Very helpful, thank you!

Ahh that’s interesting, so the issue is as much having a conveniently shifting position as it is a further-right-than-progressives static position. Thanks a ton, that helps me understand a lot!

Gotcha, so it means fake leftists almost? Does it imply someone is even further right than a current “centrist”? Or more like, “the center is right wing at this point, and so much so that even the Dems who are just left of center are still on the right [but therefore less than centrists still]”? This is not meant to be obstinate, your response was just very helpful and I want to bracket in on where folks consider liberals to be on the political spectrum so I can understand/use it properly.

Totally. Every next safety measure from airbags to seatbelts are about adding extra inches, rarely even full feet, and they are shockingly effective.

Largely true, but it’s crazy what the difference of just a few feet of slowing down does (rather than zero feet of abrupt stopping) to acceleration forces. The crumple zone on a car only has to be 3 feet long to turn a 60mph crash from a fatality to a horrific injury.

That goose is so fly they call his feathers “up” instead of “down”

What is this from? It’s great

Idk I feel like chaotic neutral would be something surprising without being much more likely to be negative for someone else than neutral. Something actually random would be a note like “look in your socks” or a random phone number

But there is in causing panic or a potential breakup

So you really don’t believe someone can like something for themselves and not for how others see it? In my mind, that’s a sign of massive insecurity on your part, projecting that 100% of others think that much about what people think about their stuff, rather than just buying things they like.

Some people are definitely compensating, but you can buy a Porsche as a trust fund baby with something to prove, or as an engineer who is enthusiastic about design, performance, and guaranteed replacement parts for even discontinued models.

I think you’ve gotta worry a lot about what others think of you in order to assume that’s the only reason someone else would buy something.

Yeah coming off as a winning combo of unhinged, irrational, judgmental, and (not-so) subtly racist…

OP, you say you’ll refuse to wear a ring for your wedding… Not sure that’ll be a problem.

Read G.E. Moore’s take on it https://uen.pressbooks.pub/knowledgeforhumans/chapter/g-e-moores-hands/

It’s a common and ultimately pointless/self-indulgent philosophical “question,” lots of good essays on it.

The shock wave needs a medium (air) to travel through. So if the bomb was touching a ship, it would certainly transfer kinetic energy, but if there was any space (not air) between them, there is still no shockwave for the ship to feel.

Maybe they can’t fly, but no one said chickens can’t be fly
