“do you guys have enough rope? here, let us give you some more”

where do you get all your polonium from?

not asking for any nefarious reason

wish I actually used Spotify, so I could boycott

and the original(s - they do two distinctly different versions) are both amazing, arguably better than this cover.

look up EDNASWAP - Torn for the original versions

except for all those times when it wasn’t…

but any further violence is excessive. obviously.

I actively try to avoid killing cockroaches - they’re useful to the ecosystem. Republicans, not so much.

I doubt I’d extend them the same courtesy.

I don’t strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

it took me a long time to realise that just because it has the word liberty (almost) in it, doesn’t mean it’s a left-wing idea.

some republicans are good people not awful to literally everyone

I definitely have BO, but I can’t smell my own, typically. however, I also just don’t find the smell of sweat/BO particularly offensive.

I’ve started using not an antiperspirant, but a substance that acts like a deodorant, because my partner is VERY sensitive to smells and mine apparently sets her off pretty badly.

but expecting people - not just many people, but a lot, an enormous number, at least a majority if not an overwhelming majorly - to spontaneous commit to a coordinated action despite widely differing philosophies, politics and life circumstances, is like expecting dissolved sugar to spontaneously re-crystallise back into a cube at the bottom of your cup.

plausible paths to change require organisation, and there are not very many examples of successful organisation that aren’t led from the top.

even worse: man-made horrors I comprehend only too well.

drastic social reform.

… just like everywhere else.

it’s going to be hard to get to 40k if we don’t keep counting through the 10s.

he’s not really one to talk… but he’s also, unfortunately, not wrong.

I think most species probably align themselves to either the galactic plane or prominent orbital plane of the local star system.

the “up” & “down” directions would be completely arbitrary, though. there’s no reason to think everone would decide on a standard for those.

and species without that certain sense of appropriateness, or an overt dedication to logic, would likely not bother with a standard orientation. and especially when in orbit over a planet, I think everyone would orient their “down” towards the surface.

not exactly what you’re asking, but banks and insurance companies are the majority of what I call “the beaurocracy of money”. they don’t produce anything of value, and are basically just a sinkhole for labour.

i… think I need this explained to me

need to put scratch marks on the wood

Right? If something has “100x less” something, does that mean it has 1%? 0.99%? Some other random figure?? What are you even trying to convey???
