- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 2 days ago:
Many years ago I got banned from r/conservative for asking where exactly conservation came into play as part of their ideology. On its face, being conservative sounds awesome. I want to conserve this planet’s ecology. I want to conserve human rights. I have never seen any conservative American politician in the last thirty some-odd years try to conserve anything. It would be much more apt to call them regressionists, but they’re so much worse than that.
But since you willingly identify yourself as a conservative, and you’re here, what is your take?

I’m not sure it’s possible to put it all back together again even if it’s possible to put dems in charge.
We crossed this threshold on day 3.
- Comment on Elon Musk calls for dissolution of parliament at far-right rally in London 4 days ago:
He could give every member of the committee a billion dollars and be none the poorer for it.
Not that you’re wrong, but with a tyrant of his means, who’s essentially above the law, well…

It’s aways nice to see reading comprehension out in the wild.

Okay, I suppose I was too vague.
Is it [Richard’s comments] even close to [ being as bad as] publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.
I’m saying Richards may be a better person than Seinfeld, but I wouldn’t excuse his words or actions because they’re not something a non-racist would ever even think to do or say.
Hope that is clear now.
- Comment on No words 4 days ago:
Also a hell no. In fact what are you talking about? What did I say that you feel implied that?
- Comment on No words 4 days ago:
Is it even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no. Is it something a non-racist person would ever even think to say? Also hell no.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 2 weeks ago:
People are stretched as thin as can be and stressed beyond belief. Then during their free time they are inundated by algorithms that are made to keep them scrolling and to feel as many negative emotions as possible. Then their food is full of hormones and their food wrappers and cosmetics and toiletries are all full of phthalates and microplastics and undisclosed hormone disrupting chemicals. All in a progressively protestant society that increasingly isolates us from one another and shames us for our natural urges and feelings and bodies, all in the name of selling us unnatural solutions for these “problems.”
It’s a mystery though.

Akshually this is from one of his Harmontown rants ~2014 but it does totally always make me think of Talkie Toaster.

You gave me cancer and I’m rude? :(
Is it an important distinction or an opinion? If it’s an important distinction then maybe explaining that distinction would help?

Wow, your pedantry gave me cancer 🤕

To quote Dan Harmon:
If you ask a toaster, “What’s the most important thing in the world?” it’s going to tell you, “Bread.” And if you ask a toaster its opinion of bread, it’s going to tell you, "It’s not toasted enough. So let’s look at the television as an appliance. What’s it doing? It’s making you watch it. “Is your neighbor racist? Is it dangerous to go outside? Fuck yeah!” says the television, “Does your racist neighbor have bread?” says the toaster. “Bring it in here!” "And if you cant finish it, put it in me’ says the refrigerator. But the fucking television is the worst of all. It’s telling you, “Whatever you do, stay in your living room and it will tell you anything to make that happen.”
So now let’s look at the internet as an appliance…

I’ve got to ask, what is it about earthworms that scares you? Are you genuinely afraid of being hurt by one or is it something else? Do you yourself see the fear as something perfectly rational that you don’t understand how others aren’t aren’t afraid, or do you often feel silly, but you just can’t help how you feel? No shade, feel free to tell me to shove off, I’m just genuinely interested in what that looks like from your POV.
Your comment made me think about how I haven’t even seen an earthworm in years that I didn’t go out of my way to see. I’d love to take a walk with you so you can point out all the earthworms I’m missing in my day to day.

The Berenstain Bears mandela effect definitely predates Harambe, and though I definitely remember the cornucopia I’m willing to admit there could be a valid explanation for that. But The Berenstain Bears… I will die on this hill. I was an extremely pedantic and detail oriented child who loved to read and only had so many books. I can vividly recall many nights spent secretly awake studying the covers of those books, tracing and reading and reading it, thinking they must be Jewish like me even though they act very Christian. There is not a doubt in my mind they were The Berenstein Bears. Most purported mandela effects are clearly just people misremembering, but I will die on Berenstein hill.

I like webghost0101’s Idea:
[…] a blockchain linked video camera where metadata of footage gets written into the chain to combat fake news and misinformation.
The goal would be to create a proof and record of original footage, to which media publishers and people who share can link towards to verify authenticity/author.
If the media later gets manipulated or reframed you would be able to verify this by comparing it to the original record.

"I heard one of the mums say “why did you do that in front of my child?” and he said “it’s vermin, you should teach your children about vermin”
I said ‘why did you do that’ and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away’
Sounds like a great guy. He’s lucky to have you here defending him for some reason.
