There’s a pretty big difference between a Social Democrat and a Democratic Socialist. Only learned that pretty recently myself

I’m not clear what the actual threat to people in the west is? They’re costing us jobs and some wealth, presumably… is that it?


Good answer - pays for itself in less than a year.


I suppose I vaguely care about film adaptations of videogames in general. Interesting that there’s so few good ones


Yeah the new guy who played Greg in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend wasn’t nearly as good. At least they made some knowing jokes about it


I thought it was alright. I wouldn’t say good, but I wouldn’t say dogshit either. I’ve no urge to watch it, but I’d watch it without complaint if someone else put it on


I’ve never knowingly met a billionaire, so I’ve only ever seen staged appearances. I’m pretty sure Musk would be weird despite his billionaire status. Trump, or probably any president, knows there’s a million people out there who would willingly kill him, but I think that’s about power and how he wields it rather than because of the money he has


I think I’d impose near instant karma. Dick cancer for rapists, sprained wrists for people who fap to porn I don’t approve of, billionaires would suffer extreme depression and paranoia until they downgrade to millionaire status, torturers get IBS and hallucinogenic migraines during every job, and corrupt politicians suddenly get unexpected bills for $100 more than the money they made from the crooked deal.


Seems likely. Got nearly 30 years of pretty regular alcohol, cannabinoids and occasional disco biscuits under me belt


I’m not an OCD kinda guy meself, so I couldn’t be definitive about it


Experience Tourette’s-like symptoms. If I remember a painful memory, usually to do with regret or embarrassment, I shout a string of unrelated words. Luckily this doesn’t happen in company


Yep, I just conceived it right now!
But in reality, experience, wisdom, intelligence and strength are valuable: in the same way a parent is ‘in charge’ of a child, every tribe will almost be default have one or more leaders. That doesn’t mean everything they say has to be obeyed though.
I’m impressed by Facebook’s new method. AI generated images of 4 stacks of rocks are generated, and you have to choose the image containing a stack with the specified number of rocks. Much better than deciding whether the section of image containing a couple mm of handlebar counts as a square with a motorcycle
“Teach your kids critical thinking and media literacy”?
I guess Id best go learn that myself, then


That societies were wrong to promote non-violent protest as the only permitted form of resistance.
Thank you!
I did try Stath Lets Flats but I found the humor a bit too cringey. Like… it was good, but made me wince so hard my contact lenses cracked
Ah yeah! Baby Reindeer was fantastic; Ladyparts good too. Somehow forgot about those.
Haven’t heard of most of the others - will give them a bash; thanks!


Good point, there.


You would be stupid to pick up two if you knew you were going to throw one away. Food waste is not a good thing.
But - as odd as this might seem - you could offer the second lettuce to someone else. Either someone else leaving the store, a friend/neighbor or work colleague. Yes I know it’s unusual to stand up in the office and say “does anyone want a free lettuce?” but it’s not only harmless, its positive!
Yes, because for some reason I tend to be mostly attracted to lesbians. Their dress sense and personality is better than straight women IMO; I get on really well with lesbians, often better than with my male friends overall.
So yeah… pretty much all the women who fancy me, I don’t fancy much back, but I feel I ought to reciprocate physically just so I can have a physical relationship from time to time.
