It's cool that this stage idicates the adult male is changing into an adult female, its final step in development. TIL

Another straight monogamist here, hit on is hit on. As long as it's not pushy I can tolerate some flirting from pretty much anybody, just realize it's not going anywhere.

The golden rule is universal.

The good vs evil idea, phrased that way, is a trap. All the bullshit about idolatry and worshipping the wrong gods and whatever else is not objective evil, it's subjective evil based on your rules. So if you ask "how do you know what I think is evil?" the question makes no sense.

In the way that I think you mean it I would say that such a thing doesn't exist in a way that is meaningful. On the first place, we would have to agree what "objective evil" even means, but if it's "the thing that powers the mystical sorting hat of souls" then the discussion is not getting off the ground.

In a more conversational/lexical way where we agree that good" is, well, good, and "evil" is bad I would say that the question posed doesn't really make sense. It's like saying "what temperature is objectively hot" which I could only say is either relative or subjective.

I don't think anybody needs a guide for that discussion, the part you could want a guide for is "what does it mean to me" but only insofar as you want to paint it magically / supernaturally with some greater implication.

Moving a box of what now?

It's all a question of framing and goals I suppose.

If it is your position that there is an absolute right being who knows objective standards of good and evil (whatever those words mean to it) and you must do those things to... 🤷. The answer is get to heaven I guess, because you want to go there for some reason to celebrate the supreme being for time without end, then I suppose that's what you've got to do.

If your position is more that there is absolute right and wrong and that by getting these from a god you will have better relationships, or more fulfilled life, or make more money or whatever if you pursue them then ok I guess. That seems to be a little naive. In the first place you will act imperfectly no matter what, and in the second place, you can measure directly against the outcomes you want. For example there are cultural norms, social norms, financial theory, etc.

I am sure there are far more cases philosophically speaking, but a solid argument is in your own comment: if you are TRYING to do good and make the best choices you can, then look back and realize they could be better, it means YOU GOT BETTER. From the standpoint that all of us are imperfect, the best we can do is improve the most we can in the direction we want. If your direction of choice is that one aligned to theology, then yeah I guess there's your answer. I, for one, want to do all the good person stuff from option 2 above for my earthly benefit. Assessing the relative goodness of options is all that is necessary for that, and society does the rest.

I can't predict what comes after with absolute certainty, but the idea that "I don't know absolute right answers" is not sufficient to poof a god argument into existence and to the top of the pile.

Edit: Incidentally, the first perspective up there is the framing for the post itself. If you don't go around killing people just because it's a rule and you want to get your treats, that sounds like sociopathy and be disqualifying from the colloquial use of "good person". It's like "well I would stomp that kitten, but Mom says if I stomp kittens I have to go to bed early" which is totally wild. As though if your mom didn't punish you, you'd just go kitten stomping for fun.

IMO this also applies to Amy klobuchar who keeps getting suggested as a candidate for the same offices.

Wow seems like you're a real supercilious, bitter asshole. Comment history confirms. Nobody needs to read anything else from you: suggest downvote and block.

Yep. There weren't devices everywhere so we all learned about them together, hunted for Easter eggs, and trolled each other by inverting mice and flipping screens and all of that. It felt cleaner because there wasn't an ad on every screen. I remember getting a book with exercises in it and just working through it for keyboarding, and going to the lab in a class to do research for a report (or just goof around on the Internet). I also remember in later high school when the IT director informed us very proudly the school had almost a TB of storage across our several computer labs like this.

Good times. I do also remember having THE computer for the school and it rolled in on a heavy cart.

I'm in! Any situation where trumps get punched in the face is ok by me.

That's the rock fairy bro. That or if there are already rocks they, you know, breed and stuff.

I was all out of whoopass

It's possible there could be more then 1 can of whoopass at a time. I don't whoop and drive.

Nobody is freaking out who isn't a moron.

There are a handful of arch users who eat crayons... if the windows users in 2026 leave any I mean.

The joy of people is, no matter which your neighbor has, they will inevitably find a way to make it look bad.

That's nice. I'm ready to fight to win, personally.

Fight dirty. Pack every court, add seats, gerrymander the life out of every county and up, abuse every rule and gentleman's agreement. It all ends when those things become enshrined in law. No more wringing hands and strongly worded letters. Sometimes the bully just needs a bitch slap to make the trip back to reality.

Hahaha I eat crayons so other people get mad

Neat.
