I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that you aren't making the choice to not let someone die.
People are just expecting you to be able to handle being asked, "Why did you let 10 people die when there was an option for you to only let 1 person die instead?"
The trolley being on the warpath isn't your fault; but you did have the option to reduce the number of deaths by taking action. Through your choice, an objectively larger number of people suffered, died, or lost a loved one. And for some actual reason you didn't pull the lever other than "I'm not a murderer."
We understand you aren't a murderer. You aren't intending to hurt anyone. But through your action, you can reduce the number of people murdered. Don't be surprised when people are confused at your lack of rationale.
tbh, OP is definitely wrong here. I see shitty behavior from shitty people in every community on Lemmy. The linux community is not special in this regard. And the passive aggressive attitude is not justified because "something should have been simple". It's linux. Can it be frustrating and complex? Sure. Is it ever helpful to allow that frustration to translate into a social media post about the entire software ecosystem? No, lol.
I won't downvote you for having an unpopular opinion. But I'll definitely downvote you for putting passive aggressive shit like "can't speak bad about linux on lemmy now can we" in your post title. Lemmy isn't a monolith and your experiences with downvote brigading and dogpiling isn't universal.
Here's a sincere question, and I don't mean it in a condescending way:
Are you a teenager? Like, a 15-18 year old?
Based on all of these replies you've made in this thread, you are so distraught by this perceived realiziation that someone could comment, "I love eating my own shit" and you'd respond saying they only eat their own shit to increase their likelihood of getting laid. People have given plenty of legitimate examples in the comment section and you just always write a paragraph about how "um actually" it's just a pipeline to sex/reproduction.
Why are you on Lemmy right now? Are you expressing your distress because you think it will help you pass on your genes?
Before the inevitable downvotes: I do not endorse crypto, but I understand it better than most people because I work with it every day at my job. I am forced to understand it simply because my job requires it. So I will address the points you made and why I think they are weak arguments against crypto.
The barrier to entry is daunting
Is it? You go to one of the many mainstream crypto brokers like Kraken or Binance and you make an account and start trading. Is that any more daunting than going to a bank website and opening up a new checking account?
Almost everytime I hear about it, it is related to a scam.
Okay? I hear about scams involving the US Dollar every single day. I'm not boycotting the US Dollar because it is commonly involved in scams. Every single unit of currency is subject to this problem; crypto is not special or unique in this regard.
The freedom it gives you to get what you need is the same freedom that allows organized crime, terrorist organizations, and sanctioned countries avoid scrutiny a lot easier.
This is the same argument the feds use to argue against cryptography as a whole. "Bad people can use this technology for bad things, so we should be against it.". The cartels murder thousands of people every year over the US Dollar but nobody's boycotting that for some reason.
Most are a risky investment
Anyone getting into crypto who thinks it isn't a risky investment has been lied to. No different from a shitty financial advisor (not a fiduciary) telling you to invest in meme stocks and blindly believing them.
IMO the best genuine argument against crypto is that proof-of-work models are an environmental fucking disaster (which is not to say that printing paper money does not also have a disastrous environmental impact). Proof-of-stake models are better but are not perfect. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Crypto was founded under idealistic principles but it has been implemented in very flawed ways. But I say don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
If it can reassure you, it’s not an active thing, our brain just sees signs and does the interpretation of how the person feels all by itself
This varies from person to person. Personally, I'm alexithymic. I had to study body language and facial expressions actively in order to stop being completely blind to other peoples' emotions/mental states. I solely relied on verbal communication to interpret peoples' intentions for the first 25 or so years of my life. Made a lot of shit really hard!
Doing much better these days though.
Is simply answering OP's question considered "butthurt" now?
You say "everyone" in this thread is butthurt. Who, specifically, is butthurt in this thread? Call someone out by name.
