Don’t confuse joaquin phoenix and jared leto. The 2019 Joker movie has nothing to do with jared leto.

Even if you distilled the purpose of living things down to their most basic mathmatical objective, you would still be wrong. At it’s very core the so called raison d’être of living things is to assist in the long term survival of their species. Even for something like a virus which doesn’t even really meat all the basic criteria to be called “living”, overwhelming and killing the host before the virus has a chance to spread is in every way a failure.
Even better is that this argument, the “most fundamental purpose”, when applied to humanity actually means that the “aberrations” that fundamentalists hate most are actually an integral part of the system. LGBTQ+ and the neurodiverse (ADHD, autism, ect) all benefit the growth of the species. Having members that contribute to the strength of the species, who can fight, gather, and assist with the offspring of others without creating their own competitive offspring is a massive advantage when resources are limited. The fact that those same noncompetitive (offspring wise) members can breed if something disastrous happens to the rest of the breeding stock is such a brilliant design that it makes a lot more sense to use that as an argument for “intelligent design” rather than the other shit that is usually dragged out. As for the neurodivergent, having members that think differently and are driven to try things that would be considered outside of normal range is really the only option for growth once the “normal” resources reach capacity.
So, if your argument at this point is that humanity should have all transitioned to be LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent, then maybe you aren’t doing it completely wrong, but I am still not sure that is really the answer either.

Unfortunately, it’s not just Kursgesagt Hentai.
It only Kursgesagt and Rick and Morty Hentai.
~Actually, curiosity got the better of me and after taking a brief look, there is Kursgesagt Hentai. I just really don’t want to interact with it anymore than I already have.~
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 month ago:
I once had it explained to me in a way that finally clicked:
What if beings from the 42nd dimension wanted to observe life on our planet? The problem is that they’re from the 42nd dimension, so they can’t just sit and “watch” us in our basic four-dimensional world. However, what they can do is stir up electrons in our atmosphere until they start a lightning storm. Then they can “observe” the lightning. It turns out that they can learn a lot from the lightning itself, but at the same time it may have some effect on life here on Earth.

Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.

I like to act like they just reminded me that she asked me to talk to them about it and then start talking about some really bizarre fetish stuff that she can’t deal with anymore.
One of my favorite ones actually got gagging noises from other people in the room. "Look, she asked me to talk to you about the diaper thing. Hold on. Don’t get too upset - Comment on Edible Wood 2 months ago:

I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it’s easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.
Dude your CNC sessions are totally out of hand if you are having to buying aluminum in bulk. Just get yourself some shibari ropes and a blind fold if you want to take your time and make it an extended session.

Ya, we used to have more of the little fat slow white ones (orb weavers I think) around when I was a kid, and other than cobwebs all over the place, they never gave us trouble. I generally try not to mess with them though, or I’ll do a catch and release. But between the Brown Recluse bite I got as a teenager that took almost an entire year to heal and the other non-poisionous bites I have gotten while asleep or watching tv that take 6 weeks to heal, it’s insta-death if any others are found inside my house.
I just realized that I am a spider racist. White and yellow get the gentle touch, but black and brown are going down. - Comment on mercy merci 3 months ago:
Not all spiders are buddies who will just keep to their website and kill pests. Many are aggressive roaming hunters that just go around biting shit to see if it is edible. And that includes you just sleep or sitting still.
Also, even the nonvenomous spiders have some seriously bad oral hygiene and carry bacteria that causes deep infectious wounds that take months to heal.
Even with all that, if they were just slow or stupid I might take the time to catch and release, but given that the majority are stupid fast, and/or actively trying to leap at me… they gotta die.
Having said that I don’t fuck with them outside, especially the banana spiders, because banana spiders are instantly easy to identify and aren’t interested in starting trouble. - Comment on If it works it works 3 months ago:

I completely agree if we’re talking about some bros at a kegger, but if it might instead possibly be the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services reporting to the President of the United States and the rest of his Cabinet during a Cabinet meeting, then no. In that case the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services should be able to communicate health related matters better than a drunken frat bro.

One of my first jobs had me working retail in the “lawn and garden” department. Every year we would have people buy those wildflower mixes and then 6 weeks later, you would see the same people buying weed killer. I had many people tell me that they couldn’t understand why their lawn was so overrun with weeds the last few years, and of course they were always the ones doing the wild flower mix.

From B to GGG! Holy shit! That’s fucking insane. I thought we were talking about some general swelling sort of on the order of what happens with pregnant women. And it happened within a 6 month period? I can’t even begin to comprehend what that must have been like. She would have had to have woken up every morning with a noticable increase in size. I’ll bet it started out as a “wow, this is a nice little perk” and very rapidly escalated to “WTF!”. I also really like that the all fixed picture is waaayy bigger than the original B size.
