@lowqualityfacts Haha, jokes on you, libs, I'm so poor that I make the government spend money just to determine that I'm too poor to be worth the money to determine if I'm too poor for...

Hold on, I'm confused.

@antifaburrito Of course it is, how will they get you to spend that paycheck on useless junk if you're not? Silly goose.

@briankrebs It just now occurs to me that the nature of software, being nebulous and difficult to verify for the average person, will present an increasing opportunity for abuse by corporations and states.

Think of what can be done with the push of a button as more infrastructure is controlled by software- traffic lights and web traffic prioritized for those with a higher social credit score- Where your car could face more red lights, making you late for work- Where you can't apply for jobs because your internet traffic has been deprioritized- Where every piece of technology, that which is increasingly vital in the information age, can be made to malfunction. Streetlamps, smartphones, traffic lights, elevators... Vehicles.

A car is a deadly weapon. What happens when the corporate entity that made the software wants you dead?

@IndyRichard @scorpiontongue Communication requires more than just a dialogue. On both sides, it requires understanding, comprehension, and evaluation before someone can begin to integrate your words into their understanding of the world.

Those who refuse or fail to participate in any step along the way are simply put, dismissing you. We should always make an effort to be active listeners, earnestly evaluate what we've been presented with, and proportion our beliefs to the evidence. This is what will set us apart and allow us to build strong communities.
