Plants can demonstrate an interest in their own continued existence as well.

I don't know if plants or animals can be considered moral agents but I don't know if that matters either. What is unlikely? Why? If you did have to reconsider your plant intake, what would you consume to stay alive? Would you try to stay alive?
As Zanick said, there's a difference between defense mechanism and intentional behavior. Even in humans, we have reflexes that can be disjoined intentional behavior. People with CIPA who can't feel pain or temperature differences can still reflexively withdraw a hand if exposed to fire, we flinch in anticipation of pain rather than its experience. Not every response to negative stimulus implies the ability to suffer.

You should communicate how this kind of behavior makes you feel.
If that doesn't work, try to communicate how her behavior than makes that not work makes you feel.

Oh yeah, with a little education opiates are totally safe. Beneficial even. Just look at how we've managed to stamp out unhealthy dietary practices through education. People just don't realize that highly addictive drugs that frequently kill people in overdose are dangerous. Put kids through some shoot-up training in middle school and everything will be great!

Surprisingly the rate of cosmic radiation bit flipping (one of my favorite metrics) is actually high enough that most people with a rotational harddrive have probably experienced it a few times. Every filesystem you're likely to use implements CRC or some other kind of error correction logic though, so the chances of you experiencing data loss as a result is so vanishingly low that it's extremely unlikely anyone here has ever seen it. This dude has some math on it.
Spectral is just fucking retarded because there is zero reason for one filetype to be more affected than another by the phenomenon.

Sweet, thanks my dude. It's nice to be able to have multiple communities without it degrading into petty shitflinging *chough*HDL*cough*.
Everyone else: lets not stir up inter-site shit if we can avoid it. You don't have to be DFG's buddy but this is the cringiest kind of shit to argue over so let's try and avoid it.

Yo, DFG, not really sure what went down but it'd be nice if you would ban the posters that spam instead of the domain. Seems like a reasonable number of posters here found this place through /r/totse, I'd like to keep that channel open if possible.

Great, neither of us claim to be totse or the "official" totse successor. But we do both come from that community, and the totse subreddit kinda has a monopoly on the totse SEO. This "shithole" isn't about to collapse for lack of ability to advertise on your subreddit but seeing as at least some of the people on there have demonstrated a willingness to post here I'd like to be able to continue to let people searching for totse to know this community exists. I'm not asking you to just let spam happen but if you could distinguish between people spamming and people posting links to this site in an informative/helpful way I'd appreciate it.

The pet store was selling them for 5¢ a piece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like niggers.
I took my 200 niggers home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.
I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the niggers were so inexpensive: they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead. Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn cheap niggers.
I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead niggers lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs.
I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet nigger and 199 dead, dry niggers.
I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real bad.
I had to pee but there was a dead nigger in the toilet and I didn't want to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately there was only enough room for two niggers at a time so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so it didn't all go bad.
I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the fire.
Then I had one dead, wet nigger in my toilet, two dead, frozen niggers in my freezer, and 197 dead, charred niggers in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my niggers and to use the bathroom. I severely beat one of my niggers. I felt better.
I tried throwing them way but the garbage man said that the city wasn't allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.
I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like them but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals.
I like niggers.
You think I'm gonna enjoy nigger cattle after I've had a fucking space alien? Are you fucking crazy? I've got a fucking space alien. Of course I'm not going to fuck with nigger cattle.

That said, almost everything I write on here is totally random shitposting to kill time, it’s not a good representation. The same could probably be said for most of you fuckers so it’s hard to tell sometimes who’s actually intelligent. Zanick is definitely up there though.
Lol, nigga, you describe yourself as "brilliant" (or rather you recount other people describing you as brilliant) and you think I'm the one that overstates my intelligence.
Eat a dick nigga

5-10mg memantine, 10mg noopept (or equivalent dose of piracetam). Synephrine/yohimbine is my semi-daily low-grade stimulant combo at the moment, I was taking 2-fma daily or every other day for a bit but while it's fun it's not ideal since even with memantine tolerance ramps up pretty quick and the duration is kinda awkward, you need to redose in the middle of the day to be up the whole day and it made sleep an issue so I figure it's better saved for recreation. Caffeine dances in and out of my life, lately I've been drinking a ton of tea but I'm sure tolerance will build up again and I'll just drop it at the point I can't get a reasonable buzz out of drinking tea/coffee. And of course my good buddy ethanol. I do my best work, by far, while buzzed or drunk. I think the booze is the only thing I'd have a hard time giving up

The jedis and palestinians on my campus are having a shitflinging contest at the moment. It's been going on for years but it's flared up recently after the jedi group invited the Mayor of Tel Aviv (I think, some mayor) to give a talk and the palestinian group shouted him off the stage. jedi group went out and publicly declared the university's administration and all the professors in the arab studies department anti-semites and now some dudes are going around campus tagging "zionists not welcome" and "zionism is racism" everywhere and both parties are trying to catch them for obvious reasons. Someone noticed that if you report the tagging in progress, campus police will take segways or actually sprint across campus to try and catch them and I'm pretty sure someone is putting in phony reports a couple of times a day just for the spectacle of it.
