No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics?
4·1 year agoMaybe, but not much of one. Honestly anyone supporting or protecting them is almost as bad as being them. Some technical terms would be sheltering, aiding, and abetting.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I don't have a purpose in life and feel like a robot. This cannot be good for my mental health, but I don't know how or what to change. How do I change?
252·1 year agoNobody has a purpose in life. Belief that life has a purpose is a creationist delusion created to try and comprehend and apply order to what is intrinsically chaotic and random, and to fight the anxiety that their fears induce.
Your options are to choose one of the following:
- Acceptance. You can accept that life is meaningless and that it’s okay. This one’s my preference.
- Denial. You can deny life’s meaninglessness and seek to find or create a purpose for yourself. This can range from something as simple as a hobby to as life changing as having a family or advocating for a cause.
- Embrasure. Revel in the chaos and express yourself through it, doing whatever you want without thought it care. This is best exemplified by the fictional character of the Joker.
- Oppression. Take up religion to crush understanding of reality and replace it with a delusion of supernaturally defined purpose. This is probably the most commonly used option, frequently forced upon people during childhood.
- Opposition. Attempt to fight the reality or mask the effects of meaninglessness through other means, such as direct therapy, chemical dependency (not recommended), talking with friends/family, or through other methods not previously mentioned.
Understanding one’s place in the universe (insignificant, irrelevant, and temporary speck) is important to having an accurate impression of ones existence. Whether one can accept that and what one do with that understanding is unique to the individual.
I hope that helps - good luck.
The true War on Christmas is fight in solidarity with Halloween and Thanksgiving in an effort to push Christmas back over the November/December border. It’s a just and noble war, one which I both advocate and fight in.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?
216·1 year agoApparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”
Etterra@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Judge questions release of Jan. 6 defendant — because he plans to join Russian Army
14·1 year agoI’d say let him, but we all know he’d be a propaganda tool rather than put on the front lines like he deserves.

That’s because you can only have a shadow if you have a soul.
What makes you think cops are competent?
This, but since these were expensive, lots of people bought cheaper, off-brand ones book-by-book at grocery stores over a period of 30+ weeks. We had a set growing up that my mother would pick up at whatever store we were going to, IDK, I was little.

I believe it’s a witch hunt in search of a scapegoat. I can’t wait until they provide a “voluntary confession” from the poor bastard. The system will do anything to ensure the continuation of the system.
