- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
The line and reasoning is borrowed from “Bimbo - a philosophical analysis” : youtu.be/FeRIE6JDhCQ , the line “I’m not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life” is a rebuttal of Nietzsche type attitudes.

I’m not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life, so just go with what you’re feeling. You don’t need to rationalize it for it to be valid.

He was on the lighter side, from mainland China.
- Comment on Are Asian Americans in the US more likely or less likely to get harassed by law enforcement compared to other racial groups? 1 week ago:
I’m white and the only time cops have been a dick to me was when I was with my Asian friend. It’s happened more than once. But the one time I was speeding by myself the police let me off on a warning and were rather nice about it. It’s anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt.

Is energy being conserved? Because otherwise you would have an infinite energy source…
- Comment on How Tortillas Lost Their Magic 4 weeks ago:
Great read, seems relevant given Mexico’s own drive to bring back domestic tortillas.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I mean we should all be able to leave our desk to go pick up a prescription for ourselves or a family member. That’s the problem, not that parents are the only ones with the privilege.
The discrimination in regards to parents is real. In an interview I was asked if I would be able to keep up with a demanding schedule because I have kids. In my experience, women with children get the opposite end of that consideration than with men. This is messed up any way you slice it.

I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

Isn’t that just what we say when we imprison people?
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 5 weeks ago:
First all, glad your friend recognized this.
I found this article to be a prescient good grounding: wagingnonviolence.org/…/10-things-to-do-if-trump-…
I’m finding local communities to participate in (potlucks, picnics, movie night, anything that doesn’t spend more money). Sending holiday cards to my neighbors, anything to connect and integrate because what comes next will test all our bonds.

They’re onto killing a bigger fish: The National Labor Review Board.

They don’t have a problem with what is being done, just who are the ones doing it.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 month ago:
I want his story to be told then have a jury nullify the case. But I don’t see how any of that will happen.

Seems like they will be pushing for more work requirements, less funding, and fewer legal protections (ie pre-existing conditions)
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 1 month ago:
Idk, white folks voting for Trump is an issue if you ask me, a white guy. Too many white folks sane washing his shit. Morning Joe went from “he’s a fascist” to “let’s put out differences aside”. Other whities need to realize this is a grift that will likely kill your own.
- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 1 month ago:
Why should I feel sorry for you and answer your question?
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 2 months ago:
Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn’t get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don’t understand camp, and so they don’t get that it’s a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.

Male FUPA. The lower abdomen above the genitals that is extra fatty on the individual.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 2 months ago:
We can keep telling ourselves Mark Cuban’s “opportunity economy” was good enough but objectively it was a flop with working class voters. Either it was a messaging failure or it wasn’t populist enough, Bernie is saying it is the latter. If it was a messaging failure, then we’re likely to conclude it is because our media landscape is toxic. Bernie would agree and say that is why we need a populist message to cut through.

NAFTA and Wall Street bailouts come to mind.
In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until there are no billionaires left.
- Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement? 2 months ago:
You might be on to something in the sense that coming back with a more inclusive response is a better approach. I don’t think that makes them “right” though.

Lol
- Comment on BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold 2 months ago:
I don’t think the content of the threat matters for the IDF’s objective. If we’re to be cynical, the half-ass excuse is a geopolitical posturing to show how brazen they can be with their genocide and possibly a way to demoralize the Democrat’s base before an election.
- Comment on BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold 2 months ago:
It’s not odd if you want to cause a mass migration of people to brake the front lines.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 2 months ago:
You summed it up correctly. The thing is the presidential race used to be a horse show, but that format was somehow easily hijacked by a rodeo clown.

I clearly was talking about Judaism and you are not. “We” are talking about two different things 🤷

Why do you think the Book of Revelations speaks to the Jewish faith? I am not of the opinion that Jews read the new testament.
- Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell? 3 months ago:
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart – and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained
