It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"

Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

"ROBLOX: boat ride into a better life WIP" is aa roblox game based off of someone canoeing to go to an area which will give them "a better life", the description of this game says

"by oar, tooth, nail, and heart, paddle your way to a better life for you and the ones you love. cast away the ballasts of life's misgivings and you will find that only by death shall fate sink your unrelenting spirit.

WIP! bugfixes, polish, & more checkpoints are in the works ^-^

HOW TO PLAY:
💻pc: click & drag on the water with your oar to move
📱 mobile: touch water with oar equipped to paddle"

This "word" Is made for a speedrun website, there may or may not be better ways to define this but this is all I'm currently able to think of. have a great day and maybe even play the game sometime! :D

"Better" Freedom

See, it's not like hedonistic freedom. It's better! Because instead of doing the thing that you want to do... You do the thing that I THINK people (in general) SHOULD do. It's like, instead of using your OWN will... You use MY will instead... Like, if you want to do a thing that I don't want you to do... You should not be able to do it... And I'm not talking about the laws that are negotiated by elected representatives... What I'm talking about is MY will being superordinate to that of the individual in a sort of universalized ethic that is imposed on everyone... For their own good...

Hym "And it seems to be the case that a lot of business owners think like this. 'Yeah, I love people but do you know what would male people even better? They'd be better if they lived in accordance with MY will instead of their own. Like, if I wrote a mission statement and then everyone just does that.... Or they starve.... You know? Doesn't that sound great!?' And it's funny to see Jordan try to make me 'dance for my supper' (Thanks wisecracked) because he thinks he's proving a point by bringing all of these guests on that promulgate propositions that are analogous to the propositions I've made in the past but all he's managed to do is prove MY POINT! Instead of the one he's trying to make about me not being important or necessary. Because, at a certain point, it doesn't matter how hard you work or how good you are... At a certain point an arbitration is made as to who is promoted and who is not. THAT is why he needs the hierarchy of dcaooummtiphneoatrneicntecye! So that HE can remain the decider of who goes up and who stays down. He decides how they are framed to be viewed by his viewers (who can't think and will accept the frame he imposes). That's his "Better" Freedom. It's freedom except what happens to you is what OUGHT to happen to you according to HIM.... And not ME Hym but HIM him."
