If you suffered in life and want others to suffer because you turned out fine - you in fact, did not turn out fine.
@VeroniqueB99 I overheard a coworker use this logic re: smoking during pregnancy. 😬
@kimlockhartga I'm not surprised, it's being use for anything and everything NONE of it justifiable....that's a great example.

Why does nobody ever point out that the real solution to the trolley problem is to smack the person proposing it in the face?

@khoji @RnDanger πŸ‘

I think the big problem is no one dares. Everyone just accepts 'the conditions' no questions asked.

@khoji @RnDanger @VeroniqueB99 "Find and stop the lunatic who keeps tying people to the tracks" also feels like a valid option.
@VeroniqueB99 That's what academia does to its students. It's insane.
@Scienceisnotopinions ...and not just academia either...
@VeroniqueB99 basically every doctor’s feeling about medical students

@VeroniqueB99 Stars but this bears repeating over and over and over.
@jaycie It does. Over and over and over!πŸ‘

@VeroniqueB99 There was a tiny twinge of hurt when I found out my grandma left us kids NOTHING.

but reality immediately asserted itself to remind me that her oldest daughter needed lots of help, and my dad left us in a good place, and that aunt put in DECADES of work to ensure she could die at home.

I think my aunt and cousins were shocked when I was like, no that's fine, let me know when you're ready to buy out my share of the house. Whenever. It's fine. What, I'ma move to San Rafael??

@VeroniqueB99 ? What is that emoji supposed to convey here?

My dad's dying wish was that whatever happened, he didn't want anyone to be embroiled in any lawsuits on his behalf. He died young but he knew the surgery was risky.

So we've all carried his wishes forward since. What is there to fight about? People have reasons. You feel your private feelings and move along.

@pelielios you misunderstood my intention. I was sorry for this is all. Found it a sad story. Could've put this one instead. πŸ™
