  • This might be a hard pill, but… A lot of selfish people like to be selfish, selfishly. The point of a community is doing a bit more work personally or sometimes making a light sacrifice so that others do better as well.

    You should actually slow down and re-read your statement, maybe you don’t know how you sound? Feels like you have kind of a , “sure, I could help out homeless people with some spare change, but where is my personal benefit in that? Now, im always very happy to find the person that I give $.50 in change to and they give me a dollar back to defy the stereotype, but those people are few and far between IME.”

    Dude, give your AI girlfriend some crypto so you can ask her a question, and then ask her to define “empathy” for you.

    I’m sorry if any of that is a hard pill to swallow.




  • I appreciate the suggestion, I’ll look into it. That said, im a firm believer in the schools of thought around calculated risk. Letting them fall sure, but into a somewhat safe or even lightly padded area - enough to feel the shock and some light pain that is informative in teaching them to be more careful and internally weigh potential risk against their future actions, but also avoiding said threat to life and limb.

    Personally, I’m of the mind that a lot of the “just let them fall” theory is more to soothe the guilt of the parents and many of those “walk it off” kids had multiple TBIs and grew up to be one eyed, nine toed, frontal lobe damaged trump voters.



  • My wife, thinking I’m too careful with our child.

    I think I’m (objectively) fairly balanced, maybe leaning towards careful, sure. But really I just want the baby to grow to the point of being able to walk without involuntary nose dives with both eyeballs still intact.

    Yes, I think it’s too much for the baby to be allowed to run around with that actual kitchen tool in hand. Yes I know the baby loves it, but it’s essentially a metal rod. Constantly derails an otherwise good day to speak up, but here to on the baby’s behalf.





  • Interesting. Not unbelievable, but I hadn’t heard specifically. Also, always assumed the point was that it would never have a set or core membership? “We are anonymous” means that you, me, grandpa, we’re all also anonymous, if we have the skillset and want to take up the mantle.

    So in that way, anonymous could never be contained/captured in the way you mentioned. Again, that was just more my assumption/understanding. “I am Sparticus”, V for Vendetta, etc…






  • Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

    “In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman’s mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in “conspiratorial thinking”, “megalomania”, rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan.”

    Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children’s programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he’s erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.
