If a war ~~liberates~~ kills a woman in a country you’ve never heard of, and no one posts about it on social media, did the ~~liberation~~ killing even happen?
fixed it
In the same logic, if i killed you and no one knows it, then your murder didn't happen.
Yes, and that's questionable.
If your mom dropped you as a baby and never told anyone about it, do you still have brain damage?
Yes.
Would you judge this person then for acting like they have brain damage? Do you go around making fun of disabled people?
I dont understand the downvotes. If something doesnt get enough coverage/attention it tends to be forgotten.
People crave spectacle.
One person decided that I lack empathy (he doesn't know what the word means) based on this. He said as much. Possibly others read it and decided it must be true, and thus I am worthy of burial.
Obviously not. We all know history started in 1997 with the launch of SixDegrees. Nothing happened before that.
Born in 1973. Can confirm nothing happened prior to 1997.
AI ass post
I guess if the woman somehow doesn't know. Feel like it'd be a pretty big deal to her, though.
I'm sure, but do others understand the liberation?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
