Playboy models were hotter back in the sixties and early seventies, before cocaine, implants, and bleach blonde hair became the norm.
They were often underage back then. Right.
Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it. Wet literally means “covered in or consisting of liquid,” and yet everyone seems to think water can’t be wet just because it also makes other things wet, which it does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t itself wet
Left: “Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it…”
Right: “Dihydrogen monoxide drowns babies, I saw it on the news!”.
Seems you added a word to the definition that just so happens to be the one word your entire argument rests on.
Counterpoint: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wet
Made up of liquid or moisture, usually (but not always) water.
This is the full definition of that website:
wet (comparative wetter, superlative wettest)
- Made up of liquid or moisture, usually (but not always) water.
Synonym: wetting
Water is wet.
Pfft! 'Tis clearly biased propaganda to perpetuate the water is wet agenda and I will not tolerate it!
Isn’t all the water below the surface layer covered with a liquid?
I can’t think of a compelling reason to treat the water on the surface as a distinct entity, though.
I would say this still works.
Assuming we are not compressing it, you cannot fit more water into water. Therefore, water is saturated with itself. Therefore, it is soaked. Therefore, it is wet.
Water can’t absorb neither moisture nor water so it can’t be holding as much of either as can be absorbed.

The purpose of life is to maximise pleasure and anyone yapping against that is either trying to control you or still hasn’t deprogrammed from puritan cultural influence.
We both got buckets of chicken. Wanna do it?
Suddenlytf2
That sounds a lot like utilitarianism, which is historically left leaning.
If maximising pleasure is left, to maximise suffering is right-wing or just bdsm?
The only caveat I’d add is that it’s long term pleasure so you don’t fall into local maximums. A heroin addiction is a great way to maximize pleasure short term.
I feel that is implicit on maximising pleasure. To have little treats often, while also keeping yourself alive so you can have more little treats.
If I died tomorrow from an OD I would not have maximised pleasure in my life. Because I would have ended it early.
But if I lived constantly denying myself every single pleasure and creature comfort because ‘I need to earn it’, I would also not be maximising pleasure in my life.
You feel it’s implicit in the wording, but that’s just your interpretation of the phrase, which is why it’s important to specify.

i think it’s possible to have too many buttholes. like, from a functional standpoint. it’s probably super uncomfortable.
Or what if it just spreads the load, reducing strain on each butthole, making the experience better
Wait, we talking series buttholes or parallel buttholes? Does plumbing work like electoral you know what for arguments sake let’s say yes
We have series buttholes. When you feel like you need to poop that’s cause it’s cleared the last inner butthole
But I think there’s a maximum number of comfortable butt holes. 2 sounds good while 200 doesnt
3 is too many is all i know. i was part of some… experiments.
Demanding butthole conformity is a classic argument of the right.
i mean i guess you could read it that way. i should probably think of a better way to word that when i’m less tired
It’s possible to have too many buttholes but that’s a subjective thing and doesn’t matter
women should have the right to kill their rapists without ever seeing a day in jail
Pro-death penalty, gender-specific application, and ignoring due process probably puts this on the right.
Plenty of people on the left advocate for self-defense even to the point of lethal force but almost all of those would want an investigation and trial, and that probably means holding the killer in jail until a bond hearing. Carte blanche trust that the killer was justified is something unlikely to be offered outside of individualist people with a very strong distrust of the government to interfere with people’s lives, and those tend to be on the right. It also implies women need a legal exception as a vulnerable group which reinforces the traditional idea that they are dependent on external protection.
Left
This is absolutely a right wing take, tons of libertarians would agree with this
libertarians would agree with this, but the anarchist ones. it’s kinda pathetic to claim that self-defense is a right-wing position. one could only reach that conclusion if they believed that the police already protect rape victims and therefore there’s no need for us to protect ourselves.
If this had been “people should have the right to kill thieves / cyclists / trespassers / basically anything else”, I’d have said “right”, but OP’s statement requires the acknowledgement that women are people and rape is wrong, so… left, but maybe my bar has just become far too low.
I don’t think that’s a position I’d classify as left… Curious as to your reasoning.

