@YoungStarOn I understand that the pregnancy is a problem, but I would be much more worried by the fact that she seems to be transforming into an armchair
@fesshole Don't worry about it.
As a native speaker, I'm telling you that people didn't notice, and the one in one thousand that may have noticed didn't care.
When you accept the love of someone who has opened their heart to you, you have a huge responsibility to them. It is down to you to protect the heart that gave itself to you, to protect and nourish the light that pours itself into you, like a brave flower reaching towards heaven.
A person once told me that when you love someone dearly from the heart of yours, nothing about them is ever too much or too little for you to bear. They’re just the right amount. Then by that, nothing is ever too much to ask from the person who truly loves you
Imagine if it turns out that performative masculinity is a contributing factor why men die earlier on average. I didn't expect the word "toxic" to be quite this literal in context.
Almost, but it goes one step further. Some people are in a high trust environment, some low. The question becomes: do I believe that all those in low trust plus all the selfish people in high trust sum to 50%+1. Yes, I want to save people but I also want to live
I have opinions on the new red/blue button debate. I interpret it as a test of whether or not you are in a high trust or low trust environment.
Choosing the red button guarantees your own safety but also ensures people will die because there is invariably going to be people who will vote blue for whatever reason.
But choosing the blue button is only a viable option IF you are in a high trust environment.
The blue/red button question, in my opinion, is more of a question of “do you trust the group you’re in?”
Pure altruism & trust vs. guaranteed self-preservation
So it depends on the group. All other things being equal, I don’t particularly want blue voters to die, so I’d ideally vote blue. But I’m not going to stake my life on that if the group I’m in is particularly untrustworthy. So again… it depends on the group.
If I was in a situation where all the other voters were my closest friends & family, obviously I would choose blue.
But if I’m in a group of people who don’t know each other and are openly hostile to each other, I am pressing red.
