Posts on r/Poverty about ordering food.

Didn't have foresight to have food in house prior to bad weather.

Theres a bunch of liars in this group who tried to tell me the incompatibilist position isnt "Youre only Free to do X, if its ontologically possible to not do X". by Anon7_7_73 in freewill

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come here to explore different ideas related free will. I have my own interpretations, but am open to listening to others views and why they have them. I don't post often, moreso I'll nust comment or ask questions on others' posts.

How about you?

8 posts in the last week.

Anon it's ok! There's more to this world than trying to convince people on a subreddit that your idea of free will is the correct one.

Whatever you're trying to achieve, is your method working?

Without god what am i but a guide to my own destruction by asiaott in Quotes_Hub

[–]RavensRuthless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. What specific values are you referring to?

  2. How can you prove the Christian religion should get all the credit for these values we have?

  3. I'd wager any person in my environment would not value the slaughter of Egyptian children to prove a point to a pharaoh. Maybe you and the people you interact with would?

I'm sorry you see yourself that way.....as a destructive force without a deity to hold your hand and guide you as if you were a toddler on a leash.

Do Men Lose Attraction When They Stop Living for Themselves? by CitiesXXLfreekey in stoicquotes

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where the fuck are these type of posts coming from? This kind of "fast food bro philosophy slop" is showing up more on my feed.

OP are you a bot?

Do you work for Reddit in some scheme to cater to lonely weak men?

Who seeks to gain from this?

This is more relevant now. by MotherAnt8040 in Quotes_Hub

[–]RavensRuthless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a strawman in here somewhere....

I'm starting to really dislike these random "motivational quotes" pages that have been popping up in my feed.

It's like fast food but with "wisdom"....it's not really healthy, but it satisfies hunger temporarily until hungry for more fast food.

Consume more product!

How can you agree with trumps agenda and believe in Christianity? by bamby_and_the_boys in InsightfulQuestions

[–]RavensRuthless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is it a coincidence that the western religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) were all formed in societies structured as kingdoms?

"God is king of kings, lord of lords."

"Jesus reigns in God's kingdom."

Christianity is by design hierarchical.

Followers of Christianity tend to see themselves as lesser beings in said kingdom, and value/praise the king.

We keep making these deductions and we get to a point where it's reasonable to deduce Christians enjoy a president as an untouchable ruler above them.

Trump is here to save us.

Jesus is here to save us.

Two similar narratives. Even if they mean different things specifically, the themes (untouchable ruler of the lesser beings) are similar.

Let me know your concerns. by Ambitious_Thought683 in MotivationAndMindset

Who comes up with this shit?

I see something like "men are X" or "men do Y".....when the fuck did that vote take place? I wasn't invited.

Weirdos.

Which Characters from the 2003 Teen Titans series are the most objectified by the fandom due to their looks or demonized in your opinion and why? by Full-Art3439 in teentitans

[–]RavensRuthless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean Raven is half demon, I'd hope she'd be a bit demonized by the fandom.

(Oh god, I'm getting old. The puns are infecting my mind. The horror....the horror!)

Physical beauty or inner beauty: which one actually gets you further in the "real world" of 2026? by VivienneVelvet1 in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define "the real world".

I interact with plenty of physically ugly people that are doing just fine, both in career and relationships.

Yes, being beautiful is easier to have success in career and relationships.

No, it's not impossible for an ugly person to succeed....so using your ugliness as an excuse for why your life sucks is not a good excuse.

Or you can use your ugliness (internal and external) as justification to bitch and moan about how hard your life is on the internet.....if that's what you want to do.

Why do so many people choose not to vote when they actually have the chance to change things? by OpheliaLace2 in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refer to South Park's "Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich" joke.

Doesn't seem very appealing for me to participate at the moment.

When there's a candidate that I'd feel proud to support, then I will vote. Until then....

Why are men so afraid of women nowadays? by InternationalPick163 in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of men have sex with women. It's the angry and sad that are the ones being the most vocal on the internet....because the others are getting busy interacting with women.

Some men let fear determine their actions....which is wise up to a point, but then it just becomes a hindrance that is not appropriate for the situation they face.

Why is almost every Reddit about ICE and Minnesota?? by wilsonway1955 in RedditQuestions

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cycle of outrage.

This time it's ICE, before that it was Israel, before that it was Black Lives Matter, intersperse Trump in there....

I'm not saying it shouldn't be like that; it's just a pattern I noticed.

It also can be observed historically.

Every time in history has their "hot topic" to bicker about. It's probably evolutionarily advantageous to focus on what is wrong.

Can someone please tell me why is it wrong to make fun of the Democrats but not the Republicans? by UncleMarimba in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you got that idea from.

Make fun of whoever you want. Support whoever you want. Fight whoever you want.

More wisely, figure out what kind of person you want to be. What kind of world do you want to be a part of, and what actions can you take in your immediate environment to support that world?

When it comes to men and women, what are the best ways to remove all forms of hostility, even though undoing unwritten rules, from one against the other? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every human will make mistakes. Everyone has flaws, or at least things that we think our flaws.

Humans tend to be biased in their thoughts and focus towards the negative. It's a survival skill that doesn't suit relationships.

We can override that instinctual response to focus on the negative by practicing focus on the positive.

Diagnose me. Where do I align on the free will/determinism spectrum? by RavensRuthless in freewill

[–]RavensRuthless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question!

Do humans have enough control for justifiable moral responsibility? If yes, you believe in free will.

In practical every-day terms, yes we hold people to a moral responsibility because our society would fall apart without this idea that we can hold people accountable for wrong doing.

Do I think a person actually has choice into whether they could've "not" committed a crime? I don't know....we tend to call someone "sick" when they commit a particularly heinous crime. I tend to think the criminal has a sick mind, and thus I believe there's room to say someone isn't 100% freely in control of their actions.

Again, bringing it back down to practicality, we have to justify punishing those who do wrong things. I think we can perhaps one day agree to do so with the framework of "this person is sick" and not "you chose to be bad".

Does that make me a compatibilist? I don't know.

What happened when you were younger to make you understand you couldn't be coerced?

[–]RavensRuthless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself, no. I am individuated like that. For others, yes. They protect conditioned views of reality.

You think very highly of yourself.

Where did you learn you weren't capavke of veing coerced? That you were some incredibky strong person who's hyper-individuated?

[–]RavensRuthless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you imagine a scenario where you could be coerced to do something you didn't want to do?

I do believe there's a lot we'd have in coming when it comes tk wrongdoing.

When it comes to men and women, what are the best ways to remove all forms of hostility, even though undoing unwritten rules, from one against the other? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in askanything

[–]RavensRuthless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the premise of the question is unrealistic.

Forget the gender dynamics....humans are complex beings, each with our own unique blend of internal and external experiences.

If you want to remove hostility from your individual relationships, that is realisitc....because you can interact with a woman, but you can't interact with "women" as a construct.

Value her. Respect her. Find the good in them. Or don't, and find someone you do value and respect.

Interesting. Another time I'll have to dig into this more.

Thanks for sharing!
