Lmao imagining kid you opening the book to see the page pointed at “see,” only to have to reread the page anyway because you lost track of what a character was seeing

I have used squares of toilet paper in the past. But if I own the book, I’m as like to use the dog ear as I am to find a piece of scrap paper

Chaotic evil here. Books exist to be read, anything you do to aid that endeavor is justifiable

>never votes because he doesn’t think his vote matters

>awful politician gets elected because he didn’t vote

See guys? Voting doesn’t work!

Yes, I could have voted for anyone I wanted, and there were still only two people who could possibly have been elected. Any vote for anyone other than those two literally didn’t impact the election.

Unfortunately I couldn’t read this idiot’s replies before they got nuked, but I’m pretty sure I saw something along the lines of “and yet Harris didn’t win the election” in my notifications.

Harris got 48.4% of the votes, Trump got 48.9% of the votes, and no one else got even close to 1%. If you don’t understand how Harris had a solid chance and Stein doesn’t, I can only assume you’re either a child who’s never interacted with an election before, or a troll from a foreign country trying desperately to sow discord in America, because I do not believe that an adult can genuinely be that stupid.

Do you genuinely believe the situation for Palestine is going to be equally bad under Trump as it would under Harris?

Did anyone see what his response was? I really wanna know if he acknowledged how much worse Trump is

There were exactly two paths the trolley could go down as of November. You can pretend there weren’t, but the only option any individual had other than Harris or Trump was to assassinate one or both, and I’m not interested in getting iced by the SS

Unless you think there’s some magic number of comments you can make on the internet that will somehow convince enough voters to ditch the two main parties. Of course, you would have to be incredibly naive to believe in that magic number.

Edit: let’s update the trolley problem to be more in line with this election. Imagine instead of two tracks, there are three: the Red Track has 5,000,000 innocent people tied to it. The Blue Track meets back up with the Red Track down the line, but skips past 4,500,000 of those people. The Green Track doesn’t have anyone tied to it at all.

If the trolley goes down the Red Track, 5,000,000 people die. If the trolley goes down the Blue Track, only 500,000 of those people die. If the trolley goes down the Green Track, nobody dies. The choice is obvious, right? Pick the green track!

Except polling shows that 75 million people will be pulling the Red Lever, 75 million people will be pulling the Blue Lever, and less than 1 million people will be pulling the Green Lever. What Lever is most likely to save the most people?

It’s Blue, the answer is Blue, because not enough people give a shit about Green to pull it, and too many people are zealously in favor of Red to dissuade them. The only way to prevent any deaths is to help get the Blue lever pulled.

Were it not for people like me, Trump would still have been elected. Were it not for people like you, an alternative may have had a chance.

Nope. Voting for the slightly less evil politician doesn’t mean you support genocide anymore than pulling the lever means you support innocent people being run over by trolleys.

Nope, voting for (supporting) a politician who commits genocide MEANS YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE.

Close, but you fail to understand that a vote doesn’t necessarily mean I support them. It could be that the only alternative would be significantly worse. It’s actually a lot like the trolley problem, in that sometimes there is no good choice, only a least bad choice.

I am willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to save millions. You’re willing to sacrifice millions to say you kept your hands clean. Don’t act like you’re the morally correct one.

Republicans and Democrats are the same.

They’re exactly the same, except one side wants to kill my friends for being gay

The only argument you can make for the preference of the first/second party candidates is not based on merit, but popularity alone.

I mean yeah, obviously. Anyone over the age of 22 should have been able to tell you that the only two candidates with a chance of winning in '24 were the Republican or the Democrat.

It’s circular logic to justify a population voting for a candidate on the basis of popularity - “we must vote for them because we’re voting for them”.

We (my peers) must vote for them because we (the rest of the country) are voting for them.

It seems like you don’t understand the simple fact that most americans genuinely like the Democrat or the Republican. They don’t get elected because everyone has deluded themselves into thinking everyone else is going to vote for them, they get elected because the average person sees Trump or Biden and says “I like that guy.”

But you’re SUPPORTING GENOCIDE when you vote for the candidate most likely to get the fewest people killed! While the people of Palestine are about to be annihilated, my own right to marry is about to be taken away, and all of my trans friends are going to lose access to the drugs that keep them from killing themselves, I can rest easy knowing that I didn’t engage with the system at all

I don’t think I missed your point at all. You were expressing derision at people who kill pests. I asked how you feel about pests in your own home, and you didn’t answer.

Tangentially related, you can also combine a basic knowledge of math with a basic knowledge of spreadsheets to make people think you’re the second coming of Einstein

I shat this out in 5 minutes. All the white cells are user editable, and the blue cell calculates automatically. I could make it estimate annual gas costs by letting you adjust monthly mileage instead of speed and tweaking the math a bit. The average person would sooner close the application than try and make an interactive spreadsheet

Edit: I made the annual price one. You can either use monthly mileage for a good estimate, or distance to work for a very rough estimate (it multiplies the distance by 2x260 (2 to account for round trip, 260 because there are 52 weeks in a year and every week has 5 work days))

Of course it doesn’t account for non-work driving, but it also doesn’t account for holidays, so maybe it evens out

For my turbonerds out there, I’m not sharing the sheet itself because my name is on it, but here’s the behind-the-scenes

most place around me won’t even let you adopt a cat if you don’t say you’ll keep it inside.

I’ve yet to see an animal shelter in my entire country that doesn’t have this claws in its adoption contract. I haven’t run an exhaustive search (there are over 4,000 shelters), but I’ve checked dozens.

You would think that every single animal welfare group agreeing that cats should be kept inside would be enough to convince people that maybe cats should be kept inside, but alas

I will bet my left testicle that someone is gonna read this comment, and think I’m calling cats cockroaches. 100% guaranteed.

fuck people who act entitled as fuck and macho, just out to harm other living beings because they entered an imaginary zone next to their assumed home.

That’s not why people kill pests. If you find that your house is infested with cockroaches, do you just let them be because you don’t want to seem entitled?

Edit: also

Be a little piece of shit, and one day you’ll find out that you aren’t the only one who can kill, as you learn your brakes aren’t functional on the highway.

But you’re making fun of people for acting “macho” for defending their property from destructive animals. Lol

It’s fortunate that your experience with stray cats has been as positive as it’s been, but anyone who’s actually dealt with them knows you’re full of shit
