This feels tantalizingly close to the truth.

What the fuck are “unregretted user minutes”? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.

Strange that they think this isn’t a negative PR hit, then.

“This will help me become president FOR SURE!” he said, then spun the little spinny propeller on his beanie cap.

And twitter. And mastodon. And lemmy ffs, we’re not immune. (I’m doing it right now, in fact.)

Eat shit, 6-year-old

You’re going to get to! That’s what they will actually be doing if the class action lawsuits don’t crash them.

Art doesn’t need to know this answer that badly. This fucking guy has taken

• dilaudid
• morphine
• opium
• nitrous
• pcp
• meth
• lighter fluid, by huffing
• cough syrup at a dose of “two bottles”

I don’t even know what a few of these things are, and I’m not going to look up and see how crazy the doses on everything else are, but based on the ones I do know I can only conclude that this guy is trying to kill himself.

And he’s succeeding, from the sound of it.

He’s already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby

Because as a society we’ve forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people

“Oh, I’m not a sapiosexual myself, but I am a know-it-ally.”

We’ve been at war continuously for the last 20 years, actually. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a literal fact about the way post-9/11 America structured the powers of the presidency to declare and then just maintain a state of war.

Muslims and Mormons have similar strictures around caffeine.

For me it was the yoga. I’ll bet modern Islam doesn’t have much of a reaction to it. In US religions. yoga is in the category of “things foreigners do” and is therefore of the devil.

It isn’t “objectively harmful” any more than playing beach volleyball in the sun is “objectively harmful”. You can do it responsibly, protect yourself, limit your exposure. And when you do, you can enjoy yourself, which is the opposite of harm. Just because alcohol can be abused doesn’t mean it must be. Most people who partake of alcohol enjoy the net good of its benefits. Most people do not become alcoholics, most people do not die of cirrhosis, most people do not die of liver cancer.

This last part is actually true of all drugs: the most fantastically addictive substances on earth, like meth and heroin, still have more casual users than addicts.

So, Mormon or Muslim? I’m betting Mormon.

Of course you understand some dog barks, you just don’t think about it because humans process language innately, we have specialized brain structures for it.

I’ll bet you can recognize “I see a threat” and 'I’m in pain" when you hear them. Maybe even distinguish them from “happy excitement”

and i figured you’d read what i actually wrote instead of arguing with someone who didn’t exist

Yes, I know all that. The argument I was replying to was that you run out of trees if you use them to make paper without recycling. That argument is false. You’re arguing with points I didn’t make.

No, this isn’t solved by having a whole forest available when you scale up the consumer side too.

You’re seriously underestimating how many trees there are. The only reason we’re losing forest is because of grazing land. That’s clearcutting, where you remove the tree and just destroy it or just burn the whole forest. As a vegetarian I’m obviously not here to defend grazing land, but if you look only at wood and paper production, we absolutely can replace the trees we use with enough time for them to regrow completely.

Doing so devastates ecosystems by turning them into monocultures, but you’re only talking about the replacement rate of trees. We don’t have to worry about the replacement rate of trees, we have to worry about greed for land and environmental impact.

Oh jesus christ. Powerful men do not need weird nerds jumping in front of their bullets. The guy is a fucking shitshow.
