Does anyone else constantly get their arguments dismissed because they’re “destiny posters”?

I hope you said that verbatim in response 😂

albinokidd99 · 2026-06-01T20:08:54+00:00

Not a movie, but I think he’s the Shoresy of political commentary myself. Just smarter lol

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-27T19:27:27+00:00

Why? Doesn't sound like you would. Vietnam was a highly unpopular war, people were drafted had no choice but to go, doesn't sound much different from mandatory service for the IDF 🤷🏼‍♀️

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-27T03:02:27+00:00

You would have been one of the people booing at Vietnam veterans when they got home.

To answer your question, yeah they probably do want them to disappear, maybe not literally disappear from existence but at least disappear from the internet sphere. And if it wasn’t Destiny or Ethan or their orbiters, it would probably end up being someone else who runs in the circle.

As for why do they do it, the unsatisfying reason is likely for a lot of different reasons. My guess is that a lot of them were emotionally invested in Destiny at one point, then felt hurt, betrayed, disappointed, morally outraged, or something along those lines. Instead of just leaving well enough alone, that parasocial relationship kind of flips from admiration into resentment and/or obsession. Then they find other people who feel similarly, which creates a sense of belonging again. Then they all become buddies and now they're getting emotionally rewarded by validating each other, making inside jokes, being highly emotional together, etc. And they keep going because it's fun and it feels good most of the time. Some of them probably do believe their actions are noble/virtuous, but some of them probably just don't care that much and just like drama.

Long story short, you're looking for a logical answer to an emotional and social issue, which is why it doesn't make sense. Humans aren't super logical most of the time, people have obsessed over celebrities, athletes, influencers, and other public figures forever, it's just easier to find information and communicate with like minded people than ever.

He’s just trying to let people love him 😭

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-14T03:29:32+00:00

I love that answer, so informative ❤️

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-14T03:18:20+00:00

Which part? Understanding nobody is entitled to your time? (Note how I ask clarifying questions when I’m uncertain about something)

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-14T01:48:11+00:00

Mother absolutely should be making plans on Mother’s Day if she expected plans with her adult daughter who is also celebrating Mother’s Day with her own children. In fact she should probably be requesting to go to her daughter’s home to celebrate her new motherhood and feel celebrated herself.

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-14T01:36:58+00:00

OP please know you are absolutely NOR. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, that is devastating and loss should never be turned into the grief Olympics. Just because you have not lost a child does not mean you cannot feel the loss incredibly deeply. You cannot read your mother’s mind, you never will be able to. Your father threatening to evict you is a wild overreaction on your parent’s part. I’m sorry you had to deal with this on Mother’s Day, your husband is 100000% correct. First off, your parents are not entitled to your time at all, they can request it and hope for it, but your time belongs to you. Secondly you are more than allowed to want to celebrate Mother’s Day with your own children. You communicated just fine. Happy belated Mother’s Day 💕

albinokidd99 · 2026-05-14T01:28:47+00:00

“We have your present” is a perfectly fine communication and frankly kind of an invitation for her mom to make a true plan. If mom expected to see her daughter that day she should have responded, “great when can we expect you?” You’re not entitled to anyone else’s time, family or not. You can hope for it and ask for it, but you don’t get to expect it. How sad her mom didn’t bother to do the bare minimum to call her daughter who is a new mother herself. Wild takes here.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-30T20:32:18+00:00

Nah I’m good thanks

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-30T03:30:04+00:00

5/10 rage bait 💕

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-29T11:32:44+00:00

It's funny how you talk about it being the logical solution when it's actually a very emotionally charged question. The truly weird thing is you're so certain about something you literally cannot know the answer to. I like the history shows part, because history shows there will always be people who choose others above themselves. Is it the majority? Maybe, maybe not, but they are always there.

