  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

A permanently better world is possible so why settle for a temporary better situation with little hope for further improvement? Why insist people have to lose fingers when no one losing fingers is achievable and not at all far fetched?

That's like insinuating that I refuse to lose weight because I can't lose 60lbs today. I'm literally saying I will take any movement what so ever if it means movement.

It's more like offering someone a weight loss pill that will work for a couple months and then make you gain more weight than you started with.

Sold. We just have to switch to a different pill before that two months is up. Literally 1% better is still better.
