  • Wouldn't that help to save the dying planet much faster than your idea of having humans go extinct in the next generation? Shouldn't the highest good be more suffering for humans (evil) and less for animals, only a few of which only adopt, typically in rare circumstances?

  • It's No Stupid Questions, not No Incredibly Rude Questions.

  • I'm surprised she didn't also mention that Israel has space lasers.

  • Maybe give some money to the poor before buying a second TV. Otherwise, a Sherpa might poison you for your hubris.

  • I assume you use the Red Room for other things.

  • And yet, unsurprisingly, other commenters here are lapping it up and using it as yet another reason to hate the Democrats.

    Real progressive thought leaders, this lot.

  • Depends how long you can hold your breath.

  • Never underestimate the left's ability to bitch about Democrats no matter what is happening. Every fucking article!

  • From the comments I've read, people seem concerned with how unimportant labels are, amd that people should be free to label themselves.

    The problem here is not what OP wants to call herself or whether there are black and white labels that apply to her situation. The problem is that there are communities based around such labels where people are expected to conform to what the community considers the label to mean. This causes issues because the nature of the community is to include some people and exclude others.

    Where "people are fluid" and "labels are arbitrary" causes conflicts is exactly in these kinds of situations where people must fall inside a category in order to participate. The debate about transgender athletes is only a concern because there are sporting events limited to women only. Now you need to decide who is a woman and who is not. TERFs object to people who they categorize as men trying to co-opt the feminist movement.

    Take away the requirement to meet others' definition of who can participate in the group, and you can now accept that people are not always easy to categorize by rigid labels.

  • The version of this crossposted to news@lemmy.world is a shitshow of ridiculous conspiracy theories.

    I haven't really kept up with the stories about the Kirk killer, but I remember all the initial evidence suggested he had moved to the left and opposed Kirk's rightwing stances. Yet many here were convinced that he was a rightwinger himself and that all the statements from the police, roommate, and family couldn't be trusted. What are the current, rational views about the killer's motives?

  • Are fertility rates really a problem caused by microplastics? There are people who want to have kids who can't, but the ones who are young are a small percentage of people.

    The two things with the most overwhelming influence on fertility rates is the willingness of people to have children and their access to birth control.

  • There are more ways to harm someone's life than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

  • Properties in landslides go for almost nothing.

  • You are inconveniently glossing over the fact that you are responding to a 5 month old comment. No one else is ever going to read this.

  • Given OP's example, this comment stunned me. Then I realized (or hoped) you were "stunned" by the implications of their difficult time and not because they sounded profoundly ignorant.

  • Sounds like imposter syndrome. I've been surprised by some compliments that seem genuine. Probably we're more helpful than we realize.

  • This article is from October 2025.

  • I put Common Dreams in the same category as WSWS and Jacobin. Only one of those is officially aligned with a political party, as far as I can tell, but they all write the same things.

  • That post is 5 months old and was about a previous No Kings protest. Which the NYT did not hide.
