  • It is a genie. That’s exactly what it means when she says “replace all the water in the world with milk”. Genies hate people. They are malicious spirits that have been imprisoned by sorcerrers to serve them and their wishes. The only thing is that it probably isn’t going to work because they are not omnipotent and have limited power usually. Enough to “fulfill a wish” of a greedy dude and fuck them over in the process, but not enough to destroy the universe.

    How is it different in any way? Do you think that Netanyahu dying somehow ends the war in Gaza? Saves the Palestinian people?

    Wishing someone dead comes from hatred. Hatred for their actions, for who they are. Netanyahu and Israel can be stopped. He can be put in jail. And I am saying this as a person who is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, who supports them.

    Hatred is hatred and it breeds more hatred.

    We are talking about wishing death to someone, not you caring when someone dies.

    You are doing the exact same thing that I talked about. Trying to justify to yourself that you are still “good” but still wishing death, hating.

    There is always a way to stop the harm that someone is causing without killing them. There is no difference to me. You want someone dead, you are just as “good” as they are, wanting you dead.

    And the “wish them to die without hating them” is complete bullshit. Otherwise you wouldn’t want them to die.

    You are just proving my point.








  • This isn’t “THE” solution though. Plenty of other options. My favourite is meal prepping - spend three hours cooking for the entire week, put it in the fridge. Instead of an hour / hour and a half each day. You only have to clean up after yourself once too.

    Issues are you need to prepare things that reheat well, or that you can quickly “cook up” each day without it taking too long. I.e. “just add the sauce to the salad” type of deal.
