And a French thing too

If you can’t laugh at a joke then I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

What’s so appalling about this?

Oh I 100% agree with you here! I thought your first comment was more of a free will/non-deterministic universe POV. I guess I read more into the “CAN BE” part of the meme.

It always annoys me how determinist viewpoints are misappropriated by racist “all nature no nurture” morons instead of the provably true and effective systemic approaches instead of the dumb individualistic ones.

What else would influence human behavior at a basic level?

Control

Literally everything is out of control

Valve also doesn’t pursue anti consumer goals on daily basis.

Valve pioneered lootboxes and marketing gambling to children, why does everyone forget that?

for even having the audacity to stand up for myself

It’s not courage you’re showing, it’s frailty lol

Talking about men in a nebulous context to vent to your friend = also cringe.

Lol oh shut the fuck up

A man telling women it’s “cringe” to vent to her friends about societal issues is cringe, you moron.

I feel like the parallels between the stupid shit carnists say and your comments are obvious, but maybe you’re operating on some Idealist level of logic I’m too utilitarian to follow.

Gtfo dude how are you acting more upset than the man that went on the date with her? If he’s being more understanding then maybe you should chill the fuck out

Either you’re not vegan or you haven’t had many conversations trying to convince others to go vegan lol

Maybe I was overly harsh earlier, I saw elsewhere in the thread that you are vegan. So am I , and I’m sure you’ve heard the “I didn’t kill any animals, the farms did” or “the meat at the store is already killed” or “I’ll go vegan when eating meat is illegal” and I’m not sure how you reconcile the two.

if cats were inherently superior to dogs, dogs wouldn’t exist in the first place.

Not to take away from your overall point, but this isn’t strictly true. Evolution doesn’t favor the best, it favors the cheapest/laziest adaptation that works. And you can’t compare different species across different niches like that anyways.

“70% of fossil fuel emissions come from corporations”

“That number attributes your personal emissions to corporations, you should also try to lower your personal impact.”

“Why would I lower my personal impact, the corporations are responsible for 70% of all emissions!”

Lol come on now, at least engage with the fucking argument and facts smh

There’s already an explanation for the Mandela effect, it’s that our memories are extremely fallible and more affected by our view/environment as opposed to facts than most people believe.

Too bad this kid wasn’t born at Skywalker Ranch, then

It’s what incels think talking to a woman should be like 🤮

The French do their arguably dumber “you can’t call that thing you made what I call it even though it’s the same recipe, because it wasn’t grown where my ancient relatives made it,” though. Also France’s general xenophobia and owning a bona fide colony way later than the Anglos lol

For real or are you joking?
