  • Well something tells me Hammurabi wasn’t aware of drone bombs, so forgive me if I skip over that asshole’s opinion on things.

    There’s a lot of industries out there, most of them are bad. Whether it’s oil&gas, aerospace, automotive, even basic scientific research…pretty much always ends up doing harm. Pure software engineering isn’t any better off – I mean every engineer who worked at Facebook in the 2010s has their hands bloodied with a genocide they facilitated. Or people who work on ring, or other doorbells, being used by ICE to hunt, torture, and in some cases kill, immigrants. A DOORBELL.

    Humans do terrible things, engineers enable humans. You can easily claim there was no way to predict the path from doorbells to murder, but…wait, no, the EFF predicted this from the moment go. So you have engineers warned their work would do harm, they keep working, their work does harm. That’s meaningful contribution from my pov.













  • No it’s not, but it is a chosen one story with story progression tied to traditional seasonal holidays, scenes and battles replicating key events from the books, and a mentor whose sacrifice triggers the defeat of the big bad and the conclusion of the story.

    I’m not saying every plot point is predictable, but the “oh wow the key was a portkey and saved us from being killed” was predictable long before the dragon appeared and it doesn’t really get more complex from there.

    Wow did you just say Jews are greedy, bank controlling, hook-nosed people? What a racist.

    I do actually wonder where the nose thing came from tbh. I know some people who do but I wouldn’t say that group is prominently Jewish. I know the bank stuff is historical and caused by oppression then used by oppressors to further opress.
