Never have I seen such blatant evidence that the news media is completely made up controlled opposition bullshit.

She didn’t just “die.” She was tortured for 40 hours and then murdered by anti-abortion death cultists.

It’s how they see themselves, bless their hearts. There’s one thing they’re right about, though. Hedgefundies and billionaire entrepreneurs are an unspeakable scourge on this society.

Ah yes, “freedom.”

Yep, I quit T-Mobile and switched to Mint last month for this exact reason. My price is now 1/4 what I was paying before, and everything else is exactly the same. Should’ve done this years ago.

Ahh, what wonderfully reductive nonsense. Let’s slap it on a picture of a tree.

We also don’t technically require that you have a steady supply of oxygen in your apartment, but I’m guessing you’d find it unreasonable if you woke up in a vacuum.

Do we even have a law that says landlords can’t heat your apartment to 100 degrees Fahrenheit? Or a law that specifically proscribes noise machines? Do we really have to specify every fucking thing or can people just be reasonable?

Except it does seem rather odd to keep a medicine from people whose lives it could save (obesity causes a lot more problems than diabetes), because someone somewhere might try to abuse it. Frankly, if you want to voluntarily abuse a drug, great. My interest is in relieving the suffering caused by obesity, not protecting people from the Darwin awards.

Imagine saying that “insulin should be expensive because some people use it for suicide and it has side-effects.”

What is this, mumble rap for science deniers? Just riffing this bullshit on the fly.

Florida was -200F.

Exactly, the closer you get to the equator, the colder it gets.

Science is strictly a social activity. You can’t have a social activity without the social component.

Again, fact-finding is not the same as science.

Psychopathy is a spectrum. It undermines your values, makes you indifferent to normative and empirical reality, and robs you of all compunction, until the only salient feature of life is your own ego.

Many of those you find confusing fall somewhere on that spectrum. It’s a grim diagnosis, but you can use morally obvious cases to determine how bad things are. Opinions on abortion are a litmus test, as are attitudes towards obviously cruel and unvirtuous people, such as Donald Trump and various other celebrities.

Two problems with that. First, you’re saying something like “the world is flat.” That’s not an opinion; it’s just wrong. Worse still, your “opinion” is literally the most popular take on drug addiction, informing all the moronic laws that cause so much unabated misery.

Seriously folks, an unpopular opinion is something like: “eating meat will be regarded in 100 years the same way as slavery.” That’s unpopular (and probably true). It’s also nonfactual, and therefore just an opinion.
