I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I'm going to troll you back. FAFO.

  • How do YOU personally determine if someone is a good or bad person?

    Jump

  • Most people are good. Most people forget to be kind to others sometimes.

    Some people forget to be kind to others more. I kinda don't like that.

    Some people need to cause others discomfort to feel like they are in control of their lives. I dislike that.

    Some people feel that they have the right to or even should cause others discomfort because they have some kind of birthright granted by their religion, how aggressive their ancestors were, or some perception that they've worked harder than others. I feel that such people should either be rigorously reeducated or in some way removed from access to other humans entirely.

  • Mistakes were made

    Jump

  • At first I thought the mistake was the powdered creamer. I've worked in institutions basically my entire adult life and I've had all kinds of shit coffee and I'd rather just rawdog the boiled suggestion of coffee straight from the concentrate carton's teat than fuck with that grittyass bullshit.

  • My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.

    Jump

  • My tablet doesn't support it I was so confused. I got a work laptop that I literally only use for teaching but I use it's charger at home for everything that thing is a BEAST.

  • Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?

    Jump

  • Same. It took me a little longer but it makes such a nice fidget for lectures / meetings. The procedurality of it is almost soothing.

  • Rule

    Jump

  • I keep telling people that if AI can actually replace you then you probably didn't have a real job to begin with. Me n the tradies are doin just fine.

  • Web principles

    Jump

  • ...yes?

  • If real life loaded like a video game did, what would the loading screen tips be?

    Jump

  • REM sleep.

  • How did you feel when you turned 18? Did you do anything special?

    Jump

  • It's the last thing they can force you to do (but playing along can have benefits).

  • misleading cover

    Jump

  • Yes.

  • misleading cover

    Jump

  • That's literally just the text adventure video game Corruption of Champions (CoCs). The sci-fi version is Trials in Tainted Space (TiTS).

  • Our kryptonite

    Jump

  • Can't kill another rock. Just makes more rocks.

  • Locked

    Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time.

    Jump

  • Nah he was just quiet senile instead of loud senile. I've had patients that are rather agreeable despite low cognitive function. They don't wind up in the hospital as much and get discharged quicker because the agreeableness means they can accept home caregivers more safely, but they very much still need assistance with decision making. He wasn't more coherent per se, just more able to cooperate with his handlers. Ignoring morality (a distressingly common occurrence throughout the history of humanity) is it preferable to have a leader who accepts control of the oligarchs more placidly or more chaotically? I don't speak to my parents anymore for a variety of reasons (including politics) but one tiny spark of something they did get right was that trump is slightly harder to keep under control, and is accelerating the destruction of our broken political system. We ultimately just differed in opinion on whether the coming system is more likely to be better or worse.

  • Husband gets an honorary mention

    Jump

  • How many people actually know their cat's birthday? I wrote mines down on the vet paperwork as Valentine's because it was September and they said she was probably about 8 months old.

  • Therapy

    Jump

  • I've had a couple of people ask how I stomach what I do for a living (acute inpatient psychiatry) and one of my answers to one of the aspects is that a lot of this was going to happen to them anyway and they may as well have at least one person there who's been there and won't be a asshole about it (or any more than I have to be anyway). Also everybody's a mental health advocate who wants the poor sweet depressed babies to be loved more until they're at a stoplight and a homeless schizophrenic on PCP starts wiping period blood on their car while yelling about how Obama filled their vagina with spiders. Some of us didn't get the cute mental illnesses OK.

  • Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?

    Jump

  • Oh I would certainly think it's the norm but I do wonder if there's some culture somewhere that really is just that literal. Like shit we don't know what the sentinelese (but they definitely give a dark sense of humor vibe).

  • What Fediverse instances would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • I honestly can't tell if this is just my ADHD or if this is just an overly dense philosophical argument that in true internet fashion has just gotten completely out of hand. There's no damn good reason for anyone who will never physically set foot in any of these places to have opinions on this topic of that complexity or intensity.

    Like my opinion on the topic is mostly that my country should definitely stop giving Israel weapons and probably send the Palestinians some food water and medical supplies. Other than that I'm not personally going to impose my opinions overtop those of people who actually live there.

    The answer to imperialism isn't trying to align your views with whichever side you've decided is the most right then loudly philosophizing about it from thousands of miles away. It's the kind of thing you can't undo, you can only stop doing it. The answer to imperialism is to shut the fuck up and stop meddling. Now the internet as a whole isn't great at that (especially not the shutting up part), and I don't think I'll ever find a space that's free of it. So I'm just gonna go with the place that seems as agnostic on the most issues as possible and try not to overthink shit that's, in the end, none of my damn business.

  • TPUSA's rule will never not be funny

    Jump

  • I was going to say inadequate prenatal care that might have been provided to a low income mother by planned parenthood.

  • PB&J

    Jump

  • I have a folder of shitpost diagrams that is way too small and I appreciate you helping me add to it.

  • What Fediverse instances would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • This is the kind of statement that is so far at the extremes of both vague and unhinged that it's not so much that I don't believe you as that I would need to see some kind of evidence of multiple specific and unambiguous incidents. TLDR; you can't just say that kinda thing with 0 receipts.
