Once, in New York City, I haggled the opposite direction for fun, because I was annoyed about being harassed

Guy was trying to sell me a watch so I asked
“How much?”

For you? $15

“Nah, too cheap” I replied

uhh… O-okay, $20!

“Hmm, how about $25?”

okay yes yes, $25!

“No. $40”

okayyy good deal $40 for you!!

“No way, that’s too expensive”- I turned around and started walking away

huh? Oh- no! $20! $15! Ten! F-five dollars for you!

I made this but idk how to share it bc catbox.moe never works for me, imgur is down, and I don’t have a peertube account

Vegan antinatalist utilitarianism ftw

I’ve been vegan for 9 years lol

You still haven’t shown your credentials 😤

You’d better be vegan, if you’re interested in not being a huge hypocrite.

Also, this image could’ve been generated locally using barely any resources. Flux, e.g., is quite good and highly efficient

In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.

Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo

This is a terrible analogy. I get that it conveys your feelings about it, but that’s it.

For a better analogy:

A badguy tells you to kill someone else, or they’ll kill you and your family, and also probably someone else too. Your choice, I assume, would be the utilitarian one- to kill someone else. This is the so-called “logical” answer to the trolley problem folks love to bring up with this topic, because less deaths = good, and the ‘someone else’ was probably gonna die either way.

The field of philosophy that discusses these questions, however, is vast, and there is no one correct answer. You and I happen to have different opinions on ethics.

I would argue that refusing to kill someone doesn’t make you responsible for the badguy’s actions. I also wouldn’t argue that people who kill the stranger are bad people- they just made what they thought was the best decision. I just disagree that that’s the best decision, and can’t justify doing the same myself.

You folks, however, seem to beat around the bush about it to avoid admitting what you did. You decided that the continued genocide of Palestinians was worth it to keep Trump out of office. That’s valid- that was the only choice you felt you had. You don’t need to rationalize it away.

It’s disrespectful to both me and yourself to not be upfront with yourself about that.

This is not happening

The justification here is that voting for a genocider is an endorsement of the genocide

Trump is worse

Yeah duh. This goes without saying

Voting stuff

I’m queer and disabled- like second on the chopping block for Trump- and I put my own safety aside in defense of Palestinians by refusing to vote for anyone who intended to have them murdered (Both Harris and Trump)

.ml stuff

I’m not a .ml stan- I didn’t post this here for that part

other rude nonsense

Your comment is rudey rude rude and you’re pretty rude
