Por que no los dos? The government is NOT faultless in this, but how often are those regulations removed because a company lobbyist bribed them hinted very strongly that they would like that?

Maybe we should have rules in place that provide more protection for actual human beings instead of prioritizing profit margins or pretending that "Basic Economics" is a universal law rather than a guideline of how people interact with each other. Sorry, I'm not mad at you, just the system we live in

And even though they technically don't FORCE you, like you said, American society does everything within its power to convince you that you really, REALLY should

True, but it still exists. Obviously the controversy wasn't THAT big of a deal

He's South African, so technically part of the Commonwealth

THAT HURT MY HAND!!

Obviously. Everyone in my head says I'm hilarious

I'm definitely one of those people, but I work in an office where they let us watch shit on our phones as long as the work still gets done. A hell of a lot easier to watch YT videos than to try to sneak an Xbox S into a cubicle farm ¯(ツ)/¯

That's actually Rule #1 for every aspect of American life, not just healthcare

Touche. But no, my point was more of a haphazard reflection on how both the Trolley Problem and Prisoner's Dilemma are (by design) built on the idea of reducing human life and/or morality and empathy down to a math problem. It is a method of thought that has its purposes, sure, but I think too many people make that their default setting, which makes dehumanization more common, even if subconsciously. Idk man, I'm going through some stuff

Edit: Fixed a pretty bad typo

You need to watch more shows. Don't get me wrong, I like The Good Place and what they were trying to do with it, but yeah no there's a lot of other shows that are just as educational and well written that don't have to do a show-wide reset to start every season

I see what you're trying to do and you're not necessarily wrong, but you're kinda perpetuating the attitude that inspired someone to make this meme in the first place

Not to mention the half-dozen times the Joker tried to poison Gotham by putting Joker Toxin in the water supply

The gas stoves themselves aren't the only reason, but they help contribute to a lower lifespan. Also 2 years over the course of, like, 75 years? Yeah that sounds about right

That's the only reason it got my upvote

I'll give you 3 guesses

To be fair, hordes of people believing in the Anti-Christ is also supposed to be one of the signs

3. Penis worms?

I was in Spirit Halloween yesterday and they had a Hawk Tuah costume (it was like a handyman jumpsuit that said something like "Hawk Tuah Lubricants")

Somebody get this man some ice to fry!
