You murder a mind, not a body, so no mind no murder. Under that abortion isn’t murder at all. Taking a brain dead person off life support is also not murder. You certainly wouldn’t say cutting down a tree is murder.

There’s the thing though. Our bodies don’t really know what’s good for them with perfect accuracy. They evolved to survive in an environment of extreme and unpredictable scarcity, so your body telling you to eat the sour gummy worms is the correct choice in that context. Historically the job of the brain was to figure out how to get a steady supply without dieing. Now we have to manage our bodies like idiot babies because if we just listened to every impulse we’d end up with a host of health problems ultimately leading to reduced fertility and access to sexual partners. I mean that has always been true really, it’s just never been more true than now.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We aren’t really our bodies, we’re a biological product made by our bodies to function as high level control systems.

No war but class war

Using hot air instead of helium would not work. The density of hot air is much higher than helium, so you would need a significantly larger airship to lift the same mass of payload (the useful bits). That and keeping the air hot would require constant energy input reducing the efficiency of the system dramatically. I’m pretty sure that system would be literally impossible to construct.

I don’t think you can sell a worker cooperative the same way you can a private business as a scum sucking capitalist because it would be extremely difficult to exploit a work force that suddenly is flush with cash and has no personal stake in the business any longer. They would only agree to sell the business collectively, and they would likely all bail as soon as the sale was finalized, leaving a bunch of manufacturing equipment with no one to run it. They could probably convince some dipshit venture capitalist or hedge fund manager to buy but they wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the same price because a large part of the value to those assholes is the potential for future exploitation.

I never understood softcore porn. They go to all the trouble of setting up emotional amd sexual tension just to waste it on a hammy holywood makeout scene where all you see is boobs and bush.

Guess I’m learning how to draw. I’ll make my own big dick futa waifu fuck my ideal big dick futa self.

Try and stop me. I don’t even have windows installed anymore.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man on Wall Street; it belongs to the shareholders.

Filibuster everything. Literally everything that can be filibustered. See how fast we get rid of the filibuster.

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me

Every accusation is a confession.

I think my CEO is doing something wrong then because he seems to be trying to maximize IC whiplash sometimes.

That’s Tom, who has nothing to do with Tumblr.

Fucking idiots

Fixed it for you

I think your experience highlights the main difference, the ability to leave an instance and disengage with authoritarian assholes without having to leave Lemmy. On reddit your only options are to leave or comply.
