- Comment on Aged like milk 1 week ago:
This only aged like milk if he was a hypocrite. Otherwise it was a sacrifice that he was willing to make and he led by example.
Someone wrote that he was wearing armor and had 8 body guards which suggests that he knew about the threat. So unlike others, he was willing to take the risk.
- Comment on Too soon? 1 week ago:
His death doesn’t proof him wrong. Drones and robots will, when the rights are taken and the weapons are not enough to defend them.

- Comment on PSA 2 weeks ago:
Worse, he sued and was rewarded some form of compensation because some judge agreed that it is not obvious that pool noodles shouldn’t stuck up an ass.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 2 weeks ago:
It could be the aging population. If 100% of people 20-40 have sex and 0% of 40-60 then that’s 50% if both groups are equally strong.
Now if it’s 1/3 and 2/3 then it’s only 33%.

Not the other way round?
I would say the top panel can accept own insignificance while bottom panel creates a vision of grandiosity to protect the main character illusion.

- Comment on Are you not entertained? 3 weeks ago:
The problem is that the money comes with power. They already get something just by owning it.
If a billionaire asks you to be their partner for life and to love them, as the one thing that money can’t buy, would you?
I think if people create a community that billionaires want to join in exchange for their money, wouldn’t that community already be so thriving that they don’t need the money? *
And if the community needs the money, what could offload the guilt that comes with the money? The community would become the billionaire.
* strange that people don’t try to do that, even without money.

Why? If you say that we should live like that don’t you want it for yourself?
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 3 weeks ago:
This can be done right now. The problem is finding the people who want to live like that. So who wants to live like that? Please reply.

Teach people to drive on the right lane unless they want to overtake somebody. Whoever overtakes you on the left won’t drive into the gap because they also want to overtake whoever is driving in front of you.

unfounded assumption of ignorance in the other party
That’s the joke. Haha, stupid astronaut, you are supposed to know.
It’s obviously too early to make that joke with an astronautess.

Even if, why shouldn’t something doubtful be pointed out?
But in this discussion it’s relevant. That White Jesus, do we believe that it is facts? Power is using fiction to create a following first. Then those followers prevent an opposition from forming.
Now why are stories about sex opposed? There seem to be many reasons but one could be to encourage people to have sex. So the opposition tries to make people experience reality while Conservatives try to keep them in their fictional world.
In other words, fiction is not only an enemy but also a friend of power.

What came first, kings or the stories about kings?
I think kings came first, and the storiy supported their power.

Why would someone trap you in such an unfathomably expensive setup?
For people who make a dollar a day, a regular Western year costs more than the resources of their entire life.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 4 weeks ago:
Just shows how deeply ingrained power relations are in society with an unproportional low complementing awareness and reflection about it.
- Comment on The two types of people 4 weeks ago:
There are more than two types. There is the silent majority. What would they do?
- Comment on I could use some serious advice as to whether or not to do this 5 weeks ago:
I totally agry, but do it anyway. The thought of having missed out on a great joke is so much more haunting than all the disgusted faces you risk seeing at any further event. FR FR
