Essential community! Subscribed and will try to help people, though I am also a noob at lemmy. But yes, I agree that this sort of community is extremely helpful and could vastly improve lemmy.

Great post. Thank you for being on lemmy. You are making the internet/society a better place!

That’s quite the clever tactic. Just throw together a “salad” of an argument — so incoherent and lacking in logic that no one can make sense of it. Then say, “if you can’t understand it, you’re proving my point.” Win? Somehow?

I think suicide should be legal for all ages. If one didn’t ask to be born, why should one have to wait many many years to exit?

And while I am of the opinion that suicide should be legal and freely provided, mental health (and all other forms of health) should also be provided freely.

I think this is the one thing that is impossible to defend. In my opinion, not being vegan is impossible to justify, on ethical and moral grounds. And I am not vegan currently (I was in the past).

I think if people had to pay for every software package, it would get very expensive, very fast. I am against having to pay for FLOSS. I am, however, of the opinion that FLOSS devs should be paid. Professional use should pay them, and big companies using FLOSS packages should pay the devs of said packages a substantial amount. Facebook uses something free? No way, you will pay.

Basic Income would also help FLOSS.

I am lost at your comment. Seems like a word salad in which you say absolutely nothing of substance.

What does being an organ donor have to do with capitalism, or with the western society? And what does it have to do with “humans as physical entities in terms of the value they create”? What are you talking about?

I’m opposed to your perspective because it creates the precedent for Westerners to continue rationalizing the dehumanization of people under the safety umbrella of good capitalist business practices.

What???

Why? But why are you not an organ donnor and why would your wishes even matter? You will be death. Your organs can either decompose in the dirt, or help save a life and reduce suffering. Why do you want “someone in your court” to decide?

It is, indeed, very selfish of you. Why?

Your takes are way too mild guys… Yet again, I will go even further:

I am an antinatalist:

• Having kids is unethical in all cases. It is always an egocentric act. You may have many reasons to have kids, but none are for the good of the child. It cannot be, since the child does not exist yet. Hence, it is egotistical.

It is always better to not exist.

“Better never to have been”, by Benatar, should be mandatory reading.

I agree with you, but I go even further. I think suicide should be legal, in all cases. There should be suicide booths that provide a humane, painless dead, for free use by whoever wants to kill oneself. And I am of the opinion that this would improve society. If the “slaves” of today’s society had an easy way out, perhaps the CEOs and the billionaires would have to start paying living wages and wouldn’t be able to take advantage of people and ruin the environment/society.

And another interesting scenario would be: You kill a CEO, run to a suicide booth, kill yourself.

This, of course, will never happen because the people at the top would never let it happen. And the fact that the people at the top are against it, is enough proof, imo, that this would be a net gain for society/humanity. Something that endangers the top is good. Fuck them.

I, also, am against the death penalty. I don’t trust anyone with that job. However, at the same time, I also believe some people should be killed. People who gravely endangered humanity and caused immense suffering to everyone who exists and will exist, for example, pro-capitalist and pro-modern-slavery people such as Elon Musk. Or the guys from the Volkswagen emissions scandal. People like those should not exist.

That is really helpful. Thank you for posting!

Dunno why he didn’t link sex forums. I am sure there are some nice ones out there!

Can you source (links) where you took those numbers and all that info?

There are probably several, if you search for them. The one I have handy is this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25628520/

And thank you for asking for source! I didn’t add them initially because I was lazy. But we should definitely normalize asking for proper literature/sourcing.

Is this really the case? I find this unexpected. Lemmy seems to be friendly to the LGBTQ people, namely trans.

If what you say is true, we should probably address it somehow.

I think it is important to know where you are from. If in EU, I recommend HSN, namely the pea protein powder (or soy protein). From an hypertrophy stand-point, they are as good as whey protein (there are randomized controlled trials showing this). They are also much cheaper and environmentally friendly. Though I never tried unflavored!

Fantastic! New people (and old as well), please give to the community! Post and/or comment as much as possible, to make Lemmy an even better place!

You can do so by just regularly commenting and/or posting, but also by creating new communities and bringing some activity to inactive ones!

Yes… Let the hate between the couch fucker and this idiot flow.

Welcome! Please create content, both by posting and commenting!

Help the community grow!

Pay attention to her “bids for connection”. When she asks something, even if it is something simple, such as a request to look at a meme on the phone, try to accept the bid and do look at her meme.

Also, why not just ask her? “Hey sis, I see that you are unhappy with the way I treat you. I am sorry, I will try to do better. Can you tell me what it is that you want me to do more?”

Seems like she really likes you but she is not feeling love from you. She wants that.
