It's joever for America.

I don't have any serious answers, but I do know that it's important not to let good be the enemy of 'perfect'. And it's also important to remember that we will always make choices with incomplete information, but our choices (like our lives) are time-constraint, so eventually we have to pick a path regardless. Are you sure you wanna do AI trading? It's basically gambling with more steps, right? Or at the very least a bit 'esoteric', certainly not a clear way into financial stability. Maybe a trade would be better? Idk. Good luck, friend. 🙏

If a teacher's monologue counts, certainly!

All-or-nothing thinking is not too productive... and nobody said hedonism wasn't fun!

Could I really know what you believe in and what flavour of upright (or immoral, but I believe people were made "good" so why expect differently?) you are by having a passing knowledge of your exes? I guess if I asked your exes everything about you, maybe, but that assumes they're unbiased sources of information and, c'mon, lol. Or what your political (a derivation of ethics) views are? Or what your triggers and coping mechanisms are? I mean, we could get along no matter what kind of music you listen to/fast food you order, but other stuff like being a violent neo Nazi would evidently bring some friction to our friendship!

I doubt you're as vacuous as you think (certainly more than a collection of products you consume, right?), don't sell yourself short. 😉

Dwight, you're not understanding what I'm saying.

Valid point. 😅

No, people are aimless and in times of great wealth they just turn to hedonism and lose sight of the bigger picture. Man needs more than bread...

I think what you're picturing is way worse than what actually happened (although in all fairness he could've been chanting to Satan while f'ing the seagull, I'm just assuming it's how I picture it).

That's the kind of stuff I'm, today, mature and emotionally stable enough to force myself to lie about, lol. I'm good at yapping so I think that the one time I was asked that I just BSd my way out of it, what else would I do? Should I tell the company that consumerism is vacuous, stupid and immoral and as such they should also consider doing something prosocial instead of selling Nespresso machines?😅

Ah shit, better go out murder a bit to balance it all out!

Yep yep yep. A minor wrong turn and we're back at phrenology and 'genetic supremacy'...

❤️ I'd like to believe it's just some maybe brutish/unafraid but otherwise okay fella and not some everyday sociopath, lol.

Funnily enough, I agree with the sentiment, lol. Life is supposed to be responsibly enjoyable, where you draw the lines is what matters.

Pas pire que Reddit, non (peut-être?), mais je vois que c'est pas le e-paradis que j'avais été promis, mdr. Merci pour ta compréhension ! 🙏

Everyone makes choices for themselves. That's an attempt at a childish hedonistic argument ("bro, YOLO, why so serious?"). Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than publicly asserting your decision to be a couple and start a family unit, with the assent of your community. Today there are rites and legal documents to sign but it's the same at its core, which is why cohabitation laws making some sense. If you've met the in laws and take your partnership seriously, that's it. But many people today are pure unthinking hedonists and way past the age of discovery (+25, c'mon, even your brain is fully formed!), or too fearful to start a relationship with another human being in earnest, and that's it I guess.

I have a feeling that signing a whole legal document/ screaming to the four winds (both families included) you will be having sex with this person did a lot for consent. But I understand, marital rape. Divorce is a thing though, and always should have been, but some cultures have been historically more brutally misogynistic than others...

I was replying with the "what would you do with the information?" with that "I don't take personally etc etc"! 😅 As in, I won't take offence to 'weird' and seemingly antisocial behaviour, because I understand there's some differences in personality between tribes (meaning whatever they're giving me I need to reprocess accordingly). Perhaps, they have the tiniest bit of a genetic component (and are even harder/impossible to fully change, and hence why some of these differences and characteristics have been there seemingly forever). I mean, would that be that bad? Or does it really seem that far fetched?

It doesn't take balls to tolerate insults/derision, just understanding and patience. 🤷

He got violently assaulted by a seagull and had a gut reaction with a seagull. I know you wanna equate it semantically to people being problematic with people but, again, unless you're even more peaceful and selfless than Aang from ATLA, you're just being emotionally hypocritical. Had he eaten the seagull or composted it to reduce waste, what would the problem be?
