corporations destroying the environment more in 1 day than a human could in 1 million years
I take a little umbridge with this line of thought, because a lot of the waste and pollution is driven by demand from the masses.

That means he’s a senator in the United States Senate, the federal one.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
The legislative branch of the US government is bicameral, which means it is composed of two houses. One being the House of Representatives, and the other being the Senate. The House of Representatives is composed of 435 Representatives, divided proportionally based on the population of the states, while the Senate is composed of 100 members, with two from each state. The theory behind this bicameral legislature is that the House of Representatives represent the people, while the Senate represents the states.
The Senate and House together make up the legislative branch. They work together to enact legislation, and they also hold checks and balances over the other two branches (executive and judicial).
Each of the houses has more specific duties as well. The Senate has power to confirm presidential appointments, to approve or reject treaties, and to convict or exonerate impeachment cases brought by the House.

You hate the pride logos because you’re a bigot and a triggered snowflake.
I hate the pride logos because it’s insincere corporate pandering.
We are not the same.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 5 days ago:
First of all, good for you for asking the question. I think many people are afraid to ask these things even if they want to be respectful and inclusive for fear of coming off as backward or ignorant, but I think asking questions in good faith shows that we’re willing to listen and learn.
But most importantly, just treat them with the same respect you’d treat anyone else! Gender identity isn’t really that big of a deal, and after you get to know some trans folks you’ll come to that realization quickly that they’re just regular people!

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 days ago:
There is value in asking the question and in the consideration itself. Even if we never find the answer, it’s good for our brains to think about these things. Knowledge, and the search for it, has value in itself. We don’t always need to do something with it.

Breasts are larger than they need to be, and they’re that size all the time. One hypothesis is that they’re used to signal sexual maturity and attract mates.
But aside from that, breasts and nipples are definitely a bigger erogenous zone than most parts of the body, probably second only to genitals. And they’re directly involved in reproduction as you need them to feed babies.
And most importantly, most societies view them as sexual even if some don’t. So what makes something sexual anyway? That’s a subjective thing, it works by consensus.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 6 days ago:
Breasts are sexual. They’re secondary sex characteristics.

I get new videos and new creators that are aligned with my interests all the time.
- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 1 week ago:
And a portion of your money goes to the creators you watch, and you get YouTube music included. I always say if you’re gonna pay for one service, the one that makes the most sense is YouTube.
- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 1 week ago:
I’m not surprised. YouTube has a constant stream of new material, curated to each user’s exact interests. And more back catalogue than you could watch in a thousand lifetimes. It’s definitely the service I use the most.
- Comment on You have been in a prison of bone for your entire life 1 week ago:
I prefer to think of it as an oasis. A biological sanctuary in a chaotic and uncaring universe. A safe haven able to stave off the oblivion of entropy for at least a few short years, giving the untold complexity of your brain and consciousness that chance to experience itself and the world before inevitably succumbing to the turbulence of the cosmos.

It’s why I don’t do street drugs anymore. Fentanyl is everywhere and it only takes a tiny amount to kill you.

Colonization. But that was the insinuation of the post, that they colonized the world and have nothing to show for it. But in reality there is a lot of cultural exchange that happened.
