Would that mean acknowledging that my ignorance is less valuable than your wisdom?

Yes? Then yes, you are the only one — now stop being a pussy and take these shots, we have to deprogram the “empathy” out of you.

No, no — now repeat after me:

Men are bad.

Unless you’re a man at which point:

Women are bad.

I hope I helped.

Explain the transphobia to me, in detail.

I think it’s easy to associate adhering to values with being unkind (those values could easily exhibit kindness, depending on what they are).

I just don’t believe you’re unkind. If you were, your values wouldn’t tell you that we should shut down power to a neighborhood for a cat. You would just think something like ‘glad that’s not my problem’ and move on. I don’t think that people who are unkind are bothered by things like this, because again ‘not my problem’. You have made it your problem by caring, and are thus precluded from being unkind (in my opinion).

Honestly, that checks out — thank you for the info!

I’ve enjoyed a great deal of movies with Connery as the lead. I think he made the right choice not being Gandalf.

Rich and/or fame means that’s absolutely how it works.

That being said, OP(?) is right — his wife evolved some massive hodonnahonkeroos.

Edit: sorry not OP, what do you even call the commenter on the bottom in a post like this?

Is he fucking mewing?

God please grant me the strength not to say bad words.

It is easy to choose not to care about anything, it is very hard to care about everything. I myself am dealing with having learned to turn my heart off to certain things. Things that would just be too overwhelming to carry.

A friend of mine died recently and it was incredibly shocking. He was much younger than me, I guess he was driving too fast on his bike. One of my first thoughts was that I could have been kinder to him. Maybe if I’d reached out more, stayed more consistent in his life, maybe he would have stayed more tempered.

We can’t know what will happen to us nor the people around us. We can only dictate our words and actions. I, however, am much less kind than you — I hope that those who can’t be bothered to exhibit the slightest bit of empathy are cursed to suffer in the ways they’ve been overtly willing to ignore. I hope they experience what it is to decay and have the world fade around them.

It would be poetic. Aneurotypicality is not an excuse for callousness.

Edit: I’m wrong, and I learned something new!

Spices were associated with rotting food, because they were often used to cover up the flavor of overly game-y meat — at least that was common in the U.S. .

I don’t think you can blame people for eventually realizing that if a piece of meat has a suspicious amount of spice on it, it might just make you sick. You also can’t blame someone for being averse to the flavor afterwards — spice kicks twice, and if that second kick is also associated with one of the most violent shits you’ve ever taken… well you get the picture.

That being said, I do love spice. Not a terribly huge fan of the second kick, but such is life.

If that’s you trying to be nice you need to get some therapy. Great job proving you aren’t a child, by the way — with the ‘I’m rubber you’re glue’ argument. Very intelligent, your points are very valid. I’d give you a gold star but I’m fresh out, darn.

It is a sentiment that treats potential loss of life like rounding errors instead of tragedies (big and small).

Tolkien’s words live in my brain

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

So you genuinely don’t understand, ok got it.

See that just blows my mind, I would never describe nuts as bitter.

pointing out the obvious

By pointing to a set of pages that elaborate on what you mean?

No, let’s examine what you did instead:

1. you demean me by suggesting I’m simply brainwashed because I disagree with you, further by suggesting I’m uneducated.

2. you backpedal like a child into ‘IDGAF’, seriously I had flashbacks to high school debates.

3. you reiterate that you think I’m somehow brainwashed by the CIA into thinking communism is bad (which isn’t even remotely what I said)

4. you more or less call me a fascist

I was wrong to communicate with you at all, you are an idiot child.

Right.

While I’m doing that, how about you look up burden of proof buddy?

You’ll figure it out. Actually, on second thought, you likely should have already known about this. Which does beg the question ‘Why are you acting like you don’t?’ .

No you’re just trying to suggest that a test can’t be pushed up because you hate cats.

Unless you genuinely just do not understand what they mean, which is likely.

It’s amazing because electrical grids are designed to be able to have sections shut down at any time. The intended purpose is literally to prevent a catastrophic shutdown.

Imagine pompously stating that your suggestion is somehow more logical on the basis of 1) there’s a good likelihood you aren’t an electrical engineer and 2) that there’s some kind of genuine risk here (because apparently this guy thinks the whole lynchpin to the fucking grid happens to be this exact pole).

Dunning Kruger, at its finest. Glad to see you still have your head on straight.

Were you expecting different? Because that is exactly what I expect.

I also agree with him, by the way, Erika Kirk is a fucking ghoul that might actually be worse than Charlie.

Yeah you’ll need to be more accurate than ‘start with the FOIA section’ — right now I’m laughing at John Mulholland being paid $3k by the CIA to write a fucking ‘guide on trickery and deception’.

Unless you’re trying to say I’ve fallen for propaganda because they’re good at sleight of hand, at that point I can just direct my laughter in your direction.
