Honest Optimism

Amazing that we can know each other by random words without context. bisexual, atheist, vegan, scientist, libertarian, stoner. All those labels, toxic as they have potential to be, say so many things about me.

Oh, wow!

This is the best science joke forever.

Discovering and getting into astrology and tarot/oracle cards has been one of the best things that's happened to me 🌌🔮

[dylanrdavidson]

I dipped my toe into the water of scholarly research on the subject recently. You might want to do the same. Here are some helpful links.

You can be pro-life and still be in favor of the death penalty.

[dylanrdavidson]

Not if you have enough critical thinking skills to genuinely examine your moral premises.

[proudcoloradoconservative]

I value innocent human lives. If someone does something so horrible that they get the death penalty (usually after they kill someone) I think that is justified. Do you not think it is morally right that someone should lose their right to live if they have murdered someone?

[dylanrdavidson]

You gotta examine the premise. What about a life is valuable? How does that change after they commit an atrocity? Can a murderer never be redeemed?

Finally shaping up!!

I've been trying this ketosis thing for a while now. It was working, but I hit a wall. Then I decided to add intermittent fasting. I'm basically only eating every 24 hours and no more than 10 carbs a meal, and it's working like MAGIC!! I'm down 50 pounds in less than 2 months!!! ROCKIN BODY HERE I COME!!

[moonthymes]

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

[the-prolefeed]

Why do you think they deserve it

[killin-the-machine]

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

[the-prolefeed]

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

[teaboot]

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Sometimes I wish there were a Hell if only for the visuals of a bunch of rich shit heads wandering around on fire asking “Where’s my money?!”

Did nobody watch Spiderman? "With great power, comes great responsibility." Its your moral obligation to help others if you have the power to do so.

WE LITERALLY NEED GUN CONTROL NOW LIKE WHAT THE FUCK GOVERNMENT WHAT THE FUCK PLEASE

[pickupyourgun]

If you’re interested in saving lives let’s talk about abortion.

[dylanrdavidson]

You're a naive damn fool if you really think outlawing guns will fix this problem. The sickness of our society runs so much deeper than that.
