- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 1 hour ago:
You’re right obviously, but it’s frankly wild to see that take from an .ml username
- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 6 hours ago:
Because people have very diverse political beliefs and don’t fit neatly into two groups, but the mechanisms of our elections lead to two parties. As a result, they select one of the two parties, even if it doesn’t perfectly align with their beliefs.

Lots of cats have little to no portion control and will eat themselves sick. Even if you’re not going to eat it anymore, you should at least take it away and give it back in small portions.

I think I hypothetically could, but I’ve got real thick fingers so I usually make a bunch of sloppy typos.
Redragon briefly made an upscaled keyboard, and I didn’t pull the trigger when I had the chance because I like having a num pad, and now they’ve stopped making it. Haven’t found anyone else that makes one, so I guess I’ll never really know if I can touch type.

- Comment on How bad were the asylums that Reagan closed in his tenure? Were they really that bad? Did no one take a look at the staff and bed side manner? Or was it really like Born On The Fourth of July? 1 day ago:
There’s a lot of reasons not to like Regan, but he did get some things right. That was one of them.
Was it though? Not that I’m saying you’re wrong about the conditions in asylums, but is abandoning the patients to be homeless on the streets really better? It feels like the right thing would have been comprehensive reform with extensive oversight.

I’ve made over 7000, some with hundreds of votes, and I didn’t make the list. This is bullshit
- Comment on 3 days ago:
We had standard box fans growing up. The mesh is flexible enough to permit small fingers, and the plastic blades aren’t much solace to the crying toddler.
All of which ignores the other, more prevalent motivation of aesthetics.

My experience differs.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
I take it you’ve never seen a toddler stick their fingers through the mesh

Ever seen Gianmarco Soresi’s bit about R Kelly?
- Comment on Elon is so smat 4 days ago:
As Gianmarco Soresi said, “I think the reason we don’t make those distinctions is because it’s very hard to explain the difference without sounding like a pedophile.”
- Comment on 5 days ago:
To play devil’s advocate, there are no exposed blades at the point of use. I’d wager people who buy “bladeless” fans are more concerned with aesthetics and avoiding a crying toddler than they are with semantic accuracy. We call Wi-Fi “wireless” even though the router is plugged in.

Because they’re 500 year old dragons, or because they look like children?
- Comment on he did live in a pineapple… 5 days ago:
Neither are the 500 year old dragons that look like human children. And yet

Yet you knew that “freeuse” can refer to a kink. A vanilla person would have assumed they were talking about copyright.

Proper communism is functionally impossible at the present day. It is possible that after generations of widespread automation and gradual socialism, people on average may come to be able to exist communistically.
You are correct though that historical examples have typically just been slapping an ideological label on a system that was neither socialist nor communist in practice. I mean, communism doesn’t even make semantic sense below the global level.

Even slim margins add up, and basic commodity retail is borderline rent-seeking. Stocking soap because people buy soap isn’t really adding any value.
Stocking fancy soaps, scented soaps, extra delicate soaps, soaps with fun designs, etc. adds some value either through the production of differentiated products or through deliberately curating a selection of differentiated products. But just selling regular soap isn’t really a problem suited for the greater market.

Same for very short, petite women. I’ve had my fair share (for fun acrobatic reasons, not weird pedo reasons) and I’ve heard some stories.

A public-option retail store sounds awesome actually. Imagine all the basic necessities produced and sold at cost: staple foods, simple clothes, basic housewares, etc.
- Comment on Spherical Bastard 1 week ago:
Not really? The joke about the spherical cow is about reducing a problem to a hyper-simplified version to make computation easier at the cost of accuracy.
The spherical bastard is more a joke about mathematical projections, since a sphere looks the same from any angle.

Like it wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out bread was accidentally invented when someone screwed up an attempt to make beer.
Hell, some people have theorized that civilization started because you need to settle down for a while to brew beer.

Unironically depends on how you define “state”.
- Comment on Interesting 1 week ago:
My thoughts exactly
- Comment on Interesting 1 week ago:
Nah, that’s nonsense word salad. Either large scale communism is impossible and thus has never been implemented, in which case the “classic line” is 100% true, or it is possible in which your claim that it’s impossible is wrong.
Either way you seem to have a pretty weak grasp of history and logic, so good luck out there 👍

Reminds me of this sign in the bathroom at a local bar:
Some of our earliest records are beer recipes. Not only is 1862 thousands of years too late, there wasn’t even anything of note that year. Totally arbitrary ass-pull.
