It’s controversial in countries like Australia…

We need to standardise English, and we need to accept the US won in spelling.

Conversely, the US needs to accept they lost the metric/imperial war and start changing their shit to be less stupid.

What the fuck is 90 stone? How long is 2.5 miles? Pounds = lbs? How? (Okay US doesn’t use stone)

Don’t get me started on the “19 hamburgers is equal to 5 eagles” memes.

Also, everyone needs to accept the ISO date format.

YYYY-MM-DD

You’re objectively wrong if you think any other format is comparable.

Also also, you can keep using feet and inches for your own height as long as you’re between 5-6 feet.

Otherwise I get confused.

The Maginot Line wasn’t a waste. It did exactly what it was designed to do: Make the Germans go around to the west. The failure was political, in that the 2nd part of this defense was that France and Belgium would coordinate to set up a proper line in Belgium, but this never happened when Germany invaded.

And Chamberlain had no choice but to accept Hitlers claims on Sudetenland (part of then Czechoslovakia). Any other treaty would’ve required an enforcement mechanism, and Britain was in no shape or form ready for even a limited war at that time.

I both think people have a right to dignity, which by extension means they should have a say of how to live their lives. I also think that the general population shouldn’t vote. Against Democracy is a really good read if you haven’t read it.

For the record, I literally will drive people to the polls (since our current system creates better outcomes if more people vote) but I do really wish that most of them wouldn’t XD.

Everyone who can should live vegan. If you don’t live vegan and call yourselve an animal-lover, you’re a hypocrite.

Watching porn on Pornhub or any other large mainstream porn site (all owned by essentially a monopoly) is being complicit in child abuse and rape. They made money knowingly hosting CSAM and should not be allowed to be in business. Even the stuff that involves people who are of age is often trafficked Eastern European women.

COVID-19 was a lab leak.

Now let me be clear I think Fauci is a god damned saint and national hero for putting up with the shit he did. We don’t deserve someone like him.

William Shakespeare was a pseudonym adopted by Sir Francis Bacon whom was also Queen Elizabeth 1st’s son.

I don’t think Bin Laden was killed. The fast disposal of his “body” was suspect and his family was too wealthy.

Also, people over 75 should not vote or hold public office.

I don’t think children and teenagers should be (physically) allowed to transition to another gender. They should at the very least be 18, though I believe we should have people wait until brain matured, and a better understanding on consequences is built in.

I am talking about taking drugs, hormones, surgery.

Kids/teenagers/early adults have little to no understanding of definitive actions.

I am all for trans rights, I think transitioning leads to less suicides and happiness. And overall, my stance is if it makes you happy and doesn’t harm anyone, go for it.

The same applies to gambling, driving, or anything implies long term effects.

I would also love to see strong support systems put in place to accompany youth as a whole. The world is complex and its increasingly difficult to take it in, and navigate the absolute hurricane that is it.

I am, of course, open to be further educated on the matter. Openness and education is key to progress

No one should feel obligated to be an organ donor. And telling someone they must because they “aren’t using their body anymore” is fucked up. If a person has to be coerced, guilted or bullied into giving the “gift of life” they aren’t doing so freely. If they have to be manipulated into it then it’s not a gift. It’s theft. Nevermind the fact that corporations make big bank off the organ and tissue trade by piecemealing out donors and sellings the parts, but no one talks about THAT because lives are being saved.

(I’m not against organ donation. I just don’t like that we use manipulation tactics to procure body parts and that there isn’t transparency about who is profiting).

That religion is for gullible people.

A: America and many other nations will soon need to create economic systems from the ground up. Capitalism and the rules we have to govern it, are just inertia with bandaids being used to keep it from hurling itself over a cliff. Socialism, Autoism (AI), and other ism’s we don’t know, will start outright replacing what we knew. The process will be chaotic and painful.

B: The death penalty and quicker judgments should be a thing, at least for America. The wheels of justice are too slow - and explicit terrorists like ICE are allowed to roam freely. They should be rounded up and put to the rope. Should the good guys win a 2nd American Civil War, all members of ICE and MAGA should sway in the wind, so that their ideas and character are not passed down to future generations of humanity. The mistaken mercy granted to the Confederates and Nazis, should not be given to the Dogey.

C: Peter Monyleux’s best games are Magic Carpet 1 & 2.

D: AI is good, but we will need it to be publicly owned by society, freely available, and open-sourced to ensure that it remains that way. The social problems with AI largely stem from the wealthy exerting their influence over the poor, as they do in all things.

E: The hardware drought for RAM and GPUs will pass, and we will have much better hardware choices for our local gaming and AI.

Heterosexuality is not natural.

There is no moral way to raise a cat.

Either they live inside and live an entire life in a few thousand square feet at best for 16-20 years, or you let them outside to hunt and they kill tons of wildlife and are exposed to becoming roadkill/coyote food etc.

My personal dodge is to adopt old cats that have already been indoctrinated into inside life and who could never be let out anyway.
