I’m astonished this even got released. And for the people arguing that this is fantasy? Ok. Let’s talk about that.

We are mad that, as Jax says in the ending “getting woke” is more important than actual equality. Because, you see, many people aren’t interested in having a piece of the pie, THEY WANT THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING

Exactly. “The Holy Book says thou shalt not put impure things into thy body.”

“We have decided “chemicals” are impure. Therefore, no vaccines.” 

According to the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, 12 percent of Sanders voters voted for Trump, but there’s no data on how many stayed home. It’s not an issue I’m interested in relitigating, ultimately.

But there are actually a bunch of prosperous cities, and only a limited number of migrants... But my prosperous Northern city could have easily accommodated thousands of folks, and there’s a severe labor shortage there, as well, so plenty of jobs.

To Refute #1: Yes it is. It is an absolute and complete medical emergency to bring a deadly disease that’s *enormously* contagious into public areas where those who legitimately cannot be vaccinated must also go.

I hear Wendy’s is hiring. 

It’s probably fouling things up. Unless the cars are full of Canadian Geese, in which case things are both foul and fowl. Also, run. 

Dropping your speaking voice by a full octave is a lot. Most people don’t have a vocal range wide enough to drop their standard speaking voice by a full octave and *then* account for the full range of dynamic inflection. That’s why she ‘bottoms out’ for lack of a better word.

Sure. But remember, taking that out on the developers is still wrong.

Concerta is still a stimulant. Adderall is still a stimulant. Ritalin is still a stimulant. The fact that they act to promote concentration does not mean they are not stimulants.

“supporting the coup in Venezuela. Did those corrupt fuckers forget who Elliott Abrams is? Did those corrupt warmongers forget what we did to Iraq?”

Are you referring to the 2018 attempt that the US didn’t support, or issues related to the re-election of Maduro, which has been widely condemned by international monitors…

I would argue you are misconstruing how the word “right” is intended to be applied in this context. No one seriously contemplates a system in which people are ordered at gunpoint to treat patients or enroll in medical school.

And that makes perfect sense.

Keza is arguing that it’s reasonable to hold on to the first impression, even after they changed it later and never went back to the first statement.

Are you aware of how the arrow of time works?

Keza: “I was told this in 2014.”
Shoeboxjeddy: “But in 2015, they said something different!”

Except private entrepreneurs  tinkering with the products of public research is pretty much exactly how breakthroughs have historically happened.

Not for nothing, but that’s exactly how I would have answered that question. In fact, I’ll answer it:
