I solve this issue by being a furry, cause now I can say “am I a good pup?” :3c
But aren’t you a bat? :o
Technically a bat/bunny :3
Anyhow, if you can call a good dog by it’s baby name (puppy) you can also do it to a bat :3
Aw cute, and good point!
Not the point, but I like that lemmy is such a small community that one random commentor knows the fursona of another random commentor
In mean, it’s in the name
To be fair, as long as you have :3 they’re good.
“Am I a good person? :3”
That last one sounds very “I’m terrified I’m a bad person and need reassurance but also need to try to lighten it”
:3 saves existential minds :3
that completely changes the vibe :3
i’m gonna use that from now :-D
That’s what I do! I tell my partner he’s a good pupper. I tell my dog he’s a tiny asshole. Both are true.
Partner’s allowed to use any terms of endearment that would apply to our dog without them being read as gendered, on the theory that brain wires get crossed and I’m happy to be in the same love-nickname-category as the pup.
Have I been good?
Have I been?
Have I?
Have?
v?

Looks like you are funny. This is also good.
I wasn’t expecting an answer to the joke, thank you! I went and checked your history, and it looks like you’ve been quite good and nice too.
Always fun to answer a rhetorical question.
Do I have beans?
A cursory glance at your post history suggests that yes, you are kind and respectful.
No. That’s a statue
Am I a good peep?
Maybe related, maybe not.
But I was sorely shocked and disappointed how many people struggle with uncertainty and conflict about “being good.” Like, I get maybe meeting someone in your life who has this issue and finds religion or something as a coping tool for an absolute mental crashout, but I’ve known a handful of people I couldn’t talk to anymore because every fucking topic finds a way to loop back around to their spiritual affirmations about how [remotely negative topic or concept] is okay and fine because [insert echoed gospel about letting deity/parental supplement figure into your heart] and then the only people they can be comfortable around are members of that group as well who won’t challenge them or argue against the narrative. It’s like losing people to disease.
I don’t get how you can worry so much about if you’re “good” or be so terrified of dying that you have to believe in something outside of yourself. Like, why? Isn’t it profound enough that you’re at the center of a completely massive and awesome subjective experience that evolves through time and space?
You’re it. All there is. This is is all you baby. Yeah, you specifically reading this.
The discomfort you feel is accountability, it’s knowing your actions impact others by choice or not. It’s fine. Let it marinate. You stop despairing eventually and start finding new experiences and joy and every moment feels a little more special because you know how unique in all the infinite universe that one particular moment is. It starts to feel better to make other people’s moments better and then you understand what “good” is.
This is an actual issue
Am I a good person?
What is the nature of “goodness”, how do I encapsulate that into “me”; can I be good whilst doing bad things? Are bad thoughts enough to eliminate goodness, or is action required?
Have I been a good person?
:3 Have I been a good person? :3
Have I been a good gamer?
