Definitely uncut. All the extra shit they can add to it just dilutes the high.

His Big Mac was served cold on Monday.

Working toward a nuke free world was going to get humans past the Great Filter

Ironically, I'm increasingly of the opinion that the Great Filter will turn out to be Ignorance; more specifically, greed, stupidity and humankind's more selfish nature delaying positive change long enough for climate change to wipe us out.

Them him/her I have to think about it for a bit, and then take a recorder in my pocket when "revisiting" the conversation.

Bohemian Rhapsody or Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I pronounce it "Phil". And he would appreciate it if you would stop staring at his missing eye.

Cinematography. The composition of a moving frame.

Everywhere else in the world with the exception of prudish north america, "Cunt" is just a synonym for asshole; regardless of gender.

That may not be where the word started, but that's where it currently is in modern usage.

There's no such thing as a "non-harmful" pedofile.

Either you're actively molesting children (yes...even teens), or you're consuming the CP that is the result of OTHER people abusing children by forcing them to participate and worse.

You don't get to say "its not repulsive to consume the product as long as youre not a creator of it". Consuming the end result is still participating in it.

I can't believe that even has to be pointed out.

I'm hoping he loses his own riding and has to get a real job for the first time in his life.

come at me, bro...

I was dumbfounded the first time my ex-wife tried to tell me that because I was a (former) Catholic at the time, that it wasn't actually Christianity.

My exact words were; "Bitch please! We were the fucking original christians, what the fuck are you on about?"

That was before we got married and I should have listened to my gut in that moment.

Be best friends with her for yyears. Then literally just look at each other, shrug and say "Meh...might as well fuck".

Yes...yes...by all means keep shooting yourself in the dick by reminding everyone of how similar you are to that absolute clown-show to the south...

A French court found far-right leader Marine Le Pen guilty of embezzling over €3 million in EU funds, potentially ending her 2027 presidential bid.

"pfffft...amateur." (Donald Trump, probably)

Handguns are tightly controlled. But Long Guns are literally everywhere. If 'murica is counting on us being unarmed...hoo boy...

it makes line go down.

You often see the question asked online "What radicalized you?"

For me, I was working for a telecommunications provider as a manager and was told that neither myself nor my staff would see any raises or bonuses that year because "the company didn't make any money."

The kicker being that the company made 6 billion that year. But because the money counters had projected them to make 7 Billion, and they didn't hit it, giving out raises would make the stock price drop even more than it was already going to. Essentially, not enough profit, is the same as NO profit.

But you better believe the CEO and executives got their bonus that year.

it makes line go down.

still entirely compromised of “nerds evangelizing about Linux”

"Winger decries the accusation as "A slanderous betrayal akin to 9/11." Later after the war, he would refer to the theory as "essentially accurate."

unless if one day they somehow develop a “soul” themselves and start to express an inner world of their own.

Gaius Baltar enters the chat.

All business have to care about profit or they won’t be in business for long

Businesses have always cared about profit; just reasonable profit. They would make a product, determine the cost of manufacture, apply a modest profit margin to it (usually about 30%) and factor in things like employee raises and benefits, expanding the business, and building up a financial safety net.

Businesses were run by humans, for humans.

Hedge fund managers and venture capitalists in the 80s changed that. Rather than assigning a fixed profit margin each year to try to maintain, the rule became "how much profit can we squeeze out by sales and (most damning) by systematically dismantling anything that we pay for that benefits our employees".

This is the end result of having taking human stakeholders out of the business decisions and replacing them with shareholders that are mostly other businesses, hedge funds, and venture capitalists. Profit becomes the ONLY motive, rather than one of many.
