My younger, wilder days I'd finish work on a Friday up the country and out into the car for the road home, 4 hour drive or so. I'd open down every window and play Ride of the Valkyries on repeat all the way, and wouldn't dip below 130 mph too often. Then a wild weekend too of course.
Not saying I wasn't a lunatic, but fond memories.
So are you a big fan of amphetamines too as well as all this electronic music?

Communists have the big penises btw. Capitalists are compensating obviously.

Can you imagine chopping off your penis? Maybe there's something of the difference between capitalists and communists in that.

That is not any sort of meaningful answer. I want some deep heart and soul shit.
What makes a dude want to chop off his penis and use opposite sex bathrooms these days?

And wrong btw. Necessity was always a better word. It's an essentialism you have to get at, I think. Fear's there a little bit, sure.

I do not think it matters to god if I think he's some sort of transformer. Still, I'm probably half Christian, or thereabouts. I listened to Paradise Lost last summer on audiobook. I don't like to admit I believe in god actually, and I'll lie about it often. I'll tell any girl I'm an atheist in order to bed her, I'll humour the fuck out of astrology, too, anti-vax even a couple of times. I'm not sure if that matters, but it's like not believing in a buddy or something, there's a tingling guilt there only. Day or two in hell, tops. Raiders of the Lost Ark was a cool Indiana Jones movie. Nearly sent that as Indian. Indian Jones. That's a completely different movie.

Who says you have to drink excessively? There's fun in that too though, I might add. Stories to be made, I spent a night laughing at old stories tonight in fact. You'll never have that much fun with Jesus. Or maybe you might, I'll hold out hope he's a bit of a Jack the Lad, too. But not drinking at all sounds a bit daft, right. I love tipsy, to be honest. There's nothing as lovely as a few pints, few Guinnesses. I googled that word another ten times, I'll be honest. A few cream liqueurs, and I right-clicked that one. But nothing as nice. And to sit there warm and dozy and be thoroughly amused by yourself. Well, what's your problem, old man?

I have no argument at current for either of these, although I do fancy the individualism one. I am quite drunk, to be honest. I would like to offer instead the argument that men never actually fought lions in the Colosseum. (I should warn, I googled that word ten times and just couldn't figure it out, before finally deciding to just right click it.) But the reason is simple. If men fought lions then, how come there is not one single video on youtube of a man fighting a lion today? Not one. Surely there would be even one. Now I know my argument is flawed from the beginning, there's a hole or two I could poke in it for sure, even drunk as I am. I've not much researched this argument even; if you would like to provide a video of a man fighting a lion, I would only be too happy to be refuted. But how come there is not one video of a man fighting a lion? I've never seen one. You'd think I would have. I'm going to offer up now a topic of "a man should fight a lion" for the next round of this, if we do get another round of this. Even though I have not made an argument supporting anything in the OP, I will invite you to upvote this argument all the same, and encourage you to upvote this proposed topic. I might try tomorrow with the individualism one.

Seriously, first of all, you changed harm to pleasure there, and it's barely workable if we're deciding on who should get pleasure. Second, that's just not the reason at all utilitarianism is bullshit.
The whole debate in utilitarianism revolves around social worth, a greater good in individual people. The philosophy would absolutely having us weighing the worth of individual people.

Peter Singer is also like the world's leading crackpot and there's something of euthanasia or eugenics in effective altruism. It really is some barmy shit.

Did you know that Christopher Nolan's Batman movies are actually all a critique of utilitarianism? Ra's al Ghul trying to crash a train into Gotham City for a quick little proof, but even Heath Ledger's Joker and Harvey Two-Face are victims of trolley problem thinking. Utilitarianism is just bunk af tbh. There's something of the game of Russian roulette in it, even. Strange philosophy.

@Theweakeredge
One person being harmed does not always equal another singular person being harmed, in fact, in most instances it doesn't. Utilitarians seem to forget that
No they don't. In fact, the entire philosophy rests on it.

Topic: The film "Whiplash" had a happy ending
Funnily, I made the argument on DDO a long time ago that this movie was all one big analogy for masturbation. I never thought of the whole "happy ending" part, but I don't doubt it has one.
Found this. The editing kinda ruins it a bit, but man that was a sweaty movie.

Venezuela is a shit country. It could run a surplus tomorrow if it wanted. People would die, though.
Deficits mean very little except for how production, taxation, and spending are related relative to one another
I can agree to this.

@bmdrocks21
Any system can run a deficit, but I’d argue that more capitalist ones (ie less welfare) are more likely to run surpluses
What's the point of a surplus when your people are hungry?

@thett3
When you say capitalism, you mean as opposed to what? What is another system?

It is what it is I guess haha. He's easy reading, though. You could try out Slaughterhouse-Five some day when the power goes out.

@Wylted
Starting to really think about my mortality a lot and I always have but it has been extremely humbling and sad.
This hits home for me big-time actually. I have no idea when it started; I do a lot of looking back wondering was I always like this, too.

I don't know how you lot can ban Wylted and think that's a good move.

Not at all. I've known Wylted for a long time, though. He was a troll, that's all.

Wylted, like the other fellow, was a lunatic. He was very amusing, though.

Its like being told that the stand your ground law applies in all cases except when the home invasion is done by men wearing swastikas, in which case you must allow them to rape your wife.
This is very amusing. Wylted comparing RM to Elliot Rodgers too.
This is the stuff I've been missing.

That was an awkward question I asked you, in fairness. There's a user or two pisses me off and always did even on DDO. More hyena than anything else.

Bitch come here, let me give you some of these morals.

The whole consent thing is being too much the good whipped feminist. It is daft to apply it to a fetus. Are we afraid to rape a woman with our morality now? Is that it?
It's a deeply complicated issue and a girl might see it as a life sentence handed down for an all too human lapse. Let her make her choice and live with it after. But if you're talking about women consenting to fetuses, you're daft.

I absolutely think you're a good person, thett. One of the best.
Another question. Do you recognise that a lot of the right around you are fairly fucking vile persons? Strong words, but I mean em.
The left then are mostly divorced from reality.
There's little of politics comes from a place of actual compassion.
