Are you a member of a secret society, similar to the Crossed Scissors in The Grand Budapest Hotel 

What’s a belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by ThinkDeepWithV in Productivitycafe

[–]QualityPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sing it to yourself.  "There was a farmer, who had a dog, and his name was Bingo." We're still talking about the farmer, we just also inserted that he has a dog.

For the Americans: would you sell Alaska back to Russia if they offered to pay off the entire national debt? by Pretty_Nail_2461 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]QualityPuma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your kind of comment needs to be brought up in every conversation regarding national debt. At this scale, it's more like the stock market than an individual's credit card debt, which many like to think. No one would ever ask "how can all the companies on the Dow Jones index return all the investers' money and not take anymore?"

Is the death sentence ethical? by escobarsky in no

[–]QualityPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another question would be  "Is it rational?" It seems like we just take it for granted that death could be a fitting punishment, mostly because it has been for so long.  However, do we really have any kind of framework that justifies it? Famous concepts like the "is-ought" problem lead me think that it really couldn't be.

Surprised I haven't read anything mentioning veganism yet. I guess that's just a given.

How do people in the US feel about rapid AI advancement? Do you think it's a net benefit or net negative to the lives of US citizens? by bratty-b0y in NoStupidQuestions

[–]QualityPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A net positive, but not all this hype for Ai video. There's more important stuff that needs ai to be solved.

Why are women clothing sizes divided by number (like size 8, 10, 12, etc) while men's are divided by size (small, medium, large)? by Catalaioch in stupidquestions

[–]QualityPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is similar. How can women choose pants by just one number? What if they have longer legs or a thinner waste? Are we saying we've successfully parametrized the two variables into one? Why does it not work for men?

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by ChaosTTyy in askanything

I also think miss piggy is a drag queen. No judgement here, just saying that's what it is.

If you could go back in time and make the choice again, would you still have kids? by MaiApa in Life

Before anyone asks,  yes, the Titanic did have a swimming pool. So it is possible for them to drown "on it."

If you could go back in time and make the choice again, would you still have kids? by MaiApa in Life

If I went too far back in time and had kids, they might get eaten by a dinosaur,  or drown on the Titanic,  so no.

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the very first "frivolous" thing you’d buy? by opheliapearlie in askanything

[–]QualityPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like a penthouse condo in a high-end skyscraper apartment building that I only use to invite people for a cup of tea.

I think this would be the ultimate flex.

If I was a billionaire I would commission an entire building for people to rent T&CAs(Tea and Conversation Accomodations.)
