Once it starts preventing the freedom and self-actualisation of others, it becomes evil, but before it reaches that point, I think you are correct.

It becomes bad if your greed results in doing harm.

Choosing to not donate money and buy a second boat instead is Neutral Greedy, it becomes Evil Greedy if you got the extra money by dumping toxic waste upriver from the elementary school.

Also, I unironically think there should be a gritty live action Scooby Doo tv reboot. poo poo worked for Archie and I don't even care about him.

I don't have my heart set on having children but i would definitely like too some day, they would have to be genetically my own though.

Raising another person's DNA is the most backwards thing another human being can do. There's a reason infanticide occurs in the natural world.

I shouldn't be made to feel guilty for making intelligent financial decisions throughout my life to possibly enable the raising of a child when a bunch of poor, uncaring, downtrodden refugees ran about loving like rabbits without caring for the impact it would have.

It sucks that children are born into low quality life in this world but maybe people with no life stability shouldn't get to procreate rather than the western world picking up the tab for the ignorant and uncaring.

I think there's a finer separation between someone who is generally stingy or a cheapskate and someone who, as you describe, spends lavishly on themselves.

I understand the biological imperative to pass on one’s own DNA and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

But gently caress you for making GBS threads on people who don’t or can’t.

It literally doesn't matter at all because our species isn't fighting to survive against other competition. It's completely bizarre to care this much about passing on your genetic material.

London is a bad city. It is too noisy, too crowded, too big, and too warm. Having been here for most of a year, I've really come to miss my home town (Belfast) which I think is much nicer. I prefer places like Edinburgh and Manchester to London as well.

You don’t have to be all good to not be evil. Just don’t purposely cause harm, otherwise, there is no wrong way to live one’s life.

I don't know if I'd call London too warm, but it's not very interesting. York was my favorite english place. Small but in a good way. In London it was a madhouse where people were literally shoving me aside to see the buckingham palace guards. Like calm down, they're just walking back and forth. also the york/leeds part of england seemed to serve the mushy peas with fish and chips almost by default, which is the superior way.

we live in a society.

No, seriously humans have always live in tribal groups since the beginning of the species. The evolutionary pressure was for the group to survive, not your specific progeny, although of course there was a great deal of overlap there.

Yeah, but Jastiger's thing was that he refused to understand what the word "eugenics" actually means. CrRoMa seems to understand exactly what it is and is all for it.

It was weird because he knew what everyone else considered eugenics, but kept trying to push his own version of it while using the same term. He knew full well how we would take it when he used the term, and it was his way of redirecting the thread when we hadn't spent enough time talking to/about him.

Metal Gear Rising has the best soundtrack of any video game.

That's not my unpopular opinion, literally everyone agree with that. My potentially controversial opinion is that while MGR may have the best soundtrack overall, the best video game song ever is Heaven's Divide

The worst place to live isn’t the big city or a small town. It’s small cities. Worst of both worlds. You have to drive everywhere but there’s traffic. Minimal culture, lack of night life, etc but you also can’t shoot cans or have a bonfire or go fishing. Etc
