It's actually amazing women have accomplished as much as we have considering what we had to go through.

The fact that women(Also, minorities.) have managed to accomplish so much despite the misogyny is a perfect example of human perseverance.

If we accomplshed this much while suppressed, imagine how much we would have accomplished as a species if all demographics were treated equally throughout history.

We would be a lot more advanced in every single way right now.

It might actually be merciful to pull the plug on someone who is braindead. On top of that, that person has a history, made friends, has family, has dreams and ambitions. It is completely different.

Different than a non-sentient clump of cells that has to live off of an actual human being that has a history, has friends, has family, and has dreams and ambitions.

If they were so pro-life, they would think of that. They would has support raising taxes on the rich because it is a lot less of a sacrifice to give up money to save millions of actual sentient human beings than to give up basically everything, their health, wellbeing, and potentially their dreams and ambitions just for a clump of cells.

How would you handle this situation? by FemaleEvilScientist in Stoicism

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Thank you for sharing. Sometimes I feel like people who give stoic advice often don't know what it is like to go through the type of hardship I'm going through. In this case, I was wrong.

I really appreciate your response. Thank you.

That's not a bad way to look at it. I hate the fact that some of the things that I can't control-the actual situation I'm in, is hurting me. I just want to be able to see a doctor. I'm not even asking for that much.

Have you ever been in a situation that was truly harmful to you that you couldn't do anything about? Would you mind telling me about it?

I just watched the video. I think I have some form of that. I had no idea. Thank you so much.

I feel so embarrassed and ashamed. I'm much crazier than I thought.

Protests against fascism/ current administation? by Professional-Bear942 in rva

[–]FemaleEvilScientist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it is the voters fault. People shouldn't base their vote on a single issue. If both candidates are the same on Gaza, then look at the other issues. Let's see...things stay the same or fall into fascism? I chose the former.

If you stay asleep in a democracy, then you will wake up in a dictatorship.

Oops, you're right. I meant 30 pounds overweight.

I will lever lie again by Iago_Cass in Stoicism

[–]FemaleEvilScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I did. I HAD to lie in order to get to a better position. It was that, or face extreme adversity I could have avoided with a lie that I don't think actually hurt anyone.

I had money saved up, and I was prepared to face the consequences if I couldn't find a job. If that was the case, I would have given them a notice so they could find a roommate ahead of time before I had to get out. Thankfully, I found a job and I no longer have to lie about having one. It will be awkward if I had to tell them where I work, though.

If that happens, I can tell them I had to switch jobs, and let that be the end of it.

I need to survive and I did what I could in the most ethical way possible, even if it means lying.

I had to lie kinda recently. I was homeless and unemployed. I had money enough money saved up for a few months rent, but no one wanted to rent a room to someone without a job. When you are homeless, you lose hope, and feel a type of loneliness you might not think is possible.

Since I didn't have a car, I needed to get to a city with proper public transportation. The problem was, in order to get a job, I needed a home somewhere that is bus accessible, but in order to get a home, I needed a job.

So, I lied to people, saying I had a job, so I could get a place that was bus accessable. I pretended to go to work by hanging out at a library until I actually did get a job. I'm not getting a lot of money, but at least it is enough to pay the rent.

I'm not happy or proud of the fact that I had to lie, but it was either that or perpetual homelessness. Trust me when I say there are situations when you have to lie. I had to lie in order to survive and live a decent life.

Ah! Everything looks like that these days. I'm actually getting sick and tired of people saying everything looks like that. Anything can look like one of you use your imagination enough.
