Katanas are neat and making a big show of making GBS threads on the metallurgy and recounting how they were used by a bunch of huffy aristocrats for grudges and status symbols just proves that you were a big sword or japan nerd once too.

I think katanas are really cool, but not so much in an Exotic Nerd Fetish way so much as a cool engineering solution to the issue of only having lovely materials to work with.

As far as pandas go even if put under ideal conditions they still starve to death and refuse to gently caress. They were going extinct well before people got involved.

IIRC, they're a lot more willing to gently caress when they aren't in captivity. Maybe they just have some loving dignity.

lol jk pandas are terrible

People often respond altruistically in the wake of a crisis or tragedy with no clear selfish angle, even if removed from the situation. I would guess that altruism is just as hard coded into our biology as selfishness is, and that maybe there's some kind of evolutionary benefit to not always being a shithead.

Does "objectively" mean objectively, or "I have already decided that my opinion is irrefutable fact"?

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:

It means "objectively".

There is a [parental unit]. The composition can be whatever; 2 Dads, 2 Moms, 1 of each, single parent, whatever. The defining traits of the [parental unit] is that they:
a) want to provide for child/ren
and
b) have the capacity to provide for child/ren.

The parental unit decides they are going to add 1 child to their family. They have two options:

1. Create a new human
2. Adopt a child that needs a good home

For each additional child the [parental unit] wants to add to their family, they are presented with the same 2 options. Because at the current time the parental unit is going to add a single child to their family, these are mutually exclusive options. The opportunity cost of creating a new human is condemning a child to stay in the childcare system instead of providing them a loving home. This is objectively unethical.

If you don't agree then you either don't understand objectivity or have a seriously hosed up set of ethics.

And this doesn't even touch on the environmental impacts of overpopulation.

Whether or not my ethics are seriously hosed up is subjective.

But yeah what ^he^ said: anything that would have kept your parents from having you is a moral imperative so I guess I'm in.

If you're wrongly convicted of a crime, then commit murder in prison, and are exonerated for the original crime, they should have to let you go because you never would have murdered anybody in the first place if they hadn't locked you up.

That would require us as a society to admit that prison turns people into violent criminals and maybe doesn't work so well, and I can already hear a collective gasp from white suburbia on that.

I wonder what would happen if lesser animals could sense just how hosed up we are as a race. I suspect they would wipe us out. Or die laughing.

We are slightly higher evolved than monkeys. No wonder they rip our limbs/faces off.

As hosed up and stupid as we are, we are quite literally the best this planet has to offer.

Suck on that, Bonzo CAN YOU MAKE FIRE? BECAUSE I CAN
