Two chicks at the same time.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t have the energy for a deep free will conversation at the moment. Normally I’d love to, but today has been a tough one.

My worldview depends on us having free will and that we are responsible for our conscious actions, so I don’t think there’d be much of a point in engaging in a debate with you, but thank you for the civil response anyway.

You believe absolutely no one deserves to suffer? Not even those who have intentionally caused immense suffering to others?

I read Meditations and other Stoic texts pretty regularly. They have guided many of my beliefs.

All of this will pass. You won’t necessarily be able to control any of the variables outside of your own life, but living a virtuous life isn’t about becoming the leader of a country or amassing gigantic wealth. It’s about doing the right thing, for yourself and others, when it’s time to make decisions. I take solace in that. I may not always make the perfectly right decision, but as long as I’m generally guided by what’s right, especially when it’s a difficult path to take, I will have lived a good life.

I rotate through a bunch of them. Currently Bosch. Before that was Star Trek: DS9.

I believe you.

Yes, I have. The others in my party who saw it happen just laughed about it.

They’re going to milk it until it’s dry.

I can see how that’d be an obstacle. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah, I have keywords for the usual suspects as well, but that requires them to be mentioned by name in the title, and it doesn’t cover US politics not involving those.

I wish people would limit US politics to comms designated for that, rather than forcing the rest of us to wade through that filth looking for world news. It’s already all over every other news source.

Would it be possible to get a separate option for hiding posts but not comments?
