What what? Which confuses you, the fish paste or the croutons?
lath@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What happened to make you finally accept that it's not worth it to be an altruistic person?6·27 days agoAs other comments have said, “Altruism is the concern for the well-being of others, independently of personal benefit or reciprocity.” To be true to the definition, one wouldn’t seek worth from altruistic actions. If one did however, that’s called being a calculating person.
Anyway, altruism rarely is seen positively in the real world because there’s no worth to be found beyond the deed itself.
I don’t understand how people can stand living without being able to see in their neighbours’ homes. What if they’re dissing you or worse, don’t even care you exist?
Gasp
This travesty of justice cannot stand! I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!
It was scientifically proven that the squiggly lines make the seat seem cleaner than it actually is.*

lath@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the hardest thing you had to come to terms with?32·2 months agoThat happens because it’s a social act. People who don’t want to, but have to due to some sort of obligation or as an indirect action towards achieving something else.
Activism is a chore they have to do, so without people in charge sincere in what they do and aware of this type of obligation, any attempt at serious activism will end up half-baked and likely to do more harm than good.
It’s tough to find people who do something for the sake of it and not as a springboard meant to pursue other interests.
According to a documentary I watched in passing on tv some years back, he had several types of dentures and most of them caused him great pain. One could even say his need for teeth helped in small part advance denture technology in the US.
Washington’s teeth were made of diamonds and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Wow that’s such a dumb thing I didn’t expect to read today. I can see why you would think so, but still… Wow.

It appeared for me as well. As the second result, under “Limited-time events”, first result was Firefox. What followed below in the “More results” were the rest of the Firefox variants.
Great speech, really, but why aren’t you getting it? It’s not about you or me or the commenter i started the chain with. This was their comment:
… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?
I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
Are you and all the people up voting that comment really unable to grasp that there are people who actually do that? That strong jealousy really is a thing?
You kept deviating with your own sad stories, hope and self-control and get out from the bad environment.
But this is about them, the people that get left behind, that don’t crawl out and escape, that don’t get to build their lives into the exact thing they need. So that swapping places with literally anyone else would be fucking awesome to them.
That’s why I said you’re sitting on a high horse, you can’t seem to relate to them.
God job on making it out though. Though they might have moments of jealousy, I’m sure most of the people that couldn’t do the same are proud and thankful you can be an example to them. (Not sarcasm, if you’re interpreting that way. You only saw those earlier examples and seemed deadset on them being the only kind there is.)
You don’t seem to understand. There is no country on this planet that doesn’t have at least one abnormal living environment within. And the people living in such types of environment don’t have the luxury of entertaining your kind of psychological snobbism/elitism.
You talk of ideals, not reality. From the role of an observer, not a participant. Your advice is superficial nonsense from a position of safety and comfort.
I mean, what planet have you been living on until now?
An average person doesn’t mechanically compartmentalize emotions and puts them aside because they aren’t “productive solutions”.
It’s good for you that you’ve managed this kind of selfcontrol in order to improve your life. But that’s because you’ve numbed down the things that do you harm.
A person that isn’t depressed doesn’t have that kind of ‘benefit’. Emotions run freely and wild without fear. And cause all kinds of trouble.
Lovers being jealous of outside attention to the point of madness.
Siblings being jealous of biased parental love to end up estranged.
Children in patched up clothes on the streets begging or on the fields working - being jealous of children dressed in brand new school uniforms and going to school together.
Any person in a hospital bed with a terminal illness watching through the window the world living a life they can’t have.
And so many other examples…
Productive solutions don’t mean shit when it comes to strong emotions and jealousy can be very strong at times. Strong enough to murder even. I mean forget about the world-ending news regurgitation, at the local level where the average person lives, jealousy is high up in ranking as a reason for commiting crimes.
Dunno current status, but a few years back Croatia was a popular place to visit. I don’t have the details, but it was recommended to me at the time by multiple parties of the reasonable cost range.
