It's not that dangerous, I only get stabbed once, maybe twice, when I get groceries, and usually they don't even nick an organ.

This is annectdotal but I twice tried branching out recently to other retailers, both times they said they delivered my package and they did not. Trying to get help from them is like pulling teeth.

I rarely have a problem with Amazon and the few times I did I was given a refund pretty much immediately.

It makes it hard to switch when the difference in service is so drastic =/

More importantly, are they a lifeforms that we would even recognize as alive? The chances of an alien being humanoid are even slimmer. Then there's whether they develop intelligence, whether they care about space, and whether they survive long enough to get anywhere.

I'm doing the least social media I've done since Facebook became a thing and now I realize that without those emotions I'm just kind of bored.

And you're not obliged to. There's nothing immoral about not going out of your way to help people especially at risk to yourself.

While they are people and should be treated with dignity and not like animals, they are still people and like any stranger can be dangerous and unpredictable, especially in desperation.

Not to mention at least near where I live about a third of the homeless are mentally ill due to the state's incapacity to care for such people.

I've started getting angry when people declare that they refuse to give money to people begging because they'll just use it on drugs. More because of how frequently it comes up.

They aren't obliged to help anyone but just assuming every homeless person is a drug addict is so condescending.

And even if they were they are still a person and the money they beg for will is some part contribute to feeding them. You can't subsist off of drugs.

I see the same people burn money on the dumbest shit but act like giving money to homeless people is a sin against God.

Idk. I feel mentally healthier off social media. But its been around since I was in high school and I have no idea how to socialize with people outside my immediate circle now. My social muscles have atrophied.

To be fair, the genocide did not cause a world war. The invasion of surrounding countries did.

The world was uncomfortable chill with genocide before that.

I think the kind of person who would want to benefit the masses would be someone who wouldn't seek power.

Would be a fun experiment to just force temporary authority on people randomly.

Even then people will create pseudo races to discriminate. Just look at Rwanda and Burundi. Hutu and Tutsi are not even genetically distinct, yet a huge war between the two broke out along the lines of "race".
