“It is true that that’s almost never necessary.”

I can’t wrap my head around this, logically it’s still a ‘double that’ but the short form makes it palatable to read/say.

Oh that explains a lot

Coffee infused hot dog. Yeah, I’ve thought about it and that’s fucking awful.

Fun fact about the Lone Ranger, the most likely real world basis for the protagonist is a man named Bass Reeves. He was black, and an escaped slave. The misrepresentation has been present since the beginning, if I’m not mistaken.

Your thoughts are dirty and you should feel ashamed you disgusting sinner!

Or something, idk they might as well be religious

I imagine men will start behaving differently right around the time your head becomes unlodged from your ass.

Showing yourself in public ≠ posting pictures of yourself online. I understand that, for the terminally online, these things are interchangeable. I am sorry to inform you of this, though it’s probably valuable that you learn it now, but they are not.

This isn’t victim blaming. This is cause and effect.

How fucking dare that creepy disgusting old man look at pictures of young, beautiful women QUEENS on a platform where they’re posting pictures of themselves! This isn’t what the internet is meant for, how dare he!

Hmm

Edit: I just had to edit it, to really hammer home the mockery.

Objectifying women is wrong, but - c’mon. This is the internet, you post pictures of yourself on it and don’t know the consequences? That’s on you, or your parents if you’re below a certain age.

The fall of Rome took over two and a half centuries.

Sometimes you need to accept things are broken and move toward fixing them, not blindly stumble forward expecting everything to right itself.

Did you point out that they have brain damage from lead poisoning and it might be compromising their ability to think?

No I think it’s pretty clear that capitalism will point guns at them, and we will either win and exploit their resources for ourselves or die.

I think their point is that if the people making the games were given fair compensation that they would be more willing to sacrifice IP rights.

I don’t see what makes them think that other than their own personal feelings on the matter, but I think that’s the message.

Hell yeah - water, a cigarette, and a puff on my stiiizy for me.

How does it interact with your ADD?

I’m starting to think long term use for caffeine should be something everyone avoids. Since I’ve cut out over half of the caffeine I used to intake I’ve noticed that I sleep much more consistently, and I want to say the quality is better but that could just be a placebo associated with getting the right amount in the first place lol.

You know what the best cup of coffee is? The coffee you don’t need to make for yourself, in the comfort of the place you live/call home.

Do you drink something like tea instead?

Squelch in my ass

Listen, we can’t all have the bladder control of a perfectly sculpted Greek God - ok?

People don’t like the things they believe to be challenged, and many people fail to recognize what is a belief and what is a fact.

It’s the problem with knowing enough to not know how little you actually do (know).

You mean to say it’s stigmatized as a bad thing, and I’d accept that.

There’s an apple called Cosmic Crisp that has to be the worst thing I’ve seen come from the Honeycrisp variant of apple. Genuinely just awful taste and texture, like it’s got sand in it.

That being said, these are only a problem at supermarkets. Farmers markets are hard carries and don’t typically have the ‘grown for shelf life’ produce you see at your typical Walmart.

You can certainly make an argument for young kids, i.e. teaching fractions and literally how to count (counting seconds).

Teenagers? No, not really. They’ll all have phones or something to tell the time by a certain age and hopefully they know their fractions / how to count. It might as well just be digital at that point.

Purge the bowels, cleanse the soul

Idk, I don’t think they’re that blurry if we compare them to similar “conundrums” in other unethical circumstances.

Like, would you think the same of someone owning child porn? They don’t distribute it, they don’t film the children themselves, they just own the recordings. The law says they’re a criminal, but it seems like a similar ethical conundrum - no? (To be clear, I think eating meat sourced from someone who did not consent is wrong. I hope that says enough about how I feel about CP.)

How about owning the schematics for a ghost gun? You haven’t printed it, you haven’t distributed the schematic - you just own the schematic (and, for the purpose of the example, a 3d printer capable of printing the parts needed).

Seems like the answer is “it’s unethical”. Gonna need a third party to weigh in.
