The woes of progress

After people realize they are continuously enabling the rich and those in power that are holding the pockets of the rich. But before that can happen, people need to stop fighting over bullshit like Target selling rainbow stuff. We as people only truly care about problems when they impact our own way of life. And that's why we'll burn with the planet. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will

I enjoy photography. Don't misunderstand. I'm not depressed. Just truly fed up with people. I've said it a million and one times, but this time it felt like something clicked. I just can't even care anymore. So many people just wish ill will for no reason except they can. How important do you have to think of yourself to do that? Why waste energy ro hate? So I would much rather not spend any energy at all on the people that don't deserve it. I feel it was more of a courtesy for me to post it than anything. Hope that doesn't sound conceited

I've greatly appreciated Diogenes and cynics, but living like Diogenes did isn't viable and the world is a lot bigger now then it was.

I'll give you that. And it's a very good point. I'd like to take you ripple analogy and use it.

A pebble can make a ripple. A handful of pebbles can make a bigger ripple, and without interference, that ripple can travel a good distance.

But what kind of ripple can a Boulder make? What about a bunch of boulders? What if a bunch of boulders are dropped in the water the same time the handful of pebbles are? Sure. Add more pebbles. The pebbles ripple gets bigger, but then more boulders drop in the water. The logical response would be add more pebbles.

Suddenly you realize that you are about to displace all the water, but more boulders keep coming. You stop adding pebbles and that slows it down, but boulders keep coming. You can't stop them until finally all the water is gone.

What should you have done different?

There you go. Thinking you are more important than you actually are. Just got off of work, smoking a bowl, and watching King of the Hill. That's right. You're important enough to me to kill time. That's about it though

I honestly appreciate your concern, but no. I honestly try to do everything I can to find my own happiness. And most days I like to think I'm succeeding. Got an awesome supportive gf, a job that I enjoy working, two dogs that are absolutely ecstatic when I get home, and a one year plan of marrying my girlfriend and starting our family is going great.

I also am glad that reality brings you solice. It does the same for me. It's so much weight takien off your shoulders. But since you think like that, you can also understand the existential double-edged sword

I've read Nietzsche, and dipped in Camus, but will admit I need to read more. I'm assuming you mean Smith that's a typo in which case, I have no clue who you mean. I've also read Diogenes, Socrates, and Confucius (which I believe I am contradicting the most)

Thanks for your opinion that has zero impact on mine or anyone else's life

Apply what I said to your statement

XD the true dream

Don't let Nintendo know

No. What they are referring to is a seperation in media consumption, not the blocking of specific media.

I know your concern but my question is ultimately about personal preference over actual standard or expectation. If I were to say that porn itself on lemmy should be it's own, privately accessible entity would be defederation (even though that is not a word in the lexicon. Closest would be anti-federalist). Plus, me personally, I'm getting the impressions that you are trying to say that it should be expected to look at porn which is not the case. I can personally choose to avoid it if I want to. I'm not asking to shut it down

They do, but some of us heathens will just post anything anywhere

I don't know why I didn't think of that. That's a good idea

I like local because it helps me find new communities I might be interested in. Just filtering by subscribed kind of closes you off to things.

He's an asshole, but he's right. SCOTUS is supposed to be the last stop for constitutional rights. They can even block presidential directives if they are what they (Scotus) perceive as unconstitutional. However we've recently learned that there's a couple of members with sugar daddies and saying something like this isn't only piss poor timing, it's basically saying that Alito believes himself to be untouchable and infallible with authority over congress. Now keep in mind that we as American citizens make the ultimate vote (by the majority) to fill congressional seats to cater to the majority's needs, Alito is saying that SCOTUS is untouchable and infallible to the people

Maybe you're on to something. If we (humans) think it's hot, what are our furry friends dealing with? Let's save the world for our pet friends

Thanks. I'll take a look
