I always loved the “do uncontacted remote tribes that haven’t heard of God or Jesus go to heaven?” question. So far everyone has answered yes. And then you realize that Christians could save everyone, everywhere, forever, just by destroying all their literature, not teaching religion, and letting it die with them. One sacrificial generation and everyone is saved forever.

But they won’t do it because of greed and pride, the core aspects of their belief system.

John Stewart did a great bit where station after station reads the exact same script over and over again. It’s unsettling.

There’s usually a four prong power connector on the top left corner of the motherboard. I always forget that one, nothing works without it plugged in too.

You aren’t imagining things. We take social cues from others. If you have friends who are weird, you will feel more free to be weird. If politicians have to hide their racism to work with someone above them, others will follow suit. If they don’t have to hide it… same.

Last time I asked the pharmacist, they recommended Zyrtec, or other allergy medication. It targets the same mechanism, apparently.

It worked for me at any rate.

A lot of men are desperate to connect with other people and for validation.

There’s a route you take when you walk to the front door, there’s a hand you open it with, there’s a way you shift your weight as you open it. Yes, usually going to the pastry shop on the weekend can be a habit too, but there really are tons your never think about.

When someone calls your name, do you look or not? Fast or slow? When someone tells you their name do you repeat it to yourself in your head? Any of these things you do consistently without thinking are habits, and anything you do consistently through mental effort can be too, even if they aren’t automatic.

If they didn’t also aggressively suppress increases to minimum wage and tax recapture benefits, I might agree, but in the long run inflation does more to devalue labor than it does to mitigate hoarding.

It could actually be a benefit if it does slowly degrade. Let’s support work, not hoarding.

It’s just a brand guys, they make beer too. I actually really like the beer…

It’s called liquid death as a beer company name that later branched or into water. They aren’t calling the water specifically liquid death.

It’s like asking why they call an ice cream flavor carnation, when it’s clearly strawberry.

When magical thinking is involved, nothing is impossible.

I’ve always thought we should use “plus” as in the + at the end of lgbt. It’s short, easy, all inclusive and has a built in positive association.

… he said, patting himself on the back.

Wow, I’m not reading all that

My weak arguments aren’t meant to convince you, they are meant to lead you along a train of thought. Here’s the last piece…

Just because cancer cells are human doesn’t mean they get species protection, that would be stupid.

Once we have acknowledged that our protective feelings for the bundle of cells that can’t even think yet are species based, that we routinely kill creatures with brains more well developed than a newborn, and that we do routinely kill clumps of human tissue that put the host at risk, it’s clear that the mother’s well being should always take precedence over the well being of the fetus.

That’s a great point, we we should probably stop killing all thinking beings immediately and become vegetarian then.

Frustration is usually the difference between what we expected or wanted and what we got. Patience is learning to let go of what we expected and accept what is.

If you can stop seeing this as something wasted and start seeing it as just a different circumstance, it may help you get past your emotions and start focusing on what to do next.

My college had a french fry vending machine. That was pretty awesome.

Not necessarily, since this is a government building it would be the government’s speech, and they clearly don’t want to fly it. They aren’t preventing people from flying it on their personal property.

That said, there’s a clear likelihood that this is purely anti-lgbtq sentiment in action.

They made a blood tithe they feel can never be repaid. Compared to that it’s pretty clear they see all this *waves hand around* as trivial amounts of collateral damage.
