I also feel like a lot of the people who could actually do right by this country have no interest in governance. Like, they don't want power. They're not power hungry greedy sociopaths.

Exactly. I have no doubts that the truth is much worse than what Santos is claiming, but regardless we'll never know.

You're right, but also it's to get cheaper business insurance. Because businesses that don't test have to pay more to insure themselves. If you own a business, you have to buy insurance for the business to ensure that if your business gets sued, it's the business that takes the hit, not you personally.

I was about to say, how is a black Republican man leading a women's group? Does he have godlike rizz? Is it possible to learn this power?

They're in the top 1% for Argentina, not globally. I mean, it would be nice if every worker made US wages. It's kinda fucked though that even the lowest paid workers in America can live like kings in the Philippines. I make $42k/yr as an electrical assembler at a plant that manufactures environmental test chambers. If I take my PTO and go to almost any other country, especially Argentina, I can live like royalty for a week.

This. There's people out there who would sooner commit cannibalism than give up meat.

That's called being in a cult. They want somewhere to belong. Like any cult, it snatches up people in a questioning phase of their lives.

Exactly. These people are in a cult. What they need is deprogramming, not isolation and engulfment in pain, which they already get from the cult they are in.

Exactly. Fetal personhood opens up an entirely different can of worms. Some ladies have successfully made the argument that being pregnant permits them to use the carpool lane while on the freeway. There's also the possibility of taking out a life insurance policy, collecting back child support, etc.

I dunno. My boss at my current job is a former MMA fighter and I don't really consider him to be a "loose cannon". He's actually really chill. I mean, if you push him, maybe, but in general he's a really cool and supportive guy.

They figure looking at funny cat videos is worth the spam. Of course, I like the idea of paying users for their data. If data is the new oil, and we are the oil wells, it's time they paid for it.

Except in this case I think that American Catholics are more willing to resort to violence and, even if the schism doesn't make it all the way to St. Peter's Basilica, it could be messy in the US and parishes aligned with the Pope come under attack by members of parishes not aligned with the Pope.

You're basically exchanging a world-ending Gray Goo Scenario for a world-ending Green Goo Scenario.

As a history scholar, I've learned that the last time there was a major schism, it was bloody and violent. How bad would it be this time around? And, as a non-Catholic, how would I be affected? The answers to these questions will determine how I prepare for the event.

WW3: Deutschland Redemption Arc?

Big paternalistic authoritarian energy. "Those damn voters just don't know what's good for them!"

And they do the usual gaslighting and tell us we've been duped by people who are only looking out for themselves, which is also a projection.

And you do?

Exactly. When the other side is literal fascists I will, begrudgingly, vote for whoever the non-fascist is.

Exactly. There's enough actually sensible Republicans on the issue of weed to cost the GOP a few seats.

That's fair. Honestly I think perhaps such curriculum is best left in the hands of whichever organization psychiatric doctors are in.

I dunno. One bad thought can ruin the whole trip. I will agree, however, that psychedelics could have value in psychology. Some people need a good ego death.
