Arguing for what's best for humanity long term..

all their wealth has been distributed to feed those who are in need. Who are you going to kill and eat next?

No one. This isn't the fascism that always needs an enemy to hate on

The intention is different. Self defense against conservatives vs their offense against all. See also the paradox of tolerance

Doctors cut people up just like serial killers. They're basically the same.

is that not also a form of weakness masquerading as strength?

what?

How are you any better if you hate them for that?

I'm better than them because I'm not trying to overthrow the government to install a dictatorship that protects my in-group (eg: straight white people) and binds my out-group. I'm not trying to destroy the environment, murder the queers, ban books, ban vaccines, either.

Please. Elaborate.

I don't think the fumes from vaping are especially safe or welcome, either. At least there's no littering, though

You probably watch YouTube with the sound on and no headphones in public, too.

Hating on weak people feels good to them, maybe?

Every smoker I've met gets very defensive about "why can't I breathe my toxic fumes on everyone else?? What's the big deal?? And then they get so mad when I litter like get over yourself"

Smoking in public is indefensible. There are smoking cessation programs.

Conservatives have no real value system beyond "what is good for me right now?". They like or dislike things for transient, emotional, reasons. They might be in favor of charity when it's doing something they personally benefit from, but that's about as far as their reasoning goes.

Conservatives would say this is communism and bad, which is why we should kill and eat conservatives.

Probably because they're addicted, enjoy the high, and don't have the means or strength of character to quit.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
