If it kills you, its not “safe for human consumption” which is the defining characteristic between something edible and any random item you can stuff down your throat.
You can eat anything once. If it’s edible you can eat it more than once. Words having meanings. Yes, I am fun at parties.

There are people in prison for attempted murder that would beg to differ.
It’s not a freebie, preparation and follow through are critical to getting your one.

67 doesn’t require the horny brain that is needed for 69. It’s the same level of amusement but becuase there is no sexual connection it can be understood more widely and also cannot be shamed in silence.

Bet they wear shirts for bands where they can’t even name their 20 top songs.

There is precedence for punching them in the face. If its good enough for someone who was involved in the missions, it seems like a reasonable place to start.

I’m just going to believe this comment is sarcasm, because I’m tired of releazing some people are this benevolent.

Nah, need to go straight to 9, 3x3 matrix. It’s acceptable to pause at 6 if you are budget conscious.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 2 weeks ago:
My criticism here isn’t about any specific group or topic. It’s about this aggravating debate pattern where rhetoric is used to paint the opponent’s argument into a morally charged form rather than addressing the actual claim being made.
That style of engagement is not something that ever leads to meaningful discussions.
A similar dynamic occurs in other highly polarized subjects where participants are more focused on signaling moral positions than resolving the underlying question.
This sort of shit has been going on since at least the times of Artistole who championed logic over emotion.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 2 weeks ago:
Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.
It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.

They answered yes while creating a reason to be offended for having to answer yes.
Can’t make this shit up. Impotent rage is some people’s identity.

Is this meant to be an insult? Most kids are average.
Most parents who think their kids are measurable above average are the ones missing half the stupid shit their kid does.

Depends on how many older siblings they have.

That’s because you don’t understand infosec. It’s assure you, they are unimpressed despite their polite chuckle.

Based on the downvotes your getting. Quite a few of the people excited for this are definitely migrating to the left of the bell curve.
Lemmy is wierd, the user base has a very inflated view of their own intelligence. For example, some will get confused and think since I’m on Lemmy I must be also guilty of this; their reasoning skills are quite terrible.

- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 3 weeks ago:
Looks like no one here has run a cash business or has experience with the overhead that comes with dealing with cash. It’s not zero.
With credit cards, there is no need for cash drops, safes, drawer balancing, armor cars or employee theft. Banks actually charge businesses fees just for depositing cash.

Interesting. I have a story I’m developing where this is a plot point but it’s not just one person, it’s literally everyone. Instead of spacetime it takes place inside a machine simulation and then instead of it begins becuase of a god, it happens because everyone is immortal and bored.
But the idea is the same, for all anyone “alive” knows, they could be in the machine, except they can’t know because then they’d live wrong. Only in between lives, do they know.

All the responses in this thread is why and how is the neeed for them to always one up each other to achieve the first goal.
This stuff isn’t written to leave 4chan and no one is forcing anyone to keep this community unblock. The feigned victimhood is more questionable than the existence of the post.

I knew a kid who did this. Some random kid saw and reported it. His dad was the head janitor of the high school, he helped his dad, was on the payroll so actually was working for the school district himself part-time. He still almost got expelled, managed to only get a week of suspension.

I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
Except when that thing someone enjoys doing is some harmless ribbing.

We don’t just think it. It’s 100% true and you are annoyed by us because you know it is too!

The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.

If the media won’t generate the click bait lemmy’s demand, they’ll create it themselves.

This is not targeted at people who have been caught speeding once or twice. It’s targeting habitual and wreckless drivers. If they can afford the cost of these tickets to keep their license from being suspended, they can afford this device.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. I used to have a $20 shareware product back when kagi was a payment processor. Apple introduced $1 pricing as a dick waving contest and fucked the entire indy developer community.

This is a really basic business concept; business 101 stuff. They definitely didn’t make it up, they’re just using it.
It works against the general population, if this particular one doesn’t, don’t get too busy strutting, there is almost certainly something else that does work on you.
Buy shit because you need/want it, not because it’s a deal.
