  • I think it’s a bad idea. It sets the standard that your house is her house, which it isn’t. Furthermore, I believe there are legal issues if she stays there long enough (e.g. not being able to evict her very quickly if you want to). Furthermore, it disincentivizes your son from finding his own place when he’s old enough.

    Also, your son’s girlfriend should not be spending the majority of nights over at your house at her age. I would encourage them to find income and their own housing if they’re that serious about living together.

  • What's your opinion on divisive topics furthering working class division?

    Jump

  • It’s the working class’ fault. They divide themselves only because they fall for these arguments that x-topic is more important than class issues. The distractions the elite utilize are not sophisticated. We fall for them because we’re dumb.

    So, are you ready to go back to the past? :3

  • What was your number one favorite website 'back in the day', that is now defunct?

    Jump

  • I hear anything is possible at that website! Anything at all! The infinite is possible! The unattainable is unknown!

  • I’ve had fish and chips in both the U.K. and the U.S. No offense to the Brits, but it’s better in the U.S., because they use this thing called “seasoning.” The only thing I prefer about the U.K. version is the paper cone the chips come in.

  • Do you ever go out, and while you're out, you think, ‘this is exactly why I don't go out’?

    Jump

  • Only if I wind up around a lot of other people. People’s behavior in crowds and public transport tends to piss me off to an irrational degree.

  • How happy are you with your goverment?

  • In the U.S., the federal government is obviously bad, but I’m honestly more concerned about the voting populace that elected it. They got so desperate and fed up with both parties they voted for the strong man that promised them he could rewind time, and apparently didn’t have the basic level of empathy and psychological wherewithal to see him for what he is: a pathologically narcissistic conman.

    The Trump administration is a problem, but it’s not the problem. The problem is that both Republicans and Democrats are so dislikable as political parties that enough people are so fed up with them that they’ll vote for someone like Trump instead. That’s just really sad.

  • There’s some precedent for it in octopi. They have “distributed” intelligence, where each arm has a dedicated nerve cluster “brain” that controls it.

  • The stigma of being a feminine male has left me broken, dysfunctional, and afraid to leave home. How can I get past my fear?

  • Not trying to dismiss you here at all, but my genuine advice is to get some therapy and not take advice about serious stuff like this from strangers online.

  • What gives you hope?

    Jump

  • Yes, there are certainly good things to come of it, I never denied that. But we’re also the cause of the latest mass extinction event on the planet, so there’s that too. I’d call that “mixed results at best.”

  • What gives you hope?

    Jump

  • Others ITT have already mentioned people as a source of hope. For me, this is something of a paradox, as I’m fairly misanthropic. I believe most people are—on balance—good or at least prosocial. They want to get along with others and not cause harm. However, I also think we’re inherently tribal and self-centered. Our capacity for empathy within our closest social circles is quite high, but outside of them it barely exists. We tend to make good choices when it comes to those we know, but beyond that we tend to be fairly apathetic and callous.

    So, I am hopeful based on people’s desire to be good and make the world a better place for all. But our historical record demonstrates a failure pattern at scale that is anything but inspiring. Overall, I think we tend to hit at the middle of the road or slightly below it. I see the history of human civilization like a corkscrew: progress is made, but only very slowly and through many repetitions of past mistakes.

    Ultimately, I don’t have much hope. Humans perform best in small groups; in large ones (10,000+ people) we splinter and start treating each other very poorly. We evolved to function in small groups of just a few families. When we settled down and started developing our civilization (only 15,000 years ago—no time for evolution to change us), we struck out into territory we were not prepared for. Human civilization is effectively an experiment, and I would argue it’s returned mixed results at best.

    EDIT: I also think one of the chief problems with us as a species is that we are innately myopic. That is to say, we don’t truly recognize problems until they start to affect us directly. We had all the information we needed to predict the impacts of human-driven climate change in the 1950s, if not earlier. But people trying to draw attention to them were dismissed as alarmists. Only when we began truly witnessing the impacts around the turn of the century did we acknowledge the problem and start acting on it. I think the same will be true for AI, but much worse. We intellectually understand the threats that AI poses to our species, but won’t start acting on them until they actually start to take effect, and by that point, it will be too late.

  • Veteran Regrets Donald Trump Vote After Wife With Green Card Detained

  • Oh, I’m fuckin’ stealin’ that, thanks. Yoink!

  • People in this School District voted for Trump to get rid of the Department of Education. Now, they fear losing school funding. "Please don't take away our funding. We can't function without it"

  • It’s unfortunately not that simple. The bulk of America’s farmland is in red states, so blue states on their own wouldn’t be able to feed their populations. Plus, red states tend not to have the biggest trade cities in the country, so they’d be choked in trade on their own. Also, all states break down into blue and red counties. Basically, if you’re a rural county, you tend to be red, and if you’re an urban or sub-urban county, you tend to be blue. So, even red states have plenty of democrats in them and vice versa.

  • Why should they have to what? I don’t think anyone should have to do anything because of my opinion. Is that the best you’ve got when it comes to a counter argument? I don’t even know what you’re referring to. Come at me with better slop than this.
