That’s a good way to get the military to start bombing US cities.

The backing of the Commander In Chief, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Written laws don’t matter right now.

You keep it in the fridge and I can buy it at my local grocery store.

No fair, we already have too many of these fucks.

Not weird if they started getting harassed about it.

Publicly traded companies are always going to turn to shit, the “Spotify model” is just appeasing shareholders with infinite growth.

The patients have an excuse.

Those damned blue-collar tweekers, they’re runnin this here town.

Why even have kids if they can’t be warrior-slaves for your crusade?

Solar power is not a feasible solution in all parts of the world, though, and large-scale storage is still very much an issue.

I didn’t think my point needed a “history of music” lesson attached. The rock bands of the 60s were taking the experiments of swing and blues musicians from the decade prior and refining them into the aggressive, over-driven and distorted arrangements. Not “rock & roll”.

The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, these guys were inventing the sound of rock. I think they’re fantastic musicians. But Rush and Pink Floyd stand out more to me as timeless art.

More likely than the average Joe but guiding, like teaching or storytelling, is a distinct skill. Lots of people are totally blind to their own biases and the hypothetical 4 hour opera without context would definitely make me doubt their advice.

The media is captured, it’s complicit, it’s bought and controlled by people like Murdoch.

Alright, well, I don’t believe in ghost stories.

Yep. I don’t want to but there’s nothing particularly distressing about the idea. I’ve never felt “existential angst” or anything like that.

European settlers hated pretty much everything about the New World and tried to replace local flora and fauna with things they recognized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acclimatisation_society

Nuts? No. It’s logical when the entire system is built to the benefit of heartless capitalists. What it is is enraging.

I just have no interest in being polite, permissive, or accepting of pseudoscience.

My intuition about souls is that they’re nonsense.
