  • That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅



  • Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).

    That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.



  • When it comes to video games, idgaf if someone wants to give a game dev thousands of their own dollars because they want to pay an idiot tax.

    It’s a free market, and we’re all free to just not play the fucking game. Actually that’s the default so just doing nothing is plenty.

    I get what you’re saying but we’re not talking about groceries here, we’re talking about something that could literally cease to exist and aside from some folks maybe being out of work nobody would even notice or care. I do agree though that strong regulation is much better than expecting consumers to stop consuming something as long as it’s a necessary thing or something with quite inelastic demand (ie: medicine).


  • Hopefully all 3 but as the other poster said, Nazis really were clowns.

    Sure, Hitler had some early successes militarily - combined arms blitzkrieg was a new deal and effective - but it’s not like that won the war. Besides which there is just so much dumbass occult bullshit going on in the background with the Nazis like you would not believe.

    You don’t need to be smart or super competent to get a bunch of people killed. You just need enough people willing to pull the triggers and for the rest of the people to go along. Going along is easy until it ends with shit like the Holocaust.



  • I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics.

    That right there is why I’m really worried about the next 4 or more years right now as a citizen of the USA. Like, we’re just going to create this power vacuum through dumbass Don’s executive fun time and China will happily exploit that and lap up the material rewards.

    I feel like I’m watching a game of Civilization get played by a moron. It’s excruciating. Only way any of it makes sense is that Trump literally is a Russian agent because otherwise why the fuck is he trying to drive our country off a cliff?






  • Thank you for the lengthy write up. You see though the problem with watching it all is I’d be watching it all… I do appreciate the time it must have taken for this reply though.

    That clip on YouTube you linked was super cringe. Agree with you on TNG there’s definitely times and episodes where I think the writers phoned it in and I’m not going to pretend it’s all good. Still my favorite star trek but I don’t watch much so that’s not saying anything considering I haven’t even seen any of the new stuff.
