When faced with a moral quandary, always pick the option highlighted in blue - actions highlighted in orange will give you negative karma.

AcidCat posted:(Self-centred rant.) OP, only the ignorant attempt to categorise certain people as "good". It's not for man to judge. However some people do make an effort, at least part of the time, to be better people, which includes considering others. Psychopaths, aka sociopaths, and assholes generally will of course disagres. And based on what you wrote, you are clearly a sociopath and or a real rear end in a top hat. I have no interest in your response as it will be more rantings from a diseased individual. You will feel obliged to make one here anyway, since silence for you is intolerable, it gives you a creeping realisation of just how hosed up you've become from your choices. Karma is unavoidable, and there will be a lot coming your way, if you choose to live long enough. Wishing you all self knowledge and attraction to the light. And the justice you deserve.

coward OP left their roast early "Good" is such a meaningless descriptor for a person anyway. We're all idiot corks bobbing around on a piss ocean of events that we have very little control over. We got gut flora who can tell us what mood we're in. We're inundated constantly with narratives that drive us to act against our own best interests. sometimes though we fart out actions that are kind or constructive or bigger than ourselves, and that is pretty good. e: the effect of OP's karma is that all of us in samsara have to be incarnate with posts like this thread

Cosmic Thing posted:i mean sure gen x is known for its apathy, but i think gen xers had WAAAAAAAAAAY more empathy than the current generation. we are living in the age of narcissists now... but that makes sense.. their parents are the gen exers. It's really strange that this forum full of Gen X people routinely inflates their worthless generation as both morally superior to the hated Boomer and also the hated Millennial. "No no no you see being the generation of Ok Soda was actually a noble existence that meant something I mean nothing."

Wow you open your wallet when you're supposed to and care about your kids. You're supposed to do that you don't get a cookie. "I'd do anything for my kids and family" sounds like the thinly veiled threats of someone with fantasies of violence just saying. People who actually care about and love their family don't broadcast stuff like that. Only weird Christian psychos who own camo and bow-hunt say that kind of poo poo.

This thread actually made me think about something that happened a few years ago. I don't know why. I was in a supermarket getting lunch and I was standing behind an old lady who had just rung up a large box of groceries. She obviously couldn't take it out to her car boot herself so I offered to do it. Her and the girl working the checkout seemed completely taken aback by this. I didn't know her, I was a stranger and I didn't work there. I understand at one time this would have been considered normal behaviour. In fact, maybe something that would have been expected. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the last few decades it has sort of become unpopular to be a good person.

Valko posted:I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the last few decades it has sort of become unpopular to be a good person. Yeah I don't get this thing that it's popular to be a good human being now. I sure don't see it. And you did good for that small task of helping someone who needed it. I always wanted to do go things or at least something to help other people. I was a firefighter, EMT, I'm a volunteer at a disaster response organization to help people at their worst, I help get food ready for needy people at a church (I'm not a christian) sometimes. A month or two ago a tiny old woman asked me to help move things into her car at Costco. I do it. It's really easy to do the most basic of things that everyone should do. It just feels like the right thing to do.  Not being a dick is all that I ask for people these days. That's the most I can hope for. I truly do have hate in my heart for people like Trump supporters, but I hate them because they're filled with hate towards so many others. So that's a battle I'm not winning. By their extreme hatred they are creating hate in me. That's unfortunate. Who gives a poo poo what's popular and what isn't (being good is not popular). Just try to be good to other people around you. You can change someone's day just by being polite. Here's a dumb story where being just a decent person was beneficial. I remember I was drunk and ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut one time and I (thought I) ordered a pepperoni stuffed crust pizza and I got a plain cheese pizza. I called up the store super pissed off, which is unlike me, but I wanted my god damned pizza right and gently caress them for screwing it up. The guy kept saying that was the order that was sent in and I was like "Oh yeah?! Well let me check my receipt!" He was right. I didn't save my set up when I placed my order and so it was just the default. I apologized for the error and for being a dick. This is what he said. "NO ONE apologizes to me and I have to put up with this poo poo every night. I'm sending you the pizza you wanted for free as soon as I can make it." I said, man you don't have to do that, I hosed up. But he was adamant so I said I'd give the driver a huge rear end tip. I don't really know what this has to do with anything, but just the basic practice of being nice to other people is being a "good person." First rule to being a good person: don't be a dick.

The Walrus posted:How does an lsd hippie turn into whatever op is now Because identical to most lsd hippies he never gave a poo poo about anything at all except really dumb crap about music tribalism? He's just a hedonistic loser who dressed up his being a hedonistic loserism as some kind of cool rebellion, and is extremely mad that this doesn't make him cool to anyone anymore. Def betting his kids consider him a lame old fart and it's breaking his heart more than climate change ever will.

Sitting Here posted:"Good" is such a meaningless descriptor for a person anyway. I disagree. I could be stealing from my roomates, murdering people in my free time (that would be a lot of murders), or going out to bars and looking to start a fight. There are a lot of ways to be an overall detractor or bad person, and I consider myself at least a decent if not good person by not partaking in those activities.

When you actually stop to think about it, it seems better that the idea of "being good" ie: respecting other humans - ohmygod I just realized op is just another moron whining about SJWs Anyway OP I think it's better that people are striving to be seen as "good people" to be popular, as opposed to having them be considered popular just because they listen to certain bands Seems like an upgrade to me

"Good" is a very useful descriptor in the same way "evil" is a very useful descriptor and I'm very comfortable calling certain people evil It's not like I believe in some universal actual good and evil forces like some dungeons and dragons poo poo it's just a really good shorthand that most people seem to understand. People who are more concerned with being pedantic about it not ~actually existing~ are incredibly tiresome. I used to be one of those people and it was a terrible waste of my time and everyone else's time. There's still a lot of other lovely things to hammer out about myself but I'm glad I got that one out at least
