The average age in the Gaza Strip is 18. Do you think that might have anything to do with Hamas not acting “grown up”? What do you expect out of one million teenagers you locked in a cell?

I would argue that’s a corollary, not a discovery. It’s corollary to a subjective belief that life has value—one that I agree with, but that is by no means innately or objectively true.

Objective morality implies that morals are not invented or created but discovered. Whence do these discovered morals come? How can one test a moral theory and arrive at an answer as to its objective veracity? What is the scientific unit of goodness?

Conflating Israel and Jewishness is antisemitic, especially when Israel is abusive to Jewish populations they don’t like, like the mizrahim and the Beta Israel.

While I agree with you, you must recognize this is also true of almost every nation. Native American rights remain a universally ignored issue in American discourse, for example.

Capitalism. You mean capitalism. Biden is still subsidizing oil and endorsing the construction of new wells. Voting blue won’t save you.

I would need a 70% raise to be at market average for my position. Needless to say I’m interviewing.

Is there a reason you didn’t have time to read but you did have time to comment that you didn’t read and make yourself look like an asshole

Housecats aren’t native to North America at all, dude. ‘They’ve always been outside’ only applies to North Africa, where they come from.

This is called an ‘appeal to nature’ and it’s very misguided. By the same logic, humans enjoy dying in childbirth and hosting dozens of intestinal parasites.

Are you under the impression cats like fighting for territory and eating garbage?

Yeah, bedtimes are authoritarian and my mom making me eat vegetables is totally fascist

As an American, Trump is the first thing many of my European friends talk about

no. i don’t play games for fetish purposes.

I don’t think you need to worry about anyone else being mad.

Drugs helped me a lot. I never got much out of therapy (maybe I’m the asshole, but I think most of what I’m anxious about is very reasonable), but antidepressants just make me feel more like me. The come-up can be really rough, but once they’re established you start feeling more like a person and less like a Rube Goldberg machine of sensory torture.

This is how my anxiety manifests, especially the bit about not being able to tolerate the smell of food, and it’s really terrible. I never went quite as long as you, but I did survive on a saltine a day for a couple weeks. Godspeed finding a cause, I know it’s frustrating.

Do you realize that this is simply how human interaction works? Of fucking course she felt safer telling her story when other people were already telling theirs.

So you don’t have anything to say about the content of her statement, you’re just offended by her offering it when it’s relevant?

‘Scalloped’ means baked in milk or some other cream sauce. I don’t disagree with you, I’m just telling you. There’s no scallops in scalloped potatoes.

I am surprised you’ve never had scallops, though. They’re cheaper than crab. You can get a pound for like $10 at Kroger.
