I'll show myself out

Charge your phone

"The incel community" sounds like a pretty handy scapegoat. I'll remember it if I fuck my son up and feel the need to complain to strangers online

Give late stage capitalism some time

We'll get there

The frog?

Non burnable wood would be highly useful

QED

The radical feminists make a lot of good points

I wonder what Varg's deal is

He has no humour, at least from what I can tell

Got a bit of a crush on him, eh?

He's asking for it, dressed like that

What a slut

A con man once took 200k from Vargs mother and told her that a friend of mine would bust him out of jail, then went clubbing with it

What show?

And you're not sick of it?

What's on your mind?

I am the curious type

Life is full of compromises

Why do you want to see her?

So why are you breaking up, then?

Because?

Better how?

Your genetically superior brother? Gattaca style?

Never saw that film?

Eh, it's okay, not great. Just popular

Gattaca

Don't get your hopes up too much 😄

You'll see

Fair enough

He's one of the last non-designer babies, in a world of genetically altered perfect specimens

Spends his whole life competing with his perfect brother and losing, but manages to fool everyone else into thinking he's a ubermensch like them

His brother figures out his ruse
and threatens to expose him, so MC challenges him to a long distance swim, and let's him drown, and goes to space

You're trying to date the wrong organ

'you' don't get to go anywhere

Because you stop existing

They get digested by the cannibal, of course

And fused into iron to power his atomic reactor metabolism, I guess

炒麵

I know, but that's my favourite, I think

although dumplings are pretty amazing too

Perogis?

Ah, that's how it's spelled. Yeah, those are really good, although I've never had proper ones

Adding white vinegar to the soy sauce when eating dumplings improved the experience even further

Well, soy sauce and vinegar

It's delicious

They also have this restaurant type there called... Quai Chow? Kwai Chau? something like that. It's like an all night seafood buffet type thing

Came across one drunk off my ass at 4 in the morning and was invited to sit with this large group of taiwanese people who knew exactly what to order

It was a religious experience

I'll ask my buddy when he's back

How "smart" a population is, is a product of culture

That no population is more or less deserving of totalitarianism, basically

You don't choose culture, culture chooses you

Ah yes, the "will of the people" 😄

Of course

deserve has nothing to do with it

They're neither guilty nor innocent

Consider that the formation of culture is a product of more factors than the human mind can possibly fathom, and that the way it forms is essentially self organizing. If we believe Spengler, it develops according to certain principles, completely outside the cultures own perception of "direction" or "progress". According to Spengler, it is in fact, a circle. Are you to blame for being born now, instead of 100 years ago, when your existence could perceivably served a purpose?

lol

As a visual metaphor I have always preferred the antikythera mechanism, but yes

Weird, that was todays topic

Well that would be an actual test of your morality, no?

Everything else can be considered ego centric, which doesn't elevate you very far above your monkey cousins

If anything, you may be below them in that case, as the killer monkey is at least honest about his nature

I'm aware

That's fine, but it makes your code of morality extremely weak, as it exists only to serve yourself

Nature doesn't care about your morality though

So extending morality to nature is a little strange?

lol

That is how the humanists breach their own morality, yes

"You have certain human rights, unless you refuse to acknowledge them"

"Then we are permitted to breach your rights"

Most people adhere very strongly to those three justifications

What do poles have against sweden?

Okay but really

True, but I'm not sure the standard of living is any different. Might get paid more in Norway, but expenses will be higher too

Kinda confusing since Norway, Iceland and even Denmark seem to have quite a large polish population

But maybe I'm misreading it, it says "percentage of immigrant population", so perhaps there are just more immigrants in sweden, so poles make up a smaller percentage?

Interesting

Hey laure, have you ever come across one of those news articles where they accuse the Norwegian government of stealing polish children?

I heard they were a thing but I've never actually seen one

You don't consider poland eastern european?

Czech is not eastern european though

It's not...

I see your point

What an awful metric though

It is way cheaper than any other kind of fast food here though

mixed...?

Yeah, sounds like a terrible idea

Like that time they tried to make red "go" for traffic lights in China

5.2% baby

Not bad

I probably spend way more than that on cigarettes though

holy moly

Canadian english is the true master race

What standard? Where?
