All I know is you shouldn’t drink a ton of red gatorade midway through a night of heavy drinking.

When you start to throw up, your friends will assume you are vomiting blood and call an ambulance or possibly an exorcist.

Cool idea, but I spent a lot of time amongst people who believed in star signs when I was young.

They will say “Virgo: the most generous star sign, OMG that’s so me. I like, super generous”, despite the fact they have never given a cent in charity in their life.

None of it influenced their behaviour apart from the ‘lucky numbers’, which probably got them buying a few more lotto tickets.

No joke. What exactly don’t you understand?

People in the US have been burning carbon at an extraordinary rate since the Industrial Revolution, in the 1900s.

Still to this day they burn carbon at a rate of 14.44 tonnes per person per year.

Chinese people burn 8.85 tonnes per person per year.

They burn that carbon running cars, generating electicity, living their lives.

If we are measuring how much CO2 countries have contributed, China has decades of shitty energy production up on the US. They may be a ruthless authoritarian communist state, but they are the not the ones responsible for climate change.

Also, half of the emissions they create are producing your cheap plastic crap to be bought on Amazon

That’s exactly what I mean.

More importantly, the per capita rate for the US (and Australia and Canada etc) is far worse. You may hate the chinese government, but can you explain to me why Chinese people dont have the right to drive cars and run refrigerators, but people in the US do?

Fuck China, but when it comes to carbon emissions, they could burn coal for another 50 years and still not be as bad as the united states.

Makes me wonder if they are making contingencies for a Trump victory.

The US government could force Google to reveal if people are accessing abortions or contraception, or participating in protests.

You may not like it, but this is peak performance.

Actually, you probably would like it.

Isn’t it weird how every right-wing conspiracy video is available worldwide in one click, but left-wing comedy is always ‘not available in your region’?

Literally the biggest religion on earth, influencing the most powerful nations on earth.

Lots of weird guys say they are disgusted by female body hair.

Normal guys don’t give a shit.

The comic guy is… into it.

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

Why do you keep eating cat poo? It’s full of toxoplasmosis. It’s going to kill you. Why? WHY?

Oh sorry, that’s 3 questions.

We have these popular tropes of Spock and Sherlock Holmes getting it right by being logical, but the idea that pure logical thinking exists at all is a myth. All conscious thought occurs within a chemical and emotional context. Those emotional components are needed for thought to function at all.

The idea is explored in great detail in Descarte’s Error: Emotion, Reason and the human brain by Antonio Demasio, a very readable book about neuroscience.

Did you hear that they have learned how to eat cane toads?

Capitalism may be the biggest crisis in our lifetime, but from a geological time-frame its a self-resolving problem.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.
