Sucks that this even needs to be said.

In real life, this often tends to be

for bisexuals and a borderline Klan rally against trans people. LGBTQ has an issue with weirdos who want to remove one or all of the other letters, especially the B and the T.

Preferring summer and warmth is a form of weakness, and Sam Houston knew that’s why the South would lose.

Most tragically of all, Ogre doesn’t know that this matches, or even eclipses, Joyce’s own understanding.

You will if you take like 800mg. You won’t even need to go to sleep to have the nightmares, through the magic of deliriant psychosis

Yes, you can set the theme for all websites to Light in the add-on’s settings.

We already have an Everything App that allows you to execute all the different functions of your phone, it’s called the operating system. The proposed app would just be a smaller, shittier OS with fewer functions and no choices. Elon is a failed Steve Jobs—which is depressing because Jobs was also a charlatan—who thinks “what if it was one thing” is actually the answer the all technology, because he doesn’t understand technology as well as he thinks. Pro tip: carrying around 1 device instead of a cell phone, a pager, an mp3 player, and a PDA is helpful. Consolidating different functions that have no reason to interplay with each other into a big mess is not.

tl;dr it’s shit from a butt

Sweet and savory clash horribly. I will never understand why anybody wants to put syrup in or on their meat.

Because their palate developed.

Sweet and savory clash horribly.

Not everyone’s does, sadly.

I hit a nonhuman biologic with my car once and it didn’t even flinch, but possums are resilient creatures.

Here’s a condensed version of the article:

Language Learning Model Outputs the Same Kind of Data as its Input

New groundbreaking journalism has discovered that when you analyze a large pluratily of a given language’s written works, you get data that reflects the biases of the people who wrote it all down, most of whom died 100+ years ago. No word yet as to when the author plans to publish illuminating, hard-hitting investigative journalism into the effects of microwaves on popcorn.

Is this before or after the comic where he defeated birth control to impregnate his wife without her consent?

How much have you had to drink today?

People like this don’t feel remorse, they aren’t capable of it. Lying to placate the dumb masses is natural to them, because they assume that all other human beings can only feel either rage or greed like they do.

• like is there a theoretical optimal license for certain things?
• could a one-size-fits-all license possibly exist?

I assume “public domain” isn’t the answer you’re looking for

Let me just skip the implications and address your real meta point: no I am not a January 6 apologist or sympathizer.

Yeah, sure, lobsters (which are also arthropods) only get eaten because people don’t have anything else.

At first I thought you were being completely serious, but then I realized that you were being sarcastic after you told me, good thing you did! Anyway, lobsters were eaten because there was nothing else. Making them into a luxury dish is a modern affectation. That’s not an actual counterargument to the real point here, but it needed to be said.

Agreed. But you have not presented any reason for putting “eating insects” in the same category as “shivering in the cold” and “being murdered for your shiny rocks”. Some social constructs are useful, but they’re not useful by virtue of being social constructs.

My reason is the only reason that actually exists when it comes to the value of social constructs: consensus. Most people find eating vermin to be disgusting for some reason, and they avoid doing so if it doesn’t increase their likelihood of starving to death. Which is why you find this aversion to be less prevalent in cultures where famine and starvation exist right now and/or in living memory—and thanks to colonialism, there are a lot of deadly famines in living memory in the third world. I agree that social constructs don’t have any intrinsic value, but what difference does it make? Social constructs have the value people place on them, and that value can be imported from other places. Eating bugs is, to most people, disgusting. Like all value statements, this should be understood within its context as being a statement of arbitrary value that is supported by the consensus of a large plurality of people (though this one has majority support). Asking for quantification of it like “why is this a right thing to believe?” is just asking “why do we value what we value instead of valuing something else?”, to which the only actual answer that matters is “because it had to be something, and we got this”. But as I said, values get imported from elsewhere, like trauma or instinct, such as how European culture developed certain values around hygiene after and in response to the plagues. In my opinion it’s reasonable to assume that human beings are instinctively averse to writhing masses of disgusting vermin that are usually found in places like fetid bogs and putrid rotting corpses, and that we are far less averse to things that resemble our ancestral natural prey, like deer and geese.

Also, the idea of the comic as I interpreted it is that the upper class thinks pandering will trick poor people into enjoying eating bugs while they themselves continue to eat meat, which has a meta-point to it told through subtext, like all jokes do: that capitalists value having what other people don’t have, that they think the “poors” can be tricked out of it like simpletons, and that they think humiliating the poor and exploiting them in their humiliation is a virtue as long as it’s profitable. I would have explained this to the other guy arguing with me, but he gallantly resists being reasoned with and seems much happier nailing himself to the cross.

you can’t read for shit, throwing hissy fits every time you got mild criticism, and walking around like that stick up your ass is made of solid gold

Project much? I was accurate in my assessment the entire time: you’re the kind of person who brings their conclusion to a discussion, emotionally argues backwards from it, and tries to “win” by ridiculing their “opponent”. The fact that I’m ignoring sophistical window-dressing in favor of skipping to your actual meta point—and unmercifully making fun of you for being too dense to get it—does not make me a Nazi. The horrible truth is that despite feeling strongly, you’re really just wrong anyway, a phenomenon that I’m sure has happened one or two other times in your life. Maybe you should get a grip, or at least go deliberately misinterpret somebody who doesn’t see through it.

The fact that I don’t suffer fools makes me alt-right? Funny how it always comes back to guilt by association. Maybe once you grow up a little you’ll also outgrow the mentality that everyone speaks in coded signal language like huge fucking dorks.

Cultures of starvation. If rich Western countries were giving away all the perfectly good food they trash, I guarantee you eating arthropods would stop in a generation. You could also pretty fairly argue that the entire point of social constructs like society is to avoid shivering in the cold, being murdered for your shiny rocks, or eating insects.

Thanks, but I had a big breakfast; I don’t have any room for substanceless word salad.
