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now. Let alone social media and how important that has become in everyday life. Sure dumb phones can handle calling, texting and voicemail but for most people that isn’t enough anymore.

Our mental health and the demands of the modern world are at odds. I doubt we can or will ever go back to simpler technology because of the way things are in the world.

Well yeah the Nazis need they are SS to enforce their dictatorship

I was really hoping it would help with this since I have a disability that affects the joints in legs and my knees hurt the most from that. So this isn’t really anything too interesting, but still kinda neat.

No more environment

One I am all for

I absolutely agree these “researchers” deserve to lose their tenure and lose their funding. In my mind they don’t even deserve to be called researchers anymore as they view their job as an extractive one. They hold no regard for the people they impacted and how that impacts the entire fields of research.

If the university does protect these people than I can only hope that no one signs up to participate in any future studies they try to conduct.

It sickens me how people use the phrase to justify harming others.

There are very good reasons why our modern code of ethics exist in the first place. We as researchers are not there to do harm but instead to try to uplift the people we work with in the process. We are not there to extract information, but to work with people to help better understand how to improve their lives.

The Milgram Experiment while fascinating, is deeply unethical in its own right and should not be used as an example of anything other than the damage that is cause by conducting an unethical study. That study alone has cause many would be participants to walk away because how can they be trusted with a new study. The experiment was not stopped by the researchers when it was clear the participants were under high pressure and showing visible signs of stress. This is not an extractive field like you imply, it is a morally bankrupt philosophy to have that mindset.

Compensating participants is a sign of goodwill and shows you value their time and work put in. Does not matter if trauma is brought up or created like with the Milgram Experiment. You do it because it creates goodwill and helps people feel safer in the knowledge that both you and the institution you represent actually care. It is not for debate on what circumstances you offer compensation, you just offer it.

The greater good does not come with predatory extractive experiments but instead with studies that value and care for its participants. It is impossible to know just how many people have been turned away from participating because of studies like the one the article is on, the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. What we do know is that they have had an extremely negative effect on the perception of academic research and turn people away.

This is deeply unethical, when doing research you need to respect the people who participate and you have to respect what their story is. So by using a regurgitative artificial idiot (RAI) to make them their mind is not respecting them or their story.

The people who are being experimented on were not given compensation for their time and the work they contributed. While it isn’t required it is good practice in research to not actively burn bridges with people so that they will want to participate in more studies.

These people were also not given knowledge they were participating in a study nor were they given the choice to leave with their contributions at their will. Which entirely makes the study unpublishable since the data was not gathered with fucking consent.

This isn’t even taking into account any of the other things which cross ethical lines. All the “researchers” involved should never be allowed to ever conduct or participate in a study of any kind again. Their university should be fined and heavily scrutinized for their work in enabling this shit. These assholes have done damage to all researchers globally who will now have a harder time pitching real studies to potential participants because they could remember this story and how “researchers” took advantage of unknowing individuals. Shame on these people and hope they face real consequences.

It’s kind of hard to not worry about something that directly affects how I get to live. It’s a lot easier for people who are not having their access to HRT taken away to say “just don’t let them live rent free in your head”. Like I’m sorry but I need to be informed if I’m going to lose the thing that saved my life.

I don’t live in a blue state, I don’t have the money to move to one. I have to read the news daily because I’d rather not miss the news that I might be forced to flee the country. It’s not really as comforting as it sounds to say that there are people who care about trans rights when an even larger group wants us dead and gone.

Thanks for trying but it didn’t really help at all

It was nice not entirely hating my body for a while, but now they are gonna take away my brief bit of not hating myself.

What about his 4th?

Womp womp, you vote for a fascist you have to deal with the fascist

Steam gets a pass because they actually offer buyer protection, refunds if it doesn’t work, refunds under certain requirements which can be waved under certain circumstances, removal of day one season passes, refunds for dlc that gets delayed too long for example.

If an actual competitor gave a shit about things that matter to actual players than they have a shot. Epic Game Store is a joke because no one wants a store that only focuses on what corporations want. GOG is good but just doesn’t market itself well, seriously outside of launching CDPR games I don’t see it at all.

Getting companies to offer their games on platforms that offer a higher margin is easy. Getting players over to a platform that offers less protections and features is not going to happen.

Seriously stop enabling his fascist behaviors by using it people!

Wish me luck I am too curious about how delulu people are

Edit: That was a mistake, that is weapons grade stupidity

It’s been the goal of the oligarchs and their pet politicians to dismantle any attempt to educate and maintain the system of indoctrination that exists. The system was designed to produce obedient factory workers who do what they are told. Once the Robber Barons were gone the new generation of oligarchs did not see a reason to replace the system. As it obviously benefited them to keep a mindless populace around. Colleges and universities have had to deprogram students to be able to think for themselves. Now that so many people are getting college and university degrees, the oligarchs want to dismantle the system so that it goes back to only being a privileged few are able to see what is actually happening.

It has always been the oligarchs fault for how shit our education system has been. We have always been an oligarchic third world country that has been draped in a disguise of being better than it was.

wage slavery

Can’t wait to die of a disease in my food because it’s unavoidable. Thank you republicucks, this will surely help other immunocompromised/auto immune disease people.

Goodbye chat

It’s for tracking “undesirables”
