NTBB I beg you! Please someone help me with this massive global macro-ethical problem. Ethics on Cosmic Scale and the Great Filter.

I figured out the following:

Premise 1: The evolution of life on exoplanets or solar system ice moons is a morally significant event.

Premise 2: The possible outcomes of evolution on these celestial bodies are numerous and varied.

Premise 3: The range of possible outcomes in terms of well-being or suffering is extremely large.

Premise 4: Near-future microbial contamination of planets is likely to result in a sub-optimal or negative outcome for an enormous number of animals, leading to widespread suffering.

Conclusion: Therefore, humanity has a moral obligation to exercise restraint and prevent interplanetary and interstellar forward contamination for many years, lest it forfeit its moral justification for continued existence, since the astronomical suffering at stake may never be possible to compensate afterward anymore, as per the trolley problem.

Meanwhile, the space industry globally is still growing exponentially, which is intolerable.

NTBB the kid's book I was working on for a year and released a month ago has officially sold over 100 copies!

This was a project I'd been working on for a little over a year, and was just happy to finally get over the finish line with it, so didn't know how much I had left in the tank for marketing. But it's been awesome to see that people were and are interested!

I know 100 copies isn't huge, but it's pretty cool to me

26/F - I don’t like to brag to friends or family, but I’m doing fantastic in life. Please listen!

Hi all!

I grew up in a low income household, with a single parent. At times we had no money, and even had to move in with grandparents (that was lucky). But I never complained, I worked so fkkkkn hard. I looked cold to a lot of my family, uncaring. I was protecting myself.

Now I’m 26. And my life isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty great. I’m so proud of my accomplishments and my ability to put full faith in myself and rely on myself.

I moved away from home at 17. I picked up 2 jobs, and an undergraduate degree, tons of student debt… in the most expensive city in the country. I struggled so hard financially, I even turned to methods of making work that were…odd.

Look at me now. I live in a beautiful apartment with the love of my life. I work full time managing a team of 10 in my dream industry! I am consulting on the side! Both my jobs I’m no where near qualified for on paper…but I work hard and I prove myself to everyone I meet. I have 3 degrees! I am so young and I did it.

I am successful.

My version of success doesn’t quite yet make 6 figures, but I will. I have 40k in debt from student loans.

BUT My version of succes has a cute home, and a cute partner and does respectful work. I don’t worry about my bills. I can go to a nice dinner if I want.

I’m killing it.

NTBB for the first time in the 4 years my gf (43f) and I (46m) have been making online “content” & been in the swinging lifestyle… I had fans reach out and “solicit” me

I’ve hosted maybe 7-8 MFM threesomes, meant to be a special “fantasy night” for my GF. God bless her, she’s managed to arrange 3 for me. NBD, it’s not a competition and, quite frankly, I enjoy seeing her spoiled and pleased more than anything in this world.

Every week I get tons of DM‘s from single guys want to chat with her, hook up with her or some videos, etc. I love it! Definitely a source of pride for me.

But this week a couple reached out because they’ve seen our videos, and they were hoping I could join them to for fill their MFM fantasy! I told them I don’t play without my girlfriend and they are fine actually! It’s the first time I feel like I’m not just “the guy with the cock” in HER videos (don’t misunderstand me… I LOVE that role lol).

I’m not unrealistic about the fact that, at 46 years old, my stock isn’t exactly “rising“ lol. My girlfriend is so excited about this. She’s the reason I have any self-confidence at all. She builds me up all the time. Four years ago, she met a guy who was really down on himself. Just a few years that same guys comfortable posting sex videos online, and apparently exudes enough confidence that a couple would seek out my help to fulfill a fantasy.

Anyway, it’s a good feeling 😀

I am genuinely doing well for the first time in my life :D

my entire life i have had a constant horrible struggle with undiagnosed adhd and deppression. Even as a little kid i was down right miserable and clouded in self hatred as depresing as that is. Within the past 5 or so years i have been getting treatment and been diagnosed, this includes therapy regularly and medications. I have finally found the perfect med combo which isn't new to me but my entire family who also struggles (its mainly caused by genetics). I just feel so great and HUMAN as weird as that sounds. I finally feel worthy of having basic rights and needs or even just to be allowed to exist without any self doubt. On top of that, i'm in a happy relationship, doing well in school, and even have the opportunity to make my sister's wedding dress! I am just so glad and i want people to know that it does get so so so much better. Even if you think you can't or that it's just a common phrase thrown around, it's true. I always wondered what it would be like to be "normal" and lemme tell you, it's better than i could have ever dreamed. To anyone reading this: you are loved and just as important and worthy as everybody else, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise. :)

NTBB I shined my spine and made my bf stop yelling while playing ps4, made a successful compromise

My original post on AIYA https://tinyurl.com/yae938g4

TLDR of original: My boyfriend's COD war screams filled the living room to an extent that it was extremely bothersome, he did not want to reduce the vocal volume and claimed he can yell if he wants because he lives here and I just have take it because I don't do anything that bothers him, he doesn't complain and logic is an illusion.

