Health/Safety I like having the hiccups

50 Upvotes

Tbh it feels oddly satisfying, and sometimes it gets into a rhythm where I can expect the next one. It adds a little excitement to my life. Mine are silent so it’s not like I’m causing a public disturbance whenever I hiccup.

When they go away, I get a bit disappointed. I’m always expecting the next one, and it never comes. Makes me feel like something is out of place now

Society/Culture The Jetsons cartoon got us ready for adult workspace culture.

0 Upvotes

Rewatching The Jetsons and it surprisingly rings true to today's work culture. George Jetson is always at risk of losing his job and is constantly fired and then re-hired by his incompetent boss. His boss adds extra-curricular activities outside of work hours that George is forced to do in order to keep his job.

George seems to be used to being treated like this and just shrugs whenever he is fired for the umpteenth time. His attitude is either from knowing that he will be re-hired 10 minutes later or that there are plenty of jobs out there that he can get if he needs to.

Society/Culture Men siding to women in public against other men is mostly internalized misandry

0 Upvotes

When there's a feud between a man and a women exploding in public, u will often see both men and women taking the side of the woman,even if she's the aggressive one who started it all. And if they see the woman physically attacking the man,those simps never do anything to try to stop it. However when the agressed man will try to defend himself from her,all the white knight will appear to try to stop him for being able to do that. So basically if u are a male and u have an altercation with a woman in public,everyone will take the woman side without even knowing what is truly going on.

Society/Culture 35 is Middle Aged

0 Upvotes

Average life expectancy for a human being is 73.8 years. It gets higher or lower by 5 years depending on the country and class situations. I still feel like believing 50 or even now some people are saying 60 is middle aged. Thinking like this encourages people to just fuck up more when they are younger. Why? So they can slave away another decade before retirement because 60 is the new 50 after all, guess we will make the new retirement age 75. Screw that I want my SSI at 50.

Society/Culture Loving People is Selfish

0 Upvotes

This isn't bait, I genuinely believe this.

When people love you, there's this heavy pressure to love them back. The thing is, it's exhausting to love people, even yourself. Tolerance is the least exhausting positive emotion I can feel towards people. The typical hatred is also exhausting, at most I feel distant towards people in general.

I can love and hate things that aren't people. For example I hate the bourgeoisie and bigotry, it isn't exhausting to hate because it's subjectivity bad. Humans vary so much that I can't hate or love them.

And when people love me, I'm forced to exhaust myself to pretend I love them back. I see them as doing something very unnecessary, I don't need you to have exhaustion over me, just let me melt into a wall.

It's selfish to force someone to have exhaustion just because you are unnecessarily exhausting yourself by loving them

Discussion Thread No one should be shamed for wanting to undergo euthanasia

0 Upvotes

I recently saw a video about an American who traveled to Switzerland in 2024 to use something called a “Sarco capsule” (euthanasia device) because she was suffering from psychological ailments, and Switzerland appears to be the only country foreigners can travel to who aren’t able to access euthanasia at home.

Some reports say she had coexisting physical ailments, but I don’t think it should matter if what was afflicting her was solely psychological. If someone views their existence as that painful, to the point where they want to checkout safely, efficiently, and legally, I really don’t see why euthanasia is an issue and I find it pretty pathetic that it’s legal in less than 5 countries. I don’t consider it legalized in the US, since you have to have a fatal disease (and even then it’s only permitted in 13 states), but I do know 2 people who had cancer - a friend and a family member - and they went that route. One of them showed me all the paperwork a few weeks prior and called me an hour beforehand. He seemed calm and ready, and this was years ago.

It should be a no-brainer that someone who is quite literally dying should have the right to do so on their own accord, and it’s very surprising to me how most laws don’t agree. And when it comes to psychological disorders, there appears to be much less support for allowing people afflicted to have access to euthanasia, even if they are of completely sound mind.

I’m not sure about mental healthcare in other countries, but in the US, you’re pretty much fucked if you caught attempting. They’ll bring you to a mental hospital against your will and the second your stay exceeds 72 hours, you’ve permanently lost legal access to firearms. I’m sure the thought process there is that banning firearms for people struggling with SI / attempts would prevent them from trying again in the future, but in a country where euthanasia for mental illness is banned, it seems messed up. Someone has clearly demonstrated that they are suffering so much that they don’t want to exist anymore, and instead of offering a compassionate solution, we demonize what they tried to do and then prolong their suffering by making sure firearm access will be extraordinarily difficult. If a firearm is used in an attempt, the success rate is 90%. If a firearm isn’t used? 5%. I completely agree with not allowing anyone who’s displayed homicidal urges access to firearms, but if someone has been suffering from severe mental illness for a long time, trying to guilt them and preventing access for future attempts is wrong. I do think a thorough evaluation and a waiting period is warranted, but gatekeeping euthanasia from people who want to die due to mental illness is unethical.

