“jk, trolling”

Wow, that’s really surprising, you’d think a spinning platter would draw more power than solid state transistors

And that’s why I don’t like cricket.

I appreciated this comment, that’s a great show and tell story.

It’s too easy to make, and weed is too easy to grow, so neither should be restricted since they’re part of our culture and will be consumed anyway. Broadly true for other drugs as well since they can be got, but it’s not like just anyone can make MDMA (which, if taken in a pure and controlled dose, is safer than both cannabis and alcohol incidentally, with therapeutic benefits too).

It’s just more climate catastrophising. CaCO3 and H2CO3 form a buffer that would minimise the effects of acidification. The idea that all fish would die is dumb. Terrestrial plants produce oxygen by photosynthesis so oxygen won’t disappear from the atmosphere.

So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.

It’s a Nietzsche reference

Read the other comments please.

Thanks for this :)

I agree with your last point - and I may be a bit bourgeois (not to mention ignorant) myself. I’d appreciate recommendations if you wouldn’t mind.

Yeah, because I’m a tightarse and only buy the home brand stuff :)

Defund the coppers!

Lead pipes aren’t so bad. It’s lead as an ion rather than an element that’s the problem. The lead that led to the dumbenising and collapse of Rome was actually lead acetate, which is sweeter than sugar. They added it to wine, believe it or not. Then you get the Pb2+ ions in your bloodstream and you start to watch Fox News.

Other things grow, but corn and soybeans are heavily subsidised (not to mention genetically modified).

Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel…

Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!

Islam’s on the up-and-up globally though. India’s becoming very Hindu-nationalist too. There’s always a hidden enemy lurking somewhere.

His name is Mammon.

I like your Christ. I don’t like your Christians.
