You know, if you just kill everyone, there will be nobody left to accuse you of supporting atrocities.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Humanity is going to humanity.

What you propose is the only solution.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The final one, even.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Death solves all problems...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Upvote for death

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except for death...

Unless you're Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Judge death does.

The crime is life the sentence is death.

Dark Urge up in this bitch.

I literally thought of this yesterday.

"Hold up. Why have I been put in this situation? Where's those responsible? Has anyone gone after the bridge guy, the brakes guy? Is anyone trying to get the sick fucks tying people down on tracks? What's being put in place to prevent this? Fences?Cameras? E-brakes? Who has liability and are they getting investigated?"

"Just Shutup and choose."

"I guess B is most logical."

"Oooh, you're a sick murderer and just want people dead!"

It's hard to participate when most people only have an A/B, us/them, left/right, right/wrong mentality view on things when it's obviously more complex when viewed from a few steps back. It's being stuck in either yard or on the fence, but if you climb a tree you'll realise there's many more yards and fences to the street to consider.

How dare you kill that person, that makes you a murderer!!!!1!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's trolley problems all the way down.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

To save billions

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Enough with that! You can't question the trolley situation, it's been like this for generations. Get on board. We have flags!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Your last paragraph is so good - thanks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I rather think you're missing the point.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well, that doesn't mean I can't share something I thought of the other day before seeing this reminder :)

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very appropriate metaphors — Hamas tying people to the tracks is really surprisingly on the nose.

[–] MyFeetOwnMySoul 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's seems to me that Hamas is to Israel as the Taliban were to the United States (and co-conspirators)

Afghan mujahideen

Your first problem is giving a shit what anyone else thinks.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

According to this I can go naked in the streets

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Second problem: too many people give a shot about what you do or look like

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Well, what will you do if you had one shot, one opportunity?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In principle, in a free country, you should be able to. But you can't, so it's not actually free.

[–] Rodeo 2 points 1 year ago

How far does that freedom to do what you please extend? Am I not actually free because I can't beat up people I disagree with? Personally I feel the freedom to disagree without the threat of violence is more important.

There is freedom to, and there is freedom from. Don't undervalue freedom from.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

You've confused freedom with anarchy. By your logic you should be able to murder anyone you please or else it's not a free country.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

I don't give a shit about your opinion!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good for you. I'm happy for you. That's a good way to live.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

What about two shits?

They're could be a manure opportunity in here

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no! I knew this would be controversial.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best part is you can edit the title and none would be the wiser

I'm still getting used to being able to edit post titles after years of being unable to

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Did you find all the different directors cuts of Naughty Furry Adventures you were looking for?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I wish Lemmy kept records of all edits.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's no dilemma. If the goal is to express disapproval to people, then do what people think is disapproval... Which is doing nothing covered by some acting to appear as trying to do something

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah! In the form of acting like we care while doing nothing, like mentioned in the prior comment.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Do you even know what the rest of the people on the tracks will do if you stop the trolley? You will be responsible for what happens to the trolley operators and passengers.

[–] ininewcrow 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The lever has two settings .... FAST .... or .... FASTER

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

In fact is FAST-ER so it just takes you to the emergency room at the end of being mangled by a train

How does it take you there? Well, where do you think the train was going in the first place

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hypocrites! The ones in the trolley are the one in motion
