Neurotypical Subconscious: Maybe a nice Seiko watch would make me more attractive?

MooseBoys, to memes in Drug dealers are watching the Chocolate Milk Is Healthy debate very closely

Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.

MooseBoys, to memes in Morality

A moral absolutist would argue that most, or even all, are wrong in one way or another. One can be a moral absolutist without claiming to be able to evaluate the morality of any particular scenario.

To provide an analogous example, there is a two-player game called Hex for which it has been proven that there exists a dominant strategy for the first player, but a generalized winning strategy is unsolved. One can soundly assert that such a strategy exists without knowing what it is. Likewise, its not fundamentally invalid to assert that there exist absolute moral truths without knowing what they are.

MooseBoys, to memes in Morality

the fact that all morals are made up

You’re starting from the basic axiom of moral relativism. A moral absolutist would disagree with this axiom.

MooseBoys, to memes in Morality

If there are no moral truths, then serial killers have done nothing wrong for example

This does not follow from moral relativism. Moral relativism simply states the morality of serial killers is determined by people rather than an absolute truth.

For example, if you add the detail of “serial killer of humans”, most societies would deem that morally wrong. In contrast, “serial killer of wasps” would be considered perfectly fine by many. A moral relativist would say the difference between these two is determined by society.

You can, of course, claim that murdering humans is not morally wrong. A moral absolutist might say “you’re wrong because X”, while a moral relativist might say “I don’t agree because X”.

MooseBoys, to technology in Streaming giants have banded together for lobbying power

Yo-ho, all together, hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!

MooseBoys, to nottheonion in Product Content Matters: 70% Of Online Shoppers Say It Can Make Or Break A Sale

What is product content?

I had to read most of the article to figure this out, too. It’s referring to the product description and accompanying media. Some sites show you little more than a 64-pixel thumbnail and generic info like “Size: 10, Color: Blue”. Having “more content” means high-quality and accurate product photos, sizing charts, etc. Considering that definition, it seems obvious that buyers are reluctant to pay for something if they’re not even sure what they’re getting.

MooseBoys, to asklemmy in How many showers do you take a day?

On days I leave the house, I shower once in the morning. That used to be 5-6 times per week, but since COVID I’ve been working from home, so that number is 1-2. I’ll also shower after swimming or strenuous exercise, though that’s rare for me.

MooseBoys, to linuxmemes in Superiority brings controversy

Something can cost $0 and still participate in the market. The cost to use something can even be negative $ (e.g. Bing paying you to use it).

MooseBoys, to moviesandtv in Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’

I’ll save you a trip to your shrink and armchair-diagnose you with NPD.

MooseBoys, to technology in California bill to have human drivers ride in autonomous trucks is vetoed by governor

union leaders and truck drivers said would save hundreds of thousands of jobs

There might be good reasons to have human drivers in autonomous trucks, at least for a while. But “saving jobs” is not one of them.

MooseBoys, to asklemmy in Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

Alright, alright… Apart from sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health… what have the Romans ever done for us?

MooseBoys, to lemmyshitpost in But my WiFi is just fine!

When it comes to “the internet is down”, much of the time it is something within your control

This really isn’t true anymore. Most people use all-in-one modem+router+AP. I’d guess that unless you’re one to tinker with your router, there’s a much better chance you’ve tripped a breaker or GFCI than there is that you’ve somehow broken your home wifi.
