Being rich makes you so divorced from consequences that you start to believe that what is in your brain is what is real. Money isn't what we think it is.

I feel like this thread is full of Disney lawyers trying out arguments to help them prep

Cuckoldry has no temporal dimension

If a conservative's wife had sex with someone before she married him, the conservative is a cuck. In order to avoid this humiliation, conservatives advocate marrying children. This is consistent and inevitable logic

I used to wonder what happened to kids who would always change the rules in the middle of a game like, "nuh uh nuh uh I have a shield around my whole body that blocks lasers," so that they never ever lose. I thought they just grew out of it but now I realize they all became corporate lawyers for tech companies

Just going to keep posting this every time it comes up.

We could reduce energy and materials cost of global production worldwide to 30% current capacity by planning production instead of leaving it to the market, and greatly increase the standard of living for everyone on this planet. But first we have to get rid of capitalism and institute democratic socialist planning.

In college I got invited to hang with my Korean neighbors downstairs who were making brownies. One guy is stirring the butter, another is breaking up the weed to add to it. As this is going on, they're packing bowls to pass around, everyone is getting stupid high, just me and like 8 Korean dudes.

Brownies go in the oven, bowls keep getting packed and passed around. Finally the brownies come out, and everybody there has an acute case of the munchies, so we are all like desperately reaching our hands into the warm brownies, stuffing our faces with them until we devour the whole pan. 40 minutes to an hour later everyone is laying on the floor, groaning, giggling, just a room full of deleted dudes. I don't remember much else but that was an important lesson, don't get high while making brownies without any other food around, cuz when you hit those brownies they're gonna hit back

People are so up in arms at the seeming contradiction of Amish using a light and a battery on their buggies.

Guess what: most Amish businesses have cell phones. If you drive through Amish country in Ohio, you will see dozens of people in Amish garb riding e-bikes.

I hate cars and judges, and frankly Ohio is a hellhole; but if some lights are going to make people safer it really isn't going to be that big of a burden. If the judge says they have to do it, then their community elders will approve it, nbd.

None of you ever had Mennonite friends and it shows.

The Elephant and Mice episode was so wild, because if I remember correctly, the elephant didn't act afraid of the mouse, it acted afraid it would step on and harm the mouse; as if the elephant had a basic understanding and concern for the wellbeing of another creature conspicuously lacking in many human beasts

There's no jailbait, no upskirts, no fatpeoplehate, so Lemmy is still better

I think the best we can hope for is house arrest, which would still be really good since he couldn't campaign. I doubt he will go to prison even though it would be amazing and hilarious to see him in those paper thin orange prison jump suits. He could be roommates with Nicholas Tartaglione, but I can only get so optimistic

No one I know who does serious work on Palestine is only working on that one issue, wasn't doing anything before and won't do anything after. Burnout is incredibly high among activist leaders right now. Cut us some slack please

"We should take care of our own people before helping other abroad," says guy who would gouge out his children's eyes before doing anything to help a single unhoused person
