Agnostic atheist.

The amount of times I have talked with vegans who own and advocate for pet ownership…

I think the number is a lot higher and the barrier of trust a lot lower than people think.

If you come across a vehicle accident and you are able to help someone generally people don’t even think and just take action to save another persons life.

In reactionary scenarios where direct intervention saves someone’s life, people help a lot more than you’d think.

As a species we generally have a bypass in our brains that makes us want to help others in desperate need.

I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

People on Lemmy (and the tech community) also skew heavily to tech industries so I’m not surprised they are shocked and disagree that saying you work for Microsoft is a bad thing.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

If your point is that I engage in immoral practices; of course I do.

That wasn’t my initial argument though.

As I have said in another comment, if I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work killing people in a foreign country because I would realise that makes me a hypocrite.

In the same way I wouldn’t be vegan, work for an abattoir and complain to my CEO that killing animals is wrong.

Is the fact that you’re so defensive over my comment not an indication for you to do a little introspection?

You can’t claim the moral high ground if you’re enabling the very thing you’re complaining about.

I don’t comprehend why people find this controversial other than that they may be uncomfortable with their own choices and dislike when some random on the internet has pointed it out to them.

If I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work being used to kill kids because I would have the presence of mind to realise that I would be a hypocrite if I did that.

I took the hit to my overall earnings by not working for a corporation that kills the planet/tramples on workers rights/engages in war crimes.

Have you?

Imagine thinking you have any moral high ground but work for a massive corporation.

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

I hope the TVs make a recovery.

If there’s a chance of sex I don’t think the average male is going to care if you wear grinch pyjamas.

Happy to wait and happy if he never releases haunted chocolatier.

Stardew has already given more than I ever expected.

Get. Off. Reddit.

Well at the bare minimum you can unionise.

Hypothetically, if Hitler saved a child from being hit by a car would you publicly sing Hitlers praises and be happy to make positive quotes about it?

Does being on the right side of a single issue negate everything else?

You sound (mostly) libertarian.

Thanks for the explanation though.

This sounds like some kind of an enlightened centrist take.

Educate me though, can you briefly describe your political philosophy?

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

For one brief moment, at least we got Skyrim (even though it was a buggy mess on release)
