Tangential: those who couldn't care less would be nihilists, or sadists. "Misanthrope" is better reserved for something else. I guess it all just blends together from certain standpoints... it shouldn't.

Cool service, probably shouldn't be used for anything you don't want to be public. The URLs seem to change incrementally, and https://dro.pm/g is self referential for that reason, probably. You can go letter by le

It is difficult to not be a misanthrope once one realises the scale of evil that is being (banaly) perpetrated every single day. Not everyone can be a Gandhi or MLK Jr.

Having the ability/capability to enact change is not the same as caring. A person, or a whole species, can care about the suffering of others without having the ability to do anything about it, or even realising the scale or nature of

This is demonstrably false. We know other species can empathise[1] and there are countless examples of them helping others in distress. It's astounding that anyone can even assert such a thing so confidently. [1] https://blo

Agreed. To anyone reading this: do not feel alone in this. Despite the scale of evil and the scale of suffering in this world, good people, opposed to suffering and evil, still exist. Anti-war people exist, people who do not turn a blind ey

It seems you don't understand how this "foodchain" works—there will be nothing, no non-human or human animal, to eat if "we" run of out plant food sources. Everything consumed ultimately comes from plants.
