I know a lot about Astronomy and stuff and can tell you neat places to go,

Also I know where the planet of big-breasted, fat-ass'd bitch people of Sextopia live.

I didn't know people hated Metallica.

Seems like a pretty celebrated rock band.

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time...

Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine...

Halo 4 LASO

The absolute madman.

You can't say "I know they exist," because you don't. How we understand our evolutionary history, chemistry, and the universe as a whole suggests it's very likely that extraterrestrial life has developed elsewhere, but it's unscientific to say that there's no doubt that they're out there.

Like if we found microbes on Mars or something, I wouldn't be shocked at all, but until then, I can't really say I "Believe" aliens exist.

I don't think I can even customize my nameplate.

Slim Jims are gross dude

You have nothing to say to someone who gets the raw end of a bad dice roll in life other than "sorry that just happens sometimes", which is an admission of guilt. Sure. Most people have the will to say that life is worth living, and in a cumulative sense, those successes erase the fact failures happen. But in the end you should consider the principle of putting others through that ordeal in order to achieve that net gain.

Yes, I do, and that's why I don't think anti-natalism is applicable to my circumstance. Life's got risks, and those risks can be understood and, very often, accurately accounted for as to basically guarantee the mitigation of their influence. If you raise an individual properly, they'll be able to live a healthy, moral life and recognize that certain things should be avoided to maximize safety and comfort.

I disagree. Not specifically in that context, but I'm perfectly alright with trudging through something unpleasant to achieve something good.

Yes, YOU are. That doesn't mean it's okay to impose on somebody else, though. That's the point.

Statistically I feel as if enough people share this mentality to justify bringing somebody else along for the ride.

It's sort of a matter of where you live, what your background is, etc. Some people are certainly more qualified to have kids than others.

Sure, I don't want to suffer, but I acknowledge that the consequence of that discomfort, whether it be physical or mental, has a very good chance of resulting in some acquisition of wisdom and experience that will allow me to work towards the minimization of that type of experience for other people. Some negative things are always gonna have to happen, but I remain fairly confident in my own head that the good things I experience in life do outweigh the bad. Most people feel this way.

Determinism doesn't matter, like seriously.

Unless you're gonna argue about whether or not determinism is true, there's zero reason to bring it up. It doesn't feel like the universe is deterministic, so it doesn't matter in the context of basically any argument I've ever seen it used.

A bunch of friends and I were chilling after a baseball game our Freshman year in HS, and we were playing "Mexican Border Hopper," where the point of the game was to jump a wall, but you had to do it without getting tagged by certain people. We had like twenty kids playing, and my best friend got knocked over by some schmuck and broke his arm right there. Took it like a champ, though.

Then he got Lyme Disease a week later lmao

if you judge an ideology by the attractiveness of its followers you need to get your dick out of your brain

I think he meant the fact that this person's presentation is stupid as hell, regardless of whether or not there was good content in the video.

Content aside (Arguably), this video is fucking garbage.

We're discussing the content.

You might be, but that isn't what Egg was referring to, and it's not what I was commenting on. I'm not trying to derail the thread or anything, I was just clarifying something someone else said.
