Well said. Anarchism has received horrible press at the hands of Big Democracy but many of our current problems are rooted in the concentration of power, money and influence that capitalist societies seem to produce. On the other hand, can we live without the many products and technology that require large scale effort? It feels like that would be a major challenge for any fledgling anarchic society.

Make the eggs bigger

Jokes on you, I already have crabs

You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?

Holy crap that’s a lot of people and gear to lose generally, never mind throwing it away on such a pointless mission.

Someone please go spike his coffee with whatever dosage is needed to trigger death

The current scale of Lemmy is appealing. It doesn’t have the same breadth but I happily trade the toxic elements of Reddit, etc, for a little breadth.

I wish I didn’t have this giant penis.

That depends what colour your skin is or if you wear any non christian headgear, symbols, etc.

The premise of most of these type of arguments is that intelligence is something we can measure. Meanwhile, nobody knows what’s going on inside their own brains, never mind other species.

Until very recently we just assumed that animals don’t have a complex inner life because it doesn’t superficially resemblance our own. It’s also convenient to make that assumption if you’re going to industrially farm those animals or destroy their habitats, etc.

I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it’s difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It’s slim pickings.

Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.

That’s a good way of looking at it.

It’s one of the many benefits of cycling. You get perfect visibility of the driver’s anguished expression while they wait in traffic. Unfortunately, the cyclist pays the ultimate price when the driver makes a mistake like having one too many drinky poos at the office party and getting behind the wheel.

I’ve had a few trips over the years but never used them in a therapeutic setting. My mental health has become more fragile as I’ve got older and I took up meditation over the last year in an effort to improve it. They say that meditation works by stilling something called the Default Mode Network and psychedelic drugs also work on this process in your mind but in a completely different way. The plan is to take a Heroic Dose of mushrooms (people say 5g of dry shrooms) and then do an assimilation session afterwards. The session is guided by an experienced person.

Your camel adventure sounds great but all the camels I met so far have been hella grumpy. I would be worried that they were going to bite me for snoring too much. Well, that’s what my wife does.

Also conserve drugs

It’s the strategic thing to do. Tell the court what they want to hear in order to improve your chances of a reduced sentence. I would imagine that the judge has decided the sentence before they hear the final plea but it can’t hurt to try some last ditch emotional manipulation.

It’s a breakfast food item that you pour beer over.

Did your interviewer profess to be a 10 in .net, otherwise how would they know what that looks like? I was told that I’m unsuitable as a programmer of PLC because I never used their software before. That I write the algorithms that go into a PLC was not sufficient. These people are looking for unicorns but find donkeys everywhere they look.

Boom

We only care about the foetus