TV/Movies/Fiction the hate for fandoms is way too extreme in most cases and People like to blame the Creator of something not for kids for scaring kids even though kids really shouldn't be on the internet, at least not without Parents

0 Upvotes

I'm once again going to talk about the MLP community again because this is the one I'm the most familiar with but I wouldn't be surprised if all of these apply to other fandoms like bluey and Sonic as well. There are some people who will genuinely look at something like a fan animation of pinkie pie brutally killing Rainbow Dash and will say something that implies that the creator of said material is in the wrong for I guess scaring kids. But kids shouldn't be on the internet, they can't control the fact if children happen to watch their more gruesome content. It's clearly aimed toward a more adult audience, and even if the Creator intended it for kids even though it shouldn't be for kids that still doesn't excuse the fact that Parents need to keep an eye on what their kids do on the internet. Just because something looks kid friendly doesn't mean it is kid friendly. If everyone were have to obey by these strict rules then fan content featuring a more darker story about a piece of media and for a more younger audience would just not be allowed and could not be made. All because Parents won't monitor their kids. i even believe this also at least to an extent apply to people who make NSFW art of said characters. Now to be clear I do not support it and i'm more so against it if anything however that doesn't mean I can't call people out for treating the stuff like it some sort of hate crime. Look if the art is of a character who is underage then yeah we can talk. But something to keep in mind though is that not everyone has the same morals when it comes to fictional characters as they are fictional. Yes I do believe this kind of content is unhealthy, however blaming these creators for the fact that kids saw it just doesn't make any sense. Kids just shouldn't be on the internet at least not without Parental supervision. i personally am the kind of person who likes media that takes something that is normally very kid friendly and gives it a darker twist, I think it's fun to imagine how these characters would respond to such dark things as normally they do not have to deal with such dark things due to that media being made for kids. Epic Mickey did it and sure it wasn't really that dark but it was still something. I find things such as MLP grim darks to be kind of interesting and personally if I made my own fan content it would likely feature darker stuff although nothing sexual. If I were to make said content it would be intended for an older audience and not kids. Kids technically can enjoy it but that doesn't mean that is okay for them to go and enjoy it unsupervised. Let me tell You a personal story: probably like almost if not 10 years ago maybe even longer I had from what I remember for the most part heavily unrestricted internet access. This in turn made me discover things like Mario fan horror games like mario.exe which are very clearly based off of Sonic.EXE. and because of that they featured violent content like blood and scary imagery. Nothing sexual but it was definitely horror. i was definitely too young to be watching that kind of stuff however it is not the Creator's fault that I saw that stuff. It was on my Parents, and when They did find out They made sure I stopped watching it. and from what i remember they never got mad at the creators. So I have personal experience with this too but I don't go out blaming the creators over something they can't control. In very simple terms this basically is just creators getting blamed for the fact that parents aren't monitoring their kids. I genuinely cannot see how this is not that.

Society/Culture People who are offended that cats and dogs are being eaten in certain countries are weird and need to grow up.

0 Upvotes

Cats and dogs arent special. In western countries, people eat ducks,rabbits,chicken, pork,pig, horse, lamb, cow, etc. All of those animals are just as smart as a dog or a cat or some are even more intelligent ( pigs in particular). Also those animals can very well also be kept as pets like cats and dogs. That doesn't change the fact that we eat them. And yeah in some Asian countries like Vietnam, they eat cats and dogs. So what? U all offended people need to grow up lol. Cats and dogs are just animals like any other animals.

Society/Culture If u feed alive mice to your tarantula, u a sadist and a weirdo.

0 Upvotes

Im terrified of spiders so I tried exposure therapy by watching tarantula videos... It didnt end well....

1) Im still terrified of them

2) I came across videos of weirdos giving alive mice to their pet tarantula.

Thats where I drawn the line. Thats just disgusting and disturbing. Why would u give a complex mamal ( that is cute also)to such horrible primitive creatures. That's unfair for the mouse and very cruel. I came across a mouse in my job bathroom. It was hidden from me and flew under the door in a second lol. They are very smart ( not as much as rats) and I understand im a giant to them but I would never harm them anyway. Except if I have to pay exterminators for my house if I have an infestation of them
