Thanks you, comrade.

North Korea hasn’t done anything terrible. If you disagree, you just need to spend some time in a re-education camp.

I believe Jovovich’s character in the movie Two Moon Junction was also big into new AI memory techniques, so this works.

The actual explanation is much simpler.

Came here to write “kidney stones,” and yours was the only other mention. Gallstones hurt to a similar degree, but as they move in and out, you get some relief from the pain.

Wouldn’t that help to save the dying planet much faster than your idea of having humans go extinct in the next generation? Shouldn’t the highest good be more suffering for humans (evil) and less for animals, only a few of which only adopt, typically in rare circumstances?

It’s No Stupid Questions, not No Incredibly Rude Questions.

Maybe give some money to the poor before buying a second TV. Otherwise, a Sherpa might poison you for your hubris.

I assume you use the Red Room for other things.

Depends how long you can hold your breath.

From the comments I’ve read, people seem concerned with how unimportant labels are, amd that people should be free to label themselves.

The problem here is not what OP wants to call herself or whether there are black and white labels that apply to her situation. The problem is that there are communities based around such labels where people are expected to conform to what the community considers the label to mean. This causes issues because the nature of the community is to include some people and exclude others.

Where “people are fluid” and “labels are arbitrary” causes conflicts is exactly in these kinds of situations where people must fall inside a category in order to participate. The debate about transgender athletes is only a concern because there are sporting events limited to women only. Now you need to decide who is a woman and who is not. TERFs object to people who they categorize as men trying to co-opt the feminist movement.

Take away the requirement to meet others’ definition of who can participate in the group, and you can now accept that people are not always easy to categorize by rigid labels.

Are fertility rates really a problem caused by microplastics? There are people who want to have kids who can’t, but the ones who are young are a small percentage of people.

The two things with the most overwhelming influence on fertility rates is the willingness of people to have children and their access to birth control.

There are more ways to harm someone’s life than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Properties in landslides go for almost nothing.

Given OP’s example, this comment stunned me. Then I realized (or hoped) you were “stunned” by the implications of their difficult time and not because they sounded profoundly ignorant.

Sounds like imposter syndrome. I’ve been surprised by some compliments that seem genuine. Probably we’re more helpful than we realize.

Weird coincidence, then.

I believe Marx wrote about this. And the reason I believe that is so many people on Lemmy have a ready answer.

Maybe you have Covid.

Isn’t a market economy glorious that way? It’s better than petitioning the government to update their 5-year plan on crisp flavours.
