look, if you get enough innocent people shot, it's going to encourage policies and personal efforts to add defenses for innocent people to not get shot so much. it's actually a good thing

to the giant anarchist brain comparing any two things is misogyny

for you see comparing amount of power used by one thing to amount of power used by another thing is like comparing fetus sizes to the sizes of different fruit which can be tenuously tied to some outdated terminology used by old doctors

I never said I was upset about it, I made a one sentence observational joke that people blew up about, lol. Had zero judgments or anything that even looked like judgments.

so, without inferring judgment, your "joke" reads as:

comparing bitcoin energy usage to countries is [a helpful way to help the average person grasp an abstract concept]

which I agree with, but isn't very funny.

yeah, that's true. doctors be like "your fetus is about the size of a blueberry this week. that's already a loving travesty, and something should really be done to stop it before it gets any bigger. please get an abortion before it's as big as an apple."

see my earlier post, trilateralism is probably just a joke they put in there. but backmasking is definitely a real one that jack chick was worked up over, it's when evil satan bands put HAVE GAY SEX WITH THE DEVIL backwards in a song so it hypnotically corrupts the youth and pretty soon little timmy from the house on the corner is having gay sex with the devil because he made the mistake of listening to N'Sync or whatever

I thought that was the point of boy bands in general? Or at least that’s what I (repeatedly) told my 12 year old sister when she wrapped her room in New Kids on the Block posters. Because boy bands were undeniably gay. Just listen to their “music.” And their fans are all 10 year old girls (so, so gay!). ofc I was 14 at the time and she was very annoying when it was her turn in the mini-van on Sundays to choose the music...
