I mean what would you expect from a kingdom, other than to be primitively stupid?

Don’t take their comment as an attack. It actually doesn’t seem like a bad idea
- Comment on If you found out your cousin was a billionaire (non-famous) and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, how would you react? Would you be mad he didn’t tell you? 1 week ago:
No, I’d be mad he’s such a piece of shit and I would tell him to go die.
Being a billionaire is worse than being a murderer.
- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 2 weeks ago:
Why are so many dumdums encouraging this?
Other than the obviousness of the fact that there’s not any good reason to try, weed is known to cause a lot of issues for young people. Even medical cannabis is generally not recommended unless you’re pretty old, because the risks are not worth the effects.
If you’re feeling the need to consume weed and alcohol that young, what you need is therapy, not to get high.

Bad idea =/= unethical
- Comment on How do you play Poker with just 2-person text messages or DMs? 2 weeks ago:
Assuming that you are not going to be cheating, you can have a deck of cards where you mark the back with a random number. You let the other player know which cards are marked with each number (ideally in a way that won’t let you memorize them).
Then you just handle the cards. You shuffle, you pick the cards, and when you pick for the other player, you do not look at the cards, just at the numbers, that you communicate to them.
This way, they know which cards they have without you knowing them, and you have a simple system.
Obviously it’s very easy for you to cheat, but if it’s just friendly play there’s no reason for you to do so, and therefore for your friend to believe so.

- Comment on If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on? 2 weeks ago:
Cancer is only the biggest thing because it can hit anyone, including rich people.
Not because it’s actually what is the biggest threat.

I don’t know why you’re using the past tense, the church is still defending them.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah and the catholics are the most moral and good people around.
Who the fuck sees Catholicism as a proof of success?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Or, you know.
Humans are a bunch of savage monkeys, and it’s up to them to make up rules that enforce what is best for everyone, and morals do that. And if you sacrifice morals to follow an illusion of success, then that’s a problem and I’m going to call you on it.
I don’t believe in the idea that “if most people want shit then let them have it”.
Kids want to eat kilos of candies, yet you don’t let them eat it and die. Well it’s the same with humans. If a majority is having shit values or morals, then you need to educate them, not let them be. The idea of letting things be is what led to things like the nazis, where no one wanted to oppose them until half of their country was invaded.
And understanding things without experiencing is called empathy, and it’s a trainable skill. Which also needs to be enforced upon people. It’s crazy to me that prehistoric humans were having more empathy than current humans, even though we now have thousands of years of philosophy behind us.
All in all, we need to stop being so complacent about others being shitty, and start enforcing rules and safeguard that force people to be held to a certain moral standard. That’s how we’ll evolve.

The fact that people like batman is a problem.
If you think that everyone should do what works without any concern about what is right, that’s your issue.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I love the fact that the only details you gave about your story are money, skin color, country of origin.
Maybe the problem is that if your character is only defined by their skin color and wealth, it’s not a very good character. You should be able to have a better description of someone than just talking about their skin color and bank account.
So it feels a bit shallow, from whatever small information you gave, which might be what your friend picked on.
- Comment on How many projects involve LLM-written code now? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not a tool, it’s a chaos generator.
Don’t let people who build houses do it with cardboard boxes instead of bricks, even if it looks like a house in the end.
- Comment on Positive affirmations from your favorite captains 3 weeks ago:
For me it was always obvious.
I mean, Janeway was thrown into a hostile environment with basically nothing, and sometimes picked the less moral choices, to make her crew survive.
Sisko decided to ruin the lives of basically a whole planet, just because he was to arrogant to admit that he got defeated.
I think there’s a matter of context, and Sisko has no way to justify his behaviour other than “I see myself as god so I can do whatever I want”
- Comment on Positive affirmations from your favorite captains 3 weeks ago:
I mean… Crimes of war Sisko?
- Comment on Can to many hits to the head make a person the R word in animals? My bc loves to run around the house and hits his head constantly but shakes it off. He acts normal and everything exceept4 zoomies? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, because there are no ways to talk about, let’s say, brain damage, without using slurs. You knew enough to know it’s bad, and yet you decided to still using it, just with a little safeguard against bans.
Moron.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 5 weeks ago:
Reason on its own doesn’t bring enough to the table. Without critical thinking (and even with it) reason can lead to any conclusion.
If the data you reason on is flawed (and it is for everyone) then you’ll end up with wrong conclusions no matter how reasonable you are.
- Comment on Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory? 5 weeks ago:
Dude.
It’s a story that basically says “nowadays women accuse you of rape for no reason so you should never help them”
The ones who wrote, believed and relayed this story are just sexual assaulters, nice guys and incels. Of course it’s fake.

- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
Yes, if there are bullets or parts of metal that fly randomly, it is always going to be a hazard. Even without lead poisoning, I don’t believe that chunks of metal in the digestive system would be good for this bird, or any other animal. And what is the point, what good does a stupid outdoors gun range bring? Even if you think that it’s fine for people to learn how to be better at shooting deadly weapons, what does an outdoors setting bring other than risks?
- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it is a problem.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
That’s why I also mentioned to stop shooting guns. If you are shooting in such an unsafe way that fragments fly around and get lost, then you shouldn’t be allowed to shoot in the first place.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know, humans are good at diverging from their instincts when it comes to letting sick people die, but when it comes to killing less, they cannot anymore?
I think that low-ass standards are what prevent humans from getting any better, if you start justifying mindless murders as “just instinct” then of course people will be fine with it. And funnily enough, that’s one of the main arguments that hunters use, saying that they’re just doing something “natural”.

“Choose lead free ammunition”
No?
Just stop shooting guns and murdering things like a crazy ape?
- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 5 weeks ago:
To not sound like a creepy old guy, start by not being one.
“Attractive woman. 30-ish”
“Nice lady”
“pretty distracting”
“Continue eyes up!”
Like wtf, you are being so creepy about a fucking zipper! Even as I’m writing that I feel like your first defense would be something creepy like “I’m just a man, I can’t help feeling like that” or similar.
Man, it’s just a random person with a zipper open. She wasn’t flirting. If you were happily married you wouldn’t go drooling as soon as you see a woman with a zipper open just because she’s younger and “attractive” as if she’s nothing but a piece of meat.
You wouldn’t have felt so awkward if she was “ugly”, older, or a man; it’s quite clear from your description. The reason for that is that you are a creepy old dude.
And now all the sex obsessed creeps that feel targeted are going to downvote this because they feel offended.
