Israel is fucked in very similar ways but they're not antisemitic in the modern use of the word at least (i.e. hating jews). And nazi tends to include that too.

If he just said they're a genocidal regime I'd be with him on that, they did somehow manage to make russias invasion of ukraine look less bad in comparision.

That isn't the limitation though, it's the consequence. The phrasing of the tweet is extremely memable, but thinking about it for 5 seconds should make you realize that negative prices mean they REALLY need to get rid of it. Because having too much energy in the grid is a problem.

They can delete 6.5 billion accounts without claiming they are active users.

That just depends on what you consider the default state to be. Claiming that humans have self awareness, but other animals do not, implies a relationship between species and capability for self awareness. The null hypothesis would imply a lack thereof.

It would be correct and good to acknowledge that we simply don't know whether a given species is self-aware unless evidence points to one or the other direction. And that is very relevant for moral philosophy.

I've always found that assumption very weird and figure it's rooted in human exceptionalism. Like we must be super special somehow. The more natural assumption to me seems that other animals, given their similar biological makeup, think rather similarly to humans.

The impact in this case benefits lower income people as the proceeds are distributed equally regardless of income level. Though it does feel like it couldve just been an income tax.

Airtight packaging? I don't see many things not sold in plastic wrapping.

Not everyone is min wage, so the price increase will never be as high as the wage increase. Unless a products entire supply chain is only min wage workers.

Ads yes, everything else no. I haven't seen a musk tweet or any tweet from someone I don't follow that wasn't sponsored or an rt from someone I do follow at any point in the following tab.

Recently bought a thermometer/hygrometer. It said the external sensor is calibrated for -40 to 60°C (values might be a bit off but in that ballpark) while the internal one is calibrated for -20 to 100 (again might be a bit off).

There was a 1 star review of someone using it in his sauna (so around 100°C) and seeing a big discrepancy between data from the two sensors so "it clearly can't be very accurate".

If they're being violent themselves, or actively advocating for it (as in: in a way that could reasonably cause others to be violent). I'm also not gonna try to stop anyone for punching someone throwing out slurs, though I don't think it's a great response. If it's just "i know this person is a nazi for whatever reason but they act like a normal person" I'm clearly against it and think the punching person is also in the wrong (to be clear, both are). Advocating violence against a group for their beliefs is just something I never consider okay, even if I think those beliefs make them the scum of the earth.

And even with all that I'd probably still press the magic button that makes all nazis drop dead, but mainly because I believe that would probably improve society quite a bit rather than because I think it is justified against them (since I would argue that really isn't any different from genocide even if it doesn't quite fit the definiton). That might make me a bit of a hypocrite, but it's not like that button will ever exist.
