Um, question…

Maybe, but not much of one. Honestly anyone supporting or protecting them is almost as bad as being them. Some technical terms would be sheltering, aiding, and abetting.

Most Final Fantasy games and JRPGs in general.

Nobody has a purpose in life. Belief that life has a purpose is a creationist delusion created to try and comprehend and apply order to what is intrinsically chaotic and random, and to fight the anxiety that their fears induce.

Your options are to choose one of the following:

1. Acceptance. You can accept that life is meaningless and that it’s okay. This one’s my preference.
2. Denial. You can deny life’s meaninglessness and seek to find or create a purpose for yourself. This can range from something as simple as a hobby to as life changing as having a family or advocating for a cause.
3. Embrasure. Revel in the chaos and express yourself through it, doing whatever you want without thought it care. This is best exemplified by the fictional character of the Joker.
4. Oppression. Take up religion to crush understanding of reality and replace it with a delusion of supernaturally defined purpose. This is probably the most commonly used option, frequently forced upon people during childhood.
5. Opposition. Attempt to fight the reality or mask the effects of meaninglessness through other means, such as direct therapy, chemical dependency (not recommended), talking with friends/family, or through other methods not previously mentioned.

Understanding one’s place in the universe (insignificant, irrelevant, and temporary speck) is important to having an accurate impression of ones existence. Whether one can accept that and what one do with that understanding is unique to the individual.

I hope that helps - good luck.

The true War on Christmas is fight in solidarity with Halloween and Thanksgiving in an effort to push Christmas back over the November/December border. It’s a just and noble war, one which I both advocate and fight in.

Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”

He’s too afraid to ask her. I would be too.

How else are you supposed to get your daily dose of Vitamin P?

This, but since these were expensive, lots of people bought cheaper, off-brand ones book-by-book at grocery stores over a period of 30+ weeks. We had a set growing up that my mother would pick up at whatever store we were going to, IDK, I was little.

The hero America needs right now.

It would be a shame if the person who sold out were publicly identified. Hopefully that will never ever happen.

Correction: random person who vaguely resembles images of a person in a similar jacket in unrelated images of alleged shooter selected as a sacrificial lamb by the incarceration industrial complex out of fear of the populace.

FTFY

There’s too much to get into but the short version is we literally aren’t given a choice. People here idiotically vote against their own self interests and nothing anyone has tried to fix the problem has worked.

Thank you. This is directly relevant to me. And yeah, I’m an American.

Jury nullification should not be a banned topic. It’s perfectly legal and is the only direct way citizens can object to interpretations of the law. The very fact that the courts and government don’t want people to know of it is a testament to its effectiveness in cases where the public will opposes the government in matters of law. Particularly when public opinion differs drastically from a strict interpretation of the law, but most especially when citizens find a law, its often limited proponents, or its execution to be objectionable, unconscionable, cruel, or unwilling to take circumstances into consideration. It’s crucial for us to all understand our limited power over the government, especially when it’s acting in an oppressive manner, violating human rights, ignoring the principle of justice in favor of a literal interpretation, or is otherwise objectionable by the majority of citizens as opposed to the minority of lawmakers.

This isn’t “news.” We all knew this already.

Seeing as how I’d have list the last things keeping me from killing myself, I wouldn’t.

Sucks to be Russian. Still. Again.

Motherfucker of you’re gonna charge me $3,000 per day, I’m keeping the bed.

That was damn fast, I didn’t think they’d hit Damascus this week.
