the same people that invented fireworks (thing that is set on fire and goes boom) now actively research/made the safe batteries (things that DON’T set on fire AND don’t go boom)

reading more than one source is how it goes. If it’s a new paper with no other sources, i’d assume waiting for more sources is the default.

you’re dense as a rock.

sometimes speaking up and voting thirdparty and not voting the small evil IS the moral choice, sure.

however, in the reality of " a fixed amount of people will vote republican no matter what, and a variable amount will vote dems if they feel like it " you have to allow yourself to go against the most moral choice and opt for the 2nd most moral.

If both candidates support getting rid of Gaza, but one of them also wants to nuke half the planet, the choice is obvious no?

Not to mention compounding factors like… if you actually want change for the better you vote for the thing with the highest likelihood of winning. the thing that changes things to your side.

Maybe the missing votes and the 3rd party wouldn’t have been enough, maybe. But if all those missing votes showed up and the US still ended up ruled by the current clown, maybe the discussion would have just been “wow MAGAOTTS fucking suck” instead of all the useless finger pointing and infighting.

But go ahead, tell me how flexible morals are shady, compared to the rigid and tunneled “this thing is bad and i will die on my little bump” rigid morality that is oh so common with the MAGAOTTS mentioned earlier.

he made fun of the epstein files not existing, after being a devout trump hater

is this the virtual insanity i keep hearing of

apparently no one i know can sense the chemical/marker(?) taste in artificial cherry flavouring like dr. pepper or cherry coke/pepsi

i seriously don’t know how anyone can get past that taste, so i figure people either enjoy it, or don’t notice it

And you sound like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly about people and you can’t comprehend someone not having a reductionist take on generalised human suffering.

I don’t think anyone here is denying people suffer from capitalism, i think they’re just saying capitalism is a factor rather than the only cause, similar to how the Archduke’s assassination was a factor among many in starting WW1.

Would you rather not get anything because it’s not good enough?? you’re literally letting perfect be in the way of good

how dare you!? i put pineapple on pizza and DON’T play inverted. don’t compare me to them

i’m not american loool so its not my country going full bore idiot

Yeah dude, the Pandemic was localised entirely within the U.S.

Trump dancing like a clown on the world stage, wrecking economies and aiding his favourite Russian Master is at this point only affecting the U.S. No other country affected by this shitshow 👍

As another virgo, this indeed tracks.

wouldn’t you need to do ‘hail sized pea, hail sized baseball’ etc? otherwise you are comparing the size of hail to other objects, rather than other objects to hail

but there are arguments

I suppose it’s meant to represent the colour of gold

“better detailed” doesn’t necessarily mean “better art” …

Art being fidel to reality is it’s own subset of art movement, called realism. Many people appreciate it as “wow this is so close to real life/so much effort”, but then if you ask people what they think the greatest artworks are they might bring any artist. Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Dalí, Picasso, Pollock, etc.

So no, just because something is closer to real life does not make it “objectively the best art” in the broader sense of art. Maybe you can measure that when pit against other realism pieces, which sre not as faithful to real life.

1 if its very cold, otherwise pick randomly between 4,5, 19 or 20

I suppose it depends on the building, where I went to vote (and most places i’ve seen in live coverages) just had plain blueish curtains

2. 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.
