Instances are like ideologic factions here in some cases. Particularly .ml. Keep an eye on the instance associated with people’s usernames. Typically gives you perspective on the way they may act.

I argue with people about half the time and just talk the other half. My very recent is just because I decided to engage with a .ml post lol. I’ve got a feeling your sense of humor is very warped. I mean, if you can’t understand the concept of altering an image to give it exaggerated features, thus increasing its humor.

You’re missing my Point

Thats not silly. This photo is funny. The added edit makes it more funny by adding silly. A big part of humor is usually hyperbole.

Yes

The rumors are he is

All the women listed are considerably more rich.

I do love joji

Silly funny?

This pic is more funny. Extremes usually make things more funny.

And you’ll seeeeee a land of pure flatulation.

When the crime is strictly a parent killing their children its about 50/50 this is called filicide. You’re conflating family annihilation with filicide. Your source supports my claim not yours. There have been more than double instances of filicide vs familicide in the same span. I don’t know the names of any of the men or women. Again women being around half that number. You are talking about a different crime. Especially considering those are almost always very open and shut whereas this has lots of strange intricacies. The prosecution absolutely disputes she is/was insane at the time of the crime. That’s literally the entire case. They even brought medical professionals involved her treatment to dispute the fact she was insane. Are you sure your angle isn’t rooted in misandry? That last claim I made has the exact same amount of merit your claims about ableism and misogyny do. Which is very little. I believe she should be in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life, not general prison. The false narrative that she is either going to be found innocent or guilty is what’s mudding the waters. She’s either going to prison or a hospital upon retrial, period. This is in the news in part because it distracts from Trump raping kids and the general shit show happening. As well as the fact its just an interesting case with a ton of layers.

I’ll check back in a few hours, I have a feeling this’ll be a dumpster fire.

Thats a pretty concerning response especially considering the anonymity

I don’t know what you mean.

They all do

I hear ya

Exactly

I’ll just work with the “mattering” side of things. Though, I do appreciate everything else you’ve said. For me, mattering is impossible on a cosmic scale. For who I am, it’s also impossible on a historic/large scale. I’ll never be a leader or do anything worthy of history books or even a biography. That’s okay, I wouldn’t want to. On the “big” side, I’m an engineer working in electrical generation. Right now it’s nothing special but it does keep the lights on for many. Eventually with enough experience, luck and growth I hope to work on the nuclear side of things. I’ll never invent a thing that changes anything. But hopefully I’ll be part of a better future and cleaner energy. Being a little cog on a machine that big feels weighty and good. On the “small” scale, I’m a good member of my community. I spend about 16 hours a month volunteering with a really great animal shelter. I own/operate a small farm. ROUGH numbers, I sell about a quarter, keep about a quarter and donate about half of the things I produce. Its just enough money for me to consider it a moderately expensive hobby. That makes me matter to a small number of people, which in turn, makes me and my actions matter. I recognize the nihilistic point of it ultimately not tipping the grand scale at all. But for a minute something I produced kept a person fed whether they paid for it or not, that matters to me. Ironically both things are done kind of selfishly so that I can feel I matter.

If I bring any of my core beliefs into this discussion I’ll be dismissed, so I won’t. I’m operating in this discussion as though your premise is the sole correct one. That being the case 1000 years? Way too short I’d love to live infinitely. I’d want to feel things and participate in society as long as possible. “Mattering” to a small degree does carry some weight in my life. Its why I do the positive things I do and why I work the career I do. I recognize on a cosmic scale I don’t matter, but why is that of any consequence at all. The individual experience you can have when you don’t matter is all that really counts. So cutting it short/not wanting to extend it makes even less sense. I’m not trying to change your mind obviously and I’m enjoying the discussion.
