Dude was a good actor. He also played a very convincing murderous neo nazi leader in some probably low budget movie I once came across randomly. Don’t even remember what it was called.

And an ignition source! Need all four to burn. Fuel, oxidizer, heat, and ignition.

Tankie ideology treats China/USSR/North Korea the way that MAGA ideology treats trump.
- Comment on Does the net positive of Eugenics out weigh the negative? How so? 2 weeks ago:
…because that’s how having kids works, regardless of genetic editing. Do you think fetuses get a character creation screen or something? Lol.
- Comment on Does the net positive of Eugenics out weigh the negative? How so? 2 weeks ago:
I think it depends on how it is carried out.
If I was to have kids, I’d want them to have the best shot at life, and if that includes genetic editing, then I’m making some GMO kids.
If you want to have kids, I should have no say in those kids.
The problem is that eugenics folks are generally more concerned with other people’s kids. As with 95% of the problems in the world, if people would mind their own business and let others live as they do, there would be no problem.
Note that the main character in Gattaca is also a piece of shit who (a) knew he was on borrowed time and (b) was the only pilot on a multi year interplanetary mission. His need for personal success quite possibly doomed five others.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Doctors can prescribe a whole host of "downers" like xanax, methadone, the whole benzo family. Is there any uppers they can prescribe? 2 weeks ago:
And now you’re just wrong.
They work the exact same way, the affect the exact same receptors in the exact same way. One just affects them for longer than the other. This is not like comparing DXM and ketamine.

Correct. Much like there is a difference between driving 70 and 85.
Some people, going 70 just doesn’t cut it.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Doctors can prescribe a whole host of "downers" like xanax, methadone, the whole benzo family. Is there any uppers they can prescribe? 2 weeks ago:
Dxm and ketamine have similar effects on similar neurotransmitters, but not identical. Amphetamine and methamphetamine have identical effects on the same receptors, one just stick around longer.
Analogy: dxm is taking a bus down the street, ketamine is taking truck down the street. Amphetamine is driving your car going 70, meth is driving your car going 85.

Having taken both and having worked a stint in pharmaceutical R+D, I can tell you they’re pretty much the same thing. One’s a bit stronger than the other.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Doctors can prescribe a whole host of "downers" like xanax, methadone, the whole benzo family. Is there any uppers they can prescribe? 2 weeks ago:
In this case they have the same effects, one is just stronger.
- Comment on Tax billionaires, insure millions: The CA wealth tradeoff 2 weeks ago:
Billionaire like living in nice places. Rich people that threaten to leave almost never actually follow through on those threats, because even the nicest compound in Mississippi is still in Mississippi.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 2 weeks ago:
That seems…obvious?
Why would the effects of reduced population happen before the population is reduced?
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 2 weeks ago:
Yep. There’s a big bowl of shit, and some day it must be eaten. The choice becomes: do you eat the shit, or do you add a little squirt and pass it to your kids?

- Comment on Why is Nadal Hassan's execution being livestreamed? What makes him so special? Why not other people's execution's live streamed? What Jared Loughner? Or Bryan Kohbeger? 3 weeks ago:
I think that’s why the Nuremberg trials ended with hangings. But I might be wrong, and I’m having trouble finding references because the first however many pages of every search are all talking about this dude.
- Comment on Why is Nadal Hassan's execution being livestreamed? What makes him so special? Why not other people's execution's live streamed? What Jared Loughner? Or Bryan Kohbeger? 3 weeks ago:
Ya know what’s funny? Deserters, traitors, and war criminals are specifically hanged because dying by gunfire is an honorable death for a soldier.

Nah, three skipped meals before you rat out your neighbor for a piece of the leftovers scraped off the plate of the rich.
You want a revolution that doesn’t become warlords, you need education and organization.
- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 3 weeks ago:
Nah, it’ll be independently wealthy trust fund kids that don’t need to rely on a paycheck to pay rent.
Politicians should be some of the highest paid people in the country. I wouldn’t get out of bed for 70k today, that was my paycheck for my first professional job. Now perhaps you don’t want me as a politician, but…

You voted for genocide because you love to kill Palestinians and trans and that’s the only thing that makes you happy.
That’s what you sounded like two comment ago, lol.

Okay. So before you said Democrats care about nothing but genocide, and your evidence is that they maintained previously established diplomatic ties.
There’s a lot of things that Democrats could do better, but you’ve somehow managed to come up with the most brain-dead take I’ve seen.

Democrats did not compromise on their unconditional support for genocide.
Yeah you’re gonna have to come up with even a little bit of evidence that Democrats wanted to do a genocide because this here is some seriously dumb shit.

Infrastructure act. Nobody has fought for genocide, dude. Again, what the fuck are you smoking?
