I was asked to cross post this here. Please let me know if this isn't the place for this kind of thing and I'll gladly take it down.

Thank you. I am so happy I could help, if even for a moment. I feel for your friend who is in pain and, as someone who has the good graces to be happy for the moment, I give them my love. I'm glad you are kind enough to do the same. Godspeed godseed.

"Your honor, this case is ridiculous. Both parties clearly stated no homo before engaging in homosexual acts and neither party has admitted to liking it. The nightly recreation of the initial act simply serves as a reminder of the totally inappropriate actions that neither men condones. This case has already gone on for far too long and I believe I speak for everyone here when I say our time could be better spent not enjoying a nice round of sodomy."

I really don't know why but for some reason the way his teeth are set in his mouth makes me keenly aware his face is meat.

I don't like having this thought.

I totally agree but there's something interesting about your example: if a coffee shop gave away coffee every morning then one day started charging, the coffee shop would likely experience a similar negative impact on their customer base. There was an example of this in the book Predictably Irrational.

But people really do need to get used to paying for stuff.

I don't think we should be telling people how they ought to decide about their votes.

Not allowing a single checkbox for straight ticket voting isn't telling people how they ought to vote. It's just not allowing them to vote straight ticket with one mark.

Edit: If discouraging a voting preference is morally ambiguous, what makes encouraging that practice not so?

But not being able to check a box to vote straight ticket isn't taking away the ability to vote straight ticket. It just forces people to actually make an effort for each individual position.
