It is if they agree that people like me don't deserve rights.

Poor Tucker Quarrelsome. Spread lies for The Mighty Orange One, and end up on YouTube with 12 listeners. Slime doesn't pay.

True but something strange is going on in the world today. Politics has been wrecking havoc on everyone’s happiness. ✌️

You can get up on time, brush your teeth, put your shoes on the correct feet, and still not make it to work.

Most older people I know were taught respect is an important part of daily life. I have found that the younger someone is, the less respect they have for respect. But this is just people I've met.

If you believe that, if it - if any holy book - gives you comfort, that's fine. Just don't try to change what I beieive.

But it also often happens that those are facts. And people see facts that they don't like and say "it's just your opinion".

Published author here, things like this make fear for the future of our language.

Yes. This is a very unfortunate truth. It's why I don't have any hope that Trump will ever feel the consequences of his lying, cheating, and being an overall horrible creature.

In my 59 years of life, this is one real truth that has become all too apparent. There are too many instances of truly good people being shat upon by circumstances and bad people never receiving consequences for Karma to be an actual thing. I know that there are people who believe in Karma because it gives them peace, and that's OK for them. It's hard to accept that fairness and justice are not universal, metaphysical truths. It's depressing to think that the worst of the worst may never pay for their misdeeds. Goodness isn't always rewarded and evil isn't always punished and that's just the way it is.

As I always tell ppl who believe in karma: if karma was real, civilization wouldn't have need of laws or prisons. "Oh no, somebody broke in and stole all your stuff and killed your family? GURL! That sucks but can you imagine what karma is gonna do them?!"

Yes that's the point! Karma is the balancing force along the continuum of lives ..

Karma IS real - it often kicks in with your NEXT life!!!!

Pish-posh

Karma is just yet another "god" that people use to cope with the reality that there's actually NOTHING "greater than us that's controlling our lives".

Your Karma takes effect in your next life, not this one.

I disagree to a small extent. I was at work one day and a coworker #1 pulled into the parking lot for their shift with a police car right behind them. They then received a ticket for speeding I think it was. The coworker #2 standing next to me was laughing and teasing them about it the rest of the shift. The very next day the exact same thing happened to the coworker that had been doing the laughing and teasing. Coincidence? Absolutely! Karma? Again absolutely!

Elon Musk is proof.

Karma is actually a horrible concept. It lends itself very easily to victim blaming.

thats why sometimes i thought to myself "hey why not do the karma urself?" lol

You don't know that Karma doesn't exist through reincarnation on a lower rung of the wheel or in other lifes

That's now how karma works. It's when you reincarnate you'll get what you did done to you to fulfill your karmic debt. Like an equilibrium.

I'm hoping that, as he lays dying, he asks 'was i a good man?', And someone gently takes his hand, smiles at him, looks into his desperate eyes, and says, 'no, Donald, you were the biggest a**hole anyone has ever known'.

It's a truth which is hard to swallow, but a truth nonetheless, you've just got to try and do the best you can and live your life the best you can....

They won't be remembered as such. In fact, some of them -- like my own father, in fact -- will be unspoken of after they die, the more quickly to forget they existed.

The occidental understandng of Karma is wrong.

You and I might not see karma at work but the energy you put out will come back to gitcha’.

It might not be real but you should live your life as if it were real.

I totally disagree. I believe Karma does exist but we are not all privileged to see it working.

Karma is real. Liars and cheaters are lied to and cheated on. Life is a symbiotic journey it all comes back in the end. Good people li e better lives.

Oh, yes, this is a pet peeve of mine. I even addressed it in a blog post.

really? Tell that to Trump and his die hards

If I thought I was dumber than my parents, I'd still be living in their basement instead of standing tall, and moving to my Aunt's basement.

Funnily the kids whose parents refuse to use a "no" on them learn using it themselves just fine. Kids need to learn to say "no", but they also need to learn to accept a "no"

Apologies mean nothing when they aren't followed up by attempts to change the offending behavior.

But we can make it a little fairer

It’s mostly nitrogen. It’s to make sure that the chips don’t get crushed and the chips don’t oxidize and become soft and spoil

Yeah, that's why there's this thing called "peer review". Magazine and newspaper articles are not the same as academic journals. Not all secondary sources are created equally.

Technically it's an oblate spheroid, but it is most certainly not flat.

Not that celebrities should be expected to be activist but some feel they can use their fame to promote or assist others.

... you sure we're not devolving? Because it feels like we're devolving...

Or if he does, he'll likely do the same to you.

They just go out of blinker fluid really fast in those really big cars, they really can't help it!

All things in moderation.

On the other hand, not all change is progress. Some people tend to mix the two...

You can't resolve an issue by adding 10 others to it, each problem has its own story and own solution, whataboutism gets nothing done and that is why politicians love it.

Luck doesn't exist. Random chance, yeah that exists.
