Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means you're threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.

      No, it’s righteous.

        This is what people tell themselves to cope better. There’s nothing good about not being able to afford stuff and juggling between buyin groceries and paying the bills.

          I dunno, you really want to stick your head out for capitalism like that?

            Wanting to live a non-shitty life is somehow bad? Dounds like someone who’s working for capitalists would say. “Shut up and eat your mac and cheese, it’s your destiny!”

              No, i have to admit, I’m trying to gauge what people actually believe. I understand morality can’t be summed up into a set of infallible rules and it’s incredibly hard to teach everyone the ethical frameworks necessary to determine true moral justification for any given situation. The argument about personal liberty is just one that everyone has to reckon with and I’m curious if people still come to the same conclusions I always have.

                Long sentence, zero substance. I’m trying and I can’t sum it up to see what you wanted to tell, in ahort, or how is it connected to previous conversation. I think more and more that you are a politician.

            I prefer being able to pay for stuff than live in a cardboard box.

            But you do you.

        Righteousness doesn’t put food in my stomach, shoes on my feet, a roof over my head, or solve any of the other problems caused by poverty.

        You just went from having to be immoral when you’re poor to being poor being righteous?

        Please make up your mind.

          I think you may be missing the point.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
