Evil is not a 100% settled matter. For example, some people believe that saving another person's life if you can is a moral obligation and to not do so would be an evil act. I gather from your refusal to even consider stealing something in order to save the planet you are in the other camp.
Theft or fraud would definitely be preferable to the loss of the planet. Utilitarianism aside, sometimes doing the wrong thing actually is the better thing to do. Anyone who helped slaves escape via the Underground Railroad or smuggled Jews out of Nazi Germany would not be considered evil for their actions, and those could easily be construed as theft (in a gross way) or fraud.
This reminds me of when I was in basic training. The drill sgts would give us new recruits a task that none of us knew how to do, purposefully without guidance, and then leave. One guy would try and start doing it, always the incorrect way, and everyone else would just copy that person.
The specific example is beside the point. There are any number of events that can happen outside of a driver's control, human or computer, that could cause this or a similar predicament, e.g. the truck could have just changed lanes abruptly without signaling
If you only read it on Kindle you would miss out on the whole section where the text is printed in boxes that are mirrored on opposite sides of the page. On that note, where did you even find a Kindle version?
Whenever you create any kind of art, be it a story, a picture, or whatever, I would argue you reveal something about yourself. I remember reading about Philippe Halsman, a photographer who did this series of portraits featuring celebrities jumping. His theory was that when his subjects were in the air they were so preoccupied that they would inadvertently let their guard down and let their true selves out. He did a portrait of Marilyn Monroe like this and afterwards when he told her his reasoning behind it she was so mortified she refused to ever work with him again
Some books absolutely do not lend themelves to a digital format. I'm currently in the middle of House of Leaves and there are sections of it that play with the fact they are printed on paper.
I'm not sure how serious to take this article. It's the author's only post and while they complain about the use of a fake profile picture, they literally use another person from the same stock photo they claim the landlord used.
Wow, awesome tool! Seriously, thank you for this. This really brings back that sense of wonder I experienced when I was younger and began exploring the internet in the early 90s
A great example of tossing the baby out with the bath water. The grocery store chain across the street from my house went bankrupt and closed all of their stores. A truck assembly company tried to get a variance to take over the vacant building they left. Zoning can definitely be improved but I see no advantage, for the average person at least, in discarding it completely
I absolutely do not trust Brave. I tried their browser on my iPhone for a few months. Always chose the most private settings, don't save history, etc, so whenever I opened the app there was no evidence it had even been used before. After one particular update, I started the app and it opened up literally dozens of tabs. Going through them I realized each tab was a site I had visited in the past. Left a nasty review on the App store that they never responded to, but they pushed out another update almost immediately. Never again. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if years from now we find out the CIA was behind Brave, like they were with Crypto AG
I really like the sound of this but I don't trust Brave. I used Brave on iPhone as soon as it came out, always in private mode so as to not save any history or open tabs. A while back, after an update, I opened the app and it immediately opened dozens and dozens of tabs, all of which I recognized as being tabs I had opened in the past. It almost seemed be opening pages back to when I first used the app. I obviously left a complaint in the reviews. The developers quickly pushed another update but never addressed how or why this was even possible.
