The killings of Native Americans in the US can absolutely be called a genocide. The use of nuclear weapons in Japan was a horrible act of war that killed so many people, but it is by definition not a genocide. Calling it one dilutes the meaning of the word genocide. Using the right words and definitions when talking about tragedies of war is not denial of said atrocities.

Look I'm all for taxing the wealthy, but saying we should force billionaires, or really anyone for that matter, to give up everything more than $60k/year is fucking laughably insane.

"Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!"

Wow. Those are some truly bad takes.

Man now I want bbq. Imma have to get some for dinner tonight.

Are you really trying to say The Shawshank Redemption and Forest Gump are just "meh"?

They Shall Not Grow Old, and the bonus "making of", is an incredible WW1 documentary and one of my favorite documentaries I've ever seen.

As a veterinary student, I'd say you really can't trust anything from pet store employees regardless of species. As part of our nutrition rotation we go to pet stores and pretend to be new first time dog owners and ask for recommendations on food. The "advice" I've heard has been horrifying at times.

This is an X parrot!

I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned so far, but DougDoug is my favorite YouTuber/streamer. He has some of the most creative and entertaining videos of any currently active content creator imho.

Just drink less?

The main reason I'm not interested in practicing on exotics, even though I love them, is because they hide their illnesses so well. It feels like by the they're sick enough for an owner to notice and bring them in, 9/10 the prognosis is so grave they're euthanized on presentation or die a few days later.

I absolutely hated them untill suddenly one day I loved them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She can afford to live in a castle, and she wants to live in a castle. There's no need to say she has to feel guilty because other people can't live in a castle. Unless you're the unluckiest person alive, there's always going to be people who aren't as fortunate than you. In her case it's easy to point a finger because it's a castle, but honestly where's the cutoff? Should she feel guilty if she had instead chosen to live in a less expensive but still large and nice house? What about if she lived in a modest one? She still has a house and those other people still don't. Should she feel guilty because she can afford fine dining while many people can't afford to eat? What if she chose to eat only fast food? There's still other people that can't afford to eat regardless of the quality of food she chooses.

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about how she uses her money outside of what's presented in this meme. She absolutely has the kind of wealth where it would be morally responsible of her to use some of it to help others less fortunate. Maybe she does that already, maybe not. I don't know.

If she doesn't then yeah, maybe there would be a reason for her to feel guilty; but even then I wouldn't say she for sure should. But for the sake of argument let's say she does regularly contribute to charities. Should she still feel guilty about living in a castle? She's already contributing, but she could contribute more if she didn't live in a castle. But that begs the question, how much should she have to contribute? If she still has enough money left over to live in luxury should she feel guilty? I'd argue not.

This man is so completely made of straw that I'm struggling to understand who you're even trying to represent with it.

Look at Mr big man over here with triple digits in the bank

Get over yourself man, just let people be happy. It's okay to have nice things, you don't have to feel guilty about it unless you did something wrong to get it.
