Damn, I wish I could upvote this more than once.

Big difference between letting in someone with a DUI and someone who is a convicted rapist

I’ve never heard of that idea before, but it’s really interesting! I wonder how they’d be able to prove something like that?

I was wondering when someone would mention MasterCrap

While I agree with you on most accounts, Milwaukee drills have cheap switches on them, they’re usually the first to hang to go. The chucks seem kinda cheap too, but honestly that’s not enough for me to switch teams, I’m married to Milwaukee, and the divorce would just be too damn expensive at this point.

It’s definitely an improvement to the song

It seems to me that you’re attempting to equate an internal monologue with intelligence, and I don’t think that’s a fair assumption. An internal monologue is just a brains way of formatting its thoughts and feelings about the information that flows in. There are many ways to do this, and one way isn’t necessarily “superior” to another. That’s just how brains work. And while many intelligent people do have this internal monologue, it’s absolutely not necessary for intelligence.

Side note, one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met is aphasiac, and doesn’t have an internal monologue.

Usually that doesn’t hurt, but that doesn’t mean that it never hurts. Really it depends on how sensitive they are, or if there are underlying issues (like cysts deep inside the tissue, maybe) that would make pressure on them very uncomfortable, or downright painful.

Uh, lots and lots of people are hungry, lack shelter and jobs. Almost 600,000 people in the US right now are unhoused, and one in eight homes are food insecure (roughly 44 million). The only area where the US is doing good right now is the unemployment rate, which is currently sitting at an ideal 3.7%.

As for causes of civil war, economic inequality plays a large role, as does political deprivation, both of which are rampant (you can thank late-stage capitalism for the first, and the far-right for the second). There are other factors at play, of course, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility for the US to go there.

No, in the same way that it’s not sexist to criticize a person for something unrelated to their gender, and it’s not racist to criticize someone for something unrelated to their “race” or ethnicity.

I think the person in your example is being an asshole, and they clearly don’t understand the definitions of antisemitism or misogyny. Assholes are everywhere, in every country, culture, and religion. Nowhere is exempt. Which is a shame, because people everywhere are deserving of dignity and respect.

Except for assholes.

… Do you not?

Absolutely this. They don’t like being bested by anyone, especially if you’re younger or smarter or a different gender than they are.

I remember these, I loved them as a kid! I used to read them all the time

Hmm. It’s not silicone free, though, and seems to react with hair dye, so maybe use with caution.

If you’re sensitive or are allergic to SLS, ysk that it’s in damn near everything - not just toothpaste and cleaning supplies, but also laundry detergent, soap, face and body wash, shaving cream, and bubble bath. It also goes by a plethora of other names, so that’s fun.

Some would smell bad; some people have nasty hygiene, so you know their tails would be gross and covered with shit all the time

My favorite is the “delusions of adequacy”, that one had to sting! The six-pack one though sounds like possible ADHD or some other learning disorder - your child is smart enough, but lacks the ability to do well

Faith could be your faith in humanity or your faith in yourself or someone else

I mean, they still exist and can absolutely still be used 😁

Bonus points if there’s pie
