Hey it’s me, your cousin…

The point where I was using my master’s in computer engineering to design physical chips? You know, using my fundamental understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the physics that come along with it.

No, you’re arguing the decision to kill a living being against their will is problematic, in which I wholeheartedly agree.

To be able to call the method problematic implies you find killing against will acceptable.

This particular method (inert gas asphyxiation) is absolutely not problematic when killing people that choose to do so: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarco_pod

Last sentence, second paragraph:

Anyone with a card can bring up to two guests to the club during each visit, the company stipulates.

Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.

Oh, so with that logic you believe the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea is a democratic republic.

I guess you’ve also never heard of the English idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover”.

People also need things now, not later.

While I agree with your strategy, I also have enough awareness that this strategy doesn’t work for everyone.

If someone needs a bed to sleep, but they only have enough for a cheap bed, they buy the cheap bed and hope that when it wears out they can buy a better, higher quality one. They don’t forgo a bed and have worse health, they get what they can to get by.

Go tell the single mother of four that she bought a garbage table so her kids have a place to eat and she should’ve bought the quality table that costs two months of her rent, because it lasts longer.

Yes, in the end they spend more, but in the present, that’s what their circumstances can afford them.

Not everyone has the luxury to spend thousands on furniture at one time like you do apparently.

My standards however will always remain on “No government has any business in private stuff.”

I never thought I’d see someone openly admit, even advocate, that they’re willing to host child sexual assault material on hardware they own. That’s a sad hill to die on.

I don’t really care about anything else you’ve written to justify your blanket standards either. All it takes is one example (CSAM) to show the depravity of your standards.

I’m all about privacy, even so far as to emigrate from the US to a country in the EU for privacy. But I have compassion and empathy and am also aware of ethical behavior, morality, and decency.

Privacy is not more valuable than protecting innocent human lives. If you can’t see that, you are lost. I’m sorry.
