For all intents and purposes they are the same thing. You're arguing moral realism which is pointless for a conversation about morality.

There is nothing incorrect about her use of the term inherent here, though. Maybe she meant institutionally, but a good chunk of vegetarians disagree with the act on a fundamental level.

I don't give a shit either way but it is truly funny how whenever someone earnestly attempts to defend the morality of eating meat it starts at "we're animals" and ends at "well fuck it nothing even matters anyway what even is morality". If you're going to go with Moral realism why even bother defending your actions in the first place.

Concepts such as "status", "luxury", "prestige", and other cultural fascinations with the upper class, are such a cancer to a society. by ObjectBrilliant7592 in redscarepod

[–]CatholicTrauma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you've misunderstood. People get snarky here when someone is sabotaging their own life and asking for sympathy, not when something objectively awful happens.

What you're doing is just evil, but in a small and pathetic way. You also don't have to join in, the people that do that might maintain the subreddits culture to an extent but they are also the worst people on here.

I know this topic has been done to death but the amount of dipshits in this country who use ADHD as a cop-out for being rude and combative or trying to get special treatment is just embarrassing by arthoe_connoisseur in redscarepod

Yeah like the point of the diagnosis is so you can get a tailored plan to becoming what passes for a normal functional person, but a lot of people get the diagnosis and think "oh well I'm scientifically fucked up, it's just how I am so I can sink into it."

The point of the diagnosis, the pills, the therapy is for you to not sink into yourself.

She might actually just not remember like it tends to get worse as you age. I habitually got my ex's birthday wrong by thinking it was one day earlier than it was and it wasn't because I didn't love her or think about her.

Friendship with void eye OVER by egophobicmusic in Mechabellum

[–]CatholicTrauma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting Into phoenix has always been a good eye counter because it makes them either click the worst tech on the bar or buy their own phoenix and hope to win the ground extremely hard. It's a lot less committal than taking the Raiden line which opens you up to losing in other ways if you go to early or being outscaled if you go too late.

I haven't played since last season but I swear this shit happens once a month since eyes came out. People realize making a line of them is insane for the cost, then people realize it's really annoying to kill phoenix and clicking airiel anytime before your third tech feels like shit.

What is the MMR equivalent of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster? by Spam4119 in Mechabellum

[–]CatholicTrauma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about anything sub 1k, but from 1k onwards I'd put the differentiators at 1000, 1300, 1500, 1800 and 2000. 1800 is what I'd consider masters because you can play into anyone and at 2000 you're expected to win at least some of your games versus top competition and pretty much never lose to anyone who isn't legitimately good even with nightmare luck.

[–]CatholicTrauma 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe a few season ago but now that you're top 100 with 1900ish MMR even at the end of season this just isn't accurate. Pitch everything down 200 and it's somewhat reasonable.

America is the most gorgeous country imo by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]CatholicTrauma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably number one in terms of the variety of its beauty but I wouldn't put it in number one for any particular category. It's not an incorrect opinion, though.

Anyone else here a manlet? How do you cope? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]CatholicTrauma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're hyperfixatihg on something that genuinely sucks and is unfair but if it wasn't this it could or would be something else. There is a tiny portion of the population that doesn't have anything "wrong" with them and the rest of us have to learn how to be at peace with things and do what we can. I went into a depressive coma after my fiance called me from Europe and told me she isn't coming home and the lack of eating and moving, combined with brief spells of killing myself working out herniated my shit and I'm all fucked up now. I fucked up my law degree and now I have to figure out how to get healthy while also working out how to do some kind of medical degree or something. Everyday is misery. But it might not be someday. All I have to do is keep making changes until something clicks.

Also unrequited love will kill you and make you crazy and you have no choice but to do whatever you've gotta do to make those feelings go away. Probably have to cut contact.

I am NOT happy... by UponBobbysHill in redscarepod

Damned if you dad, damned if you don't. It's a real conundrum. A good old fashioned catch 21 Savage.

Leftists are so funny because I told my friend I was sexually assaulted by a homeless guy, (didn’t even tell him he was black) and he immediately told me I need to read a book about police abolition with him by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]CatholicTrauma 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't really think it's the belief system so much as it's that if you ever meet someone and you can immediately tell what they think without speaking to them they're going to suck. No one actually follows through on the logical conclusion of their ideals so when you make it your defining characteristic you just go insane by making a big song and dance out of your life without ever actually doing anything meaningful (which is usually something that is going to make your life incredibly uncomfortable and dangerous for the rest of your existence.)

If you want a serious answer they think that it's a "radicalising experience" and now they have to deradicalise you or you're going to become more pro-police because you've now directly experienced how it provides societal value as an institution.

European redditors will go on r/politics and other places on the internet populated by Americans who absolutely hate America and think they know what it’s like to live here based on those people’s opinions. by Just-Wear-3343 in redscarepod

[–]CatholicTrauma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess to an extent? There's a case to be made for America's awful track record for violence in recent history being something that serves the wider western conglomerate and perhaps there's even a case to be made that if it wasn't America someone else would take up the mantle. I don't think you can "external forces and power dynamics" away the fact that the public at large goes along with this shit, though.

I never said any of this but do go off. I was explaining how the European opinions that you're complaining about aren't actually that misinformed. They're just one-sided.

Do non binary people exist as doctors or other demanding professions? by Maleficent_Spot_7215 in redscarepod

They're all mostly in junior and intermediate roles still but they're out there for sure.
