So this is how I find out gimp 3 was released

There have been times in my life when I would be insecure as well, but with some hindsight I realize that if someone really was going to be an asshole to me in a moment like that, it says a lot more about them than it does me. I lose more by being guarded than by being open. I do remember those times, and my heart hurts for anyone who’s going through the same thing.

The question was rhetorical. You’re a catch. It’s okay to be shy but allowing yourself to be vulnerable is how you find the people who are worth your time.

Do you work for the FBI? I never said nothing should be done, I’m just trying to explain why nobody has started an armed insurrection. The people you have heard about who are stockpiling guns are conservatives. There you go. There is your answer.

Bait for what? Perhaps I am simply old, but why is it so unthinkable that a girl would think you are cute?

But here you are telling me to go attack the US government. They won because they have billions of dollars backing them and their rivals are ineffectual, not because they are crazy.

Any robot I can get drunk with is alright by me

To show off

Right wingers hoard guns. I have been saying for a solid fucking decade that if the left isn’t armed we’re helpless. There’s the SRA and JBGC, but a major part of the democratic platform has been “we’re gonna take your guns” since before I was born. I might go out in a blaze of glory if the brownshirts bring war to my doorstep, but I’m not picking a suicidal fight on my own.

ETA: and yes, the Democrats aren’t left wing. But they are the leftmost viable party we have. And they have been anti-gun for decades. Which means they tend to not own guns and they tend to not organize militias.

is this the part where I imply your mother has loose morals?

Those are good points. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

They hate those too don’t worry

This is somewhat tangential, but what are your thoughts on Georgism – a land value tax?

Brings to mind the barbecue speech

How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what’s intended for 9/10ths of the people to eat. The only way you’ll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub he ain’t got no business with.

Where did you hear that?

I don’t know if I believe that people will avoid the risk. Humans are god awful at wrapping their our heads around risk. If the system works well enough that it crashes, let’s say, once in 100,000 miles, many people will probably find the added convenience to be worth the chance that they might be held liable for a collision.

E, I almost forgot that I am stupid too

They just pass the cost back to us, genius. You’re lazy for not returning the cart and lazy in your justification.

The topic of this post, on the memes community, is shopping carts. I think it is an okay place to share our opinions about lazy people.

Yeah, etiquette is important. I’ll tell you off for queue jumping too, if you like. Did your parents not teach you to pick up after yourself? Do you need to be sent back to kindergarten?

Plastics are awesome, but overusing them is killing us.

Drastically less pollution, but a car is still a car. The tires still shed microplastics (more, actually), the electricity used to charge the batteries come from somewhere, and there’s a carbon footprint involved in building a new cars to replace ones that crash or age out.

Not an argument for keeping ICE vehicles, but holy hell do we need trains and buses.
