We literally are at the stage where when someone says: “this is a psyop” then that is the psyop. When someone says: “these drag queens are groomers” they are the groomers. When someone says: “the establishment wants to keep you stupid and poor” they are the establishment who want to keep you stupid and poor.

Since we are explaining things: an onion, like an apple is a fruit.

No one wants to hear it - that’s often a good sign it’s right on the money.

Fuck is a “woke dei”?

It’s Britney, bitch.

Or, you know, kids haven’t got the same grasp of adult life that grown ups do.

I have a 23 year old daughter. She has a job, an education, is currently travelling the world and she’s still really very immature in many ways. I know there be will be people that age right now reading this and hating it and you know you’re really still very far away from really getting this but there is SO much in life that we have to learn to let go. SO many failures of our own and of others that we need to find a way to live with. It took me a long, long time to really get to the point where I was able to forgive the world for being a place where certain bad things had happened. That’s the thing that finally allowed me to keep looking for goodness, to struggle for hope instead of being angry with reality. You look deep into any maladjustment be it drug addiction, eating disorders, rage, pretty much any negative compulsion - deep down in there it’s this. It’s this inability to forgive the world for being a place where bad things can happen. Which is clearly a child-like response to not getting our way. Only now “getting our way”, like it’s not that you were refused a treat but rather you’re waching the bigger part of humanity suffer and realising you’re near powerless to do anything about it. Two things can be true. The world can be a bad place sometimes but it can also be good. If you can’t forgive it for its failings you’ll struggle to see the good side.

Skateboards with no pop. Guitars with shit intonation. More broadly: consumables that wear through too quickly and cause people to nope out of the hobby because it is ‘too expensive’, the list goes on.

There is something reassuring about quality gear because beginners don’t always know or properly understand this stuff.

With that said there is a point beyond which those returns begin to diminish.

I really don’t understand their position.

Cats cannot make a moral choice so what are these folks going to do when they see their “vegan” cat take down a bird or a mouse?

The fact that domesticated cats are notorious hunters really does make this whole thing pretty fucking funny tbh.

I’m asking this purely out of naivety, not trying to make a point: are you saying that because there are removed comments there that seem balanced and pretty thoughtful but have been removed regardless?

This is honestly my very first time looking at a modlog so I’m trying to got understand how to read it.

When is science ever “conclusive”?

That very concept is anti-science.

Nowadays “the science is inconclusive” is used to weasel out of corners that grifters paint themselves into.

Scientific consensus now there’s a concept worth understanding and putting forth in arguments such as this one.

It’s almost like someone who uses that word is actually plantspalining.

“Meatsplained” made my day though fr.

Can’t help it.

QA brought to you by ChatGPT.

Okay but are they delicious?

Only if we can listen to a Judas Priest record backwards.

The weak chin lands it pretty firmly IMO.

You’re very kind.

My colleague actually corrected me to the person I was speaking to: “He means “apostacy””. I died.
