“It is true that that’s almost never necessary.”

I can’t wrap my head around this, logically it’s still a ‘double that’ but the short form makes it palatable to read/say.

Some people like to see the things they spend time on finished.

No, I’m not the one struggling to remember what I’ve said. That’s you lil’ guy, in case you were confused - I’d imagine you are.

Ah, I see - the moment the words leave your flappy flesh bits you forget them. I get it, it’s hard being a goldfish. I’ll give you a pass this time.

What was that? Canadian throwing stones in glass houses? Couldn’t be!

No, it’s because you’re chronically online.

Coffee infused hot dog. Yeah, I’ve thought about it and that’s fucking awful.

Your thoughts are dirty and you should feel ashamed you disgusting sinner!

Or something, idk they might as well be religious

I imagine men will start behaving differently right around the time your head becomes unlodged from your ass.

Showing yourself in public ≠ posting pictures of yourself online. I understand that, for the terminally online, these things are interchangeable. I am sorry to inform you of this, though it’s probably valuable that you learn it now, but they are not.

This isn’t victim blaming. This is cause and effect.

How fucking dare that creepy disgusting old man look at pictures of young, beautiful women on a platform where they’re posting pictures of themselves! This isn’t what the internet is meant for, how dare he!

Hmm

No I think it’s pretty clear that capitalism will point guns at them, and we will either win and exploit their resources for ourselves or die.

I think their point is that if the people making the games were given fair compensation that they would be more willing to sacrifice IP rights.

I don’t see what makes them think that other than their own personal feelings on the matter, but I think that’s the message.

People don’t like the things they believe to be challenged, and many people fail to recognize what is a belief and what is a fact.

It’s the problem with knowing enough to not know how little you actually do (know).

You mean to say it’s stigmatized as a bad thing, and I’d accept that.

There’s an apple called Cosmic Crisp that has to be the worst thing I’ve seen come from the Honeycrisp variant of apple. Genuinely just awful taste and texture, like it’s got sand in it.

That being said, these are only a problem at supermarkets. Farmers markets are hard carries and don’t typically have the ‘grown for shelf life’ produce you see at your typical Walmart.

You can certainly make an argument for young kids, i.e. teaching fractions and literally how to count (counting seconds).

Teenagers? No, not really. They’ll all have phones or something to tell the time by a certain age and hopefully they know their fractions / how to count. It might as well just be digital at that point.

Idk, I don’t think they’re that blurry if we compare them to similar “conundrums” in other unethical circumstances.

Like, would you think the same of someone owning child porn? They don’t distribute it, they don’t film the children themselves, they just own the recordings. The law says they’re a criminal, but it seems like a similar ethical conundrum - no? (To be clear, I think eating meat sourced from someone who did not consent is wrong. I hope that says enough about how I feel about CP.)

How about owning the schematics for a ghost gun? You haven’t printed it, you haven’t distributed the schematic - you just own the schematic (and, for the purpose of the example, a 3d printer capable of printing the parts needed).

Seems like the answer is “it’s unethical”. Gonna need a third party to weigh in.

Unethical??

I feel very badly for your poor colon.

A strawman that may actually be true, given how much poison the rich have dumped into our environment.
