dear saint luigi: please please please end musk. and as many of his acolytes as possible.

Reddit is owned and operated by assholes. Don’t even try to use it.

I was hoping you had some insight and revelations about how to use Finder.

I also get mad at people who drive cars instead of walking or taking mass transit, if that helps.

But someone smoking near you makes your day undeniably, immediately, worse.

If you’re sitting in a room that smells uncomfortably of cheese, and someone rips a juicy fart on your face, it would be unreasonable to be like “who cares about my shart it smells like cheese in here”

People are emotional. They feel things, and then make up justifications for it afterwards. We all do this to some extent, in some contexts or others, but some people seem to do it the majority of the time.

Someone who smokes and has a choice between admitting they fucked up, they’re hurting themselves and those around them, OR denying it so they’re just a persecuted innocent? A lot of people will go for the latter. It’s weakness and cowardice, but saying that won’t change their mind. If results are wanted we have to do the very arduous task of massaging their emotions and I kind of resent that thankless, endless, work. Even though I almost certainly am the same way about other things.

Humans are a mess.

Arguing for what’s best for humanity long term…

all their wealth has been distributed to feed those who are in need. Who are you going to kill and eat next?

No one. This isn’t the fascism that always needs an enemy to hate on

The intention is different. Self defense against conservatives vs their offense against all. See also the paradox of tolerance

Doctors cut people up just like serial killers. They’re basically the same.

is that not also a form of weakness masquerading as strength?

what?

How are you any better if you hate them for that?

I’m better than them because I’m not trying to overthrow the government to install a dictatorship that protects my in-group (eg: straight white people) and binds my out-group. I’m not trying to destroy the environment, murder the queers, ban books, ban vaccines, either.

Please. Elaborate.

I don’t think the fumes from vaping are especially safe or welcome, either. At least there’s no littering, though

You probably watch YouTube with the sound on and no headphones in public, too.

Hating on weak people feels good to them, maybe?

Every smoker I’ve met gets very defensive about “why can’t I breathe my toxic fumes on everyone else?? What’s the big deal?? And then they get so mad when I litter like get over yourself”

Smoking in public is indefensible. There are smoking cessation programs.

Conservatives have no real value system beyond “what is good for me right now?”. They like or dislike things for transient, emotional, reasons. They might be in favor of charity when it’s doing something they personally benefit from, but that’s about as far as their reasoning goes.

Conservatives would say this is communism and bad, which is why we should kill and eat conservatives.

Probably because they’re addicted, enjoy the high, and don’t have the means or strength of character to quit.

People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than “Crack open the CEO’s skull with a hammer”, too.

Zuckerberg put in his will “Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars”. Bold move, but apparently legal!
