Sous why not?

Most sharks don’t bite people. Most people are meat eaters.

This is better for hug 🫂

The comments in this thread are practically Islamophobic and naive.

When you travel to another country, just abide by its culture and customs.

Like you cant go to India and disrespect cows, or now eat beef in public.

The comments are also naive because they show how unaware the commenters are about what actually goes on in rich countries and events for affluent people.

I like how you frame your pov, it’s convincing. Esp. this part,

The problem with this is that society doesn’t get to choose where his money went, he did.

I agree, and I’ve always been about higher taxes on the wealthy. The point in original point was more that the left needs effective, goal-directed leadership. Not martyrs or short-term solutions.

I don’t think she’s mad about the funko pops per se, it may be more she doesn’t think you have any serious life or relationship goals. Did you try couples therapy? She needs to be able to voice out her concerns in a mature manner if she values having a relationship with you. People have all sorts of hobbies, yours is pretty tame tbh, so I think her reaction and inflexibility on this is more about something else, likely her perception that you lack long term goals. But that’s just internet stranger guesswork! Get couples therapy.

lol 😂

Okay fair points, perhaps! But I think literally two days ago there was front page post about a billionaire who gave away his fortune and died with something like 200M. I mean, if he made sure his money was being spent wisely then he did a net good for humanity.

Secondly, I don’t mean to antagonize with these posts, so if anyone’s feelings were hurt, I feel bad.

Well ours is the only species which can probe and understand why there is something instead of nothing. There may not be any intrinsic value in anything, but the act of discovery is meaningful.

Haha, I’ll ping you again in two years and follow up on the results 🤷‍♀️

Maybe I am being a little harsh, but that’s because I just think it’s terrible waste of someone who gave a shit and could have made a difference

I don’t know if that accomplishes anything for people who are suffering from unfair healthcare policies

Fr if social security goes away for young people in the U.S., it may as well be lol

Ugh please stop. The left needs to stop idolizing losers like Luigi or Unabomber.

The Che comparison is uncalled for because Che actually achieved something other than getting caught.

As far as US activists go, people who actually achieve something like MLK or Malcolm X or Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman are 100% more admirable.

Choose winners! We need people like Musk for these causes, not losers who peter out and die.

All this comment chain is telling me that everyone in this chain above me has a woman they want to redeem for her love of something questionable, lol. Your morals are soft cuz she gets you hard :p

Sorry you had to write all that just to get downvoted. But what I meant to convey was that by some cosmic accident a cognitively advanced animal appeared, one that can seek to understand fundamental truths about the universe and its reality.

I just hold that cosmic accident in high regard, and think we have a duty as stewards of things we can understand using skills, talents and properties innate to us as a species. This is part of the reason that I think every human life wasted and not supported to its full potential is a failure of society.

My favorite example is of how napalm was invented at Harvard. But yeah, I hate how napalm was used sigh

I don’t have a piñata in this quinceañera

We have laws and we have democracy to establish them. Whatever happens in your dumbfukistant, in western Europe it’s unimaginable to be able to use violence and physical power to claim territory or food.

Haha, read any historical account of western civilization. The west has always been great about backstabbing its non-west allies, or even each other.

People are people, don’t fall for some us vs. them bullshit, you’re just being a tool for someone else. It’s also pretty funny to me that half the countries some Americans look down on have had more women presidents or prime ministers, lol.

And you can’t seriously say democracy is working as intended when we don’t have campaign finance reforms, and have citizens united in the U.S.? You’re literally living in a world where a billionaire bought a country’s presidential election outcome! What a joke.
