  • You’re saying kids born because abortion wasn’t available are pieces of garbage. What the fuck. think about what you said.

    Since I was down voted into oblivion. I’ll reconsider your statement.

    Deep down Republicans believe that the only reason they’re here is that they weren’t aborted.

    So I guess that’s similar to conservatives thinking that the only way people can act morally is because they read it in a thousand year old book.

    I guess the logic checks out but all I could think about with a gut check was that kids who’s parents wanted to abort them but couldn’t probably ended up in a hostile environment.

    So to any young kids who get into this “I am intelligent therefore depressed.”

    I’ve been there and what I’ve found is that if you are like how I was. I falsely correlated analysis of the universe and the discovery of it’s harshness with how I was feeling and probably erroneously ignored my bias (because I was depressed) to focus on negative realizations.

    It was my caustic family environment, my lack of individual freedom, poor sleep, poor diet that was making me miserable.

    If you’re feeling this way you need to look into Mindfulness and why existence even in its brutally bleak appearance can be an enjoyable quiet morning listening to crickets as you wake up, or being aware of noisy air vent that sounds interesting, or even the curiosities of your own wandering mind.

    Our experience of existence is relative to our framing. Emotional intelligence is learning to side step the current and enjoy observing the river.









  • Florida here. I don’t say Coke for all soda just for a dark cola. But Coke is just the first brand I think of/want when it comes to Soda. Like the most ubiquitous.

    If I want a Root Beer I’m gonna ask for that. But I’d never fucking say Pop.

    I’d say Soda for the general.

    The problem isn’t that I want to be a centrist because I think it’s correct. It’s because this country is going to fucking shit with the deadlock on any kind of cooperation.

    Constantly volleying for further extremes correct or not is why we can’t get a budget approved, why even with the ACA it got stripped to fucking Bits when the next presidency swung around.

    The reality is you want to be bringing in more voters by being more palatable and not pushing them away by drawing a line in the sand for EVERY single issue. No I’m a better liberal! No I’m a better liberal look at me virtue signal.

    It’s fucking exhausting.






  • Morality is relative. Societal morality or my gene survival morality?

    There’s evolutionary benefits to being a Dave murderer psychopath that established enough dominance to be left alone

    Then social groups came along and a different part of our brain developed and they duke it out on what is “moral”.

    Religious people like to say “Where’s your moral compass?” But the truth is in our heads is the closest thing to morality this universe so far has ever seen.

    Considering the space rock we’re floating on doesn’t give a fuck about fairness. Even your housecat is going to eat your fucking face off the week you die.
