What do racist have to do with school shootings?

drones can soar through school halls at 100 mph [...] and can fly through double-paned glass

Ah yes, let's fly a deadly projectile through the hallway ... maybe shatter some glass for extra shrapnel. What could go wrong?

Yeah, lemmy is a pretty extreme bubble. Hopefully things improve as it gets bigger, but it will be a while.

For now you'll just have to avoid any "controversial" takes on topics lemmy is obsessed with ... or use throw away accounts.

When my cat is trying to take a poop in the litter box, it will first dig a hole. But then instead of shitting into the hole like a normal cat, it will just stand in the hole with the front-paws and shit somewhere in a 360° radius around the hole. That radius is often outside the litter box.

Russia is literally the reason they are considering joining NATO, so no.

around 400 counter protesters

That's how many signed up. Only 35 actually showed up.

So if your personal morals align with Hitler, does that make it okay to be a nazi?

Whether or not something is ok is a moral judgement, so it again depends on who you ask. A nazi will of course think it's ok ... that's probably why they are a nazi. If you asked me personally, I think it's not ok.

I believe The Dude who lived a perfect life, was crucified, then rose from the dead is God.

Right. But we haven't heard of him in a while, so it's kind of hard to consult with him on moral issues. And his book isn't that comprehensive, contains some rather questionable takes and also is not really keeping up with a lot of more modern moral issues. Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the "correct" one. So in the end it's still up to you to decide which interpretation you like best.

I would have assumed that everyone that was going back to the office would have done so a while ago ... like in 2022.

So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?

That is really up to you. Whomever your personal morals align with the most. Or don't listen to anyone and just rely on your own morals.

Basing your morals on "god" is just kicking the can down the road. First of all ... which god? There is hundreds of them. And even if people agree on the god, they disagree on the interpretation of the morals (for some reason gods tend to be super ambiguous and imprecise). So you're still left with the questions "So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?". It answers nothing.

Really all you did was to restrict potential sources of morality to mythical fiction.

... who talked about fight Club?

Depends on who you ask. If you ask the Nazis they'll say it's ok. The people they took over would probably disagree.

Morals only exist by consensus. If enough people agree something is moral, it practically is. They are an idea, not something that actually exists in nature.
