Singapore seems to be doing fine without that requirement is what that comment said i think talking about different things


Singapore has lots of other crazy requirements, though.


as a ugly person was hoping this was the inception of the ogre lives matter movement but was disappointed lol


meh hollywood needs to upgrade its villains lol their narrative is just boring and trite


man terrorists are so basic these days they should not be considered entropy more like extremely predictable load tests conducted by powers that be lmao


my fav part of HN is how slavery and the CIA just don't exist

but stoicism is cool though if you rich and have a choice. if you're poor it's kind of forced on you because your choice is either be ok with the abuse or die


isn't it crazy an all powerful being would abuse a person to teach them some vague lesson? like truly if you think about it objectively how is that different from the Mike Vick dog fighting scandal


Interesting take.

I may imagin Job being as class with core attributes, integrity and commitment, and the variable attributes like wife, wealth, family etc. You can have billions of different instances of Job and the variable attributes may change over time. If integrity and commitment are unphased by that, the instance of Job is reliable. It is Jobs choice to be reliable, no matter his attributes.

Mistreating dogs changes their core attributes and makes them less reliable. They might be rehabilitated, but this crucial part is not their choice.

This is how I would see the difference. What do you think?


i see the human and the dog as classes that inherit from the same base class with slightly different attributes such as computational power, healing, running speed etc

isnt your comment like saying abuse a dog if its reliable no matter the attributes it is a good dog? abusing people also changes their core attributes which is what trauma is and by this logic poofy guy in the sky is an abuser or a slaver

how do people reconcile that? the christians that raised me used to beat me into believeing wondering if HN has a more philosophical take


Yes absolut exactly. LUCA comes to mind as a base class. Obviously attributes and methods differ quite greatly, we are not just dogs. To reconcile all abuse in this life sounds great, to the humans class, to the dog class it is probably of little interest.

Yet specific therapy dogs can take a lot of abuse, without ever lashing out. They are great for troubled children.


man not even close HN is so cruel


most k&r learning c are actually fake christians to understand real christianity you have to read the constitution and the rust book


man old testament was the shit it says slaves should be freed with an advance after 6 years


because the secret police is different department but they're really nice they've refined a lot of things so they resort to old school methods rarely / if you are a threat
