@sardonicsmile @apopheniac ideally we can talk things out rationally and people can be reasonable. However, we live in a world of scarce resources where not everyone can have what they want, and what they want often comes at someone else's expense, and how do we allocate said resources and decide who gets what?

When all else fails, use violence.

@Tfmonkey on dating:

POV: TFM gives his feminist daughter dating advice after she asks why she can't find a good man.

If people could be responsible for themselves, no government would be necessary.

If people require government to be responsible for them, they will be ruled by those made responsible.

You cannot elect a government to be responsible for the people, while the people retain their authority. That is why democracy is a joke, and why it can only be maintained via deceit and illusion.

Responsibility and authority go together. To sever the two is to invite destruction and tyranny in equal measure.

@apopheniac I remember when there were multiple school shootings back to back, then a bunch of food processing plants burning down back to back. Now it's multiple train derailments back to back.

I guess it's easier for the media if these manufactured crisis are focused.

Seeing multiple train derailments happening all over the country makes me think that using the government to fuck over railway workers and force them to work without paid time off might have been something of a mistake.

This chart applies in more ways than you think.

@acnewberry @furgar What if we just took women's rights away to raise the birthrates?

*gets thrown out of window*

@mangeurdenuage in my experience, keto cheese chips are too expensive and a pain in the ass. Have you tried pork rinds? The barbeque and the chili cheese flavored ones are really good. They sell them at Sam's Club. They have zero carbohydrates.
