I like thought provoking philosophical or controversial topics. critical thinking, robust debate, and testing the strengths of arguments and ideas. I love to uncover weaknesses, biases, blind spots or flaws in existing beliefs or arguments, both in myself and others to gain a better understanding of ourselves. I aim for empathy, constructive commentary and respect for other people’s opinions, as an alternative to attacks. Here for self-reflection and - also - cat memes.

  • I have multiple accounts on different instances with different usernames. I wouldn’t blink an eye if I lost my post and comment history as I keep a local copy of posts and comments I like and move on. Would love to see a transfer option, but there is something special about packing up and starting over again where no one knows my name or has some preconceived notion about who I am as a person because I wrote an opinion they did not like.








  • I am very new to kbin, and have not figured out how to get that link to bring me back to kbin so that I can login and comment without making an account in lemmy.world. A lot of the points mentioned in that thread suggest taking a higher ground. Before I stepped into this thread I definitely was for razing them to the ground and rallying to create hell - but the mixture of positive vibes here as mellowed me out. In reddit, people who disagreed in mass would have been downvoted into oblivion and I would have only saw people who swung one way or another, but here I really get to see the perspective of multiple people. It’s refreshing.









  • You say prepubescent child - pubescent children are still children, anything to do with a real child under the age of consent is a child. If you are an adult that looks like you are under the age of consent, should you not be OK with your sexuality? I struggle with my sexuality because people mistake me for a teen, but that is my hang up and I would not condemn others for embracing their body. Unless - are you suggesting that it is only bad if it resembles a prepubescent child?
