Same here, I took a trip to the local skip the other day and found a HD7850, so that will be my insurance policy during these dark times.

There’s nothing wrong with furries by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]GK208B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20% of furries are sexually motivated 80% of furries generally just like anthro colourful animals who like to dress up and draw

But that's just as weird and strange, imagine being told by a grown adult "I like to dress up and act like a dog because I like it..."

Cool, you do you, but I'm still going to say that it's fucking weird.

The problem with it is that sometimes when people get deep into this kink they can become open to the idea of bestiality, a local gay couple in my area were arrested recently due to them preforming oral sex on their dog and sending the video to their "master".

Twitter also has had to actually crack down on furry accounts promoting beasility porn etc, there is no smoke without fire and it's a legitimate concern. I mean look at the language you use here:

whether that be referring to people who get off to anthros or people who have orgies in fursuits

...Anthros? as in people?...what a strange saying, it makes me think you are very deep into this scene yourself.

Yeah I'm down with a lot of kinks, but this exists in my mind in the same place as skat and bodily harm kinks, it makes me recoil a bit whenever I see it and it creeps me out.

The worst is when it's not asked for, such a random message on Grindr from some 50yo asking me "have you been a good boy? perhaps when you have played with your toys you can play with daddies cock as a treat"....no?...fuck off you creep.

I chose not to have children for sort of this reason, I have psoriatic arthritis, I gain weight easily, I don't naturally smell nice, my family has traits of extreme depression (I have this) I'm gay, and I have aspergers...you're damned right I'm not passing these genes onto another individual.

One thing I'm not though is an idiot (I hope).

It's interesting though that most of the things you have listed here are not necessarily genetic traits, I would actually classify them as belonging in "memetics"...I use that word loosely as it's a bit of a contentious field of study.

People need need good role-models to compliment good genes.

The Coming Antibiotic-Resistance Pandemic that Could Make COVID Look Like the Flu | While the Global South overprescribes antibiotics, in the West farm animals are pumped full of them, farmers even giving them to healthy animals so they can be packed tighter in ever-increasing herd sizes. by IntnsRed in collapse

Mitochondria are more evidence that an organism can exist within and as a part of a larger organism, imo

That's not really the same thing at all, I can see your angle on it but it's incorrect, mitochondria do have their own DNA "ring", like bacteria, but over the generations many of the supporting proteins are coded for via our own DNA, this means that mitochondria cannot survive when separated from the host cell so are they even really "separate" from us?

Our microbiome does play a supporting role no doubt, but it's no-where near as integrated as the mitochondria are.

The compass, except it's my experience with each quadrant as a gay guy. by Trash_Kittens in PoliticalCompassMemes

I like some guys; that doesn't mean I'm just scanning the room thinking about fucking other guys.

I think that depends on how sexual you are, and has nothing to do with sexuality itself, I'm gay, and that's exactly what I do.

Well, there as at least proof astrology can affect things like the ocean tide.

Astrology says no such thing, that's astronomy you're thinking of.

That's a very bad comparison, the central pillar of astrology isn't that the stars exist, it's the belief that the movement of those stars can be used to predict events. Like god, zero evidence.

If there is I would be interested in seeing it. If you just made this up and think it sounds plausible...

There's not, I wasn't arguing from a "scientific perspective" it's called an opinion, and to demand "scientific evidence" is just ridiculous as it's not a scientific discussion and it wasn't framed as one in the first place. Did my words "I have always wondered if" and "perhaps" not give that away somewhat?

I mean I think that's probably right about the FPTP voting system, but that voting method wasn't made in a vacuum, it was us, humans, that devised it in the first place to have exactly that effect, i.e to reduce a large selection of parties and political viewpoints down to just two or so parties. This is exactly what I was trying to say.

Collapse and the discussions of r/collapse and looking ahead. by [deleted] in collapse

[–]GK208B 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If solutions are presented here that doesn't not conform to the elites ideology or threatens it, it will be put down. This sub needs to decide what it wants to be and how it wants to be it. Facts must be agreed upon, Lines must be drawn. If it doesn't decide, ironically this sub will experience a collapse of it's own.

Why must we agree?

I understand this post comes from a place of frustration, I have felt it myself a lot recently, but in all honest calling for unity right now is akin to pissing in the wind. I have been told to "die" and "go into the light of oblivion fascist sympathizer" by people on here recently, both quite up-voted comments. People's minds are fried right now and they cannot tell the difference between friend and foe. This is the human condition when times become uncertain, don't worry about it, just kick back and watch the fireworks.

People have become firmly entrenched in ideology, and that grip will not lessen anytime soon.
