nah people dont take environmentalists seriously b/c that shits scary and would require too much fundamental change of our system. vegans are not environmentalists, vegans are loving crazy people.

seriously though a good half or more of current self described environmentalists hold beliefs in active opposition to saving the environment, usually based on knowledge as of like the 60s and 70s.

vegans seem okay. people get crazy weird about people who's diets are different

vegans are bad because refusal to use any animal product whatsoever imposes undue ecological burden

vegans specifically go beyond just diet

man you're a cool dude fishmech, i like your posting a lot, and even more i like how people react to it. you too, other chat regulars.

i liked when someone was so angry they declared it made sense to say you live in boston if you live in providence, (literally the capital of a different state and like 40 miles away) just because he couldn't accept a sane definition of what a city is

hey fishmech, can i stack the 10% student advantage discount for amtrak with the 25% discount for buying a seat in the northeast corridor two weeks ahead of time? it's 52 each way boston-nyc with just the early reservation discount, which roundtrip is over three times the cost of a bus, but frankly i've taken enough buses to penn station that i hate them.


edit: i'm not good at this if i'm discussing trains but not star wars

just try scheduling the trip with the student discount selected in the dropdown

basically, a rich kid that ends up as a doctor will have ended up that way because doctoring is one of a relatively few permitted professions outside of capital-b Business for kids like that. they could also become lawyers (not sure how that's developing in america these days) or politicians, but won't find many rich people in engineering or doing apprenticeships. the wave of Big Tech is probably going to make software acceptable as well, but who knows with those nouveau-riche buggers

now i will cleverly run away and have another go at sleeping if i can

pretty sure bill gates' family counted as loving rich and he got into engineering for sure (and the family money sure helped with starting microsoft)

i've read someone who says he's attracted to girls that age describe it as "hebephilia"

to me, i just read it as "a pedophile with a thesaurus"

here's the thing about ephebophillia/hebephillia:

usually people who talk about that actively choose to seek out underage people. they're perfectly attracted to and capable of being attracted to people that loving won't put you in jail over, but no, they insist on being creepy and gross

like honestly it's worse than being a pedophile. pedophiles are usually intrinsically hosed up and just cant handle doing it with legit people.

saying ur an ephebophile instead of a pedophile is like saying "excuse me i'm not a murderer, i'm a murderer with malice aforethought"

Why do people want Bernie to actually win? Imo he'd be better staying in Congress to do things or at least give good filibusters

they want him to win because they think the president has dictatorial powers and obama just refused to use them (also probably only bush and obama are the only presidents they can actively remember).
