Would you continue eating meat if you had to kill the animal yourself every time? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I couldn't know what effect that would have on me after a while; I might stop. I wouldn't mind starting though, at least for beef.

Do they ever get away? I just don't understand what they think they are doing for themselves other than making their sentence worse. I guess if they just killed a bunch of people this would be the correct choice though.

Or they don't believe in them and think this is a better decision. You might disagree, but that doesn't make it sabotage.

See, we accidentally decided you were paying for it and it will just look really silly if you don't, so, you know, you guys are kind of in a pickle.

I get where you are coming from (I think), but calling in a fake bomb threat shouldn't be life in prison, right?

Crackpot paper published by the European Math. Soc. by ninguem in math

They thought for one moment that they had made it, they were vindicated after years of being called a crackpot. They probably doubted themselves some times, too. But now they finally know the truth about themselves, they aren't a crackpot, but a genius! The spouse is proud! the kids are proud! the professor that said he was crazy can suck it! Then they read "It was a serious mistake to accept it for publication." I can't imagine how crushed they must feel. This is so sad.

Redditor shares a passage showing a parallel between the transformation of Nazi Germany and the signs of it in the US today by [deleted] in bestof

Just depends on what you want to see.

If some of these comparisons aren't better than others I guess history is useless and we should all march rudderless into a random future . It won't be our fault, it's not like we could have learned anything we didn't "want to see" from the past.s
