There was a comic on here a while back that had a hungry guy walk up to the grocer and ask for a job. The grocer said no. Then he asked for food and the grocer said no. So he took the food.
If you can’t get what you need to survive using the social system (unfortunately it’s currently poorly regulated crony capitalism), and you can’t get what you need through charity, then you TAKE what you need to survive.
Any system that lets you die when you were willing to work is a failed system.

“you are more valuable when going to the toilet” is the most mysterious thing I’ve read all week.
Why? To whom? What specifically about the toilet? Does my value also increase at urinals? What about if I shit in the woods?
So many questions.

This sounds like one of those things where for 299.99 you too can discover this one skill. Then you sell a 2 week bootcamp where you teach people that skill and it turns out the skill is just applying to lots of jobs.

- Comment on Anon tries dating apps 4 days ago:
What I said has nothing to do with chads and Stacey’s. It’s an outcome of an almost 4:1 gender ratios on dating apps. The outcomes are the same in anything that’s badly matched. 4:1 jobs to employees means employees will jump ship at the slightest hiccup seeking greener pastures with very little getting done. The opposite ratio is of course worse with employees being abused in every way like in every recession.
Any time the ideal ratio is 1:1 and you throw it off that hard you’re going to have dysfunctional human behaviour because we’re not designed to have so many options. We evolved in deep scarcity and a key aspect of our survival was optimizing our choices. When we have no choices, or too many choices we are dysfunctional. Fuck even too many brands of shampoo is stressful to choose from.
I’m not judging anyone or stereotyping anyone here. The same would happen with reversed genders. It’s just dysfunctional human behaviour because of shitty algorithms.
- Comment on Anon tries dating apps 5 days ago:
No, the problem with dating apps for women is that there are tons of “regular” guys looking for a relationship, but because of the gender ratios there are also quite a few “top 5%” guys relative to the number of women. Guys that are very attractive and have great charisma, the kind you’d see on the bachelorette or similar shows.
What ends up happening is that most women will match with these guys (the same way men will swipe right on every supermodel looking woman just in case). So you have relatively few guys dating pretty much all the women they can, because our society says that sleeping with a lot of women if you can is a great way to show you have value. And for these men there are plenty of fish in the sea and no reason to settle down so they get labeled “fuckboys”. Fundamentally these men would normally be completely inaccessible to most women, but the gender ratios on dating apps create this situation where average men don’t get any matches and average women are only dating fuckboys who don’t want a relationship. Then they leave the app and quit dating for a bit out of frustration.
In a normal setting average men and women pair up over shared interests and goals, and fuckboys date supermodels (over their shared focus on aesthetic beauty and charisma I suppose).
Obviously this is an overgeneralisation. But it’s not exactly a gendered issue since if you flip the genders you’d other still get the same dynamic. The problem on these apps is the gender ratios. You can’t have health matchmaking when there are 10 men for every woman (or vice versa).

That’s stupid. We have foster systems, adoption, orphanages, children have even survived living in the wild or with wolves. There are many non parent ways for born children to survive.
God what a stupid, el obviously false statement. If you spent half the time thinking about it as you did typing it you would have deleted it in shame.

It’s on Twitter. The fact you don’t want to see it on Twitter doesn’t create a requirement for me to provide it for you elsewhere. You’re the one claiming this whole thing is a fake news media hoax smear campaign destined to make Tesla look bad (as if we need a hoax smear campaign to do that when they’re constantly killing, burning, and downing their occupants).
- Comment on How many people have driven right into that wall 2 weeks ago:
Good job responding to my arguments. I guess you were too busy gargling muskrat ballsack to put together a thought more complex than “I’m not a musky fanboy, you’re the Rober and fake news media fanboy”
- Comment on How many people have driven right into that wall 2 weeks ago:
And you Musk fanboys are the only ones to have cracked the case that got by everyone else and every reporting journalist. Mark Rober and the Fake News Media trying to attack your best boy genius and self made trillionaire musky boy. Wow! A real Inspecteur Clouseau the lot of you!

- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 2 weeks ago:
I like the meta layer of it. For the girl in the show they’re identical concepts because she IS a drawn child.
Otherwise all your points are valid though they leave a bad taste in my mouth. In Canada drawn CP is basically treated the same as actual CP by the courts which feels a bit extreme.
For the purposes of child pornography laws, a “person” includes both actual and imaginary human beings including drawings from the imagination, cartoons, or computer-generated composites
The definition of child pornography includes any person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years.
It also has minimum sentences of 1 year for a “felony count” and 6 months otherwise
(4) Every person who possesses any child sexual abuse and exploitation material is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of one year; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years less a day and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of six months.
I’ve never really considered how arbitrary this law feels until you put together that message. Record live actual CSAM is the same as downloading a sketchy anime apparently.
- Comment on Is it reasonable to tell a person you once loved about the fact years later? 2 weeks ago:
“I used to have a big crush on you” totally legit, playful, good way to see if she was ever into you.
“I used to love you” that’s weird. If you’re still friends don’t you still love her at least platonicly? The explanations you’ve been giving in this thread can only make the situation more strange and more awkward. Love means a lot of things to a lot of people so it’s a weird word to use in the past tense about a friend you used to also be attracted to.
- Comment on I dont know why this is the meme choice but here is a picture of a moth choice it over its woman🤷♀️🤷♀️ 2 weeks ago:
I know this was just a shitpost… But it’s got a philosophical dimension. With the mothman, it’s very clear that he has lamp needs that aren’t satisfied by his human partner. Here we are not offended by his lamp desires, we’re surprised that his human partner is shocked by his behaviour when it’s otherwise fairly intuitive and predictable.
Yet when we restore the original, we are unable to empathise with a human who may have important unmet needs. And we can rightfully say of his partner that they should expect him to be loyal. But these monogamous expectations are cultural and they clearly aren’t flexible enough to encompass all of the wonderful tapestry of platonic, romantic, and intimate relationships and expressions. Therefore we continue to be beholden to cultural expectations that create unmet needs and expectations which may be incompatible with a sustainable relationship with many individuals.

I like the implication that women with big breasts are more willing to date gymbros because they still have bigger breasts than the pec, and that women with small breasts are relegated to dating only scrawny guys. Hilarious mental picture.

- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 month ago:
All the answers are bullshit. The real explanation is that leaders set salaries. Of course they’re going to value themselves over others. Then they’re going to rationalise it with the bullshit you see in this thread about “force multipliers” etc… it’s basic capitalism. It’s the same reason politicians in the us have free healthcare and great vacation and benefits and salaries rising above inflation, the people who control these things always make sure they get what’s fair then make excuses for why no one else does.

Those are likely PET bottles which are highly recyclable. There are a few plastics that are recyclable in large enough pieces. It’s just that so much of our packaging and products are just mixed or thin plastics with a lot of printing which are not in any way recyclable.
Now when I say recyclable I mean plausibly do-able at scale, with a decent quality output material suitable as feedstock for manufacturing, not profitably recyclable. I don’t think any plastic recycling is profitable.

Race play is the same as cnc… There is something that causes you anxiety or pain or trauma in real life, then you release that anxiety through sexualization of your fear because it now becomes something you control.
- Comment on Sorry, honey 1 month ago:
Yeah cnc isn’t about non consent… It’s about CONSENTING TO PRETENDING TO RAPE… Having sex with someone who is asleep who consented to that scenario isn’t cnc… It’s just consensual sex… Not even very kinky sex at that.

If you take something anti-Semites would say and you take it to a point of absurdity that’s MAKING FUN OF ANTI-SEMITES not being one. Jeez you Zionists sure are sensitive bunch for a group of people who support war crimes, killing babies, and raping prisoners.

You understand that saying “Jews control Israel” isn’t antisemitic right… Bibi himself constantly repeats that Israel is a Jewish state, the Jewish homeland etc…
It’s in no way implying the Jews control any other part of the world.

Anecdotes aren’t data points either. For data points to become useful data they have to be standardised across parameters to create valid correlations. Anecdotes are not that.

This chart is good for hookups. In long term relationships you can negotiate things like asleep and inebriated while sober or through long term safe sane and consensual escalation. Then you get to enjoy things that are hard to enjoy ethically with a stranger. Hell in most kinky contexts most of these are yes and are replaced with a safeword for “no” but you need more trust for that than you can muster with most strangers.
