I’d forgive if it were returned. It’s one of those ‘you’re my enemy until that plate gets put back in my microwave’ type-shit for me.

Return-the-slab-type shit.

Aren’t the optional parts supposed to be in the parentheses? Like the portions you know are going into the pronoun should not be seperated from the text. So it’d be (s)(t)he(y) I think.

I do not know where you’re coming from here. Pinnochio wants to be a real boy. He’ll be what he eats, so he’s going to eat a real boy so he becomes one himself. Nothing about that matches curiosity or innocence. Pinnochio has a dasterdly, horrific plan, which he aims to enact. Sly is more apt, if not alittle understated.

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.

Petting cat > securing corporate profits

Him being a Nick Fuentes fan, and being more conservative because of that, does not then prove or support the idea that Mormons in general are more conservative than Republicans.

corporate punk

Those words meaning nothing together lol. Like saying upward down

Sounds like they just stopped dopamine saturating themselves. If you’re constantly seeking dopamine-producing activities, your receptors straight up stop being able to uptake more dopamine, and I’ve heard that dopamine overproduction can wear out your pituitary gland so that it stops producing enough (this is mostly noted in drug abusers). So there’s a school of thought that engaging in less dopamine-inducing activities helps you have a healthier baseline where your brain experiences more enjoyment out of regular activities.

I have only ever encountered these talking points in passing so i have no clue if it’s true.

Anyone actually know what measurment devices are used to observe which slit the electron passes through? How do we know that a specific measuring tool isn’t changing the experiment significantly enough to cause issues with outcome and that the behavior change is abnormal?

Sell to other billionaires ad nauseum. Let the rest of humanity starve. The usual kings and peasants model

I did but that was mostly my own doing.

Can’t a man take his raccoon on a night time ride without being accosted by the state? Absolute tyranny.

It’s disruptive to the natural order to save prey from predator. Now that Truck-kun will go without a meal it would’ve gotten. It might even starve having missed that meal.

Incredibly irrisponsible behavior. Do not do this! Preserve the natural order so these habitats can continue in equilibrium!

You’re so close to being in on the joke

Yeah, pretty much any positive time in the US, we gotta remember that Black folks were excluded from the positive aspects of those times. Intentionally.

That looks yummy

This is essentially the Zionist stance.

It started with a view that ‘in order for Jews to escape persecution, an ethnostate for the Jewish faith must be established’. During this time it was still in contention within the movement on where Zion should be established, but it’s also noteable that independant zionist groups were buying land in Palestine for establishing Zion at the same time. This was during the time that Palestinians (and Arabs within the Ottoman empire in general) were helping the British with destabilizing the Ottoman empire under the agreement that these resistance groups would be given their land back from the Ottomans.

Then the Balfour Declaration occurred in 1917 which promised British support in making Palestine a safehaven for Jews, and shortly after the promise of giving Palestinians their land was reevaluated.

As tensions and conflict arose between the well-funded Zionist collective growing in Palestine and the Palestinian forces who wanted the Zionist project out of Palestine, a new tone ended up showing up in Zionist literature. A noteable essay, ‘The Iron Wall’ by Ze’ev Jabotinsky communicates that shift fairly well.

Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.

Essentially Ze’ev concludes in his essay that the Zionist project will fail unless it takes on a fully colonialist design. This was also just after Winston Churchill prohibited Zionists from settling on the East side of the Jordan River in 1923.

These are mostly snippets of the whole history, but it is essentially the trajectory we’ve followed since, from what I’ve read.

I think I see the problem. Tortoise should be where turtle is, turtle should be in that corner.

McCarthyism is probably the most succinct answer. The Cold War directly aligned us against the Soviet Union, and a key means of villainizing the USSR and its citizenry was to paint their core governing beliefs as heretical to the American way.

There is also no doubt in my mind that Socialism’s strong connection to Union activity in the US also incentivized Corporate Barons to lobby against Social Politics hard. I have not seen any specifics about that myself, though. Modern lobbying efforts are well-known, though.

That reads very similar to a dwarf fortress carving description.
