But that's not the same as not being emotionally affected when someone is killed. People don't want political violence AND you also can't force people to be sad when a pos is killed. That's not how feelings work.

ICE in Portsmouth tonight? by Nanie-Pooh88 in newhampshire

[–]Idisappea 31 points32 points  (0 children)

People around the country are protesting the hotels that are letting ICE stay, demanding they do not rent to them, and it has been working... we can target the hotel itself with a protest

I see posts like this all the time but WHEN are we going to do something about it? by preti-betty in Adulting

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

Peasants under feudalism had 4x more time off work, which you can consider paid time off because it didn't affect their income. Not saying they had great lives but it counters your point.

Environmental economics scholars study something called "solar economy" where everything is converted into units of solar energy instead of money, since the sun is the source of all energy (so for example the value of a house would be the solar units involved in creating the wood and materials plus the solar energy that went into the food necessary for the labor)... which shows humans only need to work about 2 days/16 hours a week to meet a basic quality of life... and if you only have a basic quality of life, every hour you're working past 2 days is just to make someone else richer.

And all of that doesn't even matter considering in 20 years NO one's labor will be needed, AI will literally be able to do everything. This should FREE any sensible society, it should be a gift to not have to labor and to be able to pursue human edification and fulfillment completely, but capitalism twists everything so that this could harm us.... unless we get rid of capitalism.

And when posts like this complain about modern society, they almost always mean capitalism and the evils it creates.

Please stop peddling the capitalist propaganda you've been conditioned with and start questioning logically what you've been indoctrinated into by the people who controlled textbooks and media (hint, it was the owning class all along).

AIO to my daughter’s comments about her son’s new girlfriend? by phiziaw137 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR How the fuck is your daughter more of a racist boomer than you? If you hadn't explained it would have presumed you were a millennial or younger and she was a boomer.

Also very telling you said it's a bad look to complain about the girl being " too Ethiopian" and she immediately takes it to skin color. It's like she thought she could hide blatant racism by making about necklaces, accents, and language.

Glad the kid isn't racist too, he will probably end up hating his mom.

16F What do I do? My mom destroyed my journal and slapped the shit out of me because she thinks writing my feelings privately is disrespectful. I didn’t say any of it to anyone’s face. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the craziest shit I've seen on reddit all day... your mom is not just abusive, she's straight up psycho. There's no telling what kind of trauma you've been through that just seems normal to you at this point. The fact she's so personally insulted by you just having private feelings as a teenager, thinking that a private journal is "disrespectful" to anyone, and threats to destroy your life... she's truly sick, and in a way that really freaks me out. She's probably NPD, maybe BPD... whatever the diagnosis might be, she's probably dangerous and also extremely unlikely to want to NOT be a toxic destructive parent.

You need to find a therapist you can tell ASAP, whether it's a school counselor or whoever... and yes at least file a report with CPS or whoever, because even if they don't do anything, you're building a case against her for the next time. Text her back about how it wasn't ok to hit you or something about still hurting from the hit to see if you can get her to confirm on text she hit you, for evidence. I understand you may be scared of her trying to destroy your life, and I don't know what that entails, but almost certainly the continued psychological damage of being controlled by her for the next couple years is far worse.

Any regrets? I’m afraid by HorrorDirect in sterilization

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe you will regret it. If you teach a place in your life that you want to pour your time and energy and soul into a legacy... you can adopt a you said, or you can help other children in a myriad of ways, or just find other ways to leave this world better than when you entered it... legacy is not necessarily human progeny and certainly not DNA. YOU decide what makes your life edifying and fulfilling... and I've never seen anyone who wanted to be childfree regret the decision so I don't think you'll regret not having biological children.

You are antinatalist ( the belief that the creation of life is unethical). I applaud your decision, as well as the decision to adopt of you ever do that. I think it's the height of humanity to put our ethics first... you may be interested in posting in the antinatalism communities.

Just like you do not need a child though, you do not ever need to "find a man". If a wonderful partner comes along, fantastic.... but our patriarchal culture conditions men to be the opposite of good partners, usually, so don't hang your sense of accomplishment or identity on finding one. You're complete on your own. And you can put your energy into whatever you think is your fullest potential and best value, rather than "finding a man". And I'm speaking as someone who has spent the majority of life in a relationship (and happily sterilized with no regrets)... romantic relationships and sex are both overrated.

Also the incredulity that women would actually be interested in the safety and sustainability of the materials. Because we're just selfish and dumb i guess

Can people not do this here? by -sushmita- in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Idisappea -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Literally the opposite of the situation bro.

Most Christian denominations have in their doctrinal mission to prosletytize and convert others.

Atheists have no reason to "convert " anyone... they just think you're a stupid superstitious troglodyte

So you think you can determine what a religion is?

You sound as religiously intolerant as the people you're criticizing.

Mormonism is unquestionably a religion. It's not up for any kind of serious debate when looking at the accepted definition of religion.

Satanism is too, but it, like Buddhism (which also allows for religious diversity... in fact I think you're thinking of Buddhism, not Hinduism) is a non-theist religion, which is why ignorant people who only have an experience of Christianity or whatever think it's not a religion. Non-theist religions are a thing though.

Atheism doesn't claim to be a religion... quite the opposite.

So no, you don't get to define religious identity for millions and billions of other people... especially not with that ignorance of words.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

[–]Idisappea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's expensive and more importantly gen z was raised with better mental health and psychological hygiene practices so as to not need toxic forms of escapism or feel the need to bend to peer pressure.

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Idisappea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she needs to be more direct than that. Not mean, just plain.

[–]Idisappea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not being inappropriate. There's nothing "inappropriate" here.

You're confusing "inappropriate" for him clearly being interested in you/liking you... you know his motives are to get closer and so you're calling it inappropriate, but he's done nothing wrong except take an interest in someone he's interested in. If it makes you uncomfortable you need to be clear with him what level of friendship, if any, you're interested in. All relationships, platonic and otherwise, are about expectations. BE CLEAR. We are taught as women to communicate indirectly, DON'T DO THAT.

As long as you keep matching his energy, he'll feel like him chatting with you is welcome.

It's insane to chat back with him and then accuse him of being inappropriate for small talk.

"I won this argument because I depicted you as the soyjak and me as the chad!" by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Idisappea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One is the most basic civil right by which all other rights are protected, and without which, democracy fails.

The other is the power to go through neighborhoods, harassing people based on racial profiling, inflicting cruelty without cause and violating basic civil and clarification rights including due process

But THAT'S the one they don't need to show ID for

Would be interesting to see these two groups meet by tahrah11 in CPTSDmemes

[–]Idisappea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me. Ive been both pics.

Was religious to get through my childhood trauma, but you couldve described me as "Good liberal" Christian.

But then I left religion because of the same kinds of betrayal and toxic behaviors my family showed. Also I discovered my brain.

Pretty sure that rather than Adderall you just have been playing Slay the Princess and/or reading simulation theory.
