OP clearly wasn’t trying to fool anyone or spread disinformation, it’s a meme and you losers are in here demanding a better bibliography.

Providing a better bibliography, in case anyone else wants it.

Tbh, I used that phrasing specifically because you were snippy about someone else making a claim based on their own experience and I was trying to prod you about the evidence you’re using.

When people kill each other “for no reason,” there’s often still a reason (though not an excuse)- territory in the case of gang or murder of romantic partners, protection or survivor’s benefits for your own family for soldiers killing in war, or people accidentally letting a killer instinct loose during play for people who get into brawls or similar. Even horrific crimes like genocide are committed out of a dual protective of kin/and aggressive of outsiders instinct.

The Wikipedia lists possible reasons, but we don’t actually know why animals do this when it’s actively harmful to them yet.

I don’t see how that supports that humans are one of a few species that kills for no reason, if we know that other animals kill in scenarios where it hurts them and we don’t actually commonly kill each other for no reason.

You might not, but I do 🤷

I don’t like chimps, but bonobos and gorillas are also very chill

I don’t know where you saw that fact being presented, but surplus killing has long been documented in many species, including those who don’t make caches for winter.

Portuguese doesn’t really have a tilde, but that’s what the h following an n (or an L) is there to indicate

Is it “hate” to think a platform sucks?

My mom died when I was in middle school. She was the taskmaster parent and my dad treated me basically like a roommate, so I was way more independent in high school and beyond than I would have been if she had lived. I see the ghost of the timeline in which things were different. I think that happens for any huge changes in life.

I’m an immigrant in Germany and moved here about a decade after I studied abroad here. I don’t think I would have been allowed/able to study abroad, especially under the circumstances (I failed German, after getting a 95 and a 98 on the midterm and final, respectively, because I didn’t do the homework), so I don’t think I would have been able to come here and become a German as a second language teacher without prior immersion. My life would look very different, and I’d probably be leaning into my Spanish a lot more to try to emigrate to a Spanish speaking country, if I were even thinking about leaving.

My mom was a republican, but I don’t know if she would have followed my dad down the Fox News wormhole or if she would have pulled him out of it. I think if she snapped out of it, but couldn’t snap him out of the maga hypnosis, she might have left him, which would probably have set my dad on a very unpleasant path.

Many leftists started out as liberals, it makes sense they’d believe others could also change.

-signed, a vegan married to a butcher, so don’t listen to me lol (at least he’s a leftist)

I guess, but people post actual links to things purchasable on Amazon without getting downvoted on significantly more anti capitalist servers than sh.itjust.works all the time. It was also +2/-2 at the time I commented, so it seemed like more of a trend.

That said, check out their profile, their comments rarely register and are heavily downvoted all over the place. I suspect the user has some history and people look for reasons to downvote. It doesn’t matter, but it feels catty and isolating, so I wanted to say something in support.

lol, why would two people downvote this perfectly relevant link?

I mean, depending on the drugs, this is not necessarily the worst idea. Sending acid tabs seems pretty concealable, and the spores of psychedelic mushrooms are not illegal to purchase. You could probably even send pills, if you put them in a hard candy/breath mint container as part of a larger and innocuous care package.

Like, it’s definitely better not to risk it, but this could be done in a discreet manner. I’m guessing he got poorly sealed and smelly weed though.

They raided his house because they thought for some reason he had a bunch of kidnapping victims there

It was wrong and there were other ways to get you to be less of an incorrigible little fucker that wouldn’t have hurt you so much.

I really want to see the cross examination

Something about a land war in Asia…

It wouldn’t compel me to hurt people, but I definitely get more into kinks the more time I spend with them (to a point). Violence in media has never had a noticeable effect on me though.

It’s tough, because I don’t want to give him or the American justice system the benefit of the doubt, but I really hate the misrepresentation of this in the media. Charging someone with treason doesn’t mean they’ll be imprisoned or executed, it means they’ll be put on trial. If this story had addressed the potential for the president to bias the country against these reporters by calling personally for them to be charged with treason, I would be a lot less annoyed by the headline, but it’s inaccurate and they didn’t put any actual investigation into this piece.

It might be splitting hairs, but I really do wish for exhaustive Nuremberg style trials when I call this regime criminal, treasonous, and genocidal. I wouldn’t mourn if a few of them didn’t make it to trial, but I don’t want them to be able to take their secrets to the grave en masse.

I’m calling it as a smooth sharks situation
