It turns out there are more than zero options between “do nothing” and “become what you hate”. Many in fact.

Also, just a plain old idiot. Imagine having the magical power to kill anyone undetected and you’re like “hooray, I can go after local crooks!”. Had Light ever seen a newspaper? Did he know the world outside his city existed? If you aren’t starting with and primarily focusing on people globally known are you even trying?
Exactly. A person can want every nazi dead and hope that nobody has to die while being completely logically and morally covered.

It was. As was watching the submarine races since there were multiple viable, errr, seating arrangements. A glorious time to be alive.
Look at all that space dedicated to a vanishingly small number of cars. This could be a nice inner courtyard with some grass or at least way more trees, but nah, we gotta have a road and weird alley with two parking spots per building.

0·12 days agoGiving Trump a politically popular win in the months leading up to a pivotal election certainly is a choice. Also, if the GOPedos are supporting this it is probably functionally useless or worse. Are Democrat strategists hyper-inbred sewer mutants who finished bottom of their class and/or do they show up to work wearing MAGA hats?

0·12 days agoAnd the other 1/3’s best solution is to elect the blue team who did little to nothing to avoid this very obvious outcome. Even helped here and there. Though the rigged popularity contest doesn’t offer alternatives.
And the people protesting are doing it American style, where it looks more like a weekend festival at the park. This is, of course, how they were taught to do it. The people in charge can tune that out entirely.
Face it, we need changes bigger than most people understand and harder than practically anyone wants to do to alter course now. Maybe, big maybe, when Trump dies the MAGA spell will be broken on the most moronic 1/3 and they’ll fragment back to religious infighting, cousin banging, wrastlin’, and whatever else was keeping them disjoined before. Otherwise, outlook grim.

tldr; I’m so tired of these Wrestlemania headlines of completely consequence free replies to people being terrible. Wake us when any bad person experiences anything approaching accountability.

0·14 days agoIt’s a lot easier, more reliable to promote your son to VP than Senior [blank] Engineer. Also, for some weird reason we could never have predicted if we wanted to create a more efficient and equitable system, the people who decide salary decided they should have the biggest salary by a lot.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you do if you lose an argument, but it turns out that you were actually right?English
0·14 days agoAvoid arguments as 9/10 they mean nothing.
If you find yourself in an argument, or what you think is an argument, caring about winning/losing is the wrong mindset. This isn’t Debate Camp and there isn’t a trophy waiting for you. Listening, testing your knowledge and convictions, and maintaining your integrity are all much, much more important than “winning”.
If you “lose” an argument, especially if you “lost” to style, tactics, rhetorical devices, etc… then see Rule 1 above.


mhhhh, I wonder if there is a hormone that is to being a greedy POS as ghrelin is to hunger? We should start cutting into billionaires until we find it.
