Wish i could integrate it with my Bluetooth siren and a configurable sci-fi one-liner: “Danger, Will Robinson!” “Just what do you think you’re doing, Dave?” “Nuh uh uhh” etc

You’re welcome. I’m sure the hills you chose to die on and your pretentiousness will make for great company in your lonesome fantasy world. The difference between dumb elitism and constructive criticism is the usefulness and adaptability. I’m thankful for the work the Graphene devs are doing despite some immaturity displayed. No-one else is filling that gap anywhere near as well. If you go around trying to boycott everything made by people who don’t hold up to your asinine standards you wouldn’t be able to survive. I dare you to take a good look at the workers behind everything you consume.

Oh no muh decorum.

In the past we used to say we had functioning regulatory bodies, but they were getting paid for their silence then, and even more now.

Complacency is stupidity.

“The worst” and here I’ve been calling them racist inbred cunts for lesser reasons.

Titlehate. I have it.

Omg not the vibes - oh my lord, a whole zero!?! To sixty?!! 😦

Dial 911 and ask to speak to the president.

Well if I must pick between:

• an excerpt of my sarcastic strawman meant to roast the mentality of the type of person I have pegged you for (based you on your own initial strawman) and not a perfectly accurate characterization of the original scenario itself, and
• accepting a somewhat sensationalized temporary aspect of a pain ritual meant as mental conditioning available to sovereign people…

“Picking” becomes silly, your false dichotomy is a sham. Pointing out differences between similar and adjacent concepts used for different purposes doesn’t actually prop up yours, it just shows I took liberties to roast people like you, because I think people like you also do the same over lesser situations.

As a side note on nuances being ignored here, the one source here says days, others say hours. I’m sure enough it varies by person and actual dosage, as always. This kind of rough characterization and cherry-picking for the sake of impact should be expected from all sources as a foundation of critical thinking. Males in that tribe willingly go through that ceremony 20+ times in their lifetime.

Pearl-clutching your way into validating pain-avoidance as a priority worth pursuing over other practical aspects of life might be the way for you, but it’s not watertight enough to impose on others.

Hm, or maybe you should allow them to partake in mental training because it could help them overcome challenges more efficiently in the future, making the trade-off worthwhile. I know the ideas of conditioning and building tolerance might be foreign to you, but they’re not foreign to everyone. This isn’t settled science or anything, so for the moment you might have to take a seat down from your high horse and accept the possibility of alternate views existing with plausible arguments behind them.

Oor, hear me out, ideas around morality and consent in the more nuanced-filled space of what would be considered psychological damage versus mental training are undoubtedly biased by the way any observer is raised and so impossible to claim that they can have absolute moral judgments placed on them without taking cultural relativism into account.

They made the big bold claims and moral accusations first.

No, no. You see, anything that would cause a privileged modern person discomfort is abuse. This includes the idea that the world is a tough place, the idea of anti-fragility as a mental adaptation to it, or even useful negativity; the idea that it could take actual blood, sweat, and tears to achieve something, they’re all abuse. /s ig.
