There are a lot of cute people out there walking around with their feet visible, and if you stare at their feet while talking to them, they’ll just think you’re shy.

The guy selling your the property is much less likely to rip you apart with his powerful fangs than the wolf would be in the analogous situation.

I saw a guy yell at the gate employee. The guy’s flight had arrived late and the employee was telling him that the door to his connecting flight was already closed so she could not let him board even though the plane hadn’t left yet. Eventually a manager showed up and got yelled at too and he opened the door and let the guy on the plane. So it can work.

Obviously the average American isn’t directly participating in making the major decisions, but what the average American wants still generally has far more influence on the future of the world than what the average citizen of any other country wants.
- Comment on Comfy cozy 1 week ago:
Well, I have the option of leaving. It’s not purely hypothetical for me because I’m not originally from the USA - I was just a kid when I came here, so it wasn’t my decision but it was a decision and I can see myself making a similar decision to go somewhere else. Maybe I will need to leave if things in the USA get a lot worse but for now living in a blue state still seems like a better option.
- Comment on Comfy cozy 1 week ago:
Eh, at least the USA has agency - we get to choose which stupid direction to take half the world in, while most other countries are just along for the ride.

- Comment on When We Are No Longer Needed: Emerging Elites, Tech Trillionaires and the Decline of Democracy 3 weeks ago:
There is a very good reason for the super rich to support the rule of law: it protects their own wealth and power. Even if they may want to be aristocrats in a highly stratified society like, for example, 19th century Britain rather than a modern democratic welfare state, they don’t stand to benefit from the transition to a modern autocracy. 19th century Britain was very much a nation of laws where the government would protect the rights and property of the super rich whereas modern autocrats quickly co-opt them into personal lenders whose well-being is entirely at the mercy of the autocrat.
Thus, while some super rich individuals may support populist autocracy either due to idiosyncratic personal beliefs or short-term political expediency, transitioning to it is not in the best interest of the super rich as a class. Rule of law isn’t the same thing as democracy but I don’t see a global movement towards rule of law without democracy - the two are in the present day apparently inextricable.

I don’t think they stomped loudly (except maybe when they ran) but I don’t see how they would be able to move through the undergrowth without snapping a lot of branches. (Or how they could move through dense forest at all.)

I have a hard time imagining a stealthy t-rex. He’s going to be making some noise even if he tiptoes.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, as far as I’m concerned most AAA games might as well be part of a totally separate hobby that I don’t pay much attention to. The way I see it (and this is an oversimplification) games used to be made by nerds for nerds. Then normies started making games for normies, but there are also more nerds than ever making games for nerds.

I didn’t realize that I have a weird laugh until someone found me by listening for it. Apparently normal people don’t laugh by inhaling rather than exhaling.

Well, on the plus side OP will have a lot less trouble living out his wildest dream than he would have if he had normie dreams.

The Uyghurs in Guantanamo didn’t want to go back to China.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 5 weeks ago:
Do you remember how prisoners were kept in Guantanamo Bay, even after they were no longer suspected of any wrongdoing, simply because there wasn’t a country that would both accept them and treat them in accordance with US law? Many of those prisoners ended up nowhere near where they came from.
Some countries refuse to accept deportees. Some countries are so likely to mistreat deportees that sending them to those countries is illegal. Some countries simply don’t exist anymore.
- Comment on Anon finally finds a girlfriend 1 month ago:
I was talking to a friend of mine about whether or not we would get along with exact copies of ourselves. He didn’t think that he would want to spend much time with his copy, but I thought I would love my own company in that sense. We would have the same values, the same goals in life, the same likes and dislikes, the same hobbies, the same sense of humor, etc. And all that is just with a same-sex copy of myself that I would have no attraction to. An opposite sex (but also heterosexual) copy would also have the same sex drive and the same weird fetishes.
Anyway, it’s still probably not worth fracturing one’s psyche for but with good arguments for each side. Reasonable people can disagree.

Reminds me of the time I was at work searching for a particular connector I need.
serial cable female female
serial female female coupler
serial female female coupling
And so forth. I didn’t find the part I needed and so I had to solder it myself.

Who does he think is monitoring these searches? Also, if someone is monitoring and actually cares about this for some reason, how will OP not get caught?
