The lack of any discernible differences between these two characters is stunning.

Camm.
Ruby & Sapphire, though, I don't think I'd want them to be here. They wouldn't like it.

Uh, that's it. Everyone who I'd like to be here, is here.

I would throw Lucina in there, but I only know her from Smash, and I have no interest in playing FE:A.

He's permabanned, and you guys are still talking about him? That's just a little bit silly, isn't it?

Obviously not real ones, though.

You don't think that isn't also an impossible change?

No, I don't. I think it's quite simple to spread the memes (in the Dawkins sense of the word) of the philosophy, get discussions going. Do everything in your power to make it known. That's how all social movements come to fruition. That's how every single movement in history has come to fruition. We ended slavery, we gave women the right to vote, and we are undergoing a systematic process right now where shit like homosexuality and even cannabis legalization are happening.

These are all great social changes, and they happened/are happening. There was a point where people said shit like, "slavery will live on." "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever." To roaring applause.

Obviously, a number of important discussions have to take place first before we can get anti-natalism in the air. First we have to get rid of this religion crap, but that's gonna take centuries. How about abortion, then. We focus on instilling the "pro-choice" meme, and that'll be one more step towards even more social progress.

I can go on and on. It can happen. I won't say it will happen--well, it WILL happen, when the fucking sun explodes--but it can happen. And I refuse to be discouraged by delusional notions of futlity.

If you really cared about human suffering you'd become a scientist or an engineer, not a fucking English major.

I'm doing my part in spreading the memes around. I don't have the skillset to be a scientist or engineer. It's not that I don't care--I just don't have the ability, or the confidence enough in my ability to be either of those things. I also don't think it would be very fun. So yeah, I can be a selfish human being. I'm really a testament to my own philosophy. But this appeal to hypocrisy shit is just crap. Obviously, I know that I'm not a paragon of intelligence or a paragon of virtue in the sense that I'm not really doing humanity a service with my English major. Regardless, I'm still doing what I can right now, and I still have time to switch my major and study something more "productive" if I so desire.

But it's going to be fucking miserable.

If every human being on Earth right now stood shoulder to shoulder to each other, we would only be able to fill up the city of Los Angeles. Let that sink in.

my inclination is not to take people seriously when they decry the evils of money because money is just an abstraction and the existence of the abstraction doesn't change the fact that goods and services have value and there is a finite amount of them to go around

someone is welcome to try to convince me I'm missing something

what you just said could also be applied to an anti-capitalist argument

you realize that right

your central point is that resources are finite
you are correct--but that's not an argument for capitalism

that's an argument for economics
we can argue about which economic systems are greater, but you essentially said nothing in this post

because everyone agrees--yes, economics is a fundamentally good idea

History major graduate here, working at Kmart. Just waiting for the meteor to hit my car on the way to work. The STEM people are right. A liberal arts degree means nothing. So what, you wrote a few papers and that was it. People in engineering and computer science actually do complex things, anyone can bullshit a paper and write cohesively.

Do you live with your parents?

so i make more money

what am i gonna do with money?

tell me

that's life

even if i wanted an engineering degree, just like every other dumb fucking cunt i know, i woudn't make fun of someone for having a liberal arts major

because i'm not a flagrant fucktard

goes to show you how broken society is when you are essentially forced to study something you have no actual interest in, just to get some shitty dumb cunt job that you don't want, just to make a living

why give in to that when i can do something that i like doing instead

oh

yeah, there isn't lol
