I think the issue is we don’t really have a measurement for intelligence. Qualitatively, I think you are more intelligent if you have the reasoning capabilities to logic yourself out of reactionary feelings like racism, but it’s really hard to measure that.

My point is not what my line for murdering someone is or how it compares to anyone else’s. My point is that most people have that line, so it’s not very deep to point out that it exists, and all of them will believe that they are still the Good Person and the person they want to murder is the Bad Person as laid out in the OP.
Now the very last sentence is a bit wibbly. I’m sure that many people might not automatically send someone who disagrees with their line into the Bad Person zone, but I’m sure you could construct scenarios similar to the last line that people would end up agreeing with, they just think that their particular line is justified.

I think funnily enough heart attack was meant as a catch-all kind death for people that was the authors first thought to just move past that hurdle. Heart attacks are definitely not the least harmful way to die, well, it depends on the type of heart attack. Certain aneurysms might be more painless. But overall it’s a bit of a hand wave.
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 weeks ago:
(almost) Literally everyone inside and outside of social media. Everyone has a line for when they would murder someone, or at the very least think they deserve to die somehow. And almost everyone of those people would think they’re still a good person while wishing death on someone.
The op seems like a clever sort of epiphany about how everyone’s a hypocrite but it’s not that deep.
I think social media allows people to post their first gut reaction faster than they can think. And I think the op is maybe referring to specific online bubbles that will extrapolate “I don’t like dogs” into knowing that that person would be better off dead, but as it is I don’t think this post says much in itself.

It’s crazy that the tragedy of the commons is only a problem because the commons are also free for people to close up and start charging for.

I think twitter also might still give blue check marks to “important” people it’s just available for anyone to buy now

But then the guy wouldn’t have “watched her chug vodka for 5 minutes” he would have watched her take one shot and 4.9 minutes not chugging. I don’t think they mean chugging for 5 minutes straight but I also think it’s silly to pretend like it was a teensy sip of vodka.
- Comment on mindset 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but why are we making fun of a guy for doing what he loves (posting “but what about men?” In a post talking about women)?
(This is a joke btw.)
- Comment on Rough date 3 weeks ago:
And there’s a difference between “I’ll have a sip of vodka to loosen me up” and “I’ll ‘pound shots’ and ‘chug from the bottle’ for 5 minutes”

- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
Reading this thread I think the conclusion is that both men and women can consider themselves “perverted” but the bounds of what each consider “too extreme” is so different that they both think that the other side is just too kinky/disgusting.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
Also these “jokes” come from the long history of women having to marry for status/stability instead of being able to think about their own attraction.
- Comment on Anon does some genealogy 4 weeks ago:
I thought it was a joke. Rephrase it a bit and it would be a funny standup routine. I guess anon should have emphasized that they didn’t support slavery (if they did) but it is a funny concept to ask how they fumbled the bag so hard.

- Comment on Is Roots really that controversial that it needs to be banned? Haven't watched the movie cause I quit pot and haven't read the book but isn't it like historical or something? 1 month ago:
After some research it originated in the movie “half baked” and has been referenced more than once across other stoner films. So the guy’s not completely off his rocker.

Can you name more than one movie where they do this? I’m curious.

It was immediately and obviously debunked when conservatives and their movement were most vulnerable so the reaction was to cling to the totem of Ivermectin like it could give them salvation.

Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it’s like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.
You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.

So often it’s me typing out a big old comment. Realizing I can preempt some nuance to help the conversation. Thinking of a dozen more little nitpicks that might happen and realizing it’s just not worth it and it’s really the idiocy of the argument that’s making it so hard to explain myself.

- Comment on why does almost nobody live here? 2 months ago:
I’ve had similar thoughts. It’s ocean-side cities along America’s West coast, it’s along the same coast as some of the most desirable locations to live in the world (SF, LA, and many cities in between and beyond.) it seems strange that the population moves further inland when you look on a map.
- Comment on why does almost nobody live here? 2 months ago:
What the hell lmao. You made an argument for why people don’t live in New York because I don’t move to New York.
And implied that literally everywhere else in the world besides where I live has reasons why “nobody” lives there because I don’t live there.
The logic isn’t strictly wrong per se, it’s just something akin to a tautology, it means nothing.

I think, like valium, you have to keep yourself awake. Either artificially or somehow through willpower
- Comment on Wasted potential. 2 months ago:
If you don’t like or don’t want to explore music, that’s your prerogative. It’s a hobby and a skill you can build like anything else.
You could have the one pop, country, or metal song/artist you enjoy and not branch out, it’s perfectly valid, but if you like the sound of a particular song or genre there are many songs in other genres that will have the same vibe. It’s just up to you to explore.
I think part of the problem here is that a “genre” is a vague, idiosyncratic definition that overlaps with every other so-called genre.
