Well the important thing here is you found a way to be humble about it all. Kudos on finding a way to live your truth in a way that allows you to ignore everyone else's. I suppose that really is the opposite of virtue.

Edit: but on a serious note, I think you're already hard on yourself and maybe we should let up. I think in a way you're instigating this to get attention, which I am not bothered by, I just want to point out that there's a need here that has to be fulfilled.

I don't think having a diversity in viewpoints on whether kids have rights is something to celebrate.

Writing on it on Lemmy isn’t ’caring about it’. It’s just virtue signalling.

It certainly isn't virtue signaling when you post 4 times to a single post talking about how you do actually care but it isn't misplaced like other people here. You're actually here changing hearts and minds one conversation at a time.

Irresponsible vs responsible is how the credit card companies frame it, but I think most of the time it's about luck. The kind of luck where the primary income gets hit by a car or someone in the family gets cancer.

If you name the garage door "pod bay door", will it hallucinate responses based on Space Odyssey?

It's all about individual freedom until you start asking libertarians about the rights of kids and contractual indentured servitude.

My dude, Bernie did a 8.5 hour filibuster and was coherent and on point the whole time, no phone book reading https://youtu.be/pm6qy_9E0rY

She's right, but given our situation this misses the point. The ruling class wants you to think reforms are a "replacement" to revolution, but we don't need to accept that premise. Reforms weaken the ruling class, otherwise they would already be enacted. So I ask, por que dos?

The media is working as intended, to expect it to "unfuck itself" based on market signals is unserious.

I never wondered what a microdosed meth-fueled article would look like. Thank you for this.
