  • It's not America's job to intervene in a civil war in East Asia. I'm not sure how it doing so could be seen as anything but provocative.

  • Cats are pretty easy to read once you know what you're looking for. It takes the barest amount of effort on your part to learn how they communicate, and having owned a lot of pets, I don't find them harder to communicate with than any other mammal.

  • I mean, I probably count as that. I'm just saying that the problem is even worse than they think: not every city is walkable.

  • I absolutely need a car in my city. Poor public transit isn't a purely rural phenomenon—thus this community.

  • We shouldn't anticipate it, but we should expect it. I think you're getting caught on the other definitions of 'expect'.

  • mp4? Imgur doesn't even bother hosting gifs—it automatically converts any you upload to mp4 because gifs are incredibly storage-inefficient.

  • With respect, there are other and more effective ways to make your voice heard than participation in a system that is designed from the ground up to prevent the people from achieving parity in government with the wealthy.

  • The flip side is that Democrats have no incentive at all to shift leftward if progressives always vote Democrat. Leftists aren't going to vote for Republicans, so it's in the best interests of the party leadership to court the so-called center because the left wing has no alternative. Being a safe vote is therefore a losing strategy for leftists, which is why you should only vote if there actually is a progressive option.

  • Are you going to pay for the hosting and do the work to keep the instance up to date?

  • Not the guy you were asking, but sure, I'm down. We'd be trading some real hard years now to avoid many more much harder years later. It's a good deal.

  • You're projecting like crazy. You have no idea what the OP thinks of himself. Anyone older than 30 absolutely used IRC without being an expert.

  • Pseudo-intellectualism?? This is a funny scenario someone shared with their friends. Where do you think you are? Do you think this is an intellectual forum?

  • You're saying we should try ethically consuming under capitalism? Novel.

  • ... by giving away land that didn't belong to them and that millions of people were already living on.

  • Fun fact: Rabbits/hares aren't actually rodents. They're one of two kinds of lagamorphs, the other being pikas.
