@Lensflare wait til you hear about the word conscientious, you know conscience as a personality characteristic

> Conscientiousness manifests in characteristic behaviors such as being neat, systematic, careful, thorough, and deliberate (tending to think carefully before acting)

🥺

literally the thing you complain about of me... hypocrisy

> to take obligations to others seriously

yet you say I lack this and then ditch, not acting conscientiously at all

@Lensflare oo theres also a really interesting one

in ASPD/antisocial places being triggered is a moral/conscience failure

the average person ofc doesnt see that. The most striking thing I've seen is people who love to watch murderer/psychopath/sociopath police tapes on youtube. they keep saying the murderer has no conscience... but the murderer does... he killed his sister because she betrayed the family, by making friends outside the family or something I dont actually remember the specific case

I mention the triggered, because me with my silly conscience did not realize you view politicians as an insult in its very category. so I gave you encouragement and a roadmap for becoming a politician (since I follow build people up, not bring them down -- hmm I wonder why I find you so annoying). you took it as an insult. empathetic people (which is also a conscience judgement, though few actually are empathetic) and ASPD people both have the conscience of "don't get triggered"

@Lensflare because there's no definition for conscience

it's subjective to the group, for example religion. philosophers thought you were "better" if you actually thought through your decisions. and governments think it's following laws

the average person equates it with some sort of morality, but morality has no definition either. philosophers made morality about stringent math like that kant guy, and in reality if you test people for their morality it differs extremely wildly with no rhyme or reason, as diverse as fetishes

hypocrisy cuz about 1/3 people find rudeness to violate conscience. so if you accuse someone of something then ditch them, in effect criticizing them to bring them down instead of making them better as people, that's amoral

bereftment of thought is also considered a moral failing btw... by intellectuals, by scientists. not the average person though

dismissing the person instead of the content of their argument shows a lack of conscience in debates...

isn't it beautiful

flourishing nature

@Lensflare rip so much for conscience I guess. I even read the wikipedia on it and the concept is actually made by religious people you don't like... see what I mean by hypocrisy of a politician?!

guess it was simply used as an insult

but how could you die fighting children with makeshift rockets when you have the most technically advanced and pertinently trained militarized society, plus the most invasively successful intel agencies in all of human history, smh

be intuitive, geeeez

@Lensflare I'm too self aware to lie. that's kind of the problem. I'm not defensive enough or cynical enough to start lying yet. maybe I'll get there though (*)

you are an atheist of camp science. you look like an authority on knowing what you're talking about if you tell people you don't know what you're talking about

I don't view what I suspect you're calling conscience to be a conscience. I do have a curiousity about what that may be though if that helps you to know

* fun fact, when I was 9 I started pathologically lying. everyone believed everything I ever said. then I realized why I was lying and thought I'd improve my quality of life by taking self responsibility. since then turns out nobody believes me anymore. I find this to be extremely funny in the most cynical and nihilistic way possible. imagine the scenario. how does one make sense of this? could you help, I wonder? what does the conscience say is the sense? is that the missing piece to this making sense? 😮 [hopes]

@whimsical eh I don't care about it I just like making cynical jokes about human hypocrisy

@CaptainRant TIL ! properties

just what

how does that even make sense

it apparently does nothing? why did they add this? *judgements about typescript users increasing*

I got it mixed up with ? for a second because I think the addition of ? to js was cool (I used to do whole item && item.property statements before before setting them. god I loved JavaScript. so easy to make adaptable crazy software, like mega softwares with plugin features 🤤)

and we say racism bad but prop up an ethno state war without even acknowledgement that that's what it is. moral west I guess. rules for thee but not for the politicians

@Lensflare sucking at things brings in the most money

you sell dreams and never deliver and people think if they throw more money at you surely you'll deliver but you won't

so you sell your self esteem for material goods

politicians work the same way. you'd make a great politician. it's all about knowing what to promise while doing something else with the other hand. cultural social awareness and control abilities

the grift cultures are merging

the thing that's annoying to me is I actually love all those things just not like that lmao

@whimsical never seen it so til then it is slave

what

I thought the company wasn't allowing you to change it

where I worked I was not allowed to change the code in certain codebases. didn't matter if it was formatting or adding a comment

the culture was that if you did that stuff you had to do an actually management approved refactoring period (and ofc easiest way to get that would be if more developers complained until management relented)

smh now I'm the bad guy somehow here

at that point use AI for vibe coding so he has to read AI slop and you don't have to read the codebase!

that's how those things work, right? right?

we are but slaves

@whimsical well they're paying you. all these guys do is give me more expensive drugs when i ask for the old drugs

shameless

@whimsical they ignore me

psychiatrists dispense drugs anyway

guy gives me drugs known to make people depressed. i say I feel depressed for 6 months. he pretends it isn't real

great professionals

i don't like shaders

@D-4got10-01 ah, and here I theorized polish people are made in the fires of mordor

@whimsical pfft trolling is def a public service

@D-4got10-01 they sound quite responsible lol

@D-4got10-01 ikr I wondered if it's romantic. the director I worked with before; he wasn't a bad looking guy. maybe she saw him treating me well & wanted to put a wedge in that. I did wonder about that

thing is they were both Indian. I really think people should accept racism & it will lead to more world peace... like there's no reason for her to think that Id want to date an Indian guy. even though he was very good looking & a solid partner. he was also married. I helped him plan his honeymoon first time we worked together

but he didn't hit on me or has any interest in me I'm 100% sure & I wouldn't ever have any interest in him. my genetics likes white guys because I'm white. it still surprises me we don't count that as racist. but come on. it's at least accepted...

idiots. idiots everywhere though. nobody thinks about anything. they just react irrationally and emotionally all the time. I'm the weirdo that writes too much!

... she was ALSO married, but she didn't seem ethical

@Lensflare people retroactively pretend they were joking to avoid rejection. you only have rejection for me so why would I want to hide myself so I can maintain acceptance, if I have no acceptance to begin with? I clearly was not moved by the rejection... so trying to con acceptance out of you would not be a motivation for me

nor do social sanctions work on me. I don't know if you are capable of noticing. I actually act _against_ social sanctions. as soon as you reveal that you socially sanction something, I do more of that thing and every time I do it in an "excited" manner. I'm literally making a joke of you. trolling you. do you get it? you lose your mind and I laugh. which actually does make you funny to me! (not of your own volition though, which is why that's a funny joke statement prior, EXAGGERATED EXCITEMENT)

easy way to troll me is to socially sanction me. I'll always react with reactance. you'd be playing on my psychological weakness and know me so well 🥺, for once lol
