But I am indirectly affected greatly by overfishing and directly by the overall health of the oceans. The health of the environment directly effects me. So shouldn’t I also have some say in the health of the environment?

I think maybe I’m quibbling over word nuance.

Maybe I’ve got an odd take on it, or we’re saying the same thing. Like humans as a whole should definitely try to be more empathetic in their lives. Being more empathetic is something I’m working on a lot myself right now. i don’t think empathy is about “Feeling what someone else would feel if you were in their situation”. I say that because everyones experience of life is different, some people feel pain more than others, or social pressures, or hunger, or whatever. What I mean is that we experience the world uniquely, and empathy is coming to understand the unique experience of others. As in it’s not how I would experience their situation, but how they are experiencing their situation. And a coffee maker has no experience. But maybe I’m talking about something other than empathy

Isn’t that personification not empathy? Like you’re not understanding it’s feelings, but giving it feeling. I think it can be moral to attempt to fix the coffee maker. It also sounds emotionally exhausting (for me) to care that much about something that has no agency of it’s own.

Some friendly pushback to help me understand, overfishing doesn’t directly effect me, I don’t eat fish, I don’t live near the ocean. But I’d say it has lots of indirect effects on me. Incentive structures still promote overfishing. What do? What does force mean? Is changing the incentive structure force? Is fines for overfishing, or losing your commercial fishing license force?

(P.S. is know nothing about fishing, this is just to help frame my questions)

To me empathy is a social connection where feeling aren’t just being heard, but understood. I’m finding it difficult to understand how that could apply to an object, so what’s your definition of empathy?

Don’t just tease me like this, what’s the objective standard? And like I’m totally following along, but i still want to know what the disagreements are.

I just like ethics and want to hear what you think.

I’m gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

So like, is Ween not on here because they’re off the charts horny?

I feel like creator content isn’t about quality, but form. People watch the same TV shows from decades ago because they are familiar. Creator content is kinda like that, it’s cozy. It’s something you can just put on and zone out to. It’s interesting and entertaining, but it’s not very intense. Its usually people sharing their passions, so it feels very human and relatable too.

But also there’s probably something to be said about how much it cost to get started on YouTube vs how much it cost to produce a TV show or movie.

Those get clogged up on pre patinad copper unfortunately, and a sharpie does not work well on black prefa unless you are trying to hide a scratch. sharpie also doesn’t always wipe off well.

When I was doing roofing the pica dry mechanical pencils made things so much better. Sure a pencil works good on wood, but what about when I have to mark gray sheet metal? You need something that comes with different colors.

My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.

I can’t say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don’t even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!

I don’t really have a problem with this. I paid for a lifetime quite a long time ago. Right now I only use Plex for plexamp and everything else is on jellyfin.

Is finamp at a point that it can replace plexamp yet?

I think the word you’re looking for is deepity.
