I think he had a good grasp on consumer desires. Which seems to be really tough for the majority of people, perhaps business people in particular.

Oh god I didn’t even notice I was replying to you.

Gross, you’re the worst, most bad faith debater I’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to.

You don’t argue in any sense of data or fact, just shitty little retorts amounting to nothing more than “no, actually”.

Don’t bother replying, I’m blocking you across all instances until you get an education, maybe when you turn 18 or something.

Meat products are, per kilo, much more costly for their nutrient profiles compared with plant based alternatives. Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies. There’s a reason third world countries rely on plant based foods, because they’re objectively cheaper.

There are many cultural practises that we’ve left in the past. Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things. I can’t say it’s my culture to sacrifice children, even if it is.

I’d put convenience under the umbrella of pleasure. If we all lived our life based on convenience, people would drink drive, people wouldn’t care about consent, just because it’s easier doesn’t mean it’s right.

If my morality was based on whether it cause friction with my family, what weak morals I would have? “In this house, we say the N word!”, “okay yes sorry mum, here I go saying the n word again!” Like, stick up for what’s right, don’t crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect.

Plant based food is objectively cheaper, culture doesn’t permit amoral acts, convenience isn’t a valid reason to do wrong, and if mild social pressure from family is enough to cause one to act immoral, then those morals were pretty flimsy to begin with.

Why doesn’t your mother take a vitamin?

Can you… Provide some of those reasons?

Eating meat. It contributes 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gasses alone. And people do it just for pleasure. It’s mindboggling.

I’m luckily sensitive to most medications, and find good success with herbal stuff like valerian and passionflower, any of the GABA ones really. They don’t make me sleepy as much as they get rid of that little burning anxiety stress that keeps me awake.

It’s worth a shot for some people.

Sure, but if the OP is talking about “bad president” taking away rights, and the only right being infringed you’ve mentioned is immigrants getting deported, doesn’t every president have an immigration policy? Therefore isn’t every president infringing on said rights?

I just want people to be specific. Right wingers are so slimy and nebulous in their prose, avoiding all specifics to ensure they can’t get fact checked. If you’re gonna make fun of em, I just ask one to be specific.

Honest question, what inalienable rights are being taken away?

Oh god I want to gift ALL OF MY NEIGHBOURS BATTERY LEAF BLOWERS. I bought one, it’s amazing, and we’re about to go into autumn 🤢

I don’t care much about the supposed fidelity, but having a group of mates around each pick an album from my stack is a lot of fun.

It stops people from focusing too hard on the music and going “oh wait lemme queue up this track” etc.

Are you guys just generating insanely difficult code? I feel like 90% of all my code generation with o1 works first time? And if it doesn’t, I just let GPT know and it fixes it right then and there?

You know how when you get put under for anaesthesia, and you don’t notice the time you were gone? It’s like a cut in the tape of life.

What if death is like that, and BAM your consciousness re-emerges billions of years in the future the moment you die.

But your consciousness is alone. And in pitch black nothingness. Forever.

I hope my daughter gets to look up to women established in STEM fields.

Seems like a busted world where there’s more money in sex work than academia.

I hope everything you pirate gets stuck at 99% until the day you start seeding

Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it’s a terrible strain on the animator’s wrists.

My dad has this long running bit, that if I needed his help on something, he needed to go to the shop to get a “round tuit”. I remember asking what store he had to go to, and how much it cost, and being annoyed at how he hadn’t gotten a round tuit yet.

He must have thought I was really committed to the bit.

Wait what’s the joke

Tom Scott is insufferably uncharasmatic. Sure his content is excellent, but he’s stupidly unfunny, awkward to watch with other people on camera, and I imagine would be an absolute bore to talk to.
