Collars are for comfort. A fold of fabric feels better on your skin than a seam or a fabric edge.

Modern western society is already founded on the belief that nobody is inherently superior to anyone else. Now of course in practice this has not always been the case, and there still exist a lot of people who really don’t believe this is true. But the ethos is still there, and most people would tell you they believe in it.

To continue that, and to your second point, one of the biggest flaws in any system we create is that humans are not perfectly logical and rational actors. You can’t count on everyone always doing the right thing, even if they could all agree what “right” even means.

Not very well. At least not for large communities, or ones that want to live modern lives in the developed world.

Yes it’s quite possible to have small communities where everyone knows each other, then you can enforce rules through consensus and social pressure.

But it would be impossible to have large societies or to live in a modern developed world with no hierarchical structures.

The most sensible thing is to assume that he was Luke Lars until the events of ANH.

Any parent who says no is a bad parent and a bad person.

The correct number of guitars to own is n+1, with n being the number of currently owned guitars.

Weed can increase anxiety though.

Alcohol, now there’s your poison.

“Elections will be canceled” is a phrase being pushed by bots and foreign actors to increase apathy.

Repeating the sentiment is spreading propaganda for free and surrendering before the fight even happens. Don’t spread their propaganda! Elections happen because WE say they will!

The belly is a big, soft target. If you aim for center of mass there’s a good chance you hit a bone.

You don’t think more representation for minority groups is a good thing?

“All I can really do anymore is browse the Internet and maybe stream some music.”

“And that’s enough for me, old friend.”

Wouldn’t you rather have someone do the right thing for the wrong reason than not at all?

It’s all fun and games and cozy vibes until you get that ancient seed.

I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles.

The average consumer does not care about this. The biggest reasons for people to not buy a Switch 2 are 1) people don’t have money and 2) lack of major first-party games. I waited months until I found a MKW bundle for $450 at a black Friday sale.

Once we get the next 3D Mario or Zelda, you can bet they will sell a lot of consoles.

Bruh I’m 37 and strongly considering going back to finish my degree. No time like the present.

Well in theory with a big enough campfire it would work. So you weren’t entirely wrong.

Like people everywhere, most of us are pretty chill.

There’s a Calvin and Hobbes strip about this. I think it’s the run where their house was broken into and Hobbes was missing. Calvin came to the same realization and I remember it really sticking with me as a kid.

All laws are made up.
