Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

killing humans is never the answer. it devolves you into something worse than youre trying to combat because you, presumably have a choice.
dont be that person
Don't use the words never or always. It rarely leads to an accurate statement
I think it makes sense to use violence against people committing genocide, for example
violence is a last resort, i just forgot how many pedants exist
words have meaning, sometimes it is important to be precise
mostly not though
Committing as in physically committing, sure.
Consciously I know that. But having lived under cruelty for many years I cant compute it emotionally in this case. The amount of cruelty needed to drive someone to suicide (not saying its always like this) is just not bearable for me.
That’s basically tautological. That which is not bearable is that which drives a person to suicide.
No idea what you‘re talking about.
Nobody can really say what drives a person to suicide but afaik, it is a culmination of things:
Having hardship but still having friends and family to combat it or a positive perspective on life might save someone.
But leaving someone who already spent effort to help others in particular need - likely having a history of spousal abuse themselves - ridiculing them which drives them to suicide is beyond cruel imo.
Thats why I‘m pretty devoid of empathy towards the people responsible.
What if you are in a war or being attacked or something
cmon, you know what this is about. dont be a pedant
I don't know what you mean, that's why I'm asking
killing humans is [almost] never the answer. it devolves you into something worse than youre trying to combat because you, presumably have a choice.

That makes more sense
Humans are no better than the meat you eat and many of them are worse.
