A quick search gives 7% for the proportion of religious wars of all wars, which makes the claim that religious wars killed the most people unlikely.

I hate religion as much as the next guy, but you don’t have to make shit up.

I kinda hate these types of comics. There really isn’t any reason why this should be a comic other than the writer’s medium of choice. The message gains nothing from the visual aspect. The comic could really have been improved if the author showed what the characters are talking about, but we just get a wall of text with a crudely drawn woman to represent the opposition. Also, the art has no appeal and is generally ugly.

Is own a grenade launcher for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four heathans break into me house. “Have at 'em lads” As I grab me scrumpeh and grenade launcher. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Quikie laucher on the second man, miss im entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the enemy spy. I have to resort to the loose canon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with cannonball, “Not one of yas going to survive this!” the double donk gibs two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Grab me bottle o’ scrumpeh and charge the last terrified dadie prancin’ with a head full of eyeballs. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular glass wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Ramps, escalators, tiles, and seating. There is nothing inherently not accessible about subways, we just choose not to make them accessible. When I was in Japan, there didn’t seem to be any issue preventing wheelchair users, old people, or blind people from using the train system. Escalators can be used by people in wheel chairs and old people (and presumably blind people too, but I’m not sure.) There were tactile tiles in the floor to guide the blind, and there was plenty of seating specifically dedicated to old people, disabled people, and pregnant people. There were also wheelchair accessible cars on every train. As far as I could tell, it seemed just as accessible and easy to use for them as anyone else. (Also elevators were only usually kept open for the people who needed them)

Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that…

But, isn’t that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I’m not being facetious, genuinely curious.

I like Will Wood, his stuff has been described as “evil jazz”, but it ranges from calm and soothing singer-songwriter type stuff to a full upbeat jazz band with chaotic composition and arrangement. I find his lyrics insightful, but they are also often quite abstract.

Cute girls doing cute things have some nice tracks, but many of them feel a bit the same-y.

The Vienna Clarinet Collection has great covers of classic clarinet songs, but classical and jazz.

I couldn’t choose one, so here are a few jazz bands I like: Francis Coppieters, Loftys Comet, T-Square, Micheal Lowerstern, Archie Shepp, Sons of Kemet, and Mansur Brown

If it works, sell or donate it. If it doesn’t work, you can see if it is worth repairing. If it’s not, recycle it. You can check on your municipality’s website on their waste management page to see if they recycle electronics.

If you do sell, donate, or recycle, make sure there is no data on the drives that you would miss, then wipe it. If you plan on recycling, you can take out the drive and destroy it. Magnets and paper shredders are helpful.

Are ya a smart fella, of a fart smella?

This talking point doesn’t make sense to me because feminine and masculine voices sound different, so it would make sense that some aspects maybe annoying one a feminine voice and not a masculine voice, and vice versa. Also, I don’t think that some of the source of annoyance comes from the voice itself, but it’s cultural association. The reason why it is so annoying to me is because I associate it with vanity and celebrity worship (probably because of the Kardashians, couldn’t tell you which one as I try to avoid them at all costs).

I don’t count survival necessities like air and water as addictive substances.

That’s what Big WaterTM wants you to think

I’m currently taking a class about this (kinda). The current system, which is, in the states, neoliberal capitalism (redundancy for clarity) encourages people to act immorally, or more accurately under a set of morals that justifies those actions. A different system can encourage a different set of actions to get success, and a different set of morals to justify those actions. This is a large part of politics. The other part is praxis, or getting that in place. I’m not going to share the set of theory I believe in, but rather common ways people try to impose their desired version of society.

One way is through the current system, even if you want to completely change it. This is what the class I am talking about. You identify who has power, why they act the way they do, and how you can get them to enact your policies, or at least gain power yourself. This method falls under a lot of criticism, as it stands to reason that a system built by those in power cannot overthrow them. You can’t use the master’s tools against him.

The other way is revolution, but that has its own problems. It is hard to convince people to completely change everything, and when it does happen, it often happens in the best way possible for those who have power. It also isn’t any more moral than the other options, but that is the nature of changing an immoral system. Welcome to politics.

Disclaimer: I’m by no means an expert, as I am just getting into political theory, both in my own studies and formal education.

I’m as oblivious as a brick, but people around me say I’m intelligent, and I get good grades in school, so I must be good at pretending to be smart at least. I can’t say if I am actually intelligent in any way. It is kind of hard to tell without being someone’s too, if that makes sense.
