Originally posted by aldra taking action that guarantees your death is probably the only choice you can make that's truly your own
What about suicide makes you think it is "more genuinely" your own, versus anything else you do?
I don't believe there is a genuine self behind the mask.
You're not your body. If you lost your leg, we could replace it theoretically and you would still be you. In fact, theoretically we could replace every bone in your body, every tissue, and you would still be you.
You're not your brain. Theoretically, if we could replicate your brain exactly the replicated brain wouldn't be a second you; you would still be you, and the new brain would be a new person who may think extremely similarly to you, but they would still be new person who can and will become different than you.
You're not even your brain state. Someone who has experienced a traumatic injury to their brain may develop a different personality, but they are still the same person. Your grandparents can lose their memories as they age but they remain your grandparents. In theory we could reprogram Jack's mind, erase old memories and give him new ones, completely change his personality - and he would still be Jack. He would just act and think differently and no longer identify with how he acted and thought before the procedure.
So what is left? Underneath everything that can be replaced and changed, behind every "choice" and everything that is molded by the world and developes and changes as we age, fundamentally what remains?

some races dont get certain diseases or conditions that others do, because biology is racist?
native americans never get male pattern baldness, because folicles are native supremacists?
i could go on and on. social construct my fucking ass. we are all different, deal with it. embrace it or cry a river about it, no one gives a shit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Why is everyone cucking and condemning the protestors. This is why the "right" always loses. You never seen the "left" condemn antifa/black lives matter terror and destruction.
the left has general support of the top and the bottom - the 'elites' who encourage the behaviour and allow it to go unpunished, and the bottom-rung unemployables who have nothing to lose. the right is more around the middle; they're more concerned with retaining what they have (ie. families, small businesses etc.), even if it isn't much in the grand schemeThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by netstat Why 11? Why not 8? or 6? or 4? or 2? or abolished entirely?
It's a tactical number. Not pre-teen or ten. Also, age of consent laws should be abolished. If someone fucks a 1yo the courts could just slap them with assault of a minor under the age of so and so, there's a bazillion laws related to harming children already. So that's good, because if no harm has occurred neither has a crime.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It's never been easier to make your own website, or even host videos, than it has right now in 2020. Yet people moan about big tech sites - while still using them.
Look at what Lanny did. He could have made this just another subreddit and been Anti Defamation Leagued, but instead not only did he host a forum, he wrote his own software.

Originally posted by cigreting Well then he should have had priorities on what he spent his money on each month. When I was working independently i had to get my own health coverage. You know what I did? I decided what I was going to cut out of my budget and what was a necessity in order to make sure I had my insurance premium paid every month. You know, like a responsible adult would do.
All you democrat fuckers are all about not being held accountable for your actions. Durrrr ashtrayneisha couldnt afford her insurance because she had to bail out her boyfriend from jail and buy weed. Da gubberment should pay for her health care right? Not her fault she/her family are multiple felons in and out of jail. Oh wait they pay for all nig gers health care anyway while i paid about 300 a month for a single healthy male with shitty ass coverage
Oh yeah you were such a good boy for sacrificing your quality of life significantly in the statistically overwhelmingly unlikely event that you would need coverage.
Lol, classic "I got pounded in the ass so everyone should have to get pounded in the ass or they aren't as virtuous as me".
Insurance is a scam and you don't want to admit you got scammed and fucked, that's all there really is to it.
You'd have cheaper and better coverage through taxes that literally improve the lives of everyone in your country, but you're so ass pained by the idea that the money is being used to help people who have less, you would rather just guve more money to some insurance jéw's yacht fuel budget instead, all while not using it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2020-07-23 at 9:32 AM UTC in Technologist: let's have a 'constructive conversation about systemic racism'1. Blacks, specifically young black men, commit absurdly more violent crime than any demographic group. This is not just a product of a racist police force or justice (sic) system, because the numbers generally correlate to identification statements given by victims of crime.
2. As a result, businesses in black areas have a hard time growing or even staying profitable.
3. As a result of stagnating business, investors are unwilling to put money into black communities and banks are unwilling to offer loans for growth.
4. 'Disinvestment' and poor prospects for work lead to higher crime, as well as ever-decreasing standards of living and infrastructure.
5. Goto 1.
There are a lot of reasons for the higher crime rates, some self-inflicted (ie. toxic popular culture that glorifies crime and violence) and others not (ie. mandatory crack sentencing back in the 80s leaving a large chunk of the generation without fathers), and popular 'protesting' and rioting does nothing to actually address themThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-06-09 at 4:27 AM UTC in Disband the PoliceCops were only invented in 1829 and the world ran fine till then without them. Not like there was no law and order. There was just nobody who arrested you for retarded shit because they couldn't possibly jail everyone.
Now they can afford to jail everyone BECAUSE they jail everyone. The creation of police led to the public funding of law enforcement and this the militarization and industrialization.
Nobody saying to disband the cops is saying they dont want law and order. They want reform. Call them police or constables or watchmen or guards. Doesn't matter. Same shit different era. There's a better way to do this and it starts from the ground up.
Cops need to be re-trained. I've gone through more schooling than them and I can't even do shit with my degree. They're literally just thugs. Being physically capable is the only requirement. Like a bouncer or bodyguard. Srs Alabama i think is only 9 weeks of training. Fucking absurd. Most are just a couple months. And there's no certification either its literally just training like you'd get at McDonald's or any job.
Taxes should go towards stuff that actually helps people instead of creating a system that victimizes its citizens. And there should be a fucking certification process i mean my fuck. A bachelors degree of some sort at least. Psychological testing. We have teenager cops i mean what the shit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2020-03-19 at 5:34 PM UTC in At minimum, for what amount of money would you voluntarily contract the corona virus?
Originally posted by WellHung Lots of young people are getting sick and hospitalized. Its a serious thing.
Lots of people die every day. You might die in an automobile accident. So don't drive. You might crash in a plane, so don't fly. You might get hit by a truck, so don't walk. You might drown, so don't swim. You see how crazy it is? To think nobody ever dies of anything? It's not about people dying, it's about weighing the situation and looking at the actual numbers. The mass hysteria and the overkill and the knee-jerk reactions and the resulting mass shortages will kill way more people than the virus ever could. You have to weigh the gain you get by being safe against the loss you get by playing too safe. Only a dangerous idiot just goes ahead and follows orders mindlessly and questions nothing. -

Originally posted by Fox No phones are fine. Ban social media.
Back in the MySpace days things were just fine.
When the iPhone came out things were still ok, but around 2012 things went downhill when tge public was encouraged (brainwashed) into joining in on the web 2.0 fad.
In an ideal world people would own flip phones and use their desktops at home for social networking.
The Japanese used flip phones all the way up to 2014 - 2017, which I thought was primitive back then but looking back at it now they were in the right.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
