I just don’t think that’s something that’s reasonable to by default expect people to be lying about, even if they are known not to be credible, and it definitely isn’t a detail that’s ever appropriate to omit entirely from coverage of someones death. If that’s the attitude towards it then getting away with “suiciding” someone in terms of public opinion has a pretty low barrier for success.
I’m arguing that saying you won’t kill yourself and are likely to be assassinated is not a foolproof method, not defending Mcafee
directly and firmly state that, for the record, you are not suicidal and that if you should die, it was absolutely not suicide.
He did exactly what was suggested here. It was ignored and dismissed in all mainstream coverage of his death, and you are also dismissing it as a lie, with no specific evidence other than his apparently otherwise questionable character. It’s naive to think that such a narrative wouldn’t also be applied to anyone else trying to defend themselves in this way, of course it would be.
Does it really matter that much? I figure either way they’re going to get you if they want and the media will treat it like a suicide regardless of how much you publicly telegraph what’s going to happen ahead of time.
Yeah I haven’t owned a television in years
I’m all for trying to make it out, but for most people day trading in particular is a terrible idea and 90%+ lose money. I think most people would be better advised to just dump money into an index fund or other longer term investment and not think about it too much, at least that way you are betting on the market as a whole rather than your personal trading skills vs pros, which isn’t likely to work out.
Empathy seems like it would be an easier thing to have than an understanding of the concept of self interest and thinking through how to achieve it logically
honoring the wishes of what is currently my last surviving relative (who I still remain in contact with and love dearly). Not to mention whatever might be a part of any legal stuff pertaining to her will. (which I know hardly anything about and still makes me panicked just typing about)
Regardless of what you decide about the ethics of it, consider that ultimately it is your life, your decision, and there are other ways to invest money. It’s really unlikely that the will is going to effectively prohibit you from doing something with it other than becoming a landlord, not sure that’s even possible. If you really want to prioritize honoring their wishes you can, but in the end you are the one who is going to have to actually live the life you build for yourself, not them, and no one has a right to make that kind of decision except you. Use your own judgment about what future you want and don’t feel guilty for acting on it.
Crazy how the response is to completely gaslight you about what the real issue is
I upvoted because I’m generally excited by the idea of software that lets you interact with different social media via one interface. Idk if the project itself is good but it seems like a neat idea.
I remember seeing a teenage girl in a small food store I go to address the guy behind the counter as ‘human’. “Thanks, human.” Stuff like that. I think she was just doing a bit or something but I thought it was strange.
My ex would say this type of shit to people she didn’t know, I’d say it was half “doing a bit”, and half she is just a strange person.
They said it’s “false” that the killer was motivated by something else. It’s not false, it’s unknown, because there isn’t enough information to actually be confident about that. People trying to give a misleading sense of their motives to throw investigations off when committing crimes is something that happens. If you think there is enough information, that’s more of an opinion than a fact.
I got a bit of harassment from hexbear users when I started using Lemmy, haven’t in a while now though, I have blocked around 30 of them and instance block
idk if NH is exactly the same, but Vermont has pretty strict signage laws, the point is to prohibit billboards and similar sorts of things, and the effect is pretty nice. Just because you’re in public and have eyes doesn’t mean advertisers should have a right to your attention.
Policy is similar too, they want civil unrest and violent overthrow of current governments
There is an instance block feature you can use in the settings as a user, that seems to work pretty well for not seeing hexbear stuff
No, because “caring about commoners” and “shitting on the rich” are not actually the same objective. People are happy about it because it feels good to get revenge or for people who treat others unfairly to be punished, but sating popular bloodthirst isn’t necessarily aligned with actually making society a better place. “Kill the bad people and the problems will be fixed” is historically very much a famous last words kind of sentiment.
Otherwise you’d have to pay double the delivery fee or drive to two different places to pick up the orders, which might not be ready at the same time. There are advantages to cooperating on things.
If you aren’t doing things together, that’s a different sort of relationship than if you are. It’s valid to want one or the other, but should probably be on the same page about it with your partner.
To me most of the draw of a relationship, romantic or otherwise, is the opportunity to work together to make both of your lives better, to have someone you trust to care how you feel and who has your back, and who you can do the same for them. Playing a role in someones life can be a satisfying responsibility to fulfill and worthwhile, but it should ideally be something you actively choose to be responsible for. It sounds like what you’re struggling with is that because of your upbringing you have a hard time seeing that sort of responsibility as anything other than something that you get roped into due to circumstances, tradition, guilt and manipulation, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Sometimes someone asking you for help is because they trust you and know you want to help, rather than trying to take advantage and control you.
That said, you don’t have to want to work towards that either, it’s also fine if you want a sort of relationship where you keep a lot of distance from each other, just find someone who also wants that instead of someone hoping for something else.
