Rebuttal: I feel like a meatbag could come up with more than one purpose other than being target practice.

Mockery: Perhaps I am giving meatbags too much credit however, as I have found very few that could serve a higher purpose outside of the master and those he deems as 'worthy'.

Statement: kotor is a game made by meatbags for meatbags.

Statement: the one things the meatbags did right was invent some of the best dialog this side of the outer rim.

Statement: the combat can be rather drowl and uninspiring, but has a certain charm to it as it allows for the master to mercilessly slaughter all who stand in his way. And even allows his companions to enjoy on the festivities.

Most tax donations writeoffs are worth 50% towards your taxed income. If you also 'lose' money in that fiscal year you also can write that off. Combine those two together and its a recipe to dodge taxation.

Its called a tax write-off, not an act of compassion.

Tough crowd.

A conspiracy theory! Thanks for watching!

I wanted to make that joke so bad but the crowd in this sub tend to be pretty rough and tumble when it comes to memes.

That's why I'm not a conspiracist. But I do believe that's how some megalomaniac ceos think. somehow they see a way to gain big from a recession.

Funny... Amazon was having staffing issues all last year, now plans to cut 18k jobs.

I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but I feel like businesses were expecting a recession, maybe even a global one to redistribute power and seeing as it didn't happen when they wanted they are pulling a thanos and "fine, well do it ourselves" moment.

which is exactly what the article portraits, a part of our social species that is actually inherently different to our prime ape counterparts.

depends on who you're talking to. i could see not laughing in north korea or russia right now over a clearly obvious but not funny joke told by putin or kim being taken as a pretty illegal crime. Xi has been falling in line with that too and im sure trump would also agree.

Well... as a species we used to kill people who weren't assimilated into our societies on the regular. We still do it today but prisons exist so instead of inhumanely killing them, we just lock them up and tell them to convert or stay there until eventual death.

And thats why we do the fake smiles and laughs. Its a social stigma so they like us and see us as relatable. If we don't come off as likeable and relatable nobody will talk to us or be friendly towards us and we'll be left alone in these forced scenarios we have to deal with daily, repeatedly.

Yes, the news sites recanted on the legitimacy of the bill. On other words the way the bill worked was it was based around reporting it and the social media companies would be fined and made to pay the news outlets. Once they saw their revenue stream dip harshly in those two days due to extremely low traffic on their sites due to social media sites blocking the ability to post links to those said news outlets within the code. The results were most news sites apologized and basically said something along the line of social media plays a key part of sharing information with the news outlets to the people. The major outlets made a formal apology and said they wouldn't report any social media sites. Of course those sites got written confirmation of this 'unification' because it became a sort of partnership between social media sites and news outlets thus making it legal. The bill was later dissolved by parliament.

Remember when they kept asking us about how we wouldn't dl/pirate a car and everyone unanimously said yes we would because the things are too expensive? This is the same thing. They want more money and its just gonna kick them in the teeth because they'll get less ad revenue hits and people just won't be getting flooded by every pointless flare attention grabbing article unless you just can't live without it. They tried it in Australia and it lasted 2 days. In two days they lost so much ad revenue vs subscribers not signing up that they quickly undid the bill.

A binkie you mean?

Why are you yelling at me!?! 😢
