Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • “Adult stuff” and “you’ll understand when you’re older” for me were mostly blank stand-ins for “this is how it is”. Mostly connected to questions too tiresome to be answered properly at the time, questions on the nature of culture etc.

    Thankfully, morality questions never got such answers when I was raised xD

    But when an LLM adds more to the conversation than the average poster

    You forgot key ingredient and what sparked the comment chain - under slop post. Post something normal and folk may respond differently. Post slop, get hit with anti-slop sticker as caution for others and ignored.

    The problem with “just cause” is that it’s flexible af. What stop vigilante from moving the goalpost into infinity and beyound? When does “just” degrade from some grand perception based on societal needs into subjective, personal reasons?

    Best case scenario, surrender yourself to community after the deed. Thus, the new murderer got instantly taken down without creating another. But that requires sacrifice/martyrdom.

    Morality foundation: You’ve become a murderer just like him, no matter the intentios.

    Morality reality: If you believe these people he murdered should not be dead, and that all his killings are unjust, removing him at worst replaces one mass murderer with just murderer. Even more, with a vigilante. Now, this of course is not really good, but the net outcome is good.


  • Not who you responded to but had similiar moments. Path of least resistance. Some tasks lock me to all hell, so if these are put before with some consequence if I fail, rather than doing them, I start working on mitigatign the incoming consequence.

    From adult life: Washing dishes is hard for me. Not washing dishes causes dirty, rotting sink. So I limited myself to one plate, one bowl etc. in an effort of limiting consequences. If I don’t manage to wash the dishes, worst case scenario I have very limited amount of stuff rotting, which is also easier to clean up when I manage to get to it.

    Can see it in op example: Doing homework is almost impossible, leaving out friends sucks, limit friends to lessen the impact of not doing homework.

    Nevermind that children would have access to a vending machine.

    Just like they have access to scissors. Yet we teach children what danger they carry and expect them - literal humans with stunted ability to foresee consequences - to behave safely with them. Which they do with some edge cases.

    Main difference between scissors and alcohol is we restrict people with said stunted ability to foresee from accessimg it, because it’s use is nuanced and requires one to be fully responsible for themself. And we assume that an adult person is responsible for themself. Otherwise we ahould not sell knives, cars, allow hiking, bar windows by default…

    Stop offloading thinking to others and claim consequences of your own actions.



  • I am too used to people confusing discussing what is presented with looking for any way to invalidate what was written. Even the biggest, nastiest troll can have a point, and not being able to refute it is not a reason to try and instead go the way of “yeah, you are nasty in other posts so you must be trolling” or similiar.

    But yeah, I admit, didn’t think about entering profile just to block someone.
