Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.

Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.

That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?

There’s no way cavemen weren’t the first people having bukakke gangbangs.

There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.

In order to solve that problem you need

1. Safe housing to provide to those people
2. A system for assigning those people to the housing.

Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

1. Hold them accountable through voting
2. Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we’re able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.

Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.

That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

It’s not so bad being the worst player on the team. Just means you have a lot of room for improvement as long as you’re willing to learn. Honestly it’s one of my favorite situations to find myself in. “Oh I suck. How can I get better?”

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don’t let what other people do ruin my happiness. If I’m happy with the work I’m doing and the amount I’m getting paid then I really don’t care what other people do.

I bet it tastes funny.

“There’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone.”

I hope that at this point humans are in the process of realizing that killing the nukes is way more beneficial than killing their enemies with nukes.

It would be the same as saying there is only one species of broccoli, Brassica oleracea.

The joke was also explained in the title of the post “A Very Emphatic Answer” which highlights the exclamation mark (emphasis) on the answer as being important.

Good luck ever defining “good”.

I think you’re right, but I don’t think most people who use Linux care about whether or not it’s popular. Popularity is almost entirely irrelevant to the philosophy.

My theory is that people who are obsessed with aliens or the paranormal are just subconsciously struggling with the cognitive dissonance they feel about the relationship between their “self” and “other” people, or vise versa.

In order to answer the question “are we alone in the universe?” first you have to establish what it would mean to be “alone”.

It comes down to existential fear. “What if there are other beings out there who are more capable than us and will treat us the way we treat beings who are less capable than ourselves?”

The only way to resolve that dissonance is to believe that despite our differences with aliens, we could come to understand each other and coexist peacefully. Of course that’s a difficult conclusion to come to when the people experiencing this fear generally have a hard enough time accepting the differences between members of their own fuckin’ species lol
