There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

That everyone should live in a way that minimizes the harm done to others. In practice this means I am always compromising my needs for others.
Can you give an example of how this played out irl?
The big one is my career. I was an environmental geologist. I cleaned up petroleum contaminated sites. That's at least in theory. The reality was that all I did was help big oil corporations free themselves of legal liability and not really clean up anything. I couldn't do it anymore and now I work a service job that wastes my talents but doesn't make the world worse.
Is there any way you could provide expert witness services for environmental organizations or something like that? I'm sorry to hear that man, its so much easier to just be a shithead unfortunately. We'll all find out the fruits of that state of play quite soon anyway.
So much fucking around with too little finding out
