  • That's not what's happening here though. A community, however open to subscriptions, is still a closed off, alibeit permiable space. It's like a community center that has a dog room. Everyone can see inside, everyone can be there, but no one is rubbing anything in anyone's faces if you enter and see something you don't like.

  • You justify calling people antisocial because you decided that the community in question is wholesome and happy while the dead animal posts are literal proof to the opposite. If the community explicitly said that no sad posts were allowed, you'd be in the right. But a community doesn't have to behave like you want it to just because you want it to, does it?

  • That's true for anyone not actively advocating for "share things that make me happy please but keep the sad sides to yourself, will ya?"

    That is selfish. I don't expect anyone to be sad with me, but when you feel so bothered by people who want to share their grief between your happy goofy dog pictures that you complain about it, you come off as selfish.

  • That's what we have seen in China time and time again. Given that the areas of the world where a 2 kids rule would be most applicable are the countries that lack access to medical care, contraception and education, that's what would happen there as well

  • So you want to see the pet I care for when it makes you happier, but you can't be bothered to bear the slightest hit to your mood when sharing my grief makes me happier? Yeah, no, I don't think you will be missed. Farewell!

  • Okay, let me rephrase that: is it just me or is the application of these terms typical US-centric? "Liberals" in Germany are definitely not the opposite of conservatives. Quite the contrary. The liberals are the go-to ally for the conservatives to form governments here.

  • Well, perhaps the UK has a more... Traditional liberalism. One that sees the new king as a Young (albeit a tad geriatric) whippersnapper, you know? A liberalism that tries to conserve the olden times.