I wrote about it in the comments but the situation has developed further, and I am so proud of myself because I decided to be more mature, take inspiration from "why men love bitches" and I DID SOMETHING AND IT'S WORKING. See, not all millennials just give up on relationships, screw you boomers :)

So. I explained to him that although me having headphones helps, and previously when we lived in smaller apartments it's something I just had to live with and that was fine, his noise basically makes it so that he is occupying the entire living room and kitchen, because all you can hear is his yelling, and while I'm watching videos with headphones it's fine, but when my mother calls she (and I for that matter) can hear him screaming in the background, I would have to hide away in the bedroom but when I want to go make myself tea or fold laundry while I'm talking to her, then it becomes unfair because I can't be in there because of the noise. BUT. We have a spare room that we couldn't decide what to do with, especially cause we wanted it be fair, and I don't want to end up being in separate rooms all day because I need love and attention and we love each other n stuff and also bad childhood memories of everyone being in different rooms.

SO

I gave him an ultimatum as follows, choose one of three:

  1. Stop yelling (haha, right)
  2. Set yourself set up in the spare room
  3. Keep yelling, and when you do I will leave and go for a walk or go drink tea with my mommykins.

I added that when he's playing by himself and not yelling, he should leave the door open, and that will let me know that it's safe to come and cuddle (I require A LOT of cuddling) but if the door is closed, then I know it's gonna be noisy and that I won't wanna come in. I'm all for video games but I just don't like yelling. I made sure to mention that it'll actually be better for him because there's blackout blinds in there so it'll be better for him when he plays during the day, and I said I will help him to move stuff and clean up after my renovation project I did in there. I helped him find the apple airport tower thing we have lying around to get the wifi connection in there, and although he tried to be a little bitch about it for a second and said "right so everything has to be like, controlled and calculated or whatever, right?" and "Oh well if you wanna leave that's like, up to you" Thank you captain obvious, thank you for saying my choice is mine :P but anyway eventually he came around, I was completely calm and collected and matter of factly the whole time so he had no reason to get defensive, he just looked like a scolded child, but quickly he was researching how to set up the wifi thing and discussing where stuff should go.

Honestly I think I'm getting used to this ebb and flow, when I bought a second freezer-fridge he was like "what a waste, so much money, so unnecessary, we don't need it, you should return it"

*one week later*

"Hey you know what, this second fridge is great, especially now that we can't get takeout, now I can freeze my bread and we have more space for drinks and ice" captain obvious strikes again!

I also added that from now, until we have him set up in the spare room, if he yells too much, I am GOING OUT to ANYWHERE BUT HERE away from yelling. AND YA KNOW WHATTTT?

He's being so quiet. I mean, he's talking. But not yelling. His previous "NNNNOOOOOO!!!!" is now a "noooo(!)" SEE I FUCKING KNEW YOU WERE CAPABLE YOU JUVENILE WALNUT.

I've also decided, when he tries to combat my "complaints" with his own complaints that he's never ever mentioned until that very moment that I try to speak up, I'm going to use my skills from rehab, take out a post-it and write:

When you do thing, I feel feeling, because reason

and then I will write down his complaint in the same format, on another post-it, I will ask him how he feels when I do the thing he's mentioned (usually the answer is "it doesn't bother me but like, you do that" he's talking about when I make a mess in an area he doesn't use or look at and it doesn't affect him, but he has no other ammo) and I will put the post it on the closest surface, and address that as a separate issue, and now that it's written down, we can talk about it when we're done talking about my thing and address each problem separately and try to come up with a logical/practical solution/compromise. YOU CAN SQUIRM BUT MY SPINE IS SHINY AND I'M NOT GIVING UP. I was r/raisedbynarcs. You think THIS is a fight? You have NO IDEA WHAT I CAN HANDLE AMIGO. Straight up raspberries.

So to those who commented before saying we're both childish. I know. We're millenials. Life is hard. Quarantine is hard. Communication is hard. Feelings are not always logical. But I hope this has redeemed me some, I just needed to chill. Nicotine withdrawal ain't fucking around. I love this stupid idiot and I've told him before that I'm more likely to murder him than leave him so he better just put up with me and learn to behave :) and you know what? I think he's happier and likes me a little more. I guess men really DO love bitches :)

His mom may have fucked up, but she had her reasons. I can blame her and give up, or I can be the bigger man and do the right thing and grow as a person as well. I wouldn't want him to give up on me, so I won't give up on him just yet. I love my tiny gorilla man.

(NTBB)Not to brag, but...

I can type at 156 words per minute. This is a weird flex, I know. My average is usually in the late 80's, mid 90's, or early 100's, but if I really push myself then I can type at 156 WPM.

Not to brag, but I lost 100+ pounds in just over a year.

Diet and exercise.. whole grain breakfast every morning and a gallon of water throughout the day, and walking/running 30 minutes a day.

Yes, I used to hate people that said “diet and exercise”. But damn if it didn’t work for me.
