when votes are anonymous you can just not give a fuck about what they paid you to vote, you can take as many bribes as you want and vote for yourself regardless, thus people don’t really bother buying votes.

right, so i just find it a bit weird to say “sodas” when it’s a tiny minority of sodas that have caffeine

“turns out it was just ol’ Walther who wanted to keep working after his passing, we told him it wasn’t helping and actually just messed with measurements and now he’s continued into the afterlife provided that we update him on the results when we join him”

that has to be specifically coca cola, right? i don’t know of any other soda with caffeine in it, and even the amount in coke is tiny compared to something like coffee

“do you support people’s right to decide what medical procedures are or are not performed on them?”

goodness no, we can’t show warcrimes on tv

i’d say it’s totally logical to be 100% convinced that you can’t be convinced of god’s existence or non-existence

it’d be great if the existing government bodies that explicitly exist to help people find jobs did their own fucking jobs and didn’t just sit around jerking off to paperwork and humiliating poor people

the obvious solution to this is that you aren’t making a rational and sensible decision if it supports a shit system, as the rational decision would be to do anything that works toward dismantling or changing the system.

are you fucking signing your online comments

see this wouldn’t be a problem if every distro didn’t insist on having gnome as the default and main DE

obviously the future is shoving the ethernet cable up your ass and dialing in directly

meanwhile in the EU we’ll move back to cork

that’s obviously not green, that’s uhhh, hmm…
seaweed! seaweed coloured, it’s a shade of black actually.

worth noting that hieroglyphics are absolutely fucking incomprehensible even if you know how to read them, and have fun etching that stuff into stone.

i wouldn’t call it illiterate in the same way as people are these days, it’s like calling most people these days “illiterate in assembly programming language”

i think it depends on how you go about it, like imagine if you just went back in time and bought the Fallout rights from bethesda and told obsidian entertainment that they can stop crunching and just keep working on the game as long as they want, and then when they feel finished they get a nice bonus (so they don’t feel like they have to keep drawing development out to keep the salary) and after that you just sponsor modders until your money runs out.

i’d imagine that’s more down to the simple fact of having readily available energy in your body, plus stuff like food being comforting.

“well they cured my anxiety but now cats make me weep in fear and i have an addiction to cheese…”

i’m not sure how flinching from hot surfaces is an example of assigning oneself agency, i’ve never heard anyone say “yeah i chose to pull my hand away because it was hot”, everyone obviously knows that’s a reflex lol

what do you mean by “if you must eat plants”? are you promoting only eating meat?!
