Surely you mean Brahmin poop!

Makes for the best jenkem.

I think they care more about helping people than hurting gays. I also think that they really like to hurt gays.

Nah, I’m good, just happy to be alive.

I spent January and February of 2020 in a state park living in a two man summer tent that I had used twenty years prior and stowed away in the attic in the weird case I would ever become homeless. I was very proud of myself when I discovered that, good thinking. It didn’t do much against the half meter snow, but I did get to see a beaver. Have you seen a beaver?

Because of your dirty, dirrrrty sins!

The people who took care of me were genuinely of God. I suppose YMMV depending if you live in a sane country or not. We do live in the single most atheist country on the planet though, so I guess it’s not globally representative…

“Come to Daddy”

I fucked a transvestite once. Still got fed.

New Reno?

People can simultaneously entertain good and bad positions on things.

Salvation army fed me when I was living on the streets, and they treated me with kindness and respect, that’s all I know.

“Let me explain the bullshit rules for you, then you will see how you were in the wrong and our underhanded corporate tactics are helping society”

Oh it’s unlimited all right! But everything above some data threshold will be transmitted at 10 kb/s. See, they upheld their part!

In the thought experiment, the guy in the Chinese room is following exactly the same kind of rules.

But it’s just a guy in a room shoving slips of papers around. He doesn’t actually speak Chinese.

Get it?

Prove to me that you are conscious.

“Human brains are not actually conscious. They’re just a bunch of electrochemical discharges.”

Every human has a right to partake in the cultural mosaic of society. Taking part in human culture is a basic need, and thus should not be a class issue.

Are they the sort of people that can be taken out with a bat to the back of their heads?
