RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

People who say schools don’t teach anything useful are failed students.

Make housewives (or house husbands, not gonna judge) viable again. Women in the workplace was a crummy deal all things considered.

There's no ethical way to kill someone who's done nothing to you and doesn't want to die.

If it wasn't for American gun owners, the fascists would have already destroyed us.

People who complain about multiple once-in-a-lifetime events happened in their lifetime really are snowflakes.

Moral relativism and the postmodern position of 'nothing is true' (with the accompanying commandment not to think about anything too deeply because, again, no underlying truths exist) are now more than ever at the core of Western thought and the main reason that, despite the fact that the West has and continues to pillage and extract resources around the world thanks to their military superiority (and moral relativism plus a real belief in the racial superiority of Europeans) and probably enjoy some of the materially richer and safer existences ever, people in these countries have to pop pills/drugs/booze or turn the gun on their families and themselves to deal with their existences. The confusion is unbearable, and the lack of stable, productive, morally fulfilling ideology makes one aimless and prone to failure because the world and their understanding of the world are not compatible (can't make good predictions if your starting point is wrong or inexistent!).

I expect disagreement and even harassment on Lemmy/Western online spaces because, well, I know who I'm talking to. But doctors don't waste their time on the healthy! Travel a bit and go to brown places and you'll see what I'm talking about.

We should not try to save every creature, plant, business, whatever that is threatening to become extinct. Maybe it's just their time.
