If you and your friends have YouTube/Google accounts you’ll get recommendations based on what your friends watch and search for.

Probably because your brain subconsciously does color correction (similar to optical illusions) that you don’t notice until you have a direct comparison.

I assumed “weird” was used intentionally as an understatement for comedic effect.

Definitely the type of bio you write while high and you don’t have the sense of mind to consider that other people have also had these feelings and maybe you’re not quite so special in the way you think you are.

It’s different for everyone, but some people will only admit they’re wrong to compassionate people.

People will fight their enemies, but they’re willing to let their guard down among friends.

I think that’s one of the reasons why MLK Jr got killed. His enemies didn’t know how to fight him or his beliefs. He forced people to view each other as humans and that’s a tough pill to swallow for people who don’t have a capacity to give or ask for forgiveness.

Two weeks? I feel like 9 months minimum.

Good point.

Making sure people are engaged at state and local levels is really important.

I like how in Trump’s world he thinks he needs to explain the internet to people.

I need to get some of that John Brown strength of conviction.

I’d say it’s a stretch given the nature of first past the post two party elections and strategic voting. But who knows. Anything could happen.

It’s not so bad being the worst player on the team. Just means you have a lot of room for improvement as long as you’re willing to learn. Honestly it’s one of my favorite situations to find myself in. “Oh I suck. How can I get better?”

Gotcha. I guess I don’t really see “God” as a sentient being exclusively, so applying characteristics to him has always been a challenge.

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

I’m not trying to be funny, but would you also characterize “nature” as being an asshole?

I’m using the same structure as the original comment to make it easier to compare/contrast.

The fact that it’s causing you mental unrest means you need to report to the main office for a Voight-Kampff test. The tortoise lays on its back, it’s belly baking in the hot sun trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

No, see. Tooth decay, carnivorousness, and everything else were seen as neither good nor bad until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and gained consciousness. Prior to that, everything was still absolute chaos, but without a knowledge of good and evil there was no way to make value judgements.

Things are the same as they’ve always been. The only thing that has changed is your perception.

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don’t think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.

Pachycephalasaurus has always been on of my favorites.
