I didn’t know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I’ll join

I live to be a good person. Figuring out what that means is a lot of reading, reasoning, and experimentation. I’m not sure you even need to justify wanting to be a good person, but maybe it is good to do good.

Live average today for sure. If I was a monarch I’d probably be responsible for the deaths of lots of people both intentionally and unintentionally. There’s a big chance I’d have to go to war too and that’s like not really my vibe.

I don’t think I said they don’t speak English. It’s usually pretty broken in my experience. They’re usually just guys who work long hours at a hard job.

I’ve actually seen deliveries from all sorts of immigrant drivers, Ukrainian stands out.

Who the fuck is supposed to drive the trucks then? I live in (upstate) New York and it seems like even up there a significant population of Mexican truck drivers.

But I am indirectly affected greatly by overfishing and directly by the overall health of the oceans. The health of the environment directly effects me. So shouldn’t I also have some say in the health of the environment?

I think maybe I’m quibbling over word nuance.

Maybe I’ve got an odd take on it, or we’re saying the same thing. Like humans as a whole should definitely try to be more empathetic in their lives. Being more empathetic is something I’m working on a lot myself right now. i don’t think empathy is about “Feeling what someone else would feel if you were in their situation”. I say that because everyones experience of life is different, some people feel pain more than others, or social pressures, or hunger, or whatever. What I mean is that we experience the world uniquely, and empathy is coming to understand the unique experience of others. As in it’s not how I would experience their situation, but how they are experiencing their situation. And a coffee maker has no experience. But maybe I’m talking about something other than empathy

Isn’t that personification not empathy? Like you’re not understanding it’s feelings, but giving it feeling. I think it can be moral to attempt to fix the coffee maker. It also sounds emotionally exhausting (for me) to care that much about something that has no agency of it’s own.

Some friendly pushback to help me understand, overfishing doesn’t directly effect me, I don’t eat fish, I don’t live near the ocean. But I’d say it has lots of indirect effects on me. Incentive structures still promote overfishing. What do? What does force mean? Is changing the incentive structure force? Is fines for overfishing, or losing your commercial fishing license force?

(P.S. is know nothing about fishing, this is just to help frame my questions)

To me empathy is a social connection where feeling aren’t just being heard, but understood. I’m finding it difficult to understand how that could apply to an object, so what’s your definition of empathy?

Don’t just tease me like this, what’s the objective standard? And like I’m totally following along, but i still want to know what the disagreements are.

I just like ethics and want to hear what you think.

That’s astro boy isn’t it?

I feel like creator content isn’t about quality, but form. People watch the same TV shows from decades ago because they are familiar. Creator content is kinda like that, it’s cozy. It’s something you can just put on and zone out to. It’s interesting and entertaining, but it’s not very intense. Its usually people sharing their passions, so it feels very human and relatable too.

But also there’s probably something to be said about how much it cost to get started on YouTube vs how much it cost to produce a TV show or movie.

What is the stance of the department of agriculture on the bird flu?

I don’t really have a problem with this. I paid for a lifetime quite a long time ago. Right now I only use Plex for plexamp and everything else is on jellyfin.

Is finamp at a point that it can replace plexamp yet?
