Engage thrusters
  • And what lesson does this teach us?

    If you're going to Coruscant to train as a Jedi and there is an engagement party, you're probably gonna have a bad time.

    Just like if you pizza when you are supposed to French fry

  • Touch grass
  • Yeah, totally concede that Futurama is better and that Simpsons has really declined in quality.

    Leave out the steamed hams, nothing to see here.

    I couldn't get into Disenchanted, though I did try to stick it out through a good few episodes, just didn't click with me. Glad you enjoy it.

  • This is the way
  • I hear you.

    Counterpoint: animals may very well have thoughts on this, but we will likely never know because there is not a common ground for exchanging thoughts between [an overwhelming majority] of species.

    I can't quantify the number of times I've seen animals hunt others out of what amounts to an observed potential of either instinct or boredom: it may seem contrite, but domesticated cats hunting mice. They will play with mice, toy with them when the mice are clearly half-dead, and stop playing with them out of boredom when the mice can no longer move. Almost for sport. This is an observed behaviour that may be a byproduct of their domestication, but it gives credence to the fact that its not all for survival.

    I'm not justifying the hunting of animals for profit; I am in the camp of thought that its a horrible practice. The same goes for hunting endangered animals. However, to hunt animals for food is not an unjust practice. That's how we homo sapiens get a good amount of protein (though I do concede that there are also plenty of other ways to do so). It is historically encoded into human existence.

  • This is the way
  • Ooh, gatekeeping for the omnivores and carnivores.

    Guess I'm glad that checks notes cats, dogs, owls, cheetahs, and most of the Animal Kingdom don't have thoughts that are valid?
