It's shit like this that the lawyers were waiting for.
I always thought it was unrealistic that Charlie Brown would keep trying to kick the football. "Surely" I thought to myself "a real person would have learned their lesson long ago that it's not going to happen."
And here we are with people somehow still thinking "ah yes, this time the football will be kicked!"
This is not a net positive. It's some damage control but people are going to remember that they rolled over for facism and not renew their subscriptions.
The extra views Jimmy Kimmel will have this week will not recover the lost revenue from the people who cancelled their subscriptions and won't return.
Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?
I never claimed otherwise?
And how helpful is it to scream "fuck humans, all they do is fuck everything up, even the so called good humans fuck you for supporting the humans fucking things up!"
And it turned out both of these failures were caused by Trump's team.
So Trump hires incompetent people (because they are yes men), they fuck up and make him look bad, and the intermediate solution is to kill the people who happened to be near by at the time before there's any actual information available.
There's a difference between raging against the majority, and saying things like "all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up". It's a wonder anything is standing if that was the case.
Person B reflects and realizes they spent the day trying to be perfect, since they have good intention, and thus will reflect on their actions in an effort to improve.
Do they? You invented a lot there about someone you don't know.
Person B continues to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. They keep getting overwhelmed by options and never end up helping anybody.
Person A helped in order to get recognition at work. It worked and helped give that extra push that got them promoted. They continue to do this on a yearly basis despite not liking it because it makes them look good to their employer.
It can go either way, someone helping for selfish reasons might be the start of them helping for genuine reasons or might be the last time they help at all. You can't know. I'll still gladly take someone helping for selfish reasons than them not helping at all.
Would it be better if they had good intentions? Of course! But it would also be worse if they didn't act at all.
Intent matters but it's not more important than the act itself.
Person A does a helpful act today for selfish reasons. Person B wants to help people but wants to make sure they are helping in the right way, so they don't do anything today while they try to figure out the best way to do it. Tomorrow they both get hit by a bus.
What's more important? That Person B had good intentions, or that Person A actually fucking helped someone?
That's because MAGA claimed Biden cheated for so long and so loudly that people were tired of hearing it and wanted to show they were better than the MAGAs.
As always they accused their opponent of what they were going to do themselves, and it continues to work for them.
"I'd rather the anti-chtist lying that they are the Christian than an honest person saying they aren't a Christian."
