I don’t expect life to be fair to begin with. Would be nice if it were but I don’t see a reason to assume that from it.

How it’s unfair to me? I don’t know. I guess I’m a more serious person than most and I think about things deeply. People who don’t take things as seriously as I do probably don’t enjoy my company that much nor do I theirs. I’m not sure how else to explain it. I care about things I invest my time, thought and effort to and I tend to ignore things I don’t care about. Like social games, small talk etc.

Becoming a millionaire and becoming the richest people in the world are quite different. There’s plenty of people with 100k USD who are not and will never be as succesfull/wealthy as Elon.

But sure, whatever. You don’t like Musk so I don’t think anything anyone is going to say will change your mind on that.

His emerald mine owning family is dirt poor compared to Elon. You’re free to move the goalposts all you want but what Elon is doing is quite literally chasing the american dream.

Roman coins is the first thing that came to mind. There’s a ton of them out there and museums don’t want any more either. You can get one for quite cheap.

More than my girlfriend does

You wouldn’t say that of most other immigrants

Getting shot by a hunter is the quickest and most ethical way for an old wild buck to die. The alternative is to either starve to death or get ripped into pieces by a predator.

I’d argue eating meat can be done ethically though. Hunting is one way and growing your own farm animals is another.

EDIT: Oh yeah and my website.

My stance on eating meat is kind of the exact opposite of what I was asking here. It’s one of the two things I continue doing despite not being able to morally justify it. Piracy is the other one.

And some variety in the userbase as well. This is quite the echo chamber. Not that reddit wasn’t but Lemmy is even worse in that sense.

I’m with you on this one. I tell the truth even when it’s potentially harmful to me. However, it also holds you accountable because it prevents one from doing things they would have the urge to lie about in the future.

Also, not lying doesn’t mean radical honesty. Just that you don’t say things that are untrue. I think lying is only acceptable when used to prevent violence - kind of like violence is also acceptable when defending yourself. So if there are nazies on the door asking wether you have Anne Frank on the attic, it’s okay to lie.

“We got rid of the brain cancer. Here, have leukemia instead”

The way I see this is that it’s not TikTok that’s the issue. It’s short form videos.

Someone telling me about their dream in a great detail.

I haven’t made any assumptions about where you’re from. I’m only arguing against the blanket statement of telling everyone to stop using whatsapp.

Yay murder.

And instead use what? Signal? And then chat with the zero other people who use it?

Telling europeans to not use whatsapp is like telling people not to use the power grid. It’s more popular here than iMessages are in the US.

Predators can see in the dark much better than you do and not only that; their sense of hearing and especially smell is orders of magnitude better than yours.

As someone who has spent several nights alone in a pitch dark forest, shit’s scary. You hear sounds around you all the time and you have no idea wether it’s a bird, human or a bear.

You really think that the only ones against ending capitalism are a handful of wealthy people?

I don’t think I will.
