  • NDT has some sexual harassment allegations in his closet, which means it's only a matter of time before he's blaming this UFO hysteria on trans people.

  • I actually just adopted knocking on wood. Couldn't tell ya why.

  • After reading Flatland and playing The Forgotten City, I feel like any number of human religions could end up being "true" to some degree. But it would involve aliens, or interdimensional interlopers or something.

  • OP is equating, not the Romani and the homeless, but the way the people around them treat and talk about them.

    OP is comparing Americans and Europeans, and their comparable depravity.

  • Literally nobody ever believed it was about "protecting the children."

    Liberal rubes sure did. They'll keep insisting that's the case too, even as bans on trans adults existing sweep forth. Liberals absolutely don't give a fuck about us.

  • The speed of advancement from the industrial revolution to present.

    This one makes Fermi's Paradox far more confusing and terrifying to me. The time it took to go from agriculture to the steam engine is nothing compared to the age of the universe, absolutely nothing, and from the steam engine to modern technology is fuck ton nothing.

    An intelligent species could go from stone age technology to nuclear weapons in the blink of an eye.

    And that's just life as we understand it. We have no idea if we're the equivalent of Flatland in a higher spatial dimension or something. There could be stars with entire civilizations of plasma-based intelligent life churning inside of them. There could be intelligent civilizations lurking in each and every single subatomic particle.

    It's possible no matter how far out or far in we look, we just keep finding more universe, more space for something to inhabit, forever...

    As they said on

    , if we look everywhere and we're the only intelligent species anywhere in this universe ... well that would be weirder than if life is hiding all over the universe.

  • Ten minutes after launch, users will realize the app forbids them from selling their Tesla stock.

  • The Right is so upset that they're not actually going to be purged in a left-wing revolution. It destroys them inside, knowing they don't get to martyr themselves in a blaze of glory. So they just die of Covid to trigger us instead.

  • "Greed is good. We should all be as self-interested as possible."

    "Okay, I greedily want Single Payer Healthcare. I selfishly want Public Housing."

    "...

    "

  • Man, you can get American conservatives to be terrified of anything.

  • "You're an idiot if you think Democrats can do anything." - Democrats, trying to win us over

  • You said Manchin wasn't a Democrat even though he is. What point did I miss?

  • Joe Manchin is literally a member of the Democratic Party, won the Democratic Primary for his seat with the majority of Democratic Party Primary voters voting for him.

    Your shit-ass party owns this monster.

  • Is Communism Syndrome what we're calling being trans now?

  • Let people not like things.
