Not necessarily. It can be something as simple as “My spiritual beliefs just happen to align with what I want to do already”. If you want to eat meat, it’s very tempting to find a “spiritual” reason for doing it. Nobody can question you; it’s just what you believe!

Russian…communists? Do you know what year it is?

Funny, that’s what I call people who parrot Democrat propaganda.

“Everybody who disagrees with me is a tankie!”

I live in a blue state, so using that logic, I shouldn’t vote at all. Voting for Trump or Biden is a waste of time, because the state will go blue regardless.

His base doesn’t think for themselves, and would vote for him if he killed their family in front of them.

If Biden killed your family in front of you, would you still vote for him?

I wish to God we had Bernie instead of Biden, but Bernie wouldn’t have won.

What convinced you of this?

so the best that can be done is vote for the least fucked up option and work to improve things.

Democrats were good at the first part, but not the second. I remember lots of Dems saying “Vote for Biden, and then we’ll hold his feet to the fire!” Well, there was no “holding his feet to the fire”, because that’s seen as enabling Trump.

The perfect candidate/option does not exist and never will

Yes, but there are candidates who are better, such as Jill Stein and Cornel West. You can’t vote for a perfect candidate, but you can vote for the best candidate.

What was the reason?

Let me lay brass tax here’s what I believe in.

A brass tax? I don’t think that would help.

Don’t care, still voting Stein.

Bitter foods are an acquired taste. Sweet foods are not. I remember reading somewhere that sweet foods become less attractive once you’ve grown up, but nothing about bitter foods becoming more attractive.

I always thought that people acquire a taste for coffee for the same reason they acquire a taste for beer: repeated exposure. Coffee is the cheapest caffeinated drink (at least in the US), and beer is the cheapest alcoholic drink. Both taste like ass the first time you drink them, but you put up with the taste because you want to get wired or drunk. After repeated exposure, some people grow to like the taste.

Because black coffee tastes even worse than Monster does. (And has a lot less caffeine.)

Occam’s Razor. There isn’t any evidence that he was murdered, so it makes sense to consider it a suicide.

What makes you think that Epstein was killed?

My pharmacy does this too. Also this: Receive a text that medication is ready. Go to pharmacy. “Sorry, it isn’t ready yet. Come back in half an hour.”

Why did you tell me it’s ready when it wasn’t ready?!?

Probably because they’re counting pills and throwing them in bottles for a lot of other people, too.

How do you define intelligence? What evidence do you have that intelligence is genetic?

You can have faith that your friend won’t cheat you, because based upon their previous actions they have proven trustworthy. That is faith backed up by logic.

It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)

It isn’t just a copypasta. As KnowYourMeme points out, it comes from Richard Stallman. Wikipedia has a good article about it here.

The term GNU/Linux is promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder Richard Stallman. Their reasoning is that the GNU project was the main contributor for not only many of the operating system components used in the subsequent development of modern “Linux” systems, but also the associated free software philosophy.

Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.

I’ve never seen this happen. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.

It’s like veganism. I’ve never met a militant vegan, but I’ve heard tons of people complain about them.

I think it’s an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.
