Right. I feel like there was a lack of communication here (just from what I gather - I have not been in this situation myself).

I think that communicating with the shelter staff about what is happening would have helped here. They have probably had folks take advantage of them, and so they’ve got to be on guard constantly.

But communicating about what’s going on and allowing trust to develop and grow is what could have potentially prevented something like this from happening.

Meh, people actually aren’t so bad. It just might appear that way in media. Keeping your heart open and compassionate, I’ve come to realize we all have invisible baggage and problems we go through everyday, and the best way to get over and through our obstacles is with others. No one can do life alone.

Idk man kids are weird like that. I’d believe it tbh

Be kind to others and let go of attachments. Have lived a very happy and successful life by doing just those two things.

You’re not attempting to try and understand what the other commenter is trying to communicate, instead making assumptions and jumping to conclusions. That is the definition of arguing in bad faith.

Also, what do you mean by woosh? Were you joking or something? I am not familiar with this term if it’s supposed to mean something.

Why are you arguing in bad faith? That’s obviously not what they meant.

Your opinions and thoughts are shaped by the totality of your experiences. That single conference is just one example. And journalists are not super human- they are human just like me and you; subject to influence and sometimes yielding to “status quo” industry norms.

You don’t need most though. Even 0.001% is plenty. Come on people.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you here, but thought I’d provide a counter argument.

A group of children are dying of a horrible, deadly disease that can only be cured with the bark from a specific tree. So we go into the forest and chop this tree down to save the children from an excruciating disease.

A squirrel had built its entire home in that tree. That tree was everything to the squirrel. Now the squirrel has nothing and will suffer because we chopped down its home.

How do we explain this to the squirrel? Well, we can’t. No matter how hard we try, we can’t explain why we needed to destroy its home. The squirrel is physically incapable of understanding.

Playing devils advocate here, perhaps the reason for the need for human suffering is so beyond our understanding and comprehension that we are just physically incapable of understanding. Maybe we’re just squirrels, and human suffering needs to happen for some greater purpose unbeknownst to us.

This is great advice for anyone tbh.

What do you even mean by this?

Have you tried talking to him about your feelings?

This would be funnier without the literal text explanation and giant red circle

I’m sure if you polled the average American they would not agree that “America is better than the rest of the world “. Maybe 20-30 years ago that might have been true.

Sometimes I read certain comments that get me thinking. Are you really this dense? Or are you trying to get a rise out of people?

OBVIOUSLY they didn’t file for litigation themselves my lord
