And what a righteous 15 years of uneducated adulthood it'll be before they die of black lung.

I would argue there is definitely a difference between "do what I say or suffer" and "do what I say and you'll have a better go of things." The latter sounds more like advice than abuse.

I worked as a pizza delivery man at the same restaurant for 6 years. My severance was my old car topper.

Haven't had to pay for parking since. Thing is worth its weight in gold.

Given that all humans have a natural right to life, saying that a minority group shouldn't exist because of who/what they are is literally the opposite of treating them as human beings. It's hate speech, period.

Software engineers are bad at their jobs.

It's just that everyone else is worse.

I read somewhere once that one theory behind deja vu is that it's the result of a temporary de-sync between your left and right brain hemispheres. Usually signals reach each hemisphere at about the same time, but sometimes the signals can be de-synced by a few milliseconds and (theoretically) cause you to process the same thing twice in quick succession, giving you the vague impression of familiarity on the second signal process.

Edit: Messed up a bit. Each hemisphere sends a signal to the temporal lobe for processing, and that's where the de-sync can happen.

The gay former transportation secretary

What on earth does his sexuality have to do with this topic? Why bother mentioning it?

I feel like these comments have finally come full-circle

Yeah, of course they do. They literally form the cornerstone of your worldview. If you change someone's beliefs, you change how they see the world. That sounds pretty damn big and important.
