Yep. My dad believes you can cure a venomous snake bite, ANY species, by giving yourself an electric shock, preferably from a spark plug. Works equally effectively (it doesn’t work, don’t bother) for literally any insect bite. He also believes witches are eating babies in the forest nearby. Needless to say, he doesn’t understand evolution either. He falls for scams left and right, always has.

Thanks, I needed that.

Same here. Grew up deep in the South. Kids got in trouble for racist talk in public school.

Soon. Soon.

I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.

Look, I’m sure in the year 1985 you can get plutonium at the local drug store, but in 1955 it’s a bit hard to come by!

Ok whatever.

I don’t believe you have the guts to admit when you’re wrong and change your mind. So why waste any more time with you?
- Comment on Enshittification 2 months ago:
No, it isn’t.

LoL ok.

No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That’s why we have a government.

You’ve had this explained to you endlessly already. Because the point of sociwty isn’t to root for bad businesses failing. It’s to ensure the just treatment of all people. You just don’t care about that because you care more about pretending to be superior than about building an actual society.
- Comment on Enshittification 2 months ago:
We had that. Now the racists are in charge, they’re burning it all down and proppjng pathetically incompetent white conservatives. The experiment already ran for centuries in this country, and clearly demonstrated the idiocy of racism. But bigots never get sick of trying it again. Racist businesses will fail, yet again. What about that are you not understanding?
- Comment on Enshittification 2 months ago:
Because race is irrelevant. Bigotry is not.
- Comment on Enshittification 2 months ago:
Because for bigots, racism trumps profits.

DEI ensured that qualified minorities could not legally be passed over by racists in favor of UNqualified whites, as clearly you are. I would never offer you a job.

There didn’t use to be so many days over 100F in FL. And there didn’t use to be so many warm days in the dead of winter in North Dakota.

Well, that’s certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I’ve got shelves of neglected books that need attention.

Yet comparing all socialism to the Soviet Union is exactly what you did.

Damn, that’s a great idea. I gotta go back and finish that series.

Let me guess. Post-Russian? Don’t blame communism for Russia’s glaring flaws.

Not anymore, no. They used to be quite uncommon.

Well, that is largely caused by cars.

I’d like to reengineer the mosquito to draw blood samples, identify viruses, then create and spread vaccinations.

Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?
- Comment on Patch this Bish! 3 months ago:
I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!

- Comment on It's a good group! 3 months ago:
It’s very likely that the Earth military lobbed it toward earth as a pretext for war. The big planet was light years away (across the galaxy? I forget) and there was propaganda extolling the orbital defenses of Earth right before the hit. They had an orbital ring station around the Moon! No way they could miss a rock that big.
