Ok, in what countries do police have a duty by law to help people? And if the duty to help others comes from being human, then police are doing a fucking terrible job at fulfilling it

Police have no duty to protect anyone. Literally. There are no laws saying police have to help anyone. Police do not exist to help anyone.

To let them continue what? Commiting crimes? Guess what, we don’t, that’s what prison is for. Far better than killing people because your personal opinion is that they need to die

Either there is an acceptable number of innocent people that can be executed, or the government never makes mistakes. Which is it?

You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that’s me. Haven’t spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can’t bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

Yeah that’s me. I’m definitely not an incel, I’m self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There’s hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not “redpill nutjob” guys out there

Yeah, I haven’t and won’t make a plan but have often thought to myself that if I ever do kill myself that’s how I’m gonna do it. Literally just like falling asleep. I’d much much much rather take that than lethal injection

If I ignore all the problems with company towns, it sounds perfect tbh

Something’s gotta be, may as well be this

On a more serious note, I have absolutely no basis for this whatsoever but I think it’s likely there’s an antimatter universe somewhere, and that that and our universe spontaneously came into existence from nothing. 0 = -1 + 1. I mean, it’s almost certainly nonsensical to the people who study this stuff but it’s a fun idea

Yeah, obviously wages SHOULD be keeping up with inflation and inflation should be a low, stable amount. That’s the problem, not inflation in general.

A small amount of inflation is healthy. You REALLY want to avoid deflation, because that means the value of your money is increasing. If people know their money will be worth more in the future, they won’t spend it, incentivized to save and sit on it. That means on average everyone spends less, slowing the economy down and starting into a recession/depression.

Gonna slap this with the good old “I am not an economist” disclaimer, juat what I remember from economics class in high school

Waiting for my old phone to get ready to navigate and play music

I feel like everything has to be ironic now and I hate it. I feel like modern media has generally lost the ability to be genuine

I second deep rock

Absolutely. The reasons we need to are the same reasons many aren’t able to. The situation has been designed to keep us compliant.

We’re kept too busy trying to survive and too divided by the propaganda machine to organize and make things better. There certainly is a “me first” attitude problem as well but as always the situation is more complicated than that.

Tbh, the star trek TNG universe probably. Go see a post scarcity society, a world where humanity really made it, then go find a job on a starship for a while

Do other lifeforms exist? Sure. Have any ever visited earth? Definitely not.

A dildo. Get to know yourself and what you like a little and it’s legitimately brain melting. You don’t have to be gay to enjoy em, I’m glad I gave butt stuffing a try.

Just make sure whatever you get is actually body safe. Silicone is generally the only good soft body safe material, look for medical grade or platinum cure.

I am living proof that this will fuck you right up

You just don’t notice it till it really becomes a problem

I’ve seen both of my grandfathers become shadows of who they were due to alzheimers and I really hope I don’t live long enough for that to happen to me. Fate worse than death, I think that’s reasonable
