Or just drive off. If you rise to every barb, you’re almost definitely going to end up with a severely painful, chronic erection. Getting shot or run over is also on the table.

I could just tell you what he’d do. He’d lie. Instantly. And poorly. And then when he’s called out, he’ll say the other party is small and unimportant. He’s done this too consistently.

He’s not, this is some other guy. His knuckles don’t say “ms13” in arial narrow.

Curly, shoestring, sweet potato. The rest are unappetizing, either too greasy to bear or not crunchy enough. Swap hash browns in for onion rings and we have a contender.

I think I’m blocking the news communities for a while for my mental health. See you guys at the rallies and then the purges!

Two things can be true at the same time. But I’ll dispute that this is citizen citrus’s fault. European appeasement created the enemy they’re currently facing. Particularly merkel’s germany.

Trump is a swindler who is currently swindling. Europe is a militarily complacent economic bloc wholly dependent on the US. Frankly, this is a terrible, short sighted move, as this removes US military leverage, but it’s a very Trump move.

Right wingers fucking wish they could shitpost this hard.

Only time I’ve seen an ethical love potion plot was a cute little comic featuring a couple looking to spice things up due to mutual boredom. They split a love potion, but neither changed their behavior. Both remained bored together, but with slight, visible smiles.

Just read the article, and did it feel as though it was written by 3 different people to anyone else?

But anyway, the EU undeniably needed to spend more on their collective militaries with a hostile, expansionist neighbor on their doorstep. This is literally one of two things that Trump has been right about in his lifetime.

What a bizarre thing to censor. Surely they could just disprove the bits that were untrue, rather than enforcing groupthink. Countries aren’t your friend.

I agree, in that “self improvement” is a fairly nebulous concept and acceptance of the self is a positive trait, but they should probably still look to improve themselves. Exercise, volunteer, pick up a hobby outside the house, cut off your toxic community and find another, etc… Volunteering and community tend to go together, from my experience, so I’d start there.

But mind the allure of the trash piles, with their sleek chrome and opulent velvet. Lest you become what you rail against

You’re asking a question without a complete answer, as it’s a complex system in active research, but truthfully, I only know of a couple offhandedly. Some strains of lactobacillus occupy space largely benignly, and some E. coli produce vitamin k. But mostly, they’re just eating and multiplying. Hit up Wikipedia for an abundance of specifics.

Some perform tasks, but they largely just take up space, and that’s a good thing. Your body’s full of materials that malignantly pathogenic bacteria would love to get their hands on. Bacteria that are largely incapable of doing anything to us take up space that would otherwise be occupied. You’d likely prefer an old squatter living in your walls, rather than a crackhead. You’d probably choose an electrician, but that’s life. Better they’re largely benign than overtly and desperately malicious.

You factually do have a viral balance in your internal ecosystem. Bacteriophages cull populations, and some viruses hyper-specialize in attacking cancer. There are more examples, but I can’t immediately recall

How do you even find something to play? That’s enough options that I’d get lost in the search, leave, come back later, and repeat.

Take some of those same bacteria and set them directly against the intestinal lining without any of the delicious mucus in the way and you’ll have a slightly unpleasant time. And I’m being literal. It’ll be aggravating, and deleterious to your long term health, but usually not immediately life threatening. They’re absolutely beneficial, but they’re in it for themselves. They’re not beneficent, they just are, which was all the point I intended to make.

Never heard of it. Did you mean to say gigananomachines?

In the same way that the mafia plays a crucial role in the Italian mafia government. They’re still a bunch of dicks, even if they’re working for us. Move ‘em 2 millimeters in the wrong direction and you’ll have a bad time

Frankly, all life and life-adjacent things on this planet are either nanomachines or scalable nanomachines.

Anyone else just like… sighing a lot these days?
