  • I'm all for them! I just wish we could be adults in America and actually say, Cum semen and pussyhole (and fuck) without having to put these thingies in the middle. These thingies look like little assholes anyway. Won't someone please think of the children, and just print fuck if you mean "fuck?"

  • And that's why I spell Capitalism, "H" "I". I welcome capitalism in all it's beautiful plastic material forms, including chocolate balogna cups and popcorn buckets with fleshlight appendages.

  • I have a more "dictionary" definition of sentience, as meaning the capacity to feel, and have a degree of consciousness. Even Michael Crichton (in his book, Jurassic Park) argued that the lowest kind of plant, say a potato, has a mean degree of sentience.

    And there have been many documentaries about the organization of plant communication around their root systems - many of them. So it's not really considered pseudo-science, it may just be an idea that is beginning to be understood.

    And according to those very same documentaries, plants do possess the ability to process information. In human brains, which are much like a tangled root system, chemical processes are what create what we call "thoughts." It's the same in plant systems, chemical processes exist that enable plants to let nearby plants know if pests are chewing on them, if fire is near, and/or when they are ready to reproduce.

    So I'm not really proposing anything that is unscientific here. And when did I EVER state that "veganism is unnatural?" You said that, I didn't. I said we're "omnivores," which means were are physiologically designed to eat and grind up meat AND plant materials, both.

  • Now why, (me doing a Jack Benny impression): why, ya see - why would I go and buy stock in a company that hated everything I ever posted, and then banned me for saying that progessive thought is a good thing. I ask you.

  • Why that successful li'l mtherfcker.

    In Canadian and European magazines, if they are quoting someone and they used the word "fuck," then they just print it as "fuck." But in the U.S. they still print it as "fck." Nobody would guess what word they really had said. Because in America we're still too puritanical to accept that "fck" means "fuck."

  • I dunno how, but my brother got his PhD in three years and was a doctor by the age of 21. Yes he was pretty smart to begin with, but he really did it in record time. I don't think it would be the same today, I think requirements have changed a lot since then.

  • Aren't all posts basically shitposts and also shit posts? I mean none of this is going into "the collected book of 21st century wisdom." True that nobody cares what you have to say - so what difference does it make. Say what you want and let the buffalo chips fall wherever they will.

  • I am serious, in every discussion I've had about it some one always says, "but plants aren't living things." ?? Since when!

    I don't mean to imply that vegans are stupid or ignorant, they have their valid reasons for being vegans. And I'm on the same wavelength with them about sentience in animals - I think they very much are sentient beings, and the way they are harvested for meat is cruel and extreme.

    I also think plants have a degree of sentience - in that they can breathe and communicate (via chemicals) to other plants, the way trees "warn" each other of pests through their root systems.

    But we're omnivores, and there's no way I can excuse any of it, it's just what we are. We all eat living things. It's human nature. Even mushrooms contain living larva - most canned mushrooms, for example, have some maggots since they are where flies like to lay their eggs. It's just something we learn to live with even it it's gross and/or unpleasant.

  • So true. No matter how we pollute the air, fill our veins with plastic and nuke ourselves out of existence, the earth will ultimately be fine and still continue on.

    Ironic to think that after we're wiped out, some of the things likely to survive, for awhile, will be the millions of tombstones standing or crumbling to ruin in cemeteries.

  • Yeeaahhhhh except that it's not meant to be taken literally. It's just a metaphor for how different men's and women's behaviors can be. Who knows whether on some other planet with humanoid life forms, they will have genders of male or female or anything remotely similar to what we know on earth. It would be funny to see what their idea of "porn" is. Especially if their genders and genitals are vastly different from our own, we'll probably not see their pornography as being pornographic or obscene at all, just funny-looking.

  • I was cleaning my cat's litter box before rushing out the door to work, I had CNN on and they were talking about a plane hitting one of the twin towers, and I thought "how weird is that - what are the odds." I remembered a plane had once hit the Empire State building many decades ago, so I just thought it was some bizarre freak accident.

    And just before I was about to turn off the TV, the second plane hit. And I thought, what a weird freaky turn of events!!! It still hadn't ocurred to me it was some kind of terrorist attack.

  • Apparently they go for $25 in the theater, but they are selling online (depending on shipping) for $75 upwards to $1000. I just bought one for $85, hoping it will go up in price as the years go by. I mean - who wouldn't want their own popcorn bucket / official Dune fleshlight.

  • I just paid $85 (including shipping) for one online. I'm not a huge fan of the movies, but anything that looks like this has got "future collector's item" all over it. And I want one! Just hoping they really go up in value with time.
