I’m a professional stoner and a cpl dabs isn’t much. Come on now, it doesn’t last that long.

The point of empathy is to _reduce suffering_. That's the point. The point is to be good. If you don't find a point in feeling like shit for doing shitty things, what is the point? Just hedonistically grinding your way through life fucking people over for whatever carnal or base pleasures causes you to just "ride things out" until someone catches up to you? And if the karma doesn't catchup?

When you do something unethical and no one is watching, there IS someone watching, and it's not god or some higher power, it's YOU. When you do fucked up things, you change who you are as a person. You allow yourself to marinate in the harm of others as an acceptable trade off for whatever incidental rewards you receive for the time being. You end up a different person. My argument is that you harm yourself when you harm others, you just don't totally feel it at the moment.

I'm not going to tell you that karma will catch up to you, because I've lived long enough to know that terrible things don't always happen to terrible peop.e. Some terrible people live long and get away with everything. But I can tell you, for the most part, I have not met many terrible people who were happy being terrible people. They're always acting in a way that seems insecure, attention-seeking, paranoid, or base. It's no way to live, man. You sound young, so none of this has made its mark. But someday it will.

That wall of text punches harder than a drunk dad does.

There’s a lot of dumbasses driving not being buzzed. Way too many

He could have done the same thing without being stoned. It happens. The op could have had something going on and just wasn’t thing at the time. A cpl dabs isn’t shit. Just think of all the drunks that are on the road. Weed is not as bad as alcohol. And the bonus is you don’t act a fool and be a total dick smoking pot or doing a cpl dabs

Can you elaborate?

My ex was one. It was fun because I had very well meaning gay men "coming to me as a friend" because he couldn't even bother to NOT try to hook up with people we both know. Multiple times.

It's from Friends. Ross gets a spray tan but ends up getting sprayed on the front four times.

Why make this specifically about Muslims though? They're all cults. Say if the Abrahamic religions had never existed until today, and someone started preaching about them in 2023, almost everyone would think they were insane cults.

The only difference between the "old guard" religions and the modern ones is that people were a lot easier to fool back in ancient times, so they gained traction.

What?

Hmmm then what about flying? She flew all the way there from Singapore so maybe they can take a $300 flight or however much it is to Mexico City?

I counted to five Mississippily.

Mississippily? No, I just said to count to five.

Non-Mississippily?

by that logic, all religions are cults

I mean yeah it’s not great, but I drove from San Antonio, TX to Los Angeles, CA (18 hours) for a vacation and it wasn’t anywhere near impossible. Just seems like the thing to do for sentimental stuff

It's a 20 hour drive each way. It's like 100 miles longer than driving from Chicago to New York.

Well, me being the one who normally takes at least half a year to get any sort of recall addressed in my car, know that you're in good company.

Hey, OP. I’m sorry you’re going through this, and I imagine this is incredibly overwhelming. Do you have a close friend you can share this with? Maybe someone you can stay with? It might be good for you to figure out a game plan of sorts ahead of talking to you boyfriend. I’d hate to be stuck in the same place as my cheating ex after the truth is spilled.

Flip the bishop..stealing that lol

That fucking sucks. Not at all you fault, that was a lovely thing you did and you deserve someone better

Don't think of it as 3 years lost - it is 10-15 years gained.

Piss easy decision. Just break up and tell him he is scum, like he is.

I almost did it a week or two ago. Luckily it made a noise and slid partially out of my tank so I stopped before it pulled too much.
