Not being a huge dick is a low bar that way too many people don't clear.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 40 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The rules for me to like you are quite simple:

  • having a huge dick is optional
  • not being one isn't
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 29 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Is having a huge dick optional, tho?

Like how do I opt in?

Tiny check box during character creation, most people miss it

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Well… shit. Can I reroll?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Rerolling is a feature exclusive to certain religions

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, but only through microtransactions.

And sometimes they botch it.

IMO if we're talking about sexual compatibility, a huge dick is a detriment. Everything over "a bit larger than average" is literally a pain in the ass - you can make it work with some effort, but if the dick was just average-sized you wouldn't need to put in any additional effort in the first place. Though of course, some people also have larger-than-average holes. And some big dick havers are pure bottoms, anyway.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 4 points 5 days ago

But deep down, I want people to see me returning the cart. My motivations were never entirely pure.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I was a volunteer EMT for the longest time, and I'd always tell people I did it for my own selfish reasons, kinda tongue in cheek like you here, but at the end of the day it always is. I did it because I liked the feeling of helping people. I liked the feeling of giving my time to my community. It just happens it was good selfish and not bad selfish.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

some argue that this "temptation for good" is proof of a god's existence, but i think it's "just" an evolutionary trait that brought our species to a great success

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Interesting philosophical question there. Do we ever do good deeds for selfless reasons? Or do we do it for the satisfaction, recognition, or sense of self?

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Can any deeds even be evaluated as good or bad without the context of satisfaction, recognition, or sense of self???

"Does altruism actually exist"

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

hard question to answer, but I'd wager yes. there are still nice things we do that we know will never get noticed. maybe it's buying a sandwich for the dude on the corner or making go fund me donations anonymous but I do think we all have some of those little things. at least for the people we love.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

True, but you are always there to notice your own actions. The satisfaction of doing something good and/or keeping up with your own self-image may be the real motivators.

fair enough. I would argue that without your own self-image you would not be able to decipher what a "good" act is. our sense of self is definitely entangled with our moral compass. but now we're really getting into it haha.

I do it for "selfish" reasons, but not those. I want the carts in their corrals so they don't damage my car and are in a well-known location when I want/need to use them. So, I do the work needed to make that world, and not just the minimum.

I also have to recognize that not everyone has the ability to return the cart, and so while/when I have that ability, I should return at least a few carts that aren't "mine".

[–] sheridan@lemmy.world 53 points 6 days ago (5 children)

My girlfriend returns other people's stray carts when she sees them. I guess she's getting into super heaven.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 37 points 6 days ago

When she gets to heaven, she'll have carte blanche!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Unfortunately there is no super heaven, but she is earning credits for any scenario where she’d go to hell.

"sweet, i've saved up enough points to get a pass on either one murder or showing vacation pictures to coworkers for ten minutes"

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Ohhh gotta go with vacation pics. You gotta see this closeup of the sunset I took while standing on a stone column in Paris. Let me find it..... it's here somewhere... was that 2018?... hold on... oh here is a weird thing on my ankle last summer... hold on I'll find the sunset.........no......no.....hmmm... it's here somewhere....hmm.... hold on....

Step 1: Want to be good, always see your mistakes.

Step 2: Improve a life long, but be happy of your life.

You can't do better than that. Anything in that direction is good.
Just in general. I don't even know if a god exists. Nor should it change my behavior.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Only seven souls have gotten into heaven. The most recent one was Fred Rogers. The one before that was over 700 years ago. The rule is to get into heaven, you need to be judged better than the previous one let in.

See you in hell.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Sooooooooo.........Dolly Parton has a 50/50 chance.

Fuck life!

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

At least the people I hate won't get in.

That's a victory on its own.

I still don't really understand the obsession by people who spend all their time on the internet with whether the cart return kid had to return their personal cart along with the 200 other carts.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 children)

Maybe because in many other countries this just isn't an issue and everyone returns their cart. Even when they don't have a deposit (though most do)

When losers sucked so much and managed to even get rejected from being a cop, but they still wanna play cop. They wanna feel the power but can't even do the bare minimal 3 week training.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 2 points 4 days ago

whether the cart return kid had to return their personal cart along with the 200 other carts.

putting them in the corral, as illustrated in the comic is one thing.... leaving them scattered in random spaces is another

That's one thing I'll never understand; why the fuck are people so entitled that they don't have enough time to return their carts? That's a 30 second job at most.

I've never seen anyone do that in Germany, though, maybe we're well mannered after all.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I'm sometimes thinking about making a post to 4chan about how not saying slurs is basic human decency in the hopes of it fixing a lot of people, and that it'll end up as a meme the same way the shopping cart post will (I really want some voice actor to read the shopping cart copypasta in the voice of Slavoj Zizek).

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (7 children)

What if it's common in my country to put a euro into it and you get it back when you put the cart back? I have never even seen carts left on the parking lot.

If the possibilities after death actually were heaven or hell, the bar to get into heaven would have to be pretty low. You're going to torture someone for eternity because someone pirated Game of Thrones a few times? That couldn't possibly be a moral way of running the universe.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Consider this: God is a dick. The bible is full of him acting like a complete asshole.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 5 days ago

For example, the Bible documents far more kills by God than kills by Satan: https://reasonsjourney.blogspot.com/2011/02/thou-shalt-kill.html

"Oh wait. You put a large cart in the small cart section."
