@memeticsisyphus I think the pitbull discourse is bordering on hysterics but this is a point I actually agree on. If I'm going to bring an animal into my home, around my kids, I want to get a gentle breed and raise it as a puppy. Not some unknown quantity with a history I can't verify.
@fullStackRebel It's literally the exact same arguments that libs make against guns but with massive difference in scale. The bar for banning individual choice is so much higher than 40 deaths per year. Just punish the owners of aggressive dogs harshly.
@xwanyex Negative externalities alone are not a good pretense for restricting freedom when individual risk is so low. The flu kills more in a year than pitbulls have in the last century, but I doubt you'd want mandatory vaccine schedules or forced home confinement?
@estherzelda0514 Comes off as a bit greedy to me, the discourse around this is so autistic. If I've got a novelty slot machine that guests pay into I would see that money as disposable and belonging to whoever wins it, because that's fun and decent, I'm not trying to profit off my friends
@JeremiahDJohns It's not arbitrary, it's based on the sociopolitical views of your fan base. If you cater to fingerwagging redditors you're gonna get a harsh reaction when you go against the dogma.
@T2Ohrd_blvd@drlcartman@Math_files The hypotenuse of the two right triangles that form the second square has a side length of 4, making the square easily constructable
@SirGeneralZ@xwanyex Being shot or getting the guillotine is actually a pretty humane way to execute people. You're dead before you can even process the pain, it's incredibly quick, and cheap!
@billybrizzle420 Liquid assets are worth more than illiquid assets. You know this already - you wouldn't work a job that paid you once a year, because money that you can use right now is more useful than money you can use later. It's a tradeoff.
@avidseries Why do you consistently say the most retarded thing possible? Like you try so hard to be centrist that you just make shit up so it all cancels out. The modern right is lacking in a lot of areas, this isn't one of them.
@BVitterbe88816@Howlingmutant0 This is the most retarded thing I've read today so thanks for that. I like symmetrical faces, you show me an extreme close up of a pretty girls nose I'm not thinking "wow that's so hot" and neither are you.
@FarmerGuyDan It's just 1/2 step down with the low E dropped another step, so leave your guitar in standard or 1/2 down and then you only need to drop the low E when you want to play it.
@Howlingmutant0@jamesxhorror These are the same people who claim punk/hardcore are inherently leftist as if those genres aren't also the go-to for white supremacist movements. They attach their identity to an aesthetic and then pretend it's exclusive to their shitty politics.
@rorynotsorry@cremieuxrecueil If you believe it is a disease then the drugs would only be a temporary fix, once people stop taking them they would eventually get fat again. They'd have to be on reta forever.
@SCHIZO_FREQ You could also make a decent pasta or rice dish in like 30 - 45 minutes and it'll last for days. Just get a protein, vegetables, a sauce for a source of healthy fat, and an optional carb base. Dirt cheap and impossible to screw up.
Liberal ideas sound great in theory, they don't work in practice. If your culture hinges on an idea of "live whatever lifestyle you want, it's all valid" then people choose to live in ways that are counterproductive to the society that everyone wants. Your social framework needs to have standards that sacrifice hedonistic pleasure for long term stability.
