And even if you don't have a few of the immutable things here such as the colour of your skin..

These situations could always happen in the future. Your brother can find out he's gay, your parents might get sick with cancer, you might fall in love with an immigrant, climate change will have an effect on you, and so on

Not only that, but any of these could be you too. You might get mental health issues or get physically sick, you might find out something about yourself, even well into adulthood, or lose your job, or face a natural disaster, or any one billion of things that you need support for

Humans are not evolved to be truly independent. We all need, or will need, support.

Other people bagging stuff for you is a thing? I have never seen it in my life in Europe. Unless you have a disability then to me it just seems like adding extra work to the workers for no real purpose

About that... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fox-fred-rogers-evil/

Mr. Rogers had, they claimed, destroyed an entire generation with his liberal notions of entitlement. As the originator of the snowflake concept, he was an "evil, evil man." The show's moderators cited unnamed "experts" and a professor at Louisiana State University.

God I fucking hope so. I'm tired of the war on drugs model copied from the US here in Norway. The very least we can do is also copy the solution

About the only thing that makes sense to me, is that hell is just a purgatory in reality. You're there until you learn from your mistakes

Or alternatively that earth/our universe is the purgatory, which kinda would make sense with why suffering is part of the world. The funny thing is is that it would make earth "hell" in this instance

An understanding of hell that is full of suffering, pain, and hellfires like in the mainstream makes absolutely no sense to me

Really, we should just work towards keeping the world population stable and bring everyone out of poverty

Not that we have to try particularly hard, the population is stabilizing off by itself

We're 8 billion people on the planet, we aren't running out anytime soon

Should you even call something out as a repost when the last time it was posted was 4 years ago?

After all, millions of people have been born and grown up during that time
