Ehh I dunno… I’m as atheist as anyone with an IQ above 60, but I think religion is just a convenient scapegoat for mental illness here. I’m pretty sure someone who shoots strangers on the highway would have done it in a world without religion too, and they would say it’s a different mystical force that made them do it. I don’t think Christianity actually moved this person to do this.

It’s so close to reality that I’ll forgive it :P

Holy cow I just learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to explain this!

The internet has told me you don’t enjoy changing sponges then.

Politics has always been a game of the least offensive though. Every can candidate will have things they give you and things they take away. If your two choices are between “I will genocide” and “I will genocide even harder” it seems wild to me to help the second one win by abstaining from the first.

Oh and the second one doesn’t think women are people and thinks climate change is fake.

“I wanna” Trump

Ah yeah, that’s not as nice as I was picturing then. I still can’t help but side with the guy at least a bit though… it’s just something about the predatory nature of lotteries. In fact it’s almost more offensive that it’s run by a government haha.

Normally I’d agree with you on the basis of reason alone, but I think lottery companies can stand being gouged once in a while.

Both can be true though. I don’t support things like Uber and Lyft but only because of how horribly they treat their employees. I don’t have much sympathy for the taxi industry that never bothered to modernized over the last 50 years.

Goddamn… as a fellow celiac sufferer, I’m very sorry to hear that. If the blood tests are pretty conclusive, you can probably assume it’s celiac without the colonoscopy. The downside is that if you start a gluten-free diet now and decide to get a colonoscopy later, it might now show anything since you’re off the gluten. Best of luck!

Why are “the poors” buying expensive guns? If you’re buying a tool that can accidentally and instantly murder someone very easily, and you have no way to pay for that mistake, then gun ownership is too expensive for you.

Your case is for reasonable vs unreasonable expenses though. When someone can afford thousands for a gun and many other recurring expenses, a $50-100/month policy is completely reasonable. At the very least, it doesn’t separate gun ownership into different wealth classes.

Listen, I’m super smart and I definitely know what the right context is, but could you explain it for our dumber friends here?

Definitely aim for recreational, but it’s still important to expand its medical purposes so that it can be protected for those who need it. What I mean by protected is that its use would be allowed for patients in situations that recreational use would still be prohibited, that it can be claimed as a medical expense on taxes, or subsidized for low income people.

Edit: Sorry, not to imply that you’re against the medical part happening too!

Ben câlisse, comment ma apporter mon épicerie à maison sans un char d’assault?

Meat is pretty much the most expensive protein source. You can get tofu for like 1/5 the price of meat. The other guy summed it up well (although with some sarcasm) that eating vegan is only expensive when you try to replicate the meat. Just eat tofu and you’ll be healthier and richer :)

“Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them”… not to say they’re not still beautiful haha.
