Why does Pinocchio want to turn into a school?

You should never apologise for a masterpiece

That’s easy enough. As humans, we have the ability to look ahead and estimate the impact of our actions - which is something you’ve implicitly acknowledged in your question. Therefore, we can choose the best course of action.

The really difficult part is knowing what is best for other people. They often don’t share my opinions on what’s good and what’s bad -.-

OP apparently lives in “Surfer’s Paradise”, just outside of Brisbane, Australia. Neat

Wow, that’s a sharp pencil

It’s right if it brings happiness to yourself and the world, it’s wrong if it brings pain to yourself and the world.

It is also right to follow rules if you don’t have a clear understanding of the situation, because (hopefully) those rules were made with an expertise that you don’t posses.

Kid’s been brought up right, sharing with his friends. Very kind

Maybe you need to feed your fridge more fibre or have it drink more?

What does “yet” mean?

None of them; my forks are best

extremely activist about hating modern Windows and extremely reluctant to use anything else.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. I have Linux on my laptop but I cba dealing with bootloaders on my desktop and can’t lose Windows altogether.

(Last time I tried dualbooting was with XP I think, so probably it’s a lot easier now than it used to be but still…)

I only “upgraded” to Windows 10 (from 7) last year due to software I needed for work. Windows 10 is bad enough, I’m definitely not “upgrading” to 11 until I have to.

In my experience, 10 runs much slower than 7 with so many updates that just kill performance as they’re running. And I’ve had pop-up adverts recently and programs that open on startup despite being disabled

I’m full of microplastics but I keep buying food and drink packaged in plastic _(--)/

Sometimes there’s just no realistic alternative. As nice as it would be to only buy fresh, unpacked food I don’t have the time, money or energy to deal with that

EDIT: oh no, the Lemmy markup has ruined my shrugging face :(

lmao gottem

“fuck me in the ass, that’s mildly inconvenient”

I was thinking about this earlier today for myself. Not specifically about computers, but the same principle. If I have something that bugs me and wastes 10 seconds of my time every single day but I could permanently fix the problem in an hour - logically it’s worth fixing. Even if it eventually saves time, I have to invest an hour of time and brainpower right now. If it’s something I don’t really care about, it’s just not worth it. I don’t need that hassle, I’ll just have a small annoyance every day instead of a big annoyance today. I’ve got better things to do. Like browsing Lemmy apparently

Is it the same specific five people for every child in the world? They must be super busy :/

Actually yes (in my opinion).

There’s two options. People have a choice in what they do and can change how they behave - in which case we, as a society, should help them to change and be their best selves. This process would take place somewhere where they could no longer harm anyone, a “locked rehabilitation centre” or whatever. Basically prison but without the hangups on what many prisons are like right now.

Option two, people don’t have a choice in what they do and can’t change - in which case, how can we blame them? Keep them out of harm’s way and let them live the best life they can without being a danger to anyone.

So, theoretically, anybody is eligible for redemption in my mind. Either because they can change and grow, or because they have literally no choice in their antisocial behaviour. In reality, the sort of people we’re talking about? I don’t know what they would have to do to prove to me that they have actually changed and want to atone for what they’ve done. Is it even possible to make up for the crimes of politicians and billionaires who will do anything to keep their money and power? Still, I don’t think that killing anyone is the correct answer in my ideal world