why limit to women?
-
where’s the due process?
-
wouldn’t this open an avenue for getting away with murder using rape as an excuse and therefore also degrading the severity of actual rape cases?
- because I’m a woman
- they lost the right to due process after committing rape
- you commit political violence, expect someone to bash back. don’t be a fascist, and you won’t have to worry about dying
very well. i shall now falsely claim rape to murder someone, and since the victim has no way of proving innocence (on account of being dead), they would have lost the right to due process anyways, and then i get away with it scot-free since it is now legal for me to kill my “rapist”.
idk, to me it just sounds like you’re rabidly defending the right of rapists to escape any consequences.
the “false rape agenda” is an incel fascist rhetoric pushed by MRA activists so thank you for outing yourself as one of their enablers
oh, no, i’m just massively in support of legally killing anyone i want, so thanks for giving me an easy and legal way to do it!
sounds like there was nothing stopping you beyond social decorum so you can’t blame that on others. that’s all you baby

Why limit that to women?
Rapist just shows up as PVE for anyone in their vicinity? Not a bad idea.
Why limit that to “their.”
because it only makes sense in a self-defense situation

We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.
Eagles could work too.
All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.
Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.
Being someone that thinks all noisy motorcycles should be banded, I think these are neither left or right, just wrong. Make them electric bikes.
Chain drive electrics are fine, if a tad boring, but they currently lack range.
Also smaller motorbikes aren’t loud, just ban loud exhaust.
Mountain lions cannot catch cats and dogs easily. Also, plenty of people would straight up murder mountain lion with a gun or their car to save a dog or cat.
Catch, Neuter, Release diminishes wild cat populations dramatically over just a couple generations, and it doesn’t involve having to facilitate their deaths.
Edit: I am a fan of the motorcycle idea. We should make sure they’re electric to cut down on their driving volume.
i was gonna say, my favorite vehicles i’ve owned goes in order: my etrike, the hot red turbocharged 90s sportscar i drove in college, the late 80s nissan convertible with the popup headlights i learned to drive in, the hybrid we got right now, all the rest, and then that piece of shit barely worked had a door held on with duct tape and those awful automatic seatbelts but these made a RUHRUHRUH sound because they didn’t retract all the way when you got out and it had a leaky radiator that the dude who owned it before me thought you could fix by cracking an egg into it fucking garbage 94 Ford Tempo. It was Blue.
which is to say i’m a big fan of the motorcycle idea or just ebikes
Come to vietnam. Outside of HCMC and Hanoi, where there are so many bikes they recreate the issues with cars, the freedom and flexibility of 90%+ of the population using motorbikes is good for your soul. The emissions of 8 million 10 year old bikes is bad for your lungs tho.
China is kinda ahead in that they have both bikes, ebikes/scooters, and public transit, but theres way more cars.
oh, i don’t need to visit vietnam for that, i live near (and used to live in) a college town with about three times as many bicycles as cars. only time we got in the car was to leave town.
It is a hoax that feral and domesticated cats are destroying the environment in places where they have predators, which is almost everywhere except Australia and some isolated islands. Cats live near humans precisely because they have so many predators in the wild.
The only disagreement I have about the bikes is that 200cc is a bit high. But smaller? Yeah probably fine.
Ok, 156cc, i was just thinking a Honda winnerx or a yamaha exciter 155 is a little underpowered for short highway trips.
I will be banned from Lemmy. I cannot tell it.
Lemmy is generally a lot more lax than other social media sites. As long as you aren’t doxxing anyone you should be fine
Now I’m very curious what it is
We should vote on someone to exile every year.
We should pay people to vote.
I mean technically we pay people $25 to vote in Australia, you just start at -$25 because voting is mandatory.
Yea that was where I got the idea.
My thought on the matter was to give people pretty much enough for a meal in either cash or a voucher, then hold a festival/fair type thing a short distance from the polling place. That would encourage actual social interaction between people of different parties and hopefully result in more moderation than you know; volent street action and drunken brawls.
Right.
