When the history books on this era are written, conservative anti-trans scumbags will be next to the bigots screaming at a black girl for attending a school with white people, and the assholes blasting black protestors with firehoses. Y'know, the same place conservatives always end up in history: on the wrong side. | [

Partly because the feminine and masculine versions are different only by one letter. I’ve reliably had people confused and then apologetic. I don’t mind but it’s easier to go ahead and clarify how to address me beforehand.

Essentially putting forth the idea that going after trans rights has cost the GOP a lot, and will continue to. Most Americans find the targeting of trans kids as creepy and too extreme.\nI am reminded about after the 2012 election where Romney lost and the GOP put together an autopsy. In their autopsy they learned that their base is shrinking and will need to appeal to other demographic groups if they wish to win elections. They chose to double down on the small tent.

This is very similar to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, they too had a failed coup.

Be sure to save up those piss jugs for Trump Highway
"Well, Ray used to be on the road as a trucker, and that's what truckers do! They're drivin' along, and they've got deadlines to meet... they don't wanna pull in and... park the truck, walk in, take a pee in the toilet, then go back out and get on the road... they just have an old jug and they... put their bird in it, have a pee, cap it off, and once it's full they just drill the f***in' thing out on the highway! I mean, I don't agree with it. I see where they're comin' from, trying to make their deadlines, but... Ray's been firing them all over the park like he's still drivin' a truck!" -- Bubbles | [

The state loves to push Nashville around when they want. This is a prime example of that. John Lewis Way is a city road, not maintained by the state.
They're suddenly hands-off when it comes to dealing with problems they don't like though.
They have a super-majority and they are completely out of control.
They have gerrymandered their permanent existence and there is no "just vote" our way out of this. | [

Two fucking years before tRumps defeat a Wapo columnist foresaw everything; tRump sewing doubt, pressure on states not to confirm, the declarations that the election was rigged, then constitutional shenanigans to keep Trump in power until everything was resolved, which by that time he would be firmly ensconced as a fascist. Luckily, Mike Pence for once, as well as a couple of Republican secretaries of State,ii had some balls, but it was close, very close.

I just pinched myself hard enough to cause pain and leave a mark. I expected no happiness out of this. I experienced no feelings of happiness out of this.
My motive was just to prove the easily provable point that humans only motive is not happiness. Just observing humans doing things will also reflect this truth repeatedly.

Pinching yourself did bring you happiness, although you may not be fully conscious of it. Maybe it brought you happiness because you thought it would be a factor in proving your point, or maybe it brought you happiness because you liked the feeling. How it brought you happiness doesn’t matter.

So let me ask this: if not for your own benefit, why did you make the comment? Why didyou pinch yourself?
It's easy to say "nuh uh". It's harder to actually really justify your position. Are you saying you don't like being right? You don't enjoy answering reddit cmvs? You don't want to participate in the community? If all that is so, then why are you here? If it's not so, are you not then motivated by a personal desire to enjoy yourself? To find happiness? | [

Lazy copy/paste from another response because I think it fits here also:
...
I could have chosen to look at cute animal pictures or watch a funny video. Both of those things would have brought me more happiness than engaging with this thread. So why did I do it? What was my motive? It clearly wasn't seeking happiness.
I'm not sure what my motive is. But the fact that there is more than one motive to choose from means OP's claim that there is only 1 motive must be incorrect. | [

This gets posted quite a bit and inevitably relies on the fact that the poster has redefined selfishness to define any voluntary action when most english speakers use selfish to describe behavior that priorities oneself unreasonably to the detriment of others.
Yes -- people, when they're making conscious choices, do things for reasons. You might donate to charity because it makes you feel good that you're improving the conditions of those less fortunate than you. You might leap in front of a bus to protect a child because you don't think you could live with being the kind of person who allowed a child to perish.

It’s a negative view because I find myself using it to justify people’s actions that aren’t just. It’s also oversimplifies humans and the reasoning as to why we do the things we do. I would like to believe that humans are complex than this.
How is it bad for someone to do good things because it makes them happy?
That in itself is not bad. I’m saying that having the ideology is disadvantageous to me and that is why I want to change it.
And what is the alternative, doing good things because it makes you feel sad, or nothing?

