Why do you portray suggesting therapy as something nefarious? Therapy is proven to be effective at helping people to have better lives. You're stigmatising getting help right now.

You don't need to shame them. Just explain what is weird to you.

What if the company you're stealing from is ethically bankrupt?

some of the weird answers you got here

Can you elaborate which answers you found weird and why?

[–] Helix@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You just chose not to listen to the others telling you similar things in words you like less.

The problem exists but it's not nearly as frequent as you believe.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

you can do a quick search on Twitter or Google

As I said, doomscrolling.

How do you avoid people boycotting or review-bombing your business en masse and still freely express yourself?

Simple rule in business: no sex, no drugs, no politics.

You must have been living under a rock the past decade then.

You seem to have doomscrolled a lot. Our earth is inhabited by billions of people with millions of businesses and you're thinking a few isolated cases mean you're in danger of being cancelled 🤣

It is an emotional problem. I own part of a business and it's nearly impossible to "cancel" me.

As someone else said, perspective makes all the difference.

Ordinary people get cancelled all the time

Citation needed.

That someone can have the best life possible and feel good instead of being hurt doesn't explain where the value and worth comes from. You can objectively be worth next to nothing or even be detrimental to society and still deserve a good life.

In fact, I think humans have no worth at all. They destroy the environment simply by existing in capitalism. There is no such thing as an ethical consumer. And in capitalism, we all consume.

That doesn't mean I want humans to suffer. Please note that distinction. It's OK to be worth nothing, you're allowed to just live.

better off letting someone else run that side of a business.

Good advice.
