Ha, fair enough. TY.
My shopping list to date.
If anyone out there has recommendations for a Lemmy app for Android, I'm all all ears.
Shoot, I like Boost, esp the user tags as a free feature. Upon further study, it looks like Boost might be inactive so time to search around again. TY.
And I think you're wrong, lol. Point and match.
Edit: your edit to earlier comment, now you acknowledge different philosophies on morality. You're too much, man. Primo trolling 😂🍻
My friend, I am really trying not to be condescending but you seem to be struggling to comprehend what I am saying. Your own definition supports me.
"What people think is good and bad" is exactly my point. What I think as an ex-christian in Eastern United States, born in the decade in which I was born, experiencing all I have experienced, all influences what I believe to be right or wrong in OPs scenario.
A person on the other side of the world from a different culture, different religion, a different demographic, different political experiences, may have an entirely different view on right or wrong here.
Different people think different things and philosophers have debated what this means about morality since before Plato in 400 BCE.
Agreed, I would personally have more issues with the situation if there are kids involved. An amicable divorce and full engagement from both parents in a shared parenting plan would be way better for the kids than staying together nominally and having outside relationships, IMO.
To the "is it moral" question, I would start edging to "no" if I thought the kids were being harmed in any way.
Counterpoint: see similar IRL fuckwits in Texas progressing their similarly stupid agenda. Do not discount the fuckwits simply because they seem small in number and influence today.
My friend, you don't know what you don't know.
Websearch "is morality a human construct" and have your awareness opened to literally thousands of years of philosophical discourse.
Experience life outside your bubble and learn that what is "right" in one community is taboo in another.
Right and wrong against what framework? I gave an example of one community that would think this is wrong while another doesn't.
And I said established principles, not rules, just in case you mistook that I was talking about legality.
I don't know who OP is, so if they're, idk, a conservative Muslim in Pakistan, I would not have the appropriate context to say what is moral or not in their community. I can only say what would be considered immoral within my own and why.
If you want to jump all the way down the rabbit hole into Plato, Kant, and Nietzsche, I'll defer as those arguments tend to deteriorate quickly on the internet and it's not what OP is looking for.
Morality is about your community's established principles.
I grew up in a Christian community where it absolutely would be considered immoral. I am no longer Christian, and am in a community that is tolerable of far more types of relationships. This situation would probably still quirk some eyebrows, but generally if everyone involved (husband, wife, you in this case) are all informed and consent to the situation, then it wouldn't be considered immoral.
Ha, I like your optimism that anti-abortion/anti-womens bodily autonomy types wouldn't immediately try to start controlling the unfertile eggs. Plenty of them think contraceptives are evil after all, which is equivalent to discarding infertile eggs before they get fertilized.
We would see efforts to track women's egg laying cycles and criminalize discarding them within the period they can still be fertilized. (See IRL Indiana attempting to make individual abortion reports public instead of as anonymized, aggregate data for studies).
My initial thought was "would chemists theoretically be less into labor protections than plumbers"?
I guess that puts me in a third bucket.
About a week. There was a very early season snowstorm. Deciduous trees still had leaves and caught a lot of snow. The weight broke limbs which took down power lines everywhere. In older neighborhoods with above ground lines and mature oak trees, nearly every line and every house had to have crews working them.
