  • It’s natural because we would all die if it weren’t, but you’re avoiding my main argument. I said that the sympathy comes from “this person cannot live a dignified life because of situation” and the situation being bringing another person into the world.

    Your Ferrari analogy fails because in that case you want “luxury” but in the child case they already have a child but you can’t afford to live, instead of being able to live but not having a luxury they want. I would feel sympathy for someone who, say, bought a luxury then lost their job, and are now having a really hard time because they no longer have any savings.

    Also, don’t you think it’s a bit sad that having children, something people have famously done since forever, is now something you can be priced out of? (Also where I live the government does subsidize weight loss, if it’s bad enough to really impact your life)

    edit: lmao dude stopped responding the second someone made an argument he couldn’t just wave away with the same premade argument





  • The way I see it is if you started using lemmy you’re probably either a(n)

    • Open source purist: thus, extremely negative about anything proprietary.
    • Extremely political (in large part ChapoTrapHouse refugees), so extremely negative about anything seen as capitalist or reactionary.
    • Terminally online: just generally either mentally ill (cause or consequence) or brainrotted, which makes you more negative naturally.

    I think this explains most of the negativity I’ve seen.
