you forgot the most important and easily justified reason

they're tasty

that's not a reason why you'd think eating animals is okay

that's a reason why you eat animals

two different questions

nobody who thinks it's okay to eat animals on the SOLE BASIS that they taste good is a person i'm willing to take seriously, because the counterarguments against that position are so obvious and facile that it's a complete waste of time and effort

people deserve to feel good and and cows deserve to taste good

you know I had to do it to em

OH SHI-

guys they got gang weed

did he learn that his actions have consequences?

you fool

Sammy knew all along.
He was trying to teach us.

just genetically engineer the next generation of humans to stay cute and smol forever

unironically though, this seems like exactly the kind of thing class would say, which is why I find it disconcerting

the thing that cripples him the most is that he has absolutely no idea what he wants out of life, and if you're in a similar place you may want to examine your abilities and fall in love with your strengths, that way you can do something you want to, instead of wanting to do something you know you can't

I was thinking about this a few months back. I was honestly expecting Ginsburg to retire first, this was definitely surprising.

I care about you my man, don't worry.

I appreciate that

did you get your PhD yet?

Nah, won't be for a while. I haven't even been able to really to do much for it. I was at the European Commission HQ this Monday to finally close a project on government surveillance and preventing terrorism. This has been my main task for the past year and a half so I'm stoked to be done with it. I'm starting a new project on predictive policing now but should have more time to finally submit a proposal and get it approved. It's a pretty lengthy process to even get approval to start a PhD in my field and on the topic I'm working on. Things haven't been bad though. I've published several articles in peer reviewed journals and got to travel to present my work at several conferences. I was just in Athens last month so that's all pretty sweet stuff.

How have you been?

Eh, I'm stuck in the midwest

I took a summer job with arduous hours and now I'm just desperate to get out of here and for the summer to be over
We're leaving for Seattle in two weeks

Who's we? What kind of summer job?

I have taken a lover

and I'd rather not talk about work
but the shifts are twelve hours and it makes me wanna die

the money is good, but not as good as I'll make after we move

Sometimes when I read your thread titles I think to myself, wow, that's quite the pull. There's definitely some sort of psychological element to this, whether intentional or not. I remember one example where the thread was basically inviting us to feel important, and the other threads instigated similar feelings probably. I always gave you points for those

your English has gotten considerably better since you started posting and you don't really seem like a retard anymore (most of the time)

and honestly you seem like a more rounded person these days, but that could just be my impression

I care about you my man, don't worry.

I appreciate that

did you get your PhD yet?

I remember you from b.net days.
What happened Gatsby?

I...

what?

These days all I really want to talk about is how I feel and the feelings and personal lives of others, and I'm really not sure what people even talk about here.

Basically all I can do when I come here is sink back into shitty posting habits and while I don't think I really like any of you all that much, except a handful of exceptional people who are probably also the best of us in their daily lives, I am certain that none of you has even cared whether I enjoy your company, or even tried enjoying mine in some time.

I don't think I'm gonna stop posting any time soon, in fact even though I have been much less active I still log into and check the site every day, but I'm a little bit frustrated that this is all that's left of my childhood. I don't even think I knew most of you on b.net

Sorry for the blogpost, but it's been on my chest. I'd appreciate some general questions that we could have some small talk over, but as usual, ask me anything you like.

i'm glad i grew out of that phase where i thought solonoid knew shit about shit

I think I actually used to be a smarter, or at least more thoughtful person.

Now I'm basically a retarded nazbol tranny.

Everything I say should be immediately discarded as it's the first thing to come to my mind, and as I don't bother putting thought or effort into anything anymore.

Including this.
