I turned on the radio in my car to tune into the debate. The first thing I heard was Trump saying "we had the most immaculate air, we had the most immaculate water".

I just shut the damn thing off.

The longer one spends on Lemmy the more untreated mental illness one finds.

It can be, but only once.

I didn't know it was possible to say "I'm a jackass" without saying "I'm a jackass". TIL.

So maybe don't run your mouth if you're unrepentantly uninformed.

It says why in the article. They sat cross-legged and chewed on the end of rushes to make a brush.

Boy, if only there was a way you could get that information. Wouldn't it be convenient if there was a link to the paper's abstract so you wouldn't have to talk out of your ass?

That's where they store the black water.

Yeah, they did.

Their hypothesis was that men who were dissatisfied with the size of their penises were more likely to own guns. The opposite ended up being the case.

Based on her recent testimony, it's believable. According to her they met at a business conference and she sought him out to pitch an idea. It doesn't seem like he went out of his way to seek her out or contact her out of the blue.

Hey, holy shit! Thanks for finding that!

Were you fishin' in mah waters, motherlicker?

HELL YEAH, BROTHER!

Didn't somebody try making a Guide rod laser sight one upon a time?

I don't know for sure, but I believe it's a context issue.

There's nothing wrong with discussing the size and consistency of my bowel movements with my doctor, but it's probably not OK for me to do that with a stranger on the bus.

Well, serves me right for feeding the troll.

Because they're different crimes with different motives committed by different people under different circumstances.

Literally the only things in common between the two are firearms, humans being involved, and them both taking place on the planet Earth.

A Great Filter is way, way bigger than that. Something that prevents a civilization from being able to expand into space. This includes things like "you can't make fire on this planet and therefore are never able to learn to work metal" and "supernovas sterilize regions of space before species can leave them".

Even the worst ecological disaster - one that kills billions - will not prevent humanity from eventually recovering, rebuilding, and expanding.

Under no circumstances (even Cold War mutually assured destruction) can human politics be a Great Filter. Thinking that it can be is small-minded and petty.

Case in point for Lemmy being a shit hole.

If by "paragraphs" you mean two sentences, sure.

If you'd bothered to read past those two sentences you'd see that I was making an offhand comment before answering the question.
