  they dont want to make anyones lives better except their own. Pieces of shit like those have been bitter about any improvement to womens rights because they had it good being able to abuse women and want it back. Also minorities are good scapegoat for any problems they cause, so their rights have to go too or the whole thing collapses eventually as people might catch on who is really to blame.

  if you want to, but i’m interested to understand in case i wrote my post in unclear way originally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  now i’m even more confused

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  again this does not apply to what i was saying, loving someone doesnt cost you. Frankly i cant tell how you are interpreting me, so i dont know how to clarify what i mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  with mtg cards, they drain your money so that kind of works too. But rescuing animals or learning something doesnt apply here because it doesnt take anything from you (unless you are kind of insane). Or rather they dont cost too much in terms of invaluable resources like your mental or physical health, just your time which you have to give to everything anyway. Stuff like drugs diminish you being able to enjoy other things and drain your health and relationships. Even if you keep those under control, it still takes something from you, just a bit less.

  Though anything can become an addiction too, but if positive things become that then you might have other underlying issues rather than those things themselves causing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  imo, false happiness is something that takes more than it gives. So drugs is good example, maybe they make you feel good but eventually they stop doing that and start taking from you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  depends how you are enjoying them. If you are delusional and think the stories are real or something, I guess its just that its pretty fragile happiness which might cause harm to maintain it. If you are just enjoying the experiencing those stories then there is nothing negative in that. Ultimately its about how much good does something bring to your life.

  Who cares about how it looks to others, unless you are causing harm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  even though there are enough signatures now, they still need more to be sure. Some percentage of the signatures will be invalid(people unable to spell their own names and fakes for example) so there has to be big enough safetymargin. Ross made video about it too.

  So until the time runs out, everyone should make sure the safetymargin is as big as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  people in government are citizens but not every citizen is in government. But every citizen should have equal right and opportunity to be in the government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.

  Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I made an account over decade ago, never really used it even back then because I was suspicious even then. Then i tried logging in years after that and they demanded passport or some other identification to even let me log in.

  So i sent them a picture i drew myself, i would post it here but i dont think i have the file anymore. It was basically like a mockup passport with picture of a clown and a stamp with picture of middle finger. I hoped they would just ban my account or something since that is about best I can hope. They would never abide by gdpr request and even if they say they did there is no way to know if they actually did.
