Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Morals? It feels like they pretend that being a shareholder obliges you to not care about things like air, or water, or not having products that kill you when you use them. They're so far from caring about morals that biological self-interest doesn't rate. Because corporations don't breathe. 120 2
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Can and I'd say ought! But most stick with a purpose of "Conduct and transact all lawful business activities allowed in [whatever state]", which falls right back to shareholder promacy 010 1

Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I meeeeean.... TECHNICALLY right. Dodge v Ford Motor (1919) is only ruled in Michigan and upheld in Delaware, and that only says that corporations must act in the interests of their shareholders. But it seems people have gone all in on the idea that profit and benefit are the same thing. 150 5
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Immunity to imprisonment or execution is one of their superpowers. Transmute consequence to fine, or something like that. 0341 34
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Crap like this is why corporate personhood drives me as nuts as it does. We invented a new, imaginary type of person, gave them a ton of superpowers, and made sure that they legally weren't ALLOWED to have a motive other than shareholder profit. Like Homelander without mommy issues. 3804 80
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Embarrassingly, I mostly remember from a bit of standup bit talking about censorship with *. The line is "Seems like the offensive word in that sentence would be 'finger', used in this case as a verb, or a 'doing' word. But you wouldn't print that on a headline by spelling it "f**ger" 010 1

Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The whole weirdness with ads on FA, along with the general absurdity of ad companies in general when dealing with anything even remotely designed for an adult audience genuinely makes me wonder if there's some market niche for places that would genuinely want to market to adults. 000 0
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 05/10/2026To the first, I think that misusing power recognizing that misuse and fessing up to it for punishment is almost as trustworthy as acting rightly. For the second: The first half feels impossible to avoid while still alive. The second bit makes sense and needs my consideration. Thank you for this! 120 2
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm genuinely asking, because I don't fully understand - why? 190 9
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I constantly undervalue just how unique and special a place FA is. A place that is so inclusive of all parts of this community, rather than just the marketable parts, is worth more than I have to give. 010 1
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That and the fact that this is the sort of thing that one discusses with the victim the day after and agree that assault had happened kinda implies that there's some possibility that an act has any chance of NOT being thought of assault. 0410 41
Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In the absence of other information and assuming intentional choice of words here - If things did happen exactly as described, isn't this kinda what we as a society want the person to do? Understand that what they did was very wrong, cooperate with an investigation, and take the consequences? 2860 86

Otts @skanott.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I would say "Yes, but not in a way that is unique to you." I honestly have no idea how the social part of social media ever works, or how to have something grow past having a short conversation on a particular thing. 000 0
