I don't respect people who have a lot of money and hang out with other people who have a ton of money. I find them to have an extremely narrow world view and they are ignorant as hell.

I don't respect people who live paycheck to paycheck. I think they need to stop pissing away all that money they are getting from work on dumb poo poo.

Everyone has an extremely narrow world view. Even the ultra-woke people do even though they think they don't because they went on a peace corps trip one summer and/or went to Europe on vacation.

Diet soda is better than regular soda which is way too sweet. Even if I believed aspartame causes cancer (which I don't) my other bad habits will probably give me cancer sooner so whatever.

Yesterday's coffee is fine at room temp or reheated. Better with some ice cubes but I can take it or leave it. If you throw out yesterday's pot you suck and are a picky prissy little bitch.

Are you my dad? Because he does the same poo poo with coffee.

Room temperature coffee is absolutely disgusting. It has to be one of the extremes, hot or iced otherwise it's undrinkable to me.

e: also why would there be any left over coffee? Either drink it all the same day or make less.

Animals going extinct is literally meaningless in most situations and environmentalists anthropomorphize far too much.

The environment isn't alive, it doesn't care that there are now 2 species of frogs in the pond instead of 3. It wouldn't care if it was a lifeless hellscape. Other animals certainly don't care if they exist or not as they aren't sentient.

Extinction only matters in the context of how it affects humans. Like if a crop went extinct or some sort of fungus that does cool poo poo to your body. That's the sort of environmentalism we need to focus on.

Nobody wants to save the whales or frogs or whatever because they think the environment will be sad if we don't. People do get emotional about it because while it may not meet your bar for being "sentient" it is still life and preserving it when possible is a worthwhile thing.

You'd have to be a heartless moron to not prevent the extinction of a species if we are able to. Why wouldn't we? It's morally wrong to see that humanity is causing things to go extinct and not try and do something about it, no matter how cute or ugly or unintelligent the thing is. Unless it's the mosquito, in which case let those fuckers die forever.

The History Channel is better in its current form than it was when it was 24/7 WW2 documentaries. Pawn Stars was great when it started out (but is poo poo now that they devote over half of it to the made-up drama between rick/corey/chumlee etc), American Pickers is one of the most entertaining shows on TV, and filler shows like Rick's Restorations and Ax Men(if they still show that) are pretty good. I don't even care if it's all staged.

Poly people should be broadly accepted by society and allowed to marry in their triad or throuple or metamour or whatever so that hopefully they'll be less annoying to everyone else. It probably won't work.

I'm sure divorce lawyers would love this idea - at least one guaranteed divorce per "marriage" most likely within the first year or two, probably a double or more divorce. They could charge even more than normal since it would be a lot more complex to split things up after the divorce. At least, that would be true if poly people had money to pay their lawyer fees, which is pretty unlikely given the type of person that typically turns to that kind of lifestyle.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:

Making new babies is morally wrong. There are already too many existing people and there half a million kids in America alone that need adopting.

It's not really as long as you take care of it properly. Adopting isn't always as easy as popping by the baby store and picking out the best one. It's already hard enough for parents who want to adopt to get through the process, if you started forcing people to adopt instead of having their own kids it would be even worse.

If you want to save the world from overpopulation it's the older people that need to be culled, not new babies.

Yes but telling people they aren't allowed to have babies anymore until whatever arbitrary population level is reached would not go over much better than going around exterminating old people.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:

Okay?

I said it's ethically wrong to make new humans when existing humans need good families. You responded:


First bold: Creating new babies when existing babies exist would still be unethical
Second bold: Nonsensical. The process would get streamlined if there was an uptick in demand. Until the point where the demand of parents who want to adopt kids greatly exceed the supply of kids that need a good home. Which is the entire goal.
Third bold: Killing people is worse than slowing down the creation of new people

You're ignoring the fact that new babies come with a clean slate, and as unfortunate as it is many adopted kids, especially the ones that have been in the system for a while, come with a lot of baggage. Yes if there was more demand they wouldn't stay in as long eventually, but it's still a problem. Whether you think it's stupid or not, a lot of people want "their" kid, not just "a" kid and no matter how many examples you show them of adoptive families treating the kids as their own and having great relationships will never budge.

The point is it's a very simplistic "solution" to just say "just adopt instead of have your own kid" and it will never happen.

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.

I wish you'd go back in time and show this to your parents so this post would never be made.

Smirnoff ice and mikes hard lemonade etc are good but if you actually get drunk off of them exclusively it's not a good time. One of the worst nights (and days after) i can remember involved drinking at least 12 of those things and it was only eclipsed when four loko came out, something that is also very good in limited amounts.

Except the orange flavor. Every orange flavor thing is disgusting but orange four loko was especially vile. In the end you should just stick to liquor over all these extremely sugary drinks unless you want to take the express route to fat+diabetic.

Mormons are no worse than any other religion. They're certainly no worse than Muslims.

It's not a matter of being "good" or "bad", my point was about its legitimacy as a religion in the government's eyes. Mormons are generally good people but when you look at who founded the church and the bizarre (even for religious beliefs) things they believe/do, it gives off cult-ish vibes even if it doesn't formally meet the criteria of being a cult.

Porn does definitely do way too much zoomed-in stuff. Seeing the woman's face as she gets plowed does nothing for me, nor does seeing an ultra zoom of the guy's rear end in a top hat and ballsack flopping around.

Also that hissing noise guys do in porn is really annoying. Nobody does that to that extent in real sex, just stop it.

i agree, people who only exist in your head should not be allowed to have children.

I have a sister in law who fits that description pretty well. She flipped her poo poo when her 3 year old daughter said she wanted to be a princess when she grows up and is considering moving into the woods and homeschooling her so other parents' gender stereotypes will stop infecting her daughter's mind. It's rare for someone to be this insane but there's at least one case of it.

I think it's fine to not push stereotypes on your kids and let them decide what they like, but it's absurd to get angry when they decide on their own they like some of the more stereotypical/traditional stuff associated with their biological sex. It's like they can't/won't accept a normal kid since that's not "cool" anymore and want their own special snowflake they can post memes about on tumblr.
