    The trolly problem only works because it’s headed towards a large group and you have a choice to make of allowing a thing to happen that you had no part causing in the first place. That is not the case in this situation.

    Also never called you an American or said anything about you voting. I was talking about the opinion of Trump. So don’t know where that came from, seems a bit defensive.

    That establishment Democrat on the right looks surprisingly happy

    That’s saying the right path was chosen by the dems, where the other would be the republicans. You may have meant to send a different message about aligning with the right, but that’s not how it comes across. For what it’s worth, I very much agree with you on that point.






  • So if I don’t do every single thing there’s no point at all? If I order meal prep, I’m not making my meals so might as well not go for a jog?

    With that mindset I hope you never do a single unhealthy thing because if so, it makes me wonder why you’re even taking the time to make your meals. I hope your doing cardio every day, if not, why even bother with meal prep if your heart is shit. I hope your monitoring your micros and macros, if not, you’re just wasting time making meals… This all or nothing mindset that you’re pushing is why people don’t even bother. You just told me, if I’m not making meals then why even go to the gym. You’re telling people there’s no point in working out unless they do all this extra stuff that people don’t have time for. Why? Why discourage healthy behavior?

    Also, this just sounds privileged as fuck. I’m glad you have a life where you don’t have to work that much or have that many responsibilities outside work, but all of us aren’t lucky enough to have the time to make every meal from scratch. Sometimes I don’t have a free moment to myself all day. And other days I don’t have the time to do it. And plenty of people don’t have the money to buy all fresh ingredients that spoil quickly if not used. Jesus dude, out of touch much.





  • Telling me what I do and don’t realize is insulting. It would be like me saying you don’t realize that you’re possibly hurting millions of people so you can keep a moral high ground.

    I don’t care about ideology and dogmatic shit like that. I care about facts and logic. And the hard fact is Harris or Trump will be president. That’s fact. You can rationalize all you want but you have a choice between the two, and a chance to impact the outcome but are choosing not to. This is the trolly problem where you sit back and watch the randomized switch because you’re against killing people. You could choose the rail that would cause less suffering and are choosing a third option that has no impact. I don’t get why this concept is so hard to understand.




  • You’re ignoring the reality that someone who supports genocide is going to be president. I don’t like it either but that’s the reality. Now you can look at other issues and try to help other areas, it you can vote for someone who won’t get elected and therefore won’t be able to help anyone. And voting for someone who won’t win, in the end, is the same as not voting, it has no impact on the outcome. Again, I hate our system but right now that’s the reality. I would rather help those in can than have my morals be so rigid that I help no one.
