Because the word reptiles=Reptilia literally

No, Reptilia comes from "reptiles", which is a word that was used way before modern classification systems to mean "creepy scaley creatures". And it still means that. If you care about the genetic classification then use the genetic terms.

Basic income still strikes me as a bad idea. You're giving money to people who don't need it, which costs a lot more than just giving it to people who do.

You can't just "give money to people who need it" because whenever there is an imbalance in a welfare system, the powerful are the ones to benefit the most at a detriment to the weak.

So given that there will always have to be SOME welfare system, a flat basic income is far better at giving help to those who need it than opinionated and imbalanced alternatives. There's also a negative income tax, which is basic income that quickly tapers off as income increases, which is still completely objective, but it creates perverse incentives towards the top edge of the taper that would hurt those around it. But it would still probably work best in practice considering how much cheaper it is.

Holding all other things equal, is it reasonable to assume the person who says anti-war stuff is more likely to actually be anti-war than the person who DOESN'T say anti-war stuff?

There is an extremely powerful inverse correlation there. Just like with guys who say they have a huge dick and are "nice guys".

The vast vast majority of anti-war people have not ever publicly claimed to be anti-war.

It's super easy to pee with the seat down so this is never an issue, and also I sit to pee pretty often

The meme about seats up and down is probably from some 50s comedy bit that blew up in pop culture and is self-perpetuated due to male/female tribalism, just like 50-80% of the rest of our social norms

If I were to be stuck on a desert island with either a KKK member, or a person dumb enough to actually believe that Trump was anti-war, that would be a really tough call. I mean, the klansman might actually be intelligent enough to usefully contribute to our survival!

Definitely the trump supporter cuz it would be very useful to have what is essentially a slave that does whatever you want for you just cuz you say some nice words

I would consider the argument up until the point you are rude. Then I go and do something else because I am disinterested in continuing a dialogue with a person who can't handle common decency. I would rather spend time railing against that person's extensive history of poor behavior and then go do something else with my time at work.

Works for me

I like how basic expectations of civility are the equivalent of coddling

The problem is you NEED civility to consider an argument. Why? It doesn't help you. If you're wrong you're still wrong and if you're right you're still right.

Like, foolmo could have left off the last sentence and I would have been like, "Ah, yeah, that's a fair point." I might have completely rethought my point of view. But instead, we have to constantly spout insults. I've always thought that foolmo and I were cordial, but maybe I should be disabused of the notion that one can be allowed to learn and grow on this board.

My god people are so incredibly sensitive and coddled on the internet now, what happened?

You really avoided thinking about my point because I was slightly mean about it? THAT is worth limiting your intellectual growth?

So it is reasonable to say "Well you follow redpills so you must be redpill" when the vast majority of my time is spent on people who are clearly not redpill?

He's too used to SJW, which IS a term that can literally mean anything (usually something imaginary) depending on the context, because it's NOT a self-identified term. It's only a pejorative that the user applies to whatever group is convenient.

is redpill about relationships? from what i understood it's "here's how you can quickly get sex by acting like an asshole."

It's about getting sex, in the context of the world where everyone (especially women and minorities) is total shits who are out to get you. It centers around being an asshole to get sex, but primarily it's about why you're still a good and rational person despite being absolutely obsessed with hating women and minorities and liberty and such. That's why tons of redpills (80%+) are complete virgins but are still entirely dedicated to the ideology. Basic religious life-affirming appeal.

It's almost like "redpill" doesn't actually mean any specific thing but instead is a generic catch-all term for "people foolmo doesn't like"

redpill is a 100% self-identified movement and personality that tons of people choose for themselves and also has extremely extensive literature describing what it claims to be about

But you can still buy them a $50 meal and get called a sexist piece of shit for wanting sex out of it!

That's a new feature that they finally added to help misogynist idiots realize why they aren't getting sex

It's not really working though, we need a new patch to fix it

Fry looked like a category 2 for years.

He was a shitty person and then he improved and then Leela dated him. It's pretty simple. If you're a shitty person now, you don't always have to be that way. You can change and improve and become actually desirable.

Isn't that was redpill is all about? Or is it really just about how everyone is shit so you are excused for your horrible choices?

Do women actually demand perfection?

Dudes definitely do (see r/niceguys) so I don't see see why women wouldn't as well.

But that seems like a typical young person thing. No one wants to settle at 20. But 30? It all goes out the window.

what a tragedy for the modern woman that she can no longer expect free meals on demand by taking advantage of male loneliness and desperation

She really should realize it's the unattractive men who are suffering now because they can't buy a $20 meal and instantly get socially obligated sex anymore

It's the medical field's business to track that in case of any health-related emergencies that could involve penises and vaginas.

So allergies and stuff like downs syndrome and such should go on the birth certificate also

Also I want to see the hospital that orders a testicular cancer check for someone without testicles, just because they didn't see their sex on the birth certificate.

Like just think about what you're saying for 1 or 2 seconds and you'll realize how dumb it is.

It's really weird to me how many people feel this way. It's just a callback, and a pretty fun one at that.

Because it's literal, spit on your face insult to the viewer. If you don't expect that kind of interaction from the show (which you should because of Dan Harmon alone) then it can be pretty souring. It's a fantastic use of a new emotion that the show hasn't used before though, especially combined with the april fool's angle.

But it also backslides viciously on the Rick front. It's kind of funny how much of a sociopath he is

Only if you believe the sauce is important, which it's not. It's a trick designed for the detective, and a trick for the viewer. Rick's ramble at the end was targeted at the viewers who were super hype about S3 for so long and such. It's all a trick. It's the writers pointing out that they have power over the viewers (and evidently all of social media and even massive corporations like McDonalds) and they can do whatever they want.

Generations question: I've heard that the general consensus is that modern Sonic focuses too much on "gotta go fast" and Generations looks like the biggest offender of that. people seemed to like Generations though, way more than other modern Sonics anyway. what gives?

Generally when you see a game played by speedrunners, it's a little bit faster than typical gameplay

we don't put the 3 best fighting game players in the world on commentary for every game. we have guys who have a personality along with a little bit of knowledge.

Well for fighting games the pool of people to choose from is massive for each game. For small speedrunning communities, they very well might pick their most charismatic people for the couch, and still end up this awkward.