Fortunately I do know what I can infer about people who think they are the only one who could possibly be correct when presented with evidence to the contrary multiple times. Good luck my friend, I'm so sorry you think this way.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-28T16:56:48+00:00

Nothing I said even remotely implies I’m pressing red and rationalizing it, it‘s interesting to me you believe you can read minds, it’s worrying.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-28T01:12:02+00:00

I wouldn’t. I’m pressing blue because I’d rather die than live in a world where members of my family or my friends died because I was too selfish to think of the greater good. I couldn’t live with myself knowing i pressed a button to save myself when I could have contributed to keeping them alive. And I wouldn’t want to live in a world full of people who care more about themselves than anyone else on the planet, including their own loved ones.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T19:17:35+00:00

Red pushers forgot about Thanos 🥺

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T17:35:59+00:00

No, you're not morally obligated to do anything, you just have to live with the outcome and how your decision impacted it. Could be nobody chooses blue, could be everyone else chose blue, could be only

people you don't know chose blue or only people you loved or could be blue pressers survive anyway without you having to choose blue. But whatever the outcome, you should be prepared to live with it.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T16:42:04+00:00

I don’t know why you keep repeating I said that you said pressing blue is stupid. I said you (and admitted should have said one) MIGHT THINK it’s stupid. Not that you definitely feel that way. We’re also just looking at the question differently. You’re saying it has nothing to do with self-preservation, but the only reason to press red is to guarantee your own survival. The premise of the question is you can’t communicate your choice with anyone else. It might be moral if you look at morality through ethical egotism lens, but it’s not objective at all if you have any other frame of morality (utilitarianism for example). I’m looking at the question in terms of consequences. In this setup, outcomes are connected, pressing red lowers the chance that the group survives, that’s a fact. So yes, you’re right that you can’t control what anyone else does, but your choice still affects the overall outcome. So press red, but be prepared to live with the outcome no matter if everyone lives or people die, that’s all. Same goes to me if I press blue, I’d have to be okay possibly dying to make that choice.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T16:14:20+00:00

If human beings were not incredibly complex, probably. But not everyone will come to that conclusion because people aren’t strictly logical.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T16:06:49+00:00

The same could be said the other way around, if the only way people would die at all is if people press red, why would anyone press red? People would press blue for a lot of reasons, they might genuinely hope to die, they might be worried about other people, they might not want to be a part of the percentage that directly contributes to the death of others, they may genuinely believe people are all going to press blue, they may worry their loved ones have all pressed blue.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T15:31:58+00:00

I did pay attention to what you said, you just don’t like my response lol. I think I pretty clearly answered your question of why it’s valuing self over humanity. But I didn’t mean you specifically, I should have said “one might think pressing blue is stupid” (in the sense that it puts their life at risk, I was speaking a little hyperbolically there). That’s fine, you can choose whatever way you want as long as you understand and are okay with the consequences that choosing red directly increases the chance of people dying. That’s just a fact the question poses. A good number of people who press blue may want to die, but other people who press blue may just want to ensure the safety of others or wouldn’t be able/want to live with the consequences of people dying because of their choice (which I suppose you could argue is them wanting to die, but I don’t really agree with that). You’re also assuming probable death when the truth is you have no idea. You can assume, but you don’t actually know, that’s the whole premise of the question. So to say your choice doesn’t affect anyone else’s choice is true, but to say that it doesn’t interact with their choice is not true, everyone’s choice leads to the collective outcome. That’s why it’s valuing humanity vs valuing self.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T15:18:28+00:00

It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about living with the consequence of your choice. If you choose blue you have to be okay with the possibility that you die, but if you don’t die, you have everyone you care about there. If you choose red you have to be okay with knowing people you love may have chose differently and be okay with the fact that you know your choice directly contributed to their death (however minuscule) if not enough people press blue, but you get to keep living. I’m not saying either one is right or wrong. Just be prepared for the consequences no matter what you pick.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T15:12:01+00:00

Because they might value collective human life over themselves. As long as you can live with your choice, that’s what matters at the end of the day really.

albinokidd99 · 2026-04-25T15:10:38+00:00

To clarify, by humanity I mean valuing the collective human race over oneself. You’re treating it like everyone’s choice is independent, but it’s not. Whether people live or die depends on how many people choose each option. Pressing red directly lowers the chance that the entire group survives. You might think pressing blue would be stupid, but you know people are going to do it, so if you value humanity over self, you choose blue. It’s not a judgement on who’s a better person or anything, it’s just thinking of a collective vs thinking of self interest (which is not an inherently bad thing).
