Are we sure he’s not just gaming the stock market at the behest of the other rich parasites around him?

Yes the point of the community (as it was on Reddit) was to concentrate it all in one place so it wasn’t leaking everywhere, but that was before he was POTUS I guess

But how do we know humans are acting on an actual selfless decision and not instinctual behaviour? There is some evidence that, in some situations at least, our body/instinct can act first and we just end up rationalizing that we wanted to perform those actions to ourselves, as we are performing them. But that’s a bit of a thought experiment, the truth is, it’s very hard to know. And we can show empathy in very abstracted situations as well, where instinct is probably less of a factor.

Rats, not mice, the former being quite a bit smarter :) But is there any reason to assume our human empathy comes from a different base urge than theirs? If so, why can’t both situations share the term empathy?

Like yes, but, the actual hard part of aquarium fish keeping isn’t really related to the fish themselves. It’s the water… nature has already prepared this biologically active, clean, ample supply of water for the air dropped trout. Replicating that in a tiny glass box without at least a surface understanding of the chemistry involved can be very difficult. But you should also learn how to supply an animal with the proper environment before you get one.

The candidates may represent something closer to diplomacy vs brutality, but the problem with the election this year appears to be a major lack of engagement by Democratic voters. So when you’re asking the question of what causes people who previously voted to not vote, apathy is pretty high on the list of possible explanations.

I am Canadian, I will sigh and vote for the leftist party that slightly reduces the flow rate of bullshit, because lesser evil blah blah. But it’s extremely easy to understand why that apathy permeates, and when parties allow that to fester by choosing not to address issues their voters clearly care deeply about, they are also to blame.

 

The community !fossils was created over a month ago, no activity since. The creator/mod has had no activity on their account for the last month as well. I messaged them over a week ago to request to mod the community and got no response.

This user is also parking several other empty communities which I am not personally interested in moderating, but may be nice to free them up for someone who is?

Thanks!

 

You’re not the boss of me

 

Are you prone to switching out of the calm, logical, and reserved robot mode, and becoming excited, chaotic, and silly? I definitely spend more time in the former, but value the expression of the latter highly.

In terms of MBTI, these would be expressions of the 2 most dominant cognitive functions of us INTP, introverted thinking (Ti) and extroverted intuition (Ne). It is important for me to have freedom to express the Ne side of myself, but it definitely doesn’t please everyone, and it can be difficult to find people who will have fun and play along with you to your hearts content. It is definitely possible to express Ne alone, generating ideas and possibilities for problems or projects of your own. But when used for comedy and absurdity, it really is so much fun to engage in.

How do you meet this need, if it is something you consider important? If you don’t consider it important, why not?

He is missing the nice canines and a few other teeth, but the nasal turbinates are intact :)

 

Oops

 

If anyone is watching this community, does it appear that the other two meme posts got deleted, and the two text posts remain accessible? I can no longer see them in my post history or in !intp, not sure what happened but it may be something to do with lemmy.world upgrades

 

It’s legal :)
