• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to make sure I got the question right, because I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

  Are you saying that you should be able to disagree about the science behind gender identity because you feel that the current definitions and standards were created by politics and not science and research?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I get in trouble for emailing US-based foreign embassies and encouraging them to invade those little areas they have been eyeing for some time in light of recent events?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, and I don’t think anyone would take you seriously enough to even consider it. Not worth the risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is going to be the next Pres of Venezula after all this US stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine, go down there and be king.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Are You Guys Handling This?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I downgraded to the lowest tier, so technically they lost money on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As with most things, I assume religion was originally created with an intent to understand the world and to improve things for everyone. Ignorance reinforced the beliefs, and eventually someone figured out that they could use it as a tool to control people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you been watching Supermarket Sweep?

  Which of these costs more than $1: Jiffy Pop, Pledge, or Rice a Roni, the San Francisco treat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie game studios have been making retro style games for longer now than the 8 and 16 bit eras they're copying.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I read this while taking a short break from Monster Sanctuary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Earth Song by Micheal Jackson a classic case of whataboutism?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some questions can still be shower thoughts, and I think this one fits the bill.

  Imagine you’re washing your hair singing some song you haven’t heard in a long time and halfway through the song, you pause to really think about the lyrics and suddenly it hits you. “Is this song actually about X?!?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Putting my kid on adhd meds.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Im the other side of that coin. I know how hard it was being undiagnosed my whole life, so I make sure mine are loaded up on their meds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only one way to find out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Advertising creates a presence. They don’t think any one as is going to convince you to buy it, and they know that after watching the ad enough times, it’s not going to get any more convincing, but when you are in need of their services, you’ll be looking at their brand and a competitor, and odds are, if price and everything else are the same, you’ll buy the brand you recognize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What activity or pastime of yours is barrels of fun?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cannabis!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not. Most Christians would probably prefer having the option of getting a chicken sandwich over worrying about others being able to celebrate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How might I aquire some 2C-B?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plant a lot of colorful flowers outside your house if you want 2C-Bs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If nobody’s talking about their gaming, how would you ever know how many people game?

  Be brave enough to be open about it, and you might be surprised how many people will join you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A penis has the "second-most" microexpressions, compared to a face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  6-7! 🤷🏻‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t argue with any of that, but I will point out that we’ve thought the end of the world was right around the corner hundreds of times in the past few thousand years, and we just keep going, so, I’m not going to make any assumptions about the end of the world, because 100% of those predictions have been proven false.

  There will be more new technology next year, and if we avoid an apocalypse, there will be even more advances five, ten and fifty years from now.

  I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, I’m just saying that claiming that technology peaked with the steam engine, when we live in a world where we can send messages across the globe in less than a second is just incorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the sentiment, but I disagree that technology has “peaked”.

  Technology constantly grows, and it’s moving faster now than ever. We won’t see the peak until society collapses and all the systems required to fuel that technology fall apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the cheapest console to get and collect for that still holds up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t help with pricing, but as far as variety and quality of games, the SNES dominates. We play ROMs at home, and despite having pretty much every game for every system, the SNES gets the most play hands down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then in heaven, I must be love!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This tells me that you are assuming everyone is cheating, and thus cheating is not only excusable, but necessary.

  I disagree. Most people are not cheaters, and more cheating does not create fairness, just more assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s seen as a problem for everyone.

  If someone wins a sports tournament, and we later discover they had cheated, we don’t ask the other competitors why they weren’t smart enough or strong enough to cheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A billion dollars and a Ferrari doesn't matter if all you have are bumpy torn up roads with potholes to drive on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still better than driving over potholes with an empty bank account and a Camry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How you perceive that is entirely up to you.

  That’s probably my least favorite way of refusing to take responsibility for your own words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. You’re normal.

  I’m no expert, but I’ve only experienced fishiness after sex or a few days without a shower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this colour?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit yellow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sheep dogs probably think sheep are just dumb dogs that need looked after⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty much how we think about dogs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  After three months, we’re ready for them to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to that, they just have much more interesting things to say. I worked with a guy who was big on math, and spent the whole day explaining complex math theories and interesting math history. Did you know Pythagoras was a major asshole and may have killed someone for disproving one of his theories?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually feel more comfortable around autistic people.

  Am I autistic? Is it disabilist of me to say so?
