I would be careful using the term “solution” in this context.

you can’t just not have levers.

Show me an emotionally charged video of animals being beaten, and I’m much more likely to want to help, as opposed to only seeing some cold facts on a page about numbers of animals mistreated.

and this is my point. You aren’t critically evaluating the situation, as the same thing happens in each case.

ya and it’s better to consider it than not but it shouldn’t be the most important thing. A lot of people are scared of conflict because they’re too empathetic.

That second part feels unrelated. I know a lot of extreme introverts that need something going to fall asleep.

addendum: they believe things which are almost correct or apparently correct. Heavier objects fall faster is not correct, but it is apparently correct because very light objects fall slower than heavy objects, and this appears to be constant unless you actually check and realize there’s a threshold. There’s no world outside of eurasia and africa is functionally true if you lack the nautical equipment to reach the americas, but factually wrong. You can’t get things too wrong without problems, but there’s a decent amount of leeway.

ok but who is this about? sometimes people get bored alone but I’ve never seen someone dread it like this.

twelve phalanges makes four digits, use the thumb to count. Also prettier.

the best thing to do with your car battery is throw it in the ocean. The electric eels use it to recharge.

I disagree, 300% more

that’s just a fact, not an opinion

No it doesn’t. Being able to know how my neighbor feels, which is what empathy is, is good for relating to my neighbor, and useful in more emotional situations to avoid hurting them, but in general thinking about the actual outcome of actions is better than gauging other’s emotional response to them.

holistically speaking shooting a Nazi for example is an act of kindness and empathy.

It is not that necessarily. If the person does it for those reasons it is, but if I shoot a nazis because of anger it is not an action of empathy. Empathy is a motivation, it cannot be brought into an action after the fact.

Empathy is just the ability to see how someone else feels. It’s better to take actions based upon their materials outcomes rather than just an imagined emotional response to it. This isn’t even self-centered, using compassion, which is not wanting to hurt others, is good way to make choices. but solely thinking about how others would feel or have felt is not great.

the way we treat being egotistical as the worst personality trait is classist. Empathy is also the worst emotion to make decisions using.

this is just a fact. Hemiptera is often referred to as true bugs

If they couldn’t take part in hook up culture, would they be doing that?

yes, and as a result they aren’t avoiding the labor which you suggest wouldn’t be occurring anyway because they don’t have time for a relationship. Even if you were right it’s an unsatisfactory analysis of hook up culture because men also take part in, as well as other genders. If your response is just that they enjoy sex, then I don’t see how that reason doesn’t apply just as strongly to the women.

so if they didn’t hook up they wouldn’t be doing labor anyway, they just wouldn’t be having sex.

If they were never going to be in a serious relationship then they aren’t avoiding the problems of a relationship through hookup culture. They wouldn’t be doing that anyway. I think there’s also always been a certain amount of the population that hooks up because they don’t want a relationship but do want sex. That’s not the same as hookup culture because that’s referring to the pervasiveness of this style of living, and (I would argue) the use of apps and social media to being in more anonymous partners.

I also don’t know to what extent people don’t get into serious relationships due to hook up culture. It’s probably on a case by case basis, there may be some general trends, but based on what I’ve seen people do it between relationships. How long this means very much depends on the person and circumstances, and it probably does space out relationships longer, but it doesn’t necessarily lead to less work in a lifetime. The thing which would do that is setting boundaries in the relationship and not dating men who don’t put in their fair share.

being on strike is specifically refusing to do a job until the other party corrects conditions, being unemployed is just not doing any job with no bargaining power over the other party. Being on strike has demands, being unemployed just means you don’t have a formal relationship with an employer. In the same way, if women are trying to avoid their undo amount of labor through hooking up, they’re just deferring it to later, not changing it.
