I think you lost the thread

What even is this? Who is providing this service in the first place? This is weird, right? It’s not just me?

You have shredder trucks going through your neighbourhoods like mendicant tinkers??

Uhhhhhh, no we weren’t. It cost extra to be unlisted, so most of us just lived with it. But there was a loophole. You could tell them what name you wanted listed, and they wouldn’t do any verification. I still get mail for “Rusty Shacklesord.” They misheard me when I got listed, and hell, I wasn’t going to correct them. Whenever I get a call or mail for Mr. Shacklesord, I know it’s bullshit and I can do whatever I want to the asshole.

would be fascinated if someone who disagrees can give a cogent argument

Please adopt. None of us are individually all that special, you don’t need to see your bloodline continue. The interests of DNA are not our interests. If having your own DNA reproduced is more important to you than raising a child who needs a parent, you probably shouldn’t be a parent at all.

If you are a corporation staking thousands or millions of dollars on some code, you hire someone to audit it. If you are a dude playing with apps on your phone, you accept the risk of ingorance.

I remember the feeling when I first used a GUI to “run” a “program” instead of using an interpreter. It felt like a pain in the ass.

Where do you think dietary cholesterol comes from?

This is where cognitive dissonance takes people. He’s less interested in his theory’s predictive power than he is in its ability to distract him from reality.

Your body makes shit, too. Don’t eat shit, dummy. That isn’t reason enough to conclude it is safe to eat.

Don’t want to stop being cruel and violent? Want to keep committing atrocity against vulnerable individuals while destroying human-supporting environments on Earth, for absolutely no practical benefit to yourself? Well good news! Investor-driven medical research is here to protect you (and only you) from the consequences of your monstrous choices!

One of those things is not like the others.

When I was upset about what I saw all around me, I was told that animals don’t suffer like we do. They aren’t conscious like we are. I knew better, but when everyone is acting as if something is true, you can kind of get drawn up in it, and I guess I believed it for a while. It was a helpful belief to have.
