Far out, man

Look man when I was a kid Pluto was a planet. Therefore Pluto will always be a planet.

This mental inflexibility on my part may be related to autism, but I will never admit it.

If you haven’t tried L-theanine it might be useful for you as a way to avoid panic attacks.

You can get it naturally if you drink tea instead of coffee, but if you prefer coffee you can use L-theanine to prevent the anxiety from overcaffeination.

I most certainly was not.

Did you pick anything up when you read Marx? Are you able to articulate your thinking here?

Adding ice is ridiculous. Add Pepsi

Actually the science on this shows that kids who grow up close to manure have lower incidence of allergies and other autoimmune problems.

The reason for avoiding pasteurization is to maintain nutrients.

It’s got nothing to do with whatever ethic might require a person to purposefully invite infection, as this post seems to presuppose.

Violence is justified to defend oneself or one’s allies from violent aggression, and that’s it.

Retirement and open source contribution sounds like an excellent combination to me. Give the old men something to do, let the projects be worked on by people who can take their time, make the best use of the expertise. All that sounds great.

Because older men tend to be more financially secure and hence have more time for generosity.

I don’t see how it’s “culture war circle jerk” to run a poll on how many people think discriminating based on race is okay. Care to explain?

Literally no part of this is arguing that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against minorities.

DEI is discriminating against majorities. Anything other than merit as a consideration is discrimination.

Was it you that removed my comment?

Very cool resource! Thank you! I'm looking up all sorts of stuff in there

It was upvoted at first but then went negative. I have to say it's a relief that people aren't yet willing to embrace that position openly.

“world police” means doing police work at a global level.

Police fundamentally exist so that individuals can outsource their security to the state. Police disincentivize coercion by maintaining the ability to do violence and doing violence on those who use violence. It allows individuals to not have to think about physical in order to move freely.

“world police” means one country’s military defending other countries so that those countries don’t have to maintain a military or handle their own security.

The meaning of the phrase is inherent to the phrase’s word: it just means playing a police role (punishing aggression between third parties to maintain a peaceful atmosphere) for the world (planet Earth).

Did Obama succeed?

Can individuals also support Ukraine? What about corporations? Does Ukraine accept donations from private entities?
