  They’re provably easy to brainwash. May as well leave your mark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wise words⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If you ain’t jerkin’ yer meat in the shitter you’re a coward and a bootlicker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Shitposting and meme-making aren’t exactly heavy lifting, but they’re not nothing. You can also run psyops posing as a conservative who’s had it. I’d hardly call it unethical since the opposition is paying people to do the same. Donations do a lot if you have the money. Convincing people to donate is almost as good. The movement can always use art. Posters, songs, whatever you can do.

  As for optimism, red team has pretty much totally lost the plot. Abolishing ICE is polling higher than the president. He’s dipping into the zone where election fraud won’t be believable. ICE agents are miserable and frequently foiled. I think the long-term consequence of this is going to be a new labor movement.

  I have the opposite. Suffering from failure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just close them. All open tabs go away when I turn the computer off for the night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna make it my year. Fate’s consent is not necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delicious rocks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The other first-column chloride salts are mostly edible at some level. Potassium chloride is used in some low-sodium foods, I think. I saw a couple Aussies on YouTube once going down the column and putting them all on fries. Not sure if I’d be able to find it again though, it was pretty old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I started this year, and I think you can refer to years as far back as '22 without it feeling awkward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This bedroom game is weird⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Put peanut butter on your balls

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, giving ourselves endless lifespans is a fine endeavor. We’ve got plenty of ways to adapt to changing environments without changing our bodies, and we’re pretty close to being able to do that without dying and evolving anyway. Shit might get weird, but it always does with us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to drop in and call out “death is a design flaw” specifically. It is not. Without death, there can be no evolution, and any change to the environment is extinction.

  The mountains seem eternal, but there were forests before many of them, and though the trees will be different in the distant eons when the mountains are worn to nothing, the forests will live on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys, I fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, it’s because we shot that gorilla.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The real reason I’m better than the console plebs is that I still play multiplayer on twenty-year-old games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Impeach, remove, convict. Once that’s done, we can work on reversing the decades of economic squeezing we’ve allowed due to apathy or ignorance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This really can’t happen, but most of the consequences would probably be volcanic at that size. The sudden pressure from a lump thicker than the Earth’s crust would cause earthquakes and probably set off volcanoes.

  Lots of people would die from the chaos and likely ensuing volcanic winter, but we’d mostly get by. If there’s anything valuable in it like a mountain of platinum, conflicts over its resources could be more deadly than the impact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Didn't laugh till I caught the double meaning⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is, it’s not even funny anyway. Just a super basic version of the most tired stereotype in the public conscious. Ha ha Jew stingy. Okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet dreams are made of these?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, what the fuck is this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d stay about the same, unless the gas you emit was substantially lighter or heavier than air. Methane should be lighter than air off the top of my head, but it’s not the only gas in the mix, so it’s hard to say without in-depth knowledge of the composition of farts, the subject’s diet, and ambient air temperature too, since the fart is gonna be at body temp but the atmosphere won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It helps a lot that the assholes are not doing well. The Epstein thing has made it easier to breathe.

  Going to protests helps too. The energy of the crowd really feels good and assures me that the people are on my side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows keeps getting shittier, Linux keeps getting better and easier to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religion choices⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Susan, please

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell yeah bröther⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Affordable housing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell yeah bröther⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I need this. Half-assed laser eyes and horns shopped on. This would be the stupid shirt that finally completes me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell yeah bröther⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We should call his meme page Zohran the Destroyer’s Bazaar of Affordable Memes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, both sexes and also the intermediate types span the whole spectrum in real life. I think my wife is more direct and uncomplicated than I am tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the key things people need to know about islam?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s the same answer as for any religion: The holy book is long enough that you can cherry-pick and reinterpret any desired ideology from it, so you really need to look at a specific sect or an individual believer for a question like that has meaningful and consistently applicable answers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Factually correct number tier list. I will not be taking questions⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Twelve is the best number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not aware of actual death occurring from sleep deprivation, just serious cognitive issues. That guy would die first though if it can be fatal, because the coke it would take to do so would add a lot of strain to his systems that she wouldn’t be enduring. That fanfic sounds both evil and really stupid.
