It could simply mean he checked his public social media and knew where he would go. Social “engineering” can be as simple as a web search.

Do some people here not realize that if we start allowing this kind of extra-judiciary assassinations, it’s not only going to happen to who you think are the bad guys? Next one could be an opposition party leader or the spokesperson of a minority defense non-profit.

On the surface for some people, it’s just voting for people who they think are not going to add restrictions on their daily lives, which comes way before ecology or the wellbeing of strangers, when you struggle. It’s the end of the month vs end of the world dilemma that right populism seems to utilize better than left populism.

Because things are getting more worrying on a global scale (economical slow down, ecological crisis and wars) and the usual human reflexes are conservatism and blaming the people who are different. I think progressive ideas rather spread in times of peace and prosperity, or after catastrophic events like WW2.

You just haven’t met your hole yet.

We also have the people complaining about things not being deep enough, how many years left?

What if your relationship partner got badly sick and becomes more of a weight than before? Should you disregard what you have lived together because it is accrued and leave them because it is going to get worse in the future?

Yes, that’s a good example for something that follows the rational use case. But let’s not take a toxic relationship extreme, I think in the case of a human relationship, the sunk cost may sometimes positivly contribute to the affection/intimacy/love. The sunk cost created memories, habits, foundations for a relationship that you cannot just suddenly ignore and only look at what comes in the future.
I think one must be careful about applying rational principles telling you to not listen to your emotions to subjects where reason doesn’t play the main role.

I wonder if the sunk cost fallacy is valid for a situation where emotions is a requirement, for example a human relationship.

Anyone who tries to express themselves politely and rationally is welcomed.

I’m a right winger and that doesn’t affect me nearly as much as the far left communities of Lemmy users.

I am surprised that you have survived this long. I am rather moderate left, and even after blocking the main extreme left instances, I still question my presence when I see the amount of far left populism that gets acclaimed here.

The second is probably the main argument.

Same shit happened to the swastika. It comes from Hinduism, still widely used there, in the West it also used to be a symbol of good luck before the 30’. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

I thought it came from 4chan, but it actually comes from Myspace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog

You can develop those subjects irl too, for example by joining a local non profit that focuses on something that you like. I think it’s the best way to go through this difficult period.

Maybe you can develop new circles without having to cut existing ones, like joining some club or non profit about subjects that you like.

Maybe you could disconnect and focus on your irl circle for a while.
