Maybe, but not much of one. Honestly anyone supporting or protecting them is almost as bad as being them. Some technical terms would be sheltering, aiding, and abetting.

Most Final Fantasy games and JRPGs in general.

Nobody has a purpose in life. Belief that life has a purpose is a creationist delusion created to try and comprehend and apply order to what is intrinsically chaotic and random, and to fight the anxiety that their fears induce.

Your options are to choose one of the following:

1. Acceptance. You can accept that life is meaningless and that it’s okay. This one’s my preference.
2. Denial. You can deny life’s meaninglessness and seek to find or create a purpose for yourself. This can range from something as simple as a hobby to as life changing as having a family or advocating for a cause.
3. Embrasure. Revel in the chaos and express yourself through it, doing whatever you want without thought it care. This is best exemplified by the fictional character of the Joker.
4. Oppression. Take up religion to crush understanding of reality and replace it with a delusion of supernaturally defined purpose. This is probably the most commonly used option, frequently forced upon people during childhood.
5. Opposition. Attempt to fight the reality or mask the effects of meaninglessness through other means, such as direct therapy, chemical dependency (not recommended), talking with friends/family, or through other methods not previously mentioned.

Understanding one’s place in the universe (insignificant, irrelevant, and temporary speck) is important to having an accurate impression of ones existence. Whether one can accept that and what one do with that understanding is unique to the individual.

I hope that helps - good luck.

Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”

Don’t forget cruise ships and power plants in countries that either lack emissions control or bribe their way out of them.

This, but since these were expensive, lots of people bought cheaper, off-brand ones book-by-book at grocery stores over a period of 30+ weeks. We had a set growing up that my mother would pick up at whatever store we were going to, IDK, I was little.

It would be a shame if the person who sold out were publicly identified. Hopefully that will never ever happen.

Correction: random person who vaguely resembles images of a person in a similar jacket in unrelated images of alleged shooter selected as a sacrificial lamb by the incarceration industrial complex out of fear of the populace.

FTFY

This isn’t “news.” We all knew this already.

Seeing as how I’d have list the last things keeping me from killing myself, I wouldn’t.

That was damn fast, I didn’t think they’d hit Damascus this week.

Oh fuck no. For my entire life I’ve resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it’s impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.

What murderer? There’s an alleged person who allegedly may or may not have allegedly done something that allegedly resulted in the alleged death of that CEO. Allegedly.

Unfortunately this is America, and as members of Congress have publicly stated, there’s just nothing we can do about domestic gun violence. So even if an alleged person allegedly committed an alleged crime with a firearm, the system’s hands are tied.

Oh well. Anyway I’m gonna go eat some cake, since it’s all I have.

Reminds me of how the local government forced my dad to retire early (public works employee). It makes me want to see every water main he ever fixed crack open again. At the exact same time.

I’ve long said that for anyone guilty of a capital crime, death was far, far too merciful. Honestly we need to start trying these rich healthcare exec bastards for manslaughter.

They’re gonna have to thanks to Jackass McKenedy, if no other reason.

They’re also wasteful pollution machines when they’re run, and for no practical purpose. They’re just toys to these people.

Reddit’s API fuckery. That’s it, that’s the whole reason. Fuck spez.

We can’t. IMO unless some of the military brass grow the spines needed to actually fulfill their oaths to protect the United States from threats both foreign AND DOMESTIC, we’re all pretty well fucked.

If by empathy they mean that like most rich people he only cared about problems when they directly impacted himself, then yes he did. Unfortunately for him, when this particular problem impacted him that his empathy did nothing to help him.
