“Is This The Right Thing To Do?”: 22 Moral Dilemmas And You Have To Decide

I'm already quitting this thread, I can tell it's going to upset me. It's not that black and white. Yes if it was one bad company and lots of good ones and the difference wasn't very stark, most people would buy from the good ones. (And very poor people wouldn't, and I wouldn't judge that.). And if it's nearly every company and the few who are good cost five times as much, then almost nobody would. (Reality is closer to this, in many products.) The interesting question is where does each person flip from one to the other. What are your limits? What if you were richer than you are? What's do you think constitutes worse behaviour from a company vs another? *Those* are interesting ethical questions. Nobody can answer this one without making assumptions and then we can't tell anything from the answer if we don't know what assumptions were made.

So many small stores have closed as a result of these "brands and stores" that you can't buy many things locally anymore so it's very much a case of buying them from these immoral businesses or doing without.

I don’t buy from primark. They treat their employees like slaves and pay them very little. I don’t by EV again due to child slaves digging for cobalt

If any of the people who voted “I don’t buy anything from them” are flat out liars. Who do you think makes a majority of items in stores/on Amazon? Sweatshops in China.

I continue shopping. Not because I'm okay with the way Amazon treats employees, but because so many other companies not only *totally* dropped the ball with online shopping, but they often think it's absolutely okay to charge €6,80 for shipping on a €3 object. I live very rural, while I can get to shops in towns, it's usually the same selections. Going to any sort of specialist shop would mean going to a major city and that's utterly impractical. So, Amazon it is...

I already hate my life, I'd trade 75% of it for a cookie or less lol

Would it remain a perfect body the rest of my life, no matter what I do our don't do? Because I'm sure I've spent much more than 5 cumulative years in the gym.

No such thing as the perfect body it does not exsist ! So unfair trade !!

The perfect body would be an immortal one

Whose version of a perfect body?

I live in modern developed society. Many of my seemingly innocuous choices likely cause more harm, including taking more than a single day off a random persons life. I’d otherwise have to live completely off grid with minimal to no participation in society.

Anywhere any time. Yes, I'd use that. The random stranger doesn't die, they just lose a single day. There are far more things actively killing people (smoking, wars, pollution, etc) that the minuscule impact that I might make would be less than a rounding error. And if I was the random stranger? I'd never know as we don't have a fixed expiry date. Will I die at 71 because a bunch of people time travelled and I paid for it, or will it be cancer like my mom? Out will it be vCJD because I ate a cheap burger in a stall in a fairground back in the 80s? Or... maybe on Tuesday a large truck will attempt to overtake a tractor and I'll be collateral damage...? Or, perhaps, I'll be 86 and disabled and in severe pain and I'll be praying please please use your powers and charge it to my life. [note: I worked as a Care Assistant in nursing homes; I wouldn't wish that horror show upon myself, we as a civilisation need to understand that sometimes it is necessary to say "enough, let me go now"]

I'd do a Marty McFly. Bring and almanac back and make millions winning the lottery..then use the money to help other people who need it.

I wouldn't. It sounds unnecessary.

Nope ! that’s selfish ! n I’m perfect happy living in my little village in the sticks ty lol housebound n I live in a lotta pain on a lotta meds so if going else where means someone else gotta die that I don’t even know then NO ! Mind you make it an enemy as deserves it lmao then I’d say yes but let my kids use it !

How about tell them the food is bad and if they don't improve it they will not be successful.

I'd write a positive review about the great customer service without mentioning the food

I'd tell them the food needs a lot of work prior to asking anybody for reviews, and that for a local place word of mouth is far more important than online reviews (which, these days, ought to be viewed with distrust - I always find and read the 1 star reviews first, and avoid anything that only has 5 star reviews). If they're serious then they'll appreciate the honestly and try to improve. If they get all defensive and shirty then, well, then they're not serious. Bye.

This may have been an off night for them. So I'd try again.

I would tell them the food was awful.

Could you choose who loses their money or home? I'll go first - Elon Musk all the way!

Sure. I'd wish for a billion dollars. There's not that many people in the world that have a billion dollars to lose, and they're all scum. Win/win.

Wish to own Amazon.

Simple, wish for the exact amount the richest man in the world has, that way he can be the only one to lose it :)

Revenge

Uh, seeing as I’m going to get shítcanned as soon as the higher-ups find out (which could be on the first day on the job) I think I’d rather admit it, as trying to hide it for longer could get you blackbálled.

I'm guessing this is about lying on your resume and having it backfire on you. Any "dream job" tends to quickly become a nightmare once you start working it and realizing it was all a facade seeing it from the outside. So, it doesn't matter. But it could still be a better job than your previous jobs. If you're going to be hired for one thing, you better have been honest.

If a job requires a skill that I don't possess then I wouldn't apply for it in the first place, whether it's my deeam job or not. Presumably being able to speak Japanese would have been mentioned in the job ad or during the interview.

The truth always outs so be truthful upfront it’s easier lol oh n the dream job along with the perfect body or man don’t exsist 😂

I would wait, but also start learning some Japanese hoping to keep the job.

I'd get the heck away from the koalas, so the enemy can figure out what to do with them

If there's baby koalas, then there's other animals in the forest. A sudden stop in their cries would tip off that someone did something to stop the animals from making noise too suddenly. I don't think I would do anything but get out of the range of the animals.

I’d make them live up to their dropbear name and eat everyone. /s

We don't have koalas here...

I’d most def save the animals ffs only inhumans don’t !

I wouldn't have a child to begin with.

As much as I love my daughter and I hope nothing more bad happens to her, I wouldn't clone her. Nothing could possibly replace her. Not even a clone of her. It would become another person but it wouldn't be the same as my real daughter.

I saw the Black Mirror episode. It didn't go well.

I say send in the clones.
