  I didn’t know there were other care-creatures besides bears

    The Care Bear Cousins was a spinoff that didn’t last long but made an impression.

      Care cousins call!

    The care Bears movie was most illuminating in that regard

      Swiftheart was my favorite. I loved all the cousins. There was a penguin too, if I recall correctly. I was obsessed with Care Bears as a kid. Seeing this image hit me like a truck. The point of the meme completely lost to me as I drown in a sea of nostalgia.

  Atheists: what are some good comforting words to use in place of religious/metaphysical crap like this or thoughts and prayers?

  • blackris@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I wish you the best.

    I wish you a lot of strength to get through the situation.

      Classics! Work well for most things.

    The most comforting thing you can generally offer someone is presence and acknowledgment in my experience as an atheist nurse.

    Comforting people with your voice is a form of magic and atheists don’t believe in magic, so they haven’t developed any incantations.

      “I things are bad now, but I can 100% guarantee you won’t got to Hell when you die.”

      source
    • realitista@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      We need to think of some then!

      How about:

      “On average, the chances of you dying in the next week are only .1%, so buck up!”

      Nah, comforting people is a form of social interaction. We are social animals and that helps us to survive bad situations. No magic in that.

    Talking in terms of hope or wishing them luck is a good substitute. Serves the same purpose, but doesn’t carry the god baggage. It also has the extra benefit of sounding more sincere, since it’s just non-standard enough to give the impression that you actually put thought into your well-wishes without sounding seriously unusual.

    If I were dying, or lost my job, or had a bereavement; I would find any one of these to be incredibly comforting:

    May the force be with you

    Live long and prosper

    Here’s looking at you kid

    My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get

    You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

    Cowabanga

    Apes together strong

    If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead.

    You have my sword, and my bow, and my axe.

    Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.

    I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

    I’ll be back

    Which would be worse, to live a monster or to die a good man

  I used to hate seeing thoughts and prayers crap, but as I’ve grown, I’ve become more tolerant, sometimes you see something and you cant do a thing directly to help and you just wanna put the reality of your feelings out into the universe, it’s a hope thing.
