We have an infinite number of monkeys, one of them already wrote Hamlet.

E=mc2 is the equation for how much energy is created by destroying a given amount of mass.

That’s why it would fuck over causality
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 weeks ago:
The end state doesn’t have to be at the end of time if the electron can travel backwards in time. It can go to the end, head back towards the beginning, and get destroyed somewhere in between.
Strictly speaking it would have to get destroyed at some point, or at least have something stop it from going back and forth, otherwise the universe would be all electron.
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 weeks ago:
So I have to destroy 2 electrons to fuck over causality.
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 weeks ago:
So if I can destroy 1 electron I destroy every electron?

Can’t even blame Blizzard, it’s the people who keep buying this shit that are actually the problem.
Por que no dos?
I have room in my heart to hate both groups.
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 3 weeks ago:
There’s also the fact that people will pay for it. Would you take a million dollars to let your favorite game put a skin of you in it holding a sign saying “I care more about the money I made from this skin than the quality of this game”?
I hate the practice, but I despise the fact that it always turns out to be so damn profitable.
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 3 weeks ago:
They put Mailbox and Auction House on it which AFAIK the only mount that has both which is incredibly valuable.
Create the problem, sell the solution.

Apple and Google want to sell that data, they’re not going to help you obscure it.
- Comment on T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users 3 weeks ago:
Meanwhile in Canada it is illegal to sell locked phones, and if someone comes into possession of a locked phone (say from before it was made illegal) they can contact the carrier and the carrier must unlock it free of charge.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
They literally call themselves pro-life and then express support for the death penalty.

Yes, you’ve made it quite clear you are happy to murder “undesirables” on the flimsiest excuse you think you can get away with.
- Comment on US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms 1 month ago:
the fact remains that there is literally no reason for Disney to have been included in the lawsuit to begin with
Then Disney should have argued that instead of something shady as shit.
- Comment on US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms 1 month ago:
I’m not saying Disney should be held liable, but the fact remains that the defense they initially went with was “You used an unrelated service for a week several years ago so you can’t sue us” instead of something credible and relevant.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Reasonable Force
Reasonable force refers to the amount of force that is necessary for a person to defend himself or his property, without going overboard. It is especially important to prove whether or not the force a person used was reasonable in order to determine his level of liability for the crime. Hence why reasonable force is also referred to as “legal force.” For instance, a father who gets into an argument with his son’s baseball coach, shoving him with his hands, has started the conflict. If the coach, in defending himself, picks up a baseball bat and slams it into the father’s head several times, it could not reasonably be considered self defense.
If a person can prove that he used reasonable force to defend himself, he may be able to avoid being prosecuted for a crime.
If a person uses more force than what would be considered necessary to protect himself from an aggressor, then this would be considered excessive or unreasonable force. Once excessive force has been proven, then the defendant’s self defense argument is considered forfeited. For instance, a defendant is justified in using force that is intended or likely to cause death or severe injury if someone violently enters his home, and he believes such force is necessary to prevent harm from coming to himself, or to another person in the home.

you sound like you’re out for revenge
They’ve taken the mask off and said the quiet part out loud: They’re just out to kill people they think of as less than human.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I don’t care. Like I said, in some states you can employ deadly force to keep someone from making off with your shit. I do not value those people more than my property. Straight up. I’m not deflecting or side stepping or mincing words. They’re trash and I do not morn them should they be shot and killed during the course of taking things that aren’t theirs.
I would once again like to remind you where this conversation started:
When the solution is “Vigilantism” you know the situation is fucked.
Not only have you shown you lied with your original argument on “self defense”, you’ve also revealed that you are a monstrous person who simply wants the excuse to murder “undesirables”. Dehumanizing others is an action encouraged by terrible people to excuse abhorrent behaviour, and they should not be listened to as their words and arguments are less than worthless.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
There’s one weird trick to not being shot for stealing shit.
You’re just trying to deflect from my statement:
The criminal punishment for theft is not the death penalty, and you are actively encouraging vigilantism issuing death sentences without a judge or jury. - Comment on US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms 1 month ago:
Disney has no ownership stake in the restaurant,
Then they should have argued that instead of “you can’t sue us for negligence because of a completely unrelated service you used for a week several years ago.”
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.
As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t the death penalty, but here you are saying a citizen dealing out that punishment without a judge or jury isn’t only acceptable but should be actively encouraged.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
If citizens have a “Constitutional Right” to have a gun, why does exercising the right so often result in law enforcement killing them without a trial?
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I have sympathy for someone who’s actually been a victim of violent crime, and it’s a shame therapy isn’t a more viable option. However, there’s a big difference between
“I was a victim of violent crime and feel more comfortable having a means of protection on me” and
“This might lead to robberies.”
“That’s what guns are for.” - Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I have no problems with people carrying mace for self defense. There are highly effective less lethal options.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
“murder and rape are a fact of life.”

I’d just like to take a moment to remind you of how this conversation started:
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Oh no, I meant the consequences for other people when he misuses his gun are much more severe than the consequences for other people if someone steals from them.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
The dystopian attitude is “you better be ready to severely harm someone at a moment’s notice every day, otherwise you’re just unprepared for day to day life.”
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
So vigilantism then.
