  • I don’t know why you’re conflating me with another person. You asked why people downvote without engaging with the argument. No one answered you. That includes Rhoeris. I took pity and gave you a detailed organised answer that was hopefully catered to ND comprehension styles, and you haven’t engaged with what I was saying. Since then all I’ve gotten from you is emotionally disregulated lashing out.

    That being said Rhoeris is also discussing circumstantial commonality with Nazis not actually calling the person a Nazi.

    If you don’t understand (or choose to ignore) the importance of context over content in NT human interactions you’ll always be confused about what people downvote/upvote/react to and why.










  • This is exactly it. Hurting things, destroying things, these are pleasurable behaviours. Look at how young children play, how we have to teach them to be gentle with animals until they can develop enough empathy to be trusted.

    Empathy is what counterbalances the pleasure of sadism. If you feel bad you hurt something, that’s a pain that is much greater than the pleasure a normal person gains from sadism.

    Some people, on purpose or by accident, have shitty empathy.



  • The idea of letting young engineers at a university design production equipment is WILD to me. Universities make PROTOTYPES. The gap between prototype and reliable production equipment is so big you could drive a bus through it.

    A good production engineer is worth their weight in gold but when you have shitty ones you’re better off letting the workers run the ship. At least they know what’s happening and where the hangups are. You’ll know a good engineer because they’re down talking to the lead hands on the shop floor because they want to understand what’s actually happening and run ideas through the shop before they fuck with things.
