“resisting” while actively being harmed/injured is and always will be a sadistic joke.

“stop resisting!” while I break you shoulder. Nice.

It’s way cheaper to make an animal go blow itself up rather than build an entire robot to go get blown up.

We already “genetically engineers war dogs”. And police work. And individual self protection.

If you keep it off, it’s significantly harder to get hacked.

Until your hosting service gets pwned…

A person can only drink about 3L of liquid per day.

So unless each beer was 100ml -> less than a standard beer can, this bullshit on the physics alone. And everyone here claiming “30 is totally doable, and then some” while ignoring the sheer volume is making themselves look like an idiot. And that’s before you consider the effect of the beers from 6am being long gone by the time you’re drinking your 12pm beer. Maybe if you’re drinking teeny tiny beers…

4% is the lower end even for macrobrews. Budlight is the lighetest mass produced brew and that’s ~4.2%, but the standard set you’ll find at most generic bars (corona / budweiser / blue moon / lagunitas) at 4.5% / 5% / 5.4% / 6.2% and there are some common brands in the 8%+ range. It’s a weird narrative that American beers are all light, it’s like people think we ONLY drink bud light when in reality the majority of beer drank by Americans are non-light.

Once you get into the 10%+ range you’re not really drinking a “chill and watch the game” type drink anyways. And as you conclude, there are more efficient ways to get there than drinking a 14% lagar.

Honestly I’m surprised it’s that low.

I know most CEO’s aren’t the megarich you here in the headlines - they “only” make $500k-$1mil.

But the average to work out to 360x is surprisingly low to me.

The terms are bc / ad - before Christ & ad domini

Or bce/ce - before common era & common era

What do you think bc stands for

I broadly agree with their sentiment but

• I basically agree with this one. I don’t agree with climate change being a rapture but I believe this point isn’t meant literally.
• The whole point on race is poorly argued. First, the original claim is just a figure of speech it is not meant to be a prescription. Their argument that it’s a lie doesn’t make any sense since they DO agree that black people have to work harder which is the speakers point. So they are essentially just failing to understand a metaphor. Also it’s weird to make a single point that both says “Things are so much harder for black people” and also “this affects all races”, they kinda just don’t fit together rhetorically even if logically it’s consistent. Also “get’s us to the starting line” uuuuuuuh we’re well past the starting line, racism aside. Racism and other prejudices feel like a consequence of being after the starting line, not before it.
• Idk what to say, success exists. It’s possible to be successful even in a “explotative, supremacist, advantage-imbalanced, wealth-dominated system”. I see their point about it being a shallow success but they go too far by claiming “there is no point at all”. Also contradict themselves by saying there is no point but also you should desire for more. I acknlowedge that life is not fair and your circumstances of birth dictate the majority of your life but I also believe aiming up is really the only rational conclusion. If you don’t work towards some definition of success (which can be defined another time) then what’s the point of life?
• They don’t really refute heaven existing, just assert that hell also does. As a metaphor in isolation it works but when the lead in is “Heaven is a lie”, the rebuttle looks more like a literal claim. And gaza isn’t literally hell. They reject the claim but the staple heaven & hell onto the real earth and it just doesn’t work as an argument IMO.
• I’m not touching that whole “quantum tunneling” thing… Call that one ‘the one that doesn’t fit’ I guess.

But Reddit mods told me misandry fundamentally cannot exist and it is logically impossible to be sexist towards men while in a patriarchy

So you’re lying.

I’m glad some people are getting it.

Real talk I’m surprised some tech bro hasn’t made that yet. Like not hiding it, just fully branding it as an AI-first replacement for Reddit/Twitter.

The user could describe the type of content they want to see or “world event” they want their “community” to experience. Like a medival twitter, and have a political plot develop between two kingdoms and the human user’s engagement on the thread can help sway public opinion on the subject leading to different narrative events.

With a world of 8 billion people, there are enough out there that would enjoy it…

Over a decade on the internet and I still don’t know what to do when I agree with someone’s general point but disagree with their logic in support of that point.

I vividly remember my dad telling me football was “too complicated” to explain and so I just assumed it was some mystical unknowable sport and checked out of any conversation involving it.

It wasn’t until I was like 25 that I put any effort into understanding the sport and like… He could have just told me “we want the guys in blue to get the ball and run to the other side” and then we could have bonded over that. Weird thing to be lazy about as a dad.

Turns out it was just a coincidence

An actual, healthy, good online social ecosystem. A place with deep quality conversation without bots, trolls, rage bait, misinformation, etc. Somewhere that felt like actual community.

Vegans are not a monolith. Some do, some don’t. The decision generally comes down to their motivations & their education level.

Since ethical honey sourcing is actively good for both bees and local ecosystem, many vegans will consume ethically sourced honey. As opposed to meat where even the most ethical forms still involve the death of an animal.

Besides that many vegans view it as their ‘cheat’ option to curb their cravings. But also, there is very little reason to consume honey vs raw sugar, the flavor is similar especially once mixed into other food items. So some cut it simply because it is easy to cut.
