Playboy models were hotter back in the sixties and early seventies, before cocaine, implants, and bleach blonde hair became the norm.
Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it. Wet literally means “covered in or consisting of liquid,” and yet everyone seems to think water can’t be wet just because it also makes other things wet, which it does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t itself wet
Seems you added a word to the definition that just so happens to be the one word your entire argument rests on.
Isn’t all the water below the surface layer covered with a liquid?
I can’t think of a compelling reason to treat the water on the surface as a distinct entity, though.
Broken link for me, right wing boomer

The purpose of life is to maximise pleasure and anyone yapping against that is either trying to control you or still hasn’t deprogrammed from puritan cultural influence.
That sounds a lot like utilitarianism, which is historically left leaning.
The only caveat I’d add is that it’s long term pleasure so you don’t fall into local maximums. A heroin addiction is a great way to maximize pleasure short term.
I feel that is implicit on maximising pleasure. To have little treats often, while also keeping yourself alive so you can have more little treats.
If I died tomorrow from an OD I would not have maximised pleasure in my life. Because I would have ended it early.
But if I lived constantly denying myself every single pleasure and creature comfort because ‘I need to earn it’, I would also not be maximising pleasure in my life.
You feel it’s implicit in the wording, but that’s just your interpretation of the phrase, which is why it’s important to specify.

i think it’s possible to have too many buttholes. like, from a functional standpoint. it’s probably super uncomfortable.
Or what if it just spreads the load, reducing strain on each butthole, making the experience better
But I think there’s a maximum number of comfortable butt holes. 2 sounds good while 200 doesnt
3 is too many is all i know. i was part of some… experiments.
Demanding butthole conformity is a classic argument of the right.
i mean i guess you could read it that way. i should probably think of a better way to word that when i’m less tired
It’s possible to have too many buttholes but that’s a subjective thing and doesn’t matter
women should have the right to kill their rapists without ever seeing a day in jail

why limit to women?
-
where’s the due process?
-
wouldn’t this open an avenue for getting away with murder using rape as an excuse and therefore also degrading the severity of actual rape cases?

This is absolutely a right wing take, tons of libertarians would agree with this
I don’t think that’s a position I’d classify as left… Curious as to your reasoning.
Why limit that to “their.”
because it only makes sense in a self-defense situation
Why limit that to women?
Rapist just shows up as PVE for anyone in their vicinity? Not a bad idea.
We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.
Eagles could work too.
All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.
Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.
Being someone that thinks all noisy motorcycles should be banded, I think these are neither left or right, just wrong. Make them electric bikes.
Chain drive electrics are fine, if a tad boring, but they currently lack range.
Also smaller motorbikes aren’t loud, just ban loud exhaust.
Mountain lions cannot catch cats and dogs easily. Also, plenty of people would straight up murder mountain lion with a gun or their car to save a dog or cat.
Catch, Neuter, Release diminishes wild cat populations dramatically over just a couple generations, and it doesn’t involve having to facilitate their deaths.
Edit: I am a fan of the motorcycle idea. We should make sure they’re electric to cut down on their driving volume.
i was gonna say, my favorite vehicles i’ve owned goes in order: my etrike, the hot red turbocharged 90s sportscar i drove in college, the late 80s nissan convertible with the popup headlights i learned to drive in, the hybrid we got right now, all the rest, and then that piece of shit barely worked had a door held on with duct tape and those awful automatic seatbelts but these made a RUHRUHRUH sound because they didn’t retract all the way when you got out and it had a leaky radiator that the dude who owned it before me thought you could fix by cracking an egg into it fucking garbage 94 Ford Tempo. It was Blue.
which is to say i’m a big fan of the motorcycle idea or just ebikes
Come to vietnam. Outside of HCMC and Hanoi, where there are so many bikes they recreate the issues with cars, the freedom and flexibility of 90%+ of the population using motorbikes is good for your soul. The emissions of 8 million 10 year old bikes is bad for your lungs tho.
China is kinda ahead in that they have both bikes, ebikes/scooters, and public transit, but theres way more cars.
oh, i don’t need to visit vietnam for that, i live near (and used to live in) a college town with about three times as many bicycles as cars. only time we got in the car was to leave town.
I’m not exaggerating about seeing 10+ bikes for every car in some locations. https://vietnamnews.vn/economy/1690616/only-nine-per-cent-of-households-in-viet-nam-own-a-car.html
The important part isn’t that you have the bike, its that very few people use cars, so there streets have the capacity to transport hundreds a minute, a dozen people can park in front of a 15 foot wide shop.
that sounds like the main bike corridor of this town, yeah. only place in the state i know of where police take the laws around bikes like helmets and lights at night seriously.
Cougars absolutely can and do eat cats and dogs; their natural prey is primarily deer but they’ll absolutely hunt smaller animals if given the opportunity. It’s also not unheard of for them to stalk children and even adults.
It is a hoax that feral and domesticated cats are destroying the environment in places where they have predators, which is almost everywhere except Australia and some isolated islands. Cats live near humans precisely because they have so many predators in the wild.
The only disagreement I have about the bikes is that 200cc is a bit high. But smaller? Yeah probably fine.
Ok, 156cc, i was just thinking a Honda winnerx or a yamaha exciter 155 is a little underpowered for short highway trips.

nah that’s actually right wing (in theory)
in reality, it’s left… the world is a weird place
I mean, people on the left generally aren’t against subsidizing transportation, the problem is with cars specifically. Their dominance is generally bad for society as a whole, but good for a few already very powerful people.

Right, racism and fascism.
Fucking duh.
racism?
hey look everybody it’s “islamophobia isn’t racism” but for white people 🙄
protip: the problem isn’t a given demographic because the problem is not people the problem is power.
further, all you’ve really done in that scenario is rearrange the fascist power dynamic. it’s still just fascism. you have a fascist position and you need to think on that.
Are you seriously, as a Blahaj user, going to say you can be racist against white people? What’s next, someone can be heterophobic or cisphobic? Misandry is real? Get outta here with this garbage.
“as a blahaj user” as a thinking and compassionate human being i’m categorically against revoking anyone’s rights. fuck off with your groupthink crap.
Bestie, whatever possible reason you have for thinking “racism against white people” is an erosion of white people’s civil rights, it is categorically, hilariously wrong. But you have a great day now alright! 💜
Are we forgetting how Irish people at some point got discriminated against by the US, being artificially labelled not white? Or transphobia, which occurs regardless of race (white, black, etc.)?
But indeed: the focus shouldn’t be on: who can and cannot be racist. Rather: on how we combat the rampant fascism and capitalism.
racism is the specific tool of racial supremacy used by white people (systematically, not individually) to oppress anyone who’s not in the in-group.
as you said, Irish people, when they were being discriminated against, weren’t seen as white. it’s not just about skin color.
so, given what racism is, how could anti-white racism exist? the only way it could happen is if non-white people gain power en masse, to the same extent that white people have power now, and start using the same system against whites. it’s fair to say, that’s far-fetched.
anti-white xenophobia certainly exists, but xenophobia is just the hatred based on any characteristic. you can be xenophobic to people with brown eyes. and if you are that, you’re certainly an asshole, but it’s not really gonna affect anyone’s life.
TL;DR anti-white racism makes as little sense as anti-straight homophobia. not even heterophobia; anti-straight homophobia
Or transphobia, which also occurs against white people?
What the fluff? Are you seriously a blahaj user, insinuating another blahaj user believes you can’t be transphobic against white trans people? Surely you’re trolling, right? RIGHT??
Clarified post, hope it’s clearer this way.
