Really? Trinitarians are really out there believing priests have God’s authority and speak for Him? That’s wild.

Women are the biggest pervs, lol, have you seen what they read? 😅 Men are usually more simple in their desires, but they’re just always running in the background, pushing us to seek variety.

First of all, eww, don’t speak so casually about death. And no, lol, the only ones saying that are expats living in the West, of course. 😅

My mom recently packed a suitcase with all my old clothes I left back home almost 15 years ago (washed and folded) and brought it with her recently in her last visit. My room is still “my room” too, with my old Legos and MtG cards still in the same place I left them. 🥲

Don’t beat yourself up too much… just keep things in mind to make some small changes when possible. The kids are here already, there’s no going back, but you can go forward, despite the hardships, in a way you can be proud of, right? (I know, I know, it’s unsolicited advice, but it comes from a good place. ✌️)

Do you really think people just behave in certain, sex-related ways, because they’ve been told they’re this sex or the other? That sex-related behavioural differences don’t appear naturally but are just learned? Also, you definitely can “choose who you want to be”, lol, God made us all free-willed entities! But I cannot be a camel, nor can I be a non-material entity, or (ethnically) Nepali. We have degrees of freedom but we are fundamentally constrained by reality. If you deny reality (a very post modern, perspectivist approach that’s been very popular in the West for some decades now), then sure, you’re no longer constrained but then you lose the capacity to make any “objective” assertions about the world (because you denied an external reality).

Attention and entertainment. And, seeing how she hasn’t really said anything too evil or triggering, I don’t really mind (she’s also just 18, lol). She’s even made me giggle a couple of times. 🤷
- Comment on The only difference between a monster and a decent human being is the privilege of a support network. 2 days ago:
He was raised in the streets and used to sell drugs, which is why he ended up in jail for 7 years. To this day, he doesn’t know his mom or dad. The man had no support. Fair enough, “morality is a skill” as in the more you choose right over wrong, the easier it gets, it becomes a part of your identity you’re proud of, but I don’t think it requires resources the way you see it. Also, people can be and have been self-sacrificial, even in the absence of resources. The poorest people are the ones that give more to charity, there’s more union and prosociality in Gaza amongst the bombs than in any American neighborhood… Idk man, I’m not buying this. I think that it’s a variable that can affect your decision making, especially if your moral framework is flimsy, but not the main variable behind moral decision making.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point, TBF.

This is close to the “if people were educated they wouldn’t be evil” fallacy, as if people like Henry Kissinger didn’t exist, lol.
No, as Hume brilliantly pointed out: shoulds and ares are fundamentally disconnected. You can be extremely smart and knowledgeable about the world and still conduct yourself viciously (at times, monstrously so). What’s the name of that physically disabled physicist that cheated on his wife and was just chilling with/close to Epstein?
The only real difference between a moral person and a monster is that the former 1) believes that, for every occasion and decision, some acts are visibly, objectively more moral than others; 2) believes they should always privilege righteousness before vice, and do the moral thing. That’s it. One of my closest male friends is literally illiterate and he’s an excellent dad who chooses virtue regularly, my dad was a lawyer and that didn’t stop him from being abusive to his family and to cheat on his wife, lol.
So no, stop it, that’s not how it works. Good people are good because they decide to be good (which is easy to see, you don’t need degrees, you don’t even need to know how to read or write!), every day, and even when they slip they still know that they DID slip, they don’t just rationalize their mistake as something virtuous (because they believe in objective morality and etc etc.).
- Comment on Do not look at this if you live in Germany. 😐 2 days ago:
It’s not that simple, there are other people also bribing American politicians with opposing stances/objectives (Gulf countries, for example), or else Bibi wouldn’t have had to fly personally to meet with Trump and try to convince him like 6 times in the span of a year, risking arrest (for reference, I think Bibi only did it once when Biden was in office). In the end, the blame lies within America, because if the leaders were even slightly moral, or if the people cared even a little bit about politics (in general, I know many American Lemmings care), this shit wouldn’t happen.

No it isn’t, nothing Israel does happens without American approval and support. Mossad has kompromat on Trump and that’s pulling him in this or another direction, sure, but that’s a different story and a new development, a circumstantial one. The moment America has a new leader that hasn’t been recorded doing the nastiest of deeds by Mossad, even with AIPAC bribing many American politicians, Israel will be just one of many groups influencing American politics as it was in the recent past.

Nothing would’ve taken place if the conditions weren’t already there. White supremacy, a country of easily indoctrinated fools who refuse to think about anything and amorality made it happen, the Russians were but one group of many whispering into American ears.

Nonsense “triggers” the reasonable person. The West/America moves the way it does because it can and moral “shoulds” don’t play a role in it, never have, not because America has been infiltrated by the Ruskies to the point of changing its nature, lol.

IME, unless it’s for papers and whatnot, it’s usually because your brain doesn’t work so you have no options outside of it (and your brain is so atrophied that morality is not considered either).

Every so often I am reminded Reddit liberals (who just weren’t honest enough to stay there with their MAGA friends, who are closer to them than they are to anyone outside of the Western sphere) also came here. Oh well.
This shit is no joke, man, the US backed a coup and when it wasn’t successful enough they murdered people, and this is not even the first time in the span of a year (in this country). And American imperialism is always, always, on the wrong side of history and ethics, because they’re amoral geopolitical moves made to enrich Western aristocrats, loss of life is not even part of the equation. Stop it already, you don’t have to be Greta but at least you can understand this is nothing but violence for the sake of control by the usual villains, and not make fun of it all.
