No, you made me smile by posting this meme. This counts as contributing, sorry mate.

[–] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Okay, but I got angry at it, so now OP and society are even.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"Society" is blindly going to kill the fucking planet, so this probably makes you a True Neutral.

If I don't make it, tell my wife..."Hello."

[–] jjagaimo@lemmy.ca 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why do we only have to contribute to society

How do I take from society

[–] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 7 months ago

Be born into the 1%

Oh, sorry

At this point, I consider not contributing to society rather than contributing negatively to society a win.

[–] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago

That's absolutely right and it's a good principle to live by. I have a long way to go, but my core moral is similar: if I can't try to help someone, then at least I don't have to try to harm them. This "passive" alternative is sometimes obscured by false dichotomies, that every choice must be divided between positive or negative.

I only contribute to things I like.

I like Lemmy...

And that's about it.

[–] LavaPlanet@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Contribute to society, or do they really mean optimal funnelling of the profits from your labour up to the rich?

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

I have a long day of doing literally nothing ahead of me.

Why are you sleeping with an iPhone 4s that’s turned on?

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I don't use an iphone 🤮 but sometimes I leave tiktok open accidentally 🤭

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Fuck society
