@chaosprime @wirehead2501 what else would it be?
@XaiaX @wirehead2501 hmm. that slope would have to be coated in fullerenes to be that slippery, but integrity as a value is important, yeah.

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 i guess i'm just unimpressed at destroying shareholder value to create the illusion of preserving shareholder value. -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 that's the fault of the tort system, though, not the media corporations. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 Maybe. I think some of them are true believers. How else would we get CD + Tape dual “value” packs? -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 oh, yeah, sure, they'd have to be, given that the state of affairs i've outlined is an unsayable, legally.

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 I don’t think it’s any slipperier than rape jokes normalizing sexual assault, or casual racism, etc. -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 mmm yes let me go get my ten foot pole so i can not wave it around somewhere far away from that assertion. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 I just mean in the idea that normalization of some “small” behavior can aggregate to larger problems. -
@XaiaX@chaosprime counterpoint: "welfare state", war on drugs, TSA -
@wirehead2501@chaosprime I don’t know that those are counterpoints. They’re just the result of the normalization of authoritarianism. ;) -
@XaiaX@chaosprime in the sense that allowing some low level immoral behavior is better than the alternative. -
@wirehead2501@chaosprime I reject the notion that carrying a 4 oz. bottle of something onto a plane is immoral. ;p
