"...the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them."

—Thomas Ligotti, Mad Night Of Atonement

  • Pirate "services"?

  • How to play?

  • This stuff just gets more terrifying by the day.

    Are there democrats doing this sort of violent threats a lot? Do I miss those news stories because I am on Lemmy??

  • He needs to go outside and touch butt.

  • Do consumers have a responsibility to pay for electricity?

    Existence was a mistake.

  • Yes. With what money?

    People think it easy to just pick up and move someplace far.

  • I didn’t come here. I was oozed out of another human creature.

  • Existence was a mistake.

  • Yes. But not for a long time.

  • I can believe it. Easily. No problem at all.

  • You’re opinion is not an obvious fact. My opinion is not an obvious fact.

    And no, I do not believe that. But many people do. And it’s all, just opinions. Just the opinions of of bunch of hapless great apes with too much consciousness.

    There are few obvious, objective facts that can be discerned by human beings. And the few that can be, are not known by all. As a matter of fact human beings know very little about reality. Including the smartest of us.

    Almost all of us are deeply ignorant and just cannot know much about reality. Yes, I include myself. But I don’t fool myself with thinking that how human apes run their affairs is anything other than preferences.

  • So they are not afraid to do their job. The police need to have the freedom to do their job most efficiently and effectively.

  • Nothing is horrible, but thinking makes it so.

    Humans still do most of all these “horrible” actions. We have not changed. Some of us just are more empathetic and compassionate. Like we have always been.

  • Do we decide? We have already decided. That is my point. I reaffirm nothing. I only say, the word “murder” doesn’t apply.

    The case has been decided, that non-human animal suffering is just not important. Not to the vast majority.

    Hell, we can’t even agree that human suffering matters.

  • How do you know? You don’t even know my personal views.

  • They want to vote for him because they agree with him.

    It is not baffling in the least.
