Fuck that noise.

You want a fight? You better be blasting Duel of the Fates, otherwise I don’t want any.

Spartan 117 from Halo. It’s pretty explicitly said that he has luck on his side. Hypothetically, he’s quantum immortal (we might all be actually) and the checkpoint system in the games is based around this immortality.

That’s… One way to look at it. On the other hand, if I were an employer, should I be required to keep people on payroll if they were going around saying “I work for Bytemeister, and I think Hitler was right and we should have exterminated the Jews”? That’s going to affect my business badly, it’s going to cost me my quality of life, if not my entire business.

Perhaps both of them harm (or help) different parties by different amounts. So maybe a system where “My freedom ends where it starts infringing on other peoples rights.” looks like a common sense framework, but when scrutinized reveals that it doesn’t really stand for anything at all.

Ah, so it would have been harmful to vote against it.

Or choose not to do business with them, or choose not to help them on the side of the road, or choose not to invite them to your parties, or choose not to let them on your property, or choose to sign them up for all the useless email and mail spam you can find…

Don’t tunnel on one thing. A freedom for everyone means a freedom for the capitalists, and the communists too.

Charlie Kirk would still be a piece of shit today if he wasn’t out and loud about being a piece of shit.

I voted to raise my taxes to fund my local school. Now my neighbors have to pay more in taxes as well… Did I just harm them?

Or choose not to hire them, or ostracize them.

Hate speech is free speech. So is recording that hate speech and making sure that everyone the bigot knows is aware of their bigotry is free speech too.

Congrats on posting the most wrong thing I have read today.

Also, are you a writer for Landman?

Yeah, but all the inattentive parents can now successfully pass on their genes and social values… Which is why we’re seeing a huge age verification push online right now. If those people or their children got mauled or eaten at higher rates then we wouldn’t have this problem.

Not even close.

I see serrations/combo blades on a knife and I just want to vomit.

You can haul or tow pretty well with a van. Unless you need a hookup for a goose neck… But those are rare, even for truck bros.

And a hot pocket is just a savory double-stuff poptart.

Carnivores (and omnivores) don’t taste as good to people

I dunno, pork is pretty good…

… we absolutely do not know if they are or are not sentient conclusively…

We don’t even know if other people are sentient conclusively, so I see possible sentience as a non-factor when it comes to edibility.

It’s obviously chest hair.

I don’t think the Democrats can’t be reformed until the Republicans party is eliminated, or ranked choice voting is enacted nation-wide.

We can’t take risks on more progressive candidates when a loss results in a literal child-raping Nazi getting elected instead.

This isn’t a “no, you’re wrong” rebuke, but a “yes, but first…” agreement.

I’ve been thinking about it. It’s not good enough to say “Sorry, last guy was a dipshit.” Especially since the majority of people in the US think he is a dipshit right now.

I think we would need to remove said dipshit from power, and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Then remove anyone who knew he was a dipshit and had responsibility to say/do something about it, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law where appropriate. Then find anyone that supported the dipshit in exchange for favors from the dipshit, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

After all that, then we need to get laws in place that prevent this kind of dipshittery from happening again. Specifically, we need heavy penalties for election campaign finance and ethics violations. Ranked choice voting seems like a pretty good way to prevent us from having to a choose between the two least likeable assholes in the country to lead us. Big money needs to be out of politics, remove Citizens United, remove the ability of corporations to make campaign contributions, and maybe even make campaign finances be paid out of a government fund where each a candidate gets an equal amount.

Once we’ve removed the dipshits, and prevented the possibility of a dipshit getting elected again, the last ingredient for this redemption recipe is time. People aren’t just going to forget what has happened. We need to demonstrate consistent stability and sanity in both our foreign and domestic politics for at least a decade or two.

I don’t think all of this will happen TBH. A more realistic redemption is a complete restructure of the United States, and probably a separation into a few different countries, varying in sanity from a solarpunk future state to the religious-zealot-lead redneckistan.

Period tracking apps are selling the data of minors to states where abortion is illegal in order to to see if they become pregnant (or un-pregnant).

Need I go on?
