    Playboy models were hotter back in the sixties and early seventies, before cocaine, implants, and bleach blonde hair became the norm.

    Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it. Wet literally means “covered in or consisting of liquid,” and yet everyone seems to think water can’t be wet just because it also makes other things wet, which it does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t itself wet

    The purpose of life is to maximise pleasure and anyone yapping against that is either trying to control you or still hasn’t deprogrammed from puritan cultural influence.

    We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.

    Eagles could work too.

    All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.

    Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.

      Being someone that thinks all noisy motorcycles should be banded, I think these are neither left or right, just wrong. Make them electric bikes.

        Chain drive electrics are fine, if a tad boring, but they currently lack range.

        Also smaller motorbikes aren’t loud, just ban loud exhaust.

      Mountain lions cannot catch cats and dogs easily. Also, plenty of people would straight up murder mountain lion with a gun or their car to save a dog or cat.

      Catch, Neuter, Release diminishes wild cat populations dramatically over just a couple generations, and it doesn’t involve having to facilitate their deaths.

      Edit: I am a fan of the motorcycle idea. We should make sure they’re electric to cut down on their driving volume.

        i was gonna say, my favorite vehicles i’ve owned goes in order: my etrike, the hot red turbocharged 90s sportscar i drove in college, the late 80s nissan convertible with the popup headlights i learned to drive in, the hybrid we got right now, all the rest, and then that piece of shit barely worked had a door held on with duct tape and those awful automatic seatbelts but these made a RUHRUHRUH sound because they didn’t retract all the way when you got out and it had a leaky radiator that the dude who owned it before me thought you could fix by cracking an egg into it fucking garbage 94 Ford Tempo. It was Blue.

        which is to say i’m a big fan of the motorcycle idea or just ebikes

          Come to vietnam. Outside of HCMC and Hanoi, where there are so many bikes they recreate the issues with cars, the freedom and flexibility of 90%+ of the population using motorbikes is good for your soul. The emissions of 8 million 10 year old bikes is bad for your lungs tho.

          China is kinda ahead in that they have both bikes, ebikes/scooters, and public transit, but theres way more cars.

        Cougars absolutely can and do eat cats and dogs; their natural prey is primarily deer but they’ll absolutely hunt smaller animals if given the opportunity. It’s also not unheard of for them to stalk children and even adults.

        It is a hoax that feral and domesticated cats are destroying the environment in places where they have predators, which is almost everywhere except Australia and some isolated islands. Cats live near humans precisely because they have so many predators in the wild.

      The only disagreement I have about the bikes is that 200cc is a bit high. But smaller? Yeah probably fine.

      Pro-death penalty, gender-specific application, and ignoring due process probably puts this on the right.

      Plenty of people on the left advocate for self-defense even to the point of lethal force but almost all of those would want an investigation and trial, and that probably means holding the killer in jail until a bond hearing. Carte blanche trust that the killer was justified is something unlikely to be offered outside of individualist people with a very strong distrust of the government to interfere with people’s lives, and those tend to be on the right. It also implies women need a legal exception as a vulnerable group which reinforces the traditional idea that they are dependent on external protection.

      1. why limit to women?

      2. where’s the due process?

      3. wouldn’t this open an avenue for getting away with murder using rape as an excuse and therefore also degrading the severity of actual rape cases?

          I mean, people on the left generally aren’t against subsidizing transportation, the problem is with cars specifically. Their dominance is generally bad for society as a whole, but good for a few already very powerful people.

        Right? TP ban sounds like something a person who has never used a bidet would say. Even the bidets that “dry your bum” take forever and don’t fully dry.

          I’m totally fine with just using two squares of paper to both get dry faster and to ensure that everything is fully clean post-bidet application, to be honest

        Admitting it is left. Creating a whole bigoted persona around how bad it is while secretly engaging in it anyway would be right.
