Hello there. If you’d like to go on a wild goose chase, I can tell you that some years back on the PPSSPP forum there was a thread asking about this sort of thing. If you can find it and if it received an answer, then you might be able to solve this conundrum.

Have fun!

Everyone and everything can be corrupted. Your train of thought that the “wrong” type of people gravitate towards these posts is taking a biased approach. It’s closer to reality to say that the vested interest in corrupting these positions will always be a strong contestant to the rule of fair and unbiased law.

No legal system can unflinchingly endure the internal and external manipulations seeking to exploit it because regardless of how much we intend its fairness, we ourselves are unfair and malleable - intentionally or not.

It is and it applies at every level of social interactions. People will compromise their smaller, less important values as long as the main, currently most important facet remains the focus.

A clear example of this is the crazy/hot index. Both men and women ignore the failings of their chosen companion as long as the value of sex is greater than the suffering of all else combined.

Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.

Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?

And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.

Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:

Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.

Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.

He runs a brothel on Linux.

I wonder if the comment you’re replying to applies to the people who downvoted yours.

Or it’s only selective to the people they don’t know yet decided to hate. Sad really.

Yes. Not me, but yes.

That’s a 100% surefire way for me to have my phone snatched, no dice.

Nah, that’s just France.

Technically, you can drive full circle on the planet, but it involves riding ships in some places as they haven’t felt the need to build a bridge or tunnel.

Difference is between buying a brand for style and buying it for quality.

Some companies have quietly admitted that the only difference between their stuff and cheap knockoffs is the brand name and it’s fine for them because their customers don’t care.

Because phonetically, it’s “loos” vs “looz”. And people don’t care enough to know or apply the difference.

I’m not sure about everyone else, but in my case you assume correctly. The only reason I’d want a monster truck is to act like an overgrown child who wants to show off his big vroom vroom. Also, with a mandatory funny honk.

There are tiny little creatures living on your face that poop on it.

Not exactly the convenience sought, but in Settings there should be Blocks page where one can block users, communities and instances. Only it has to be manually typed and then selected. These blocks should also be transferred if one changes instances.

The title is clickbait, a regular thing for “magazines”, while the article itself clarifies things.

You aren’t wrong. It is in poor taste. More so considering the article says the comment was made by “fans” who felt disappointed her body shape didn’t fit their imagination.

Everything has pros and cons.

Most people tend to see only the pros of the things that favour them and downplay the cons that affect others. Which is why we come to hate each other so often.

For example, life and death are a cycle. Can’t have one without the other. People may have different goalposts on what deaths they think they’re willing to cause in order to survive, but whether it’s animals, plants or even microbial organisms, some living beings have to die in order for others to live. (But it’s fine because there’s so many of them and they can’t think or feel pain, probably. Eh, who cares anyway, gotta eat something!)

Due to the limitations of operating at a loss, a demerit is unavoidable. The problem is having to constantly fine tune the balance in order to do the least harm. And yet even that is a self-appointed right and responsibility in lack of anything else.

When you accidentally hit your elbow in its sweet spot.

Whenever I see a “Fuck Cars” community post, I can’t help but remember that dragons fucking cars is/was a thing, that there is a parody country song about a dude loving his truck intimately and that dudes have been caught sticking their dingdongs in car exhaust pipes.
