If I hear one more person complain about paying taxes to fund schools because "I don't have kids," I swear to god....
YOU, PERSONALLY, BENEFIT FROM OTHERS HAVING A BASIC EDUCATION.
Or would you prefer to live in a world where mechanics can't measure and nurses can't read your list of allergens? Sounds deadly but ok
@_Psyber Huh, that’s what I call it at 2AM when my bladder is full. A wee walk.
There's been a vicious cycle online lately.
1) People treat empathy as a scarce resource.
2) People lash out at any act empathy toward "the other side" for fear of that scarce resource running out.
3) People legitimize the fear in Step 2 by running out of empathy for those lashing out... which brings us back to Step 1.
Empathy does not have to be a scarce resource. We do not have to diminish *any* suffering - & that includes the suffering of those lashing out.
It's trauma all the way down.
Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
She/they cishet.
