• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not good and doesn’t give life meaning.

  It can be used as a way to see what you can let go of. Painful, but like, therapy-painful. Still hard to call it “good”, but responding that way makes it least bad and can make it go away. Face it and process it.

  Piling it on, yourself or somebody else, is still dumb and always will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political Views⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why you always listen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anger spreads. It hates everything that doesn’t inflame it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instacart is urging the Mayor of New York City to veto a bill that would require the company to pay its workers minimum wage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess they don’t have what it takes to stay in business.

  Maybe they could get better at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the mistake, because some “hard drugs” are fine, they’re just hangups for idiots who got tragic amounts of power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Snek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That only creates additional, trickier questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everyone, just a ton of people who are literal actual nazis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the more people who deal with their own stuff, the better everything gets. It’s the foundation for everything else.

  Great point about trying to make other people do stuff by violence (right) and shame (left). Violence is far worse than shame; both are us trying to make other people do stuff instead of working on our own crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can intelligently read/listen to only as much crappy stuff as my mindfulness can extract nutrients from and shit out. I take active internal notes on the ratio of helpful nutrients to amount of shit produced, even for sources that are usually good.

  There are many evil billionaire-employed full-time professional liars trying to make me stupid enough to believe that being pissed off is the same as being informed. It isn’t, and fortunately once you catch the gross corporate overlord fear stench they leave in you as they talk, you can internally identify them every time. If they make you more likely to hate and distrust, they are acting in service of bad shit in that moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly, the missing element is an awareness of what other people are likely going through, a thing that awakens your natural caring for other people when you see it without deflecting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resources⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely use empathy on someone who has none. That’s how they practice.

  Even seeing somebody else do it neurologically strengthens those circuits in the brain. This is the actual front line, the human brain, and saying not to USE EMPATHY ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE NONE is a command to retreat in the very moment it is your turn to act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will we have reached enough productivity?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To clarify, this is the thinking that is towards the core of the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No he doesn’t. He pays someone to say he does.

  And if he does (he doesn’t), that’s obviously terrible for every reason you already understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨feeley feels⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also “cunty” can happen when you ignore “feely” too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm doing my part⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if they aren’t acting on it, geez.

  If they woke up one day, realized to their horror they wanted to do some fucked up shit, and then just never did, that’s crappy for them to have to deal with, and they’re a champion for not making it anybody else’s problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fix for this is realizing how much you stress yourself out when you fuck over everybody around you, suddenly putting them in a worse mood, making them far less fun to be around, and putting yourself and loved ones around drivers who are more frazzled, and generally predisposing your neighbors to attack you rather than help you.

  Anybody who does that, and calls it “selfish”, is fuckin dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a badass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Workers striking by choice could lose unemployment benefits in blue states under GOP proposal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  De-escalation is for violence, not labor strikes. Go on a bigger strike in response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exhaustion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they gave me a second maybe I could focus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t pay teachers enough and sometimes it shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good energy here.

  Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft Recall.

  Worse than all but the worst viruses, for real. Takes screenshots of everything (everything), and stores the contents where hackers can steal them easily.

  It’ll probably get quietly reactivated every few updates, so you can never really afford not to be checking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alligator Auschwitz⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do people get so crazy.

  I mean I know fox news but how are they dumb enough to fall for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m becoming very di-senlightened by Lemmy

  You sure don’t seem very senlightened, let alone twice so.

  If you’re not young, then you’ve had longer to observe systemic bullshit, so I’m not sure why you’re trying to imply that people should become dumber and more other-blind over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Republicans are downright nonsensical and suicidal in their shittiness, for whatever weird reason. Obviously, if they thought it through, they wouldn’t do that…or vote for trump or support anything he’s doing.

  The real question is how to get them to actually notice that they don’t get what they want when they do awful shit. They tend to just argue and whinge and turn red-faced and whiny instead. Then: more horrible shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How’s your son’s dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn’t mind…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anybody who thinks about that question enough always realizes they don’t want that kind of power and control. Sometimes people think about it partly, get excited by the promises of power, but only misrepresented by their own misunderstandings, and mistakenly think they do.

  Nobody actually does, just not everybody realizes it fully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Legally, you’re supposed to do your fucking job and get America such good healthcare it makes Europe blush. Not die on camera in the middle of a photoshoot before your mouth can fully form your war crimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Try it today!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No.
