- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 4 days ago:
the simulation thing implies we don’t have “free will” or that we don’t have control over our life (which we don’t anyway), and that scares people half to death. so, classic denial
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 4 days ago:
because when you have deeply entrenched religious indoctrination, ideas about the world, life, and reality that don’t mesh with your “god” are literally personal attacks on your very identity.
some people care about this shit more than they care about anything else. you should get rid of the assumption that things need to make sense to these people
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 4 days ago:
people used to get burnt at the stake for this shit. and dont’ forget how butthurt people got over the suggestion that –gasp– the earth isn’t the center of the universe
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 4 days ago:
people don’t like this idea because if that’s all we are, then who is anyone to say that the inevitable equivalent man-made lump of fat with electrical activity isn’t entitled to all the same rights and status that we are
also jeebus doesn’t want you to think you can’t go on getting punished even after you’re dead

LOL yea let’s laugh at literally every other 1st world country with universal healthcare while we pay thousands a year for insurance that doesn’t pay out
- Comment on Every time I search a windows error 6 days ago:
the funniest part of the story is the idea that anyone’s grandma in the 90s had a computer and printed recipes, instead of a handmade old growth hardwood box full of 100 year old recipes handwritten with a quill pen

- Comment on Sleep well tonight 2 weeks ago:
everyone’s got something they’ll spend extra money on just for its looks. increasingly though, people are realizing that the $150 plates aren’t doing any better of a job holding their dinner than the $20 walmart plates
not only that, but the idea that you need a different plate for bread, a plate for entree, a plate for salad, a plate for pasta–it’s asinine. gotta be one of the bigger scams of the industrial age. same thing with utensils: you’ve got your dinner fork, dessert fork, fish fork, salad fork, fruit fork, and on and on. um excuse me, fuck all that noise, give me 1 plate and 1 fork, and call me an uncultured philistine if it makes everyone feel better, but i’m not buying all that crap
- Comment on Sleep well tonight 2 weeks ago:
back in the day bored housewives used to love to throw dinner parties just to show off their fancy serveware, pretending that they’re downton abbey or something. i’ve experienced it, since it’s the same shit at every holiday get together. it’s almost surreal, sitting in the midst of a perpetual conversation about dinner plates, very similar to dudes at a superbowl party, except the plates are the superbowls
- Comment on Sleep well tonight 2 weeks ago:
you can’t reason with them. no matter how much you try to tell my mom it’s not the 90s anymore, she absolutely refuses to accept any reality other than her 10 giant plastic bins stuffed with beanie babies is a priceless collection

ok. you and your friends give a rat’s ass about it.

the only old stuff that’s actually worth a high price is quality furniture: storage chests, tables, cabinets, shelves, etc-- made from old growth wood and built like a tank. that stuff will last generations and will probably still be cheaper than a modern piece of comparable quality (aka custom made by an artisan)
- Comment on Sleep well tonight 2 weeks ago:
no one under 50 gives a rat’s ass about great grandma’s “look at me i’m victorian high society” china cabinet. when i managed an antique store we had more old people coming in trying to sell their shit than we had anyone coming in to buy. went out of business because antiques are dead for the next who knows how many generations

lol why would they care about people spending money voluntarily when they can just take the money? civil forfeiture has already been a problem–do you think that’s going to get better? lol

religion is a big part of it. how many millions of people only vote for the candidate who promises to criminalize abortion without knowing (or caring about) a single other goddamn thing about the person
- Comment on Low-wage workers in the food service industry can’t afford to eat 4 weeks ago:
they want people to riot over food, so they can justify murdering whole communities with their militarized police
