Supporting the least bad option makes the bad option less visble. It is a real and constructive action one can take to make things better and reduce human suffering.

Not supporting the least bad option because it is still bad, makes one feel better and morally cleaner. It does not make things better. It leaves no dent in evil or human suffering.

Actively dissuading other people from choosing the least bad option makes one feel better than others. It is a real and destructive action that increases human suffering.

People who choose moral masturbation over real and beneficial action are not actually driven by empathy for the suffering children of the world. Do not accept for a second that they genuinely want anything else than to feel good.

Is this an opinion with a question mark glued onto it?

What happened to Ye’s attempted political carreer? Last I cared to check he was boldly planning to run as presidential candidate in the US stop-calling-us-nazi party.

Reality is scarier.

Trump’s rhetoric is increasingly mirroring Nazi talking points, making him popular among Americans.

Good evening everyone, I am an amateur runner and I was wondering if there was a sub dedicated to this. Thank you

“Myth” is a word I’d end that sentence with.

Keep in mind that you, along with everyone else, know very little all in all.

The things you do know will be important to you, naturally. Their understanding and their importance will also feel obvious, also naturally.

So anyone not knowing these obvious important things will instinctively feel like an absolute idiot to you.

This is a mental trap. Try to avoid it. The less respect you have for others, the less able you will be to really listen to other standpoints and learn from them, leading to a vicious cycle of alienation.

Please lie instead thank you <3

Please let it have a cute little McDonald’s antenna, instead of there being a McDonald’s sign in the background.

He’s been crafting and stockpiling them like a confused prepper.

It takes a very trashy tabloid to stretch for causality in two events 1000 km and 100 days apart, with no connecting evidence.

If you just do the simple one-pass zero-ing out, suggested a few times here, the data is only recoverable in theory. There are labs that do it, but they charge thousands of USD for a drive and giving limited results.

Unless you are being actively targeted by deep pockets, that’s plenty good enough.

Troll post insisting people are in the wrong for not believing there are tiny ghosts in the backyard.

Then a bunch of attempts at saying dumb things using polite words over and over again hoping someone will respond rudely.

That is your extrapolation, not necessarily his. And not mine from reading it.

That’s just a longwinded way of saying “they were dumb”.

No.

I am not dumb for not knowing there is a dog in my yard and thinking the rustling I hear is from birds.

If I go look in my yard and see a dog, there is nothing wrong with me for thinking aha the sounds are from dog.

I think it still holds as a metaphor.

Pencil strokes can be erased easily, but pen strokes can’t. They will still fade over time, or the library can catch fire, but it’s not under your direct control.

More like this, and there will be hope for the future.

How long do I have to live with them, and what do I win at the end?

“I feel a void inside me. Brb.”
