Isn't that personification not empathy? Like you're not understanding it's feelings, but giving it feeling. I think it can be moral to attempt to fix the coffee maker. It also sounds emotionally exhausting (for me) to care that much about something that has no agency of it's own.

Some friendly pushback to help me understand, overfishing doesn't directly effect me, I don't eat fish, I don't live near the ocean. But I'd say it has lots of indirect effects on me. Incentive structures still promote overfishing. What do? What does force mean? Is changing the incentive structure force? Is fines for overfishing, or losing your commercial fishing license force?

(P.S. is know nothing about fishing, this is just to help frame my questions)

To me empathy is a social connection where feeling aren't just being heard, but understood. I'm finding it difficult to understand how that could apply to an object, so what's your definition of empathy?

Don't just tease me like this, what's the objective standard? And like I'm totally following along, but i still want to know what the disagreements are.

I just like ethics and want to hear what you think.

So what I'm not understanding is, why are we putting people in jail for something that isn't causing harm? Unless, is there something about overstaying your visa that is harmful?

In terms of nations, I really have no idea what 3.5 billion means. Like is that a lot? I feel like we probably trade that much with China in like what, a week? A month, a day?

I'm lucky enough to I've around a couple of really good local creameries, and they have some amazing cheeses (Mooncake by sugar house creamery is my favorite). But a couple of years ago I became lactose intolerant. Cabot cheddar doesn't bother me, but most other cheeses do. At least I can still eat as much goat cheese as I want.

I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

So like, is Ween not on here because they're off the charts horny?

Really sucks Cabot has gotten so expensive from the terrifs, it's so much better than the store brand stuff.

I wouldn't be angry if we got a little more serious and started doing this to ICE vehicles

It did matter, making them take measurements all over again was the part that fucked with them.
