Isn’t that vaguely what the villain of ready player one does?

“Politicians shouldn’t be X”

“BuT WHaT aBOuT tHIs pOLiTiCIaN?”

“yeah, them too”

Literally every fucking time lmao

The funny thing is, that probably makes them an even better imitator of the average twitter user(and person, if we’re honest).

Yarrr harrr fiddily de dee

One of the few things I go back to the old site for is /r/eatcheapandhealthy - you need the time to make the food, but you can make very little cash go a long way, especially if you’re buying beans/lentils/oats dried and soaking them overnight rather than buying canned.

China states that eating food reduces symptoms of starvation

WELL I GUESS AS A DEMOCRAT I MUST ABSTAIN FROM ALL FOOD TO PROVE THEM WRONG

My gut reaction would be “actions still have consequences motherfucker”, but my gut would also be to immediately remove this person from ever interacting with me again.

Sometimes, the results of something you do don’t quite match your intentions. Mistakes happen, miscommunications happen. A genuine person would respond “oh fuck, that is NOT how I meant that”, and apologize. A gaslighter does the above.

That’s an awful lot of words to say it’s a backdoor that could, plausibly, have been installed unintentionally, but is still very much a backdoor.

there is no coal plant incident even remotely theoretically possible that can render massive regions inhospitable for centuries

If you ignore the incident we’ve all been watching slowly unfold for centuries with our thumbs up our asses, and oil spills to a lesser extent, sure

Including disasters like Chernobyl, nuclear energy causes several magnitudes less deaths than fossil fuels. It is utterly fucking insane for the concern to be “the horrors” of the three meltdowns you’re thinking of, of which the only one to kill or injure any civilians was Chernobyl. Fukushima did have some workers undergo significantly higher than usual radioactive doses - I invite you to contrast this with the mortality rate of, say, working on an oil rig.

Fossil fuels are killing this planet before your very eyes. I am thrilled by the progress renewables are making, and small scale nuclear is quite likely the only new nuclear we would benefit from constructing these days. But we could have saved an ungodly amount of fossil fuels being burned and thus lives if it wasn’t for this argument.

The value of those “real goods” is typically just as fake as the value of fiat currencies anyways. Trying to use things with actual usefulness as money has its own issues too.

It will never not be fucking hilarious to me that one of the most holier-than-thou textbook american white moderate liberal people I know works at xitter.

Making something to make humans suffer is still making it for humans

Are we trying to say Trump’s the Hindenberg of our time now? Pretty sure he still counts as a nazi too.

(homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.

Americans aren’t going to do anything

Sometimes it just takes us a bit.

Gotta love you throwing shade at people “going on social media doing nothing” while you sit, on social media, doing nothing lmao.

Occasionally, there will be a game I want to play as soon as it releases - even then, I’ll maybe wait until the last hour before release to “pre order”, just as one last fuck you to the concept.

🥱 cope and seethe, your downvotes mean nothing.

If you want overtly lefty stuff without the chinese government ball fondling, solarpunk is a pretty good instance, or .blahaj if you’re more interested in social/gender issues.

It is fucking hilarious for the tankieverse to blame somewhere else for being too hard on censorship lmao y’all really are something
