I don't know if 'sleepwalking' is the right word. Is there a condition where one side of the brain is a asleep while the other is screaming for it to wake the hell up?

I'm hoping it'll be more like craft beer and become it's own market that overlaps with more mainstream options but still has a solid base of users\customers that keep it separate.

I enjoy reading your interpretation of this conversation.

I think you should just stick to the idea that self-righteousness means 'telling people what to do'. That seems to be as far as you can go with this. Do another 'cognitive dissonance test' on me- that was funny.

I know you won't understand any of this but I'm bored.

You actually can tell people not to celebrate death, for instance if it's your family member- you're within your rights to be upset because you have a relationship with that person. So if you think Pat Robinson was a good dude, it's actually not as self-righteous to say "Stop that, he was a good guy!". That would be silly for other reasons though.

But if you don't have a dog in the fight, it's pretty self-righteous and morally superior to just rant that strangers can't be glad someone that caused them pain is dead. Not everyone shares the vacuous sentiment that the dead should be uncritically revered and expecting them to is as silly as them expecting you to celebrate with them, but I haven't seen anyone asking for that.

As far as telling people not to murder... yeah- actions and words are inherently distinct. Hilariously weak point but I do like the energy.

If binary thinking is all you're capable of I'd say you should err on the side of caution and just never tell anyone what to do. It's more complex than that but clearly this is your limit.

So you think the act of murder is comparable to how one speaks of a dead person?

lol- how is that related to this conversation?

I know this won't happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.

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

The depth of corruption required to allow this to happen is just painful. The chain of people who either took part or look the other way must stretch across the entire country. Sadly this just isn't as shocking as it should be. We're just not doing anything to oppose the overwhelming greed that feeds on human desperation, if anything we root for it.

The demonstration of self-righteousness was preaching to strangers about how they should feel about a dead person. If you genuinely don't understand how that is self-righteous, well... that makes this even more fun somehow.

I don't need to demonstrate it, you already did.
