2018-03-31 at 6:07 PM UTC in Dungeons & DragonsI don't think that's true at all. I was essentially a neurotypical when I found this community, and now I have to wipe the drool from my chin several times a day.

2018-03-31 at 5:43 PM UTC in Chronic Hepatitis CI used to run a Facebook page about this very subject. Daily was an admin. We led stimulating discussions that innovated new ways to spread STD's, which I'm told has an apostrophe in it. Unfortunately, I don't think the world was ready for my vision of a population sharing their diseases with one another, and I had to disband the operation.

holy fuck, it'd be a nightmare. all these fucking losers, pro-trump people, anti-trump people, just barging in.
ugggh makes me sick to think about.
I've actually been writing to him saying that he should make an account here. I've sent letters to his offices, his property management firm, the state department, Jeffrey Epstein, etc. all the people he's closest to, but I can't seem to get in touch. I would really like to engage him on some of the subtler points of his philosophy. -

2018-03-29 at 6:35 AM UTC in What's the deal with Satanic Ritual Abuse anyway?The FBI conducted a pretty thorough investigation. My understanding was that their findings revealed some actual abuse going on in a few places which got overshadowed by the spectre of Satanic hysteria. There are accounts from survivors that I've heard on YouTube also, so I really do have to wonder what the truth really is.

2018-03-26 at 1:30 PM UTC in Remembering Captain FalconWe are gathered here today to remember our brother. He was called Captain Falcon, and then simply Jeremus. He might have been very wealthy, or maybe not, but I don't need a screenshot to prove to me that he was the richest among us in spirit. He fought bravely; he touched our hearts. We will never forget him.
I would have followed you, my brother, my Captain. Be at peace, son of Totse.

Let me walk you through it: Sploo thinks that people who go to college are idiots and that they have poor reasons for enrolling, but that he's different. His plan is to put minimal effort into a four-year liberal arts degree, and the resume he submits for internships is going to look exactly as you'd expect for a candidate who makes decisions like that. When he's finished, he'll be tens of thousands in debt (at a minimum), and he'll be competing in the job market with other people who got more marketable degrees and still managed to maintain a stellar GPA and secure crucial internships. Maybe sitting down with a school counselor would help sort out this mess, but something tells me that Sploo will have a difficult time cooperating in a small office with somebody who displays a degree in social work on the wall.

Wow, did I hit a nerve? -

Would you like to be taller than me, Sploo?what pride? i never implied pride for my good grades, im proud im doing ok even though living that trap house life but with more garbage bpins
You have lots of pride. You're proud of your drug use, the IQ tests you've allegedly written, that you're a slacker and that it's worked out okay so far, you used to be proud of being an unruly child, and now you're proud that you're opting out of the college scam by getting okay grades in a shitty major that you don't like.
Excuse me if I'm not impressed. -

2018-03-23 at 1:45 PM UTC in I asked out the girl who I thought liked me and she told me she had a boyfriend.It's entirely possible that you did nothing wrong. I've met girls who did this exact thing. Some were just inconsiderate. Some of them wanted to be pursued, On rare occasions, they might be trying to set the board for a physical confrontation between two men so she can see their desire for her measured in blood. All of them are a waste of your time and thoughts.

2018-03-14 at 8:24 PM UTC in If you became the leader of your country, what would be your first decision?I'd pass an emergency drug package by executive order. This would pardon all minor drug offenders, commute the sentences of distributors, dissolve the DEA, establish a number of harm-reduction policies, and mandate legalization/decriminalization across the board.

Originally posted by Obbe Plants can demonstrate an interest in their own continued existence as well. For instance when they sense a catipllier eating them (or even an audio recording of the sound of a catipllier eating a leaf) some plants will produce certain chemicals as a defense mechanism. 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?
I don't believe there is a "more correct" way of behaving. I don't believe there is a universal morality. I don't believe the "right thing to do is what I believe would be good if everyone did it too". I believe right and wrong is relative, from person to person and from person to animal to plant to mushroom. It's all just a bunch of stuff happening. Some people feel eating animals is wrong so they don't do it. But nobody has any obligation to do anything at all. The universe doesn't care one whit about our lives and it's up to us to make of them what we will. Sometimes awful things happen to innocent people or animals, so it goes. Sometimes the most beautiful things happen to awful people, so it goes. Sometimes everything works out just the way we want it to, so it goes.
A defense mechanism isn't the same as wilfully defending themselves. I'm not about to take that as proof positive that plants are sentient, but supposing that they are and we're guilty of genocide against a surprisingly complex array of flora, then I'd review my diet and see if I can find alternatives. I think we've spent entirely too much time on this hypothetical.
I realize that the issue of whether or not animals have moral agency feels insignificant to you in the grand scheme of things, but my argument is that it shouldn't. It's only easy for you to ignore because there aren't consequences for you. If you feel obligated to help a human in need, I would say that you should also help an animal. Terrible things don't have to happen to them, but they only stop when we decide, most likely much later than that.
You can say that moral relativism is the truth, but I don't believe that you actually leave anything of your life that matters to you in the universe's hands. You have to decide for yourself which injustices you will or will not tolerate, and if you'd rather abdicate from that choice based on notions of nihilism or spiritual unity, that's your decision. Nothing absolves you of that responsibility, not even when you say it isn't there.
Originally posted by Speedy Parker The bottom line is we are part of nature. Nature made us omnivorous. To just eat meat or only vegetables is unnatural
Right, and because oil exists, we were obviously meant to operate motorcycles. And clearly, your intelligence would indicate that you weren't meant to survive past the cradle. Do nature a favor: find a rock, and beat yourself in the face with it until you stop twitching.
Originally posted by infinityshock what youve clearly established is that human beings require caloric consumption to exist and no matter what those calories consist of there will be a well concerted effort at harvesting those calories regardless of consequences or requirements.
Uh, do you need time to finish this thought, or are you going to let it stand as the nonargument that it is? -

Originally posted by Daily Bitter about some kind of government fuckover, has little to strive for due to fucked up CV, acquires resources through the government that caused this fuckover in order to purchase adulterated heroin off the streets.

Dependent on pleasure, not sex or heroin. Has a decent relationship with his children but feels slightly ashamed when comparing his father-child bond to others
Easily the most thorough and illuminating submission from this entire medical group, sorry NARC but it's true.
