Is that where you mix all the different kinds of freight trains into one?

Who makes that point with $16 a playground basketball?

It's naive to say "Israel gets to do whatever they want." (See? I can quote things the person I'm replying to didn't say to make a strawman, too).

"Certainly this will get rid of my urge to hump butt"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but NEVER fly a drone near a transformer

"I said NO. PICTURES."

To make the subtext even clearer, it shouldn't cost that much, but will end up costing even more than the number they say today as they find new opportunities to line their friend's pockets with your money.

I got banned for "hate" for a comment that said "the nips." Fucking everybody has nipples. It wasn't even sexual.

I was talking about this with my wife. If it beeps when I'm in reverse and a car is 50 feet behind me then it's only training me to ignore the exact same beep that it makes when a person is approaching from my blind spot on foot.

It would never happen because as soon as they take a little too much, they'd be kicked out of the troop. Like with everything else, overpopulation is a big part of the problem here. A human troop kicking you out doesn't have huge consequences like it did when we lived in groups of 150 or so.

Punish the brands that do it with boycotts, bad reviews and naming/shaming online. Call out the creative production and call them hacks. That must be why they're in advertising instead of making something someone would enjoy hearing.

Oof you hit him with a hard r

They're gatekeeping gaming and calling people who don't interact with games the way they do morons. It's childish and, whether it's wrong or not, rude. The upvotes are what gives gamers a bad name, though, not his statement.

Inside that is where the hamster runs on the wheel

I don't understand why people are piling on and blocking you. The comment you're replying to is whiny gatekeeping with a name-calling bow on top. They accuse this group of excluding themselves from "gamers" while calling them stupid and criticizing the way they entertain themselves. I don't know that I'd want to be in a group that talks about me like that, either.

They actually taste a little different in my experience

Shifting the goalposts.. back to where I put them? Go back to whatever hobby calms down your condition.

Lock-and-key grain agriculture exists precisely TO suppress people. Grain agriculture spread not because bread is a miracle and we all love it and need so much of it, but rather because grains have a predictable harvest and consistent size and weight that makes them useful for taxing purposes for states -- and it makes populations grow because it requires you to be sedentary... which also useful for states in many situations. States and hierarchies are the problem.

It also suppresses people. Food is a human right, the way it is for every other animal. Why do rich assholes get to decide who has access to it? Is wealth a measure of whether or not someone should go hungry?

We lived happier (if not easier) lives before we begrudgingly adopted stationary agriculture as a response to unpredictable climates following the ice age. Those in power ensured agriculture (lock-and-key agriculture) remained because it was a reliable tool for suppression - its predictable harvest and consistent grain size make it useful for taxation. AND when you get your population hooked on grains you can instill a culture of weaning children earlier using oatmeal, meaning women can have babies more frequently (no longer lactating). The increase in population serves those in power by making their armies bigger and creating an impressionable population that you can further suppress with religion, etc.
