I want to make sure I got the question right, because I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

Are you saying that you should be able to disagree about the science behind gender identity because you feel that the current definitions and standards were created by politics and not science and research?

Probably, and I don’t think anyone would take you seriously enough to even consider it. Not worth the risk.

Fine, go down there and be king.

As with most things, I assume religion was originally created with an intent to understand the world and to improve things for everyone. Ignorance reinforced the beliefs, and eventually someone figured out that they could use it as a tool to control people.

Have you been watching Supermarket Sweep?

Which of these costs more than $1: Jiffy Pop, Pledge, or Rice a Roni, the San Francisco treat?

I read this while taking a short break from Monster Sanctuary.

Some questions can still be shower thoughts, and I think this one fits the bill.

Imagine you’re washing your hair singing some song you haven’t heard in a long time and halfway through the song, you pause to really think about the lyrics and suddenly it hits you. “Is this song actually about X?!?”

Only one way to find out!

Advertising creates a presence. They don’t think any one ad is going to convince you to buy it, and they know that after watching the ad enough times, it’s not going to get any more convincing, but when you are in need of their services, you’ll be looking at their brand and a competitor, and odds are, if price and everything else are the same, you’ll buy the brand you recognize.

Cannabis!

Probably not. Most people would probably prefer having the option of getting a chicken sandwich over worrying about others being able to celebrate.

Wow. I knew he was a comedian and actor, but I didn’t know he literally played the president of Ukraine for 4 seasons!

Too bad we couldn’t have done the same and get Martin Sheen instead of Trump.

Plant a lot of colorful flowers outside your house if you want 2C-Bs.

If nobody’s talking about their gaming, how would you ever know how many people game?

Be brave enough to be open about it, and you might be surprised how many people will join you.

6-7! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I won’t argue with any of that, but I will point out that we’ve thought the end of the world was right around the corner hundreds of times in the past few thousand years, and we just keep going, so, I’m not going to make any assumptions about the end of the world, because 100% of those predictions have been proven false.

There will be more new technology next year, and if we avoid an apocalypse, there will be even more advances five, ten and fifty years from now.

I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, I’m just saying that claiming that technology peaked with the steam engine, when we live in a world where we can send messages across the globe in less than a second is just incorrect.

I agree with the sentiment, but I disagree that technology has “peaked”.

Technology constantly grows, and it’s moving faster now than ever. We won’t see the peak until society collapses and all the systems required to fuel that technology fall apart.

Then in heaven, I must be love!

This tells me that you are assuming everyone is cheating, and thus cheating is not only excusable, but necessary.

I disagree. Most people are not cheaters, and more cheating does not create fairness, just more assholes.

It’s seen as a problem for everyone.

If someone wins a sports tournament, and we later discover they had cheated, we don’t ask the other competitors why they weren’t smart enough or strong enough to cheat.
