• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I only one who thinks that tattoos are for wealthy or semi wealthy people? Why not use that money in a CD, Volunteering, or Donations? Kind of feels a little bit selfish?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, poor people don’t deserve art in their lives. How did we all get this so wrong???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To destabilize black communities and disrupt their growing social and economic power.

  It was explicit racism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever get the feeling of zooming out of your phone into your head and actually realizing everything, instead of just mindlessly watching videos?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had that, but I don’t watch video on my phone. Or anywhere else, most of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it controversial to point out the Nazis were mostly Catholics?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a fallacy called “begging the question”, a form of bad faith. The question itself assumes something false to be true, then asks a question based on that false assumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your son was a super wealthy multi-millionaire and lived in LA or New York, but he wasn’t famous and wasn’t close to your family members (brothers, nephews, nieces, etc.), would you tell them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lie by omission is when you only tell part of something and leave out a relevant piece of information that changes the context of the rest of it.

  No saying anything is not that.

  Don’t spread other people’s business around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  stop idling your engine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you give the fae a false name which others would identify you as, can they still use that false name to control you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In most stories, it’s the name their birth mother gave them, so no, not necessarily their given name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 71° F (21° C) the ideal weather to wear shorts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After opening a jar of pizza sauce, how long would you trust it was still good in the fridge?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Homemade or store-bought? The preservatives and extra sugar and salt give it an extra couple days.

  Are these the words you meant to type?

  It turns out sometimes people with depression are still hot!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people call Fiji and Voss Water “Rich People” Water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do left-leaning—or not even left-leaning, but pro-choice, pro-life people who don’t care about fornication—who are also Catholics and Christians justify their religion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted, I’m not really who you’re asking, but:

  Most of us got our religion before our politics, and seek to square our political positions with our ethical framework, not the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is school cafeteria food in America trash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It varies a lot by school. My highschool was okay, but I still preferred to pack a lunch from home. My kids’ elementary school found is awful and if I don’t pack lunches for them they just won’t eat.

  Depends on whether they’re a famous athlete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is giving only formula long term "healthy" for a baby?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Formula is a lot better than it was a few decades ago. While breast is best for a variety of reasons (immunity support and bonding foremost) if for any reason you can’t, formula is perfectly fine, even if it’s only formula, and there’s not going to be any long-term problems because of it.

  That was the only one I knew offhand, but yeah, his schtick was writing rhyming dialogue for existing stories.

  I wouldn’t say that to anybody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Butter knife and fingers in casual situations, fork in semi- and formal situations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because (public) education isn’t valued and we insist on the idiotic practice of funding schools primarily through local property taxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any reason we were taught in school that blood is blue in the body until it reaches oxygen and then it turns red other than our veins look blue?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t taught that in school.
