Yes? Isn’t that just obvious?

Our boy in Kohlin Blue has got this.

Though the practice isn’t recommended, I eventually found my sad poly girlfriend by walking into random houses until I saw her sitting on a couch looking sad and worried.

(Jk. Actual reality: the world weaving weird shit together)

The irony of how many times I’ve been at a club or party looking for that girl.

But she doesn’t generally go to clubs or parties.

Absofuckinglutely.

Toxic positivity leads to omnipresent, convoluted negativity. Just feel what’s there. Let the thoughts run their course.

Of course, actually discovering that this is viable is kindof a dice throw of readiness. But at least if you don’t have the necessary experience, you live the necessary experience.

Filthy things. They kind of want to be used, don’t they?

Healthy in the sense of ‘being a thriving entity’, not in the sense of ‘being particularly good for your health’.

Now I know what the fox says.

This is a fishing line.

Not really. The only insane people I like to be involved with are those who send lots of vids privately to me, demonstrating their insanity for my judgment and/or enjoyment.

Then socialism is fascism, because there are enough lazy fools to make that happen.

I do know some people use ‘female’ in a derogatory way. I also know people who use ‘men’ in a derogatory way. I also know some who use ‘female’ and ‘male’ when they don’t want to say that the people involved are ‘men’ or ‘women’, in the sense of being grown-ass adults.

It was three distinct points. But it wouldn’t matter if I did reason it out for you - your stance is emotive, and you won’t agree with me unless that viewpoint underlying your stance changes, and it won’t change due to someone reasoning it out for you.

The slow grind of time, and the steady erosion by nature may cause you to change, though. Fortunately, whether it does or not, it’s basically irrelevant to me whether or not you believe or act as I do.

Edit, in response to your edit:

You sure do assume a lot about me. But, so it goes. Again - I’m not really concerned with whether you think like I do or not. You can even hate me if you like. I don’t expect you to come to my viewpoint by anything I say. My viewpoint is different than yours, and that suits me fine. Such is diversity.

Nature will undoubtedly provide a grisly and cruel death. Animals don’t have a concept of “long, well-lived life full of meaning.” They do have a direct experience of “having food and shelter and being generally free of pain is enjoyable.”

It doesn’t matter if it’s in their prime (before they decline and life becomes difficult) or of it’s after their prime - except that if you wait too long, life starts to suck pretty bad.

If you want to end predation, you’ll have an eternal task on your hands.

Except in rare circumstances, mostly human ones, animals (including humans) don’t want to die, and die anyways.

The best we can give them is a fervent (typo) decent life and a humane death. The meat industry is atrocious at this, and carbon dioxide is a terrible idea - particularly when nitrogen is readily available, humane, and cheap.

Nailed it.

There’s a legal obligation to extract the most value for your shareholders. This doesn’t apply in sole proprietorships or partnerships with a more centralized ownership, where there’s the realistic potential to have a conversation with one of the others (or internally) and say things like “let’s do y, because doing x would be fucked, even if it made me more money.”

In a publicly traded company, you can literally be sued by your shareholders for not putting profits first. This puts a background pressure that slants the odds in favor of enshitification. And whole industries are based on utilizing slightly uneven odds, so that has a real impact.

As you said - without being publicly traded, people can still be evil, but they aren’t nearly as likely.

Kidding is irrelevant. Your interpretation is irrelevant. Surrender is inevitable. You will be assimilated.

Yeah, it’s like a Star Wars themed ad saying “feel the power of the dark side of the force! Use your hate, buy Microsoft things!”

It’s ironic how unironic it is.

Although I’m fine with witty banter, when I ask questions I look for people who can combine their genuity with intelligence.

So indeed. Not of you. And not of anyone you imagine I should.

Your dangling reply is most welcome, should you make one.
