Dear Canada,

Please don’t.

Sincerely,

It’s definitely a G-force thing. If I remember correctly from Mythbusters, the human limit is about 10 Gs before losing consciousness, 15 Gs before suffering internal organ damage, and about 20 Gs before instant death.

Yeah, Costco is surprisingly not scummy under its current leadership. They and Arizona are the only two I don’t have any major issues with.

Most modern means of electricity production involve creating heat in some way, then using that heat to boil water, creating steam. That steam is then used to turn a turbine, which generates electricity.

The premier of the next Herbie sequel, in which Herbie falls in love with a yellow Beetle of the same body style as the pictured limo.

I can read just fine. You’re asserting that climate change should be embraced because we’ll learn to “live with it.” I’m pointing out that you’re ignoring a giant mountain of evidence that says the best case scenario is that ten percent of our species survives. So, if we’re understanding each other correctly, ninety percent of humans dying is the “new normal” you’re saying we should be cool with, and I’m not cool with that.

I just realized you’re from .ml. Please block me, I can’t stand you assholes anyway.

Ok then, it sounds like you think the only way to improve society is to replace its members with ones who are “more sensible,” as defined by you. Sorry, but I’m not sure how to help you with that one either.

You’re right, capitalism won’t make the Earth completely uninhabitable. Many mass extinction events have occurred in our planet’s past, and life has always eventually recovered (obviously).

However, capitalism will destroy our planet’s ability to sustain our society, and eventually our species, and it is doing so at an alarming rate. To disagree, at this point, is to ignore an amout of scientific evidence so substantial, it amounts similarly to denying the Earth is round.

It sounds like you’re saying the only way to better a society is to replace all its members with ones who already agree with you. If so, I’m not real sure how to help you. Good luck with that.

Lottery winnings are paid out from a pool of money that’s filled by ticket purchases; every dollar won comes from the pocket of someone who bought a ticket and lost, after the lottery company takes their cut. Even if the winners aren’t exploiting the losers directly, the system itself is exploitative, and any winnings are derived from that exploitation. As the old saying goes, “the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.”

No clue, actually. I know you can sort based on votes, but I’ve never thought about how the main feed works. I’ll have to look it up later, if I can remember

On Reddit, the algorithm that determines which posts appear on the main page is heavily influenced by the number of up/down votes for the post and its comments.

That’s because it’s morally justified to prioritize the needs of many over the needs of a few.

Psychopaths and sociopaths who dehumanize others deserve to be dehumanized in return. Why should you owe them something they won’t offer you in return?

Have you considered the possibility that only evil people are capable of acquiring that much power and wealth because that much power and wealth is only possible by evil means?

Climate change goes beyond killing each other; it’s killing our planet’s ability to sustain our species.

They have bunkers, they have stockpiles of food and medicine, and they have staff to maintain it all. They fully believe they have the means and resources to insulate themselves from all consequences.