Everything is super simple if you reduce them down far enough. Humans are complex, but if you boil every possible motivation to do something as “happiness” then they stop being as complex. Then when you discard any morality around WHY they’re “happy” and call all happiness seeking as equally “selfish,” then they’re even simpler.
Nobody has ever used “selfless” to refer to a person who does something that they have absolutely no reason to do, and hate doing. Most people would consider somebody who does things that only makes them miserable mentally ill. And yet the words selfish and selfless continue to exist.
Why? Because when people use those terms they’re talking about the reasons behind a person’s happiness. Somebody who is made happy by helping other people is considered selfless, while somebody who is only made happy by hoarding wealth or power is considered selfish.
The myriad of reasons we feel what we feel are what makes humans complex. The end result of actually feeling the emotions is just a biochemical response and can seem simple if you remove all other context. | [

Well they sacrifice their lives because it benefits them to save others.
For example, in some religions kids are taught that if they die in a heroic way, or if they die for their God, they will go to heaven. This is why they find happiness in sacrificing their life. But the motivation was still their own happiness. | [

Atheists sacrifice their lives for others too. People voluntarily spend their final moments in pain while fully expecting no happiness to come of it. | [

">\n\nI just pinched myself hard enough to cause pain and leave a mark. I expected no happiness out of this. I experienced no feelings of happiness out of this.\nMy motive was just to prove the easily provable point that humans only motive is not happiness. Just observing humans doing things will also reflect this truth repeatedly.\nYou could argue that self happiness is one of the strongest human motivators, but clearly it isn't the only human motive.",
">\n\nPinching yourself did bring you happiness, although you may not be fully conscious of it. Maybe it brought you happiness because you thought it would be a factor in proving your point, or maybe it brought you happiness because you liked the feeling. How it brought you happiness doesn’t matter. \nYou wouldn’t have done it if it didn’t bring you happiness",
">\n\nYou're wrong. It didn't bring me happiness. I know this because I experienced it personally. You insist it did without any knowledge or evidence only because if it didn't that disproves your point.\nTyping this comment brings me no happiness, yet I'm doing it.",
">\n\nSo let me ask this: if not for your own benefit, why did you make the comment? Why didyou pinch yourself? \nIt's easy to say \"nuh uh\". It's harder to actually really justify your position. Are you saying you don't like being right? You don't enjoy answering reddit cmvs? You don't want to participate in the community? If all that is so, then why are you here? If it's not so, are you not then motivated by a personal desire to enjoy yourself? To find happiness?",
">\n\nLazy copy/paste from another response because I think it fits here also:\n...\nI could have chosen to look at cute animal pictures or watch a funny video. Both of those things would have brought me more happiness than engaging with this thread. So why did I do it? What was my motive? It clearly wasn't seeking happiness.\nI'm not sure what my motive is. But the fact that there is more than one motive to choose from means OP's claim that there is only 1 motive must be incorrect.",
">\n\nPerhaps you chose to reply here because engaging in this discourse makes you a more intelligent and well-rounded person, while watching cat videos most certainly would not? You become happier as a result of further enhancing your skills.",
">\n\nThis gets posted quite a bit and inevitably relies on the fact that the poster has redefined selfishness to define any voluntary action when most english speakers use selfish to describe behavior that priorities oneself unreasonably to the detriment of others.\nYes -- people, when they're making conscious choices, do things for reasons. You might donate to charity because it makes you feel good that you're improving the conditions of those less fortunate than you. You might leap in front of a bus to protect a child because you don't think you could live with being the kind of person who allowed a child to perish. You might rob a bank because you want money and you don't care about the emotional distress and physical risk you'll cause the teller.\nThose are all reasons that the doer found satisfactory (I guess you could say that made them happy, although I think happiness is more complicated than that). but clearly we can make distinctions as to the quality of each justification relative to the impact of the action.",
">\n\nYour first point effectively means nothing other than you recognize the difference. Wouldn't this then make it easier to respond to, not more difficult? Or do you find the question tedious? \nYou didn't actually attempt to prove him wrong as much as you emphatically agreed with him. You listed no examples where someone does things for no reason, only that there are reasons someone would do good things(all personally beneficial).",
">\n\nWell I am curioous why you think it is a negative view or something you want to get rid of. I don't understand the negative implications of it. \nHow is it bad for someone to do good things because it makes them happy?\nAnd what is the alternative, doing good things because it makes you feel sad, or nothing?",
">\n\nIt’s a negative view because I find myself using it to justify people’s actions that aren’t just. It’s also oversimplifies humans and the reasoning as to why we do the things we do. I would like to believe that humans are complex than this. \n\nHow is it bad for someone to do good things because it makes them happy?\n\nThat in itself is not bad. I’m saying that having the ideology is disadvantageous to me and that is why I want to change it. \n\nAnd what is the alternative, doing good things because it makes you feel sad, or nothing?\n\nI don’t think there is any alternative.",
">\n\nEverything is super simple if you reduce them down far enough. Humans are complex, but if you boil every possible motivation to do something as “happiness” then they stop being as complex. Then when you discard any morality around WHY they’re “happy” and call all happiness seeking as equally “selfish,” then they’re even simpler. \nNobody has ever used “selfless” to refer to a person who does something that they have absolutely no reason to do, and hate doing.

">\n\nWell they sacrifice their lives because it benefits them to save others.\nFor example, in some religions kids are taught that if they die in a heroic way, or if they die for their God, they will go to heaven. This is why they find happiness in sacrificing their life. But the motivation was still their own happiness."
