If creating new life and welcoming a new person into your world is “mundane”, or exploring new corners of this tiny world that we are confined to is not interesting to you, then you really gotta tell me about the mind-blowing stuff you’re doing every day that takes precedence.

For a real friend? Absolutely! I’ll hunt them down. For a coworker or loose acquaintance? I care a little less, but it’s still nice to see occasional baby photos and vacation pics.

Oh shit Zero just linked a dictionary, I am ruined! But sorry, no. One is not “ignorant” in a vacuum. One must always be ignorant TO something. There’s always so much we don’t know. Apparently you haven’t figured that out yet. Or maybe you have, Zero the All-Knowing. Why else would you be throwing so much shade to people who don’t know random bullshit about your own proximity? Anyway, bye forever, Star of the Universe.

Thanks for the clarification! Never heard of the place or the festival. Or the trump rally, for that matter. Also fuck OP for being an obnoxious prick to you in response to this useful clarification

It’s odd that you act like not knowing some California music festival is “ignorance”. What is the word for assuming everyone on earth gives a shit about what Americans are doing? I mean they only had their first asian headliner last year… I’m guessing the majority of humans have never heard of this shit.

Memes are nothing like logographs (“kanji”) linguistically speaking

Yes to that entire comment.

Ha! Gotta rip one as they’re listening to the wind in the trees.

All these physics answers! The funnest explanation for a kid is just that music is only there when you’re listening to it. If you don’t listen, there’s no music. When you start listening again, music comes back. Then ask if they can hear the music of the wind.

The consequences of not growing up with first you take the graham, then you take the mallow!

Really sums up small town life.

That’s the struggle for all of us: how do we deal with the weight of our choices, how do we build a life worth living?

You’re going to have to forge your own path. The only wrong answer is to do nothing.

duuude how many degrees celsius do you think one uranium wafer could heat one litre of water by??

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

So, what, did ChatGPT just rip this off wikipedia?

I’m guessing this site would be a dud on that day, since most of yall have about as much charisma as an old shoe.

That’s what I’m saying is going to be the hard part. Force the industry to gut themselves. Aren’t they the ones paying for our politicians careers? If it were that simple, why hasn’t it been done already?

Damn. That’s gonna be really hard to get to in the US. Several steps at least. I’m guessing the next step that we can work for is just guaranteeing universal coverage. But there’s gonna be bloody battles over just removing an entire industry from the US market in our lifetime. So I guess this problem is here to stay, even if we’re lucky enough to get guaranteed coverage regardless of employment.

Can someone explain how universal healthcare would solve this issue? It seems like an additional problem beyond the fact that prices are gouged based on insurance that not everyone has. On top of that bullshit, insurance does this stuff. What about universal health care, if implemented tomorrow in the US, would make it different?

(Side note: I love how I get all these downvotes for trying to learn more! What a fucking asshole, right? Yall are too used to trolls, grow up and humble yourselves. Learn to distinguish asking about how barriers work from advocating for those barriers to stay. Jesus fucking christ some of you are so much dumber than you realize you are.)
