All I’m saying is that there’s a logical breakdown at play. Any argument in favor of “the environment” had to be based on the value of individual life. I’m not even saying that we shouldn’t be moderating our population growth, we should. I’m just saying the environmentally friendly angle is a logically strange argument, from first principles.

Framing not having kids as conscientious means only the unconscientious will have kids. That is an everyone problem.

Don’t know how you jumped to that conclusion, but okay.

As does every other life form, given the chance. We are the only one, that we know of, which even has a concept of conservation. We have the power to consciously regulate our behavior.

In the end, my point is that either life is valuable for its own sake, including humans, or it isn’t, including the rest of the ecosystem. Any philosophy which posits that the existence of other life forms is more valid than that of humans is foundationally inconsistent. I’m certainly not saying that human life is more valid than others, but either life is valid or out isn’t. Humans aren’t special one way or the other.

is your life more worth than the future of our own species?

Where exactly does the future of the species come from if no one has kids?

You don’t make your own robot lover either. You do select it, same as you select your fast food order, porn video, and TV channel.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.

Same director. I didn’t see it, but I love The Fifth Element

Primer and The Man from Earth are two of my all time favorite films. Production value is nice and all, but an interesting idea explored well wins every time for me.

It was more trouble than it was worth maintenance-wise considering the age, but my '66 Beetle. Such a fun little car, like an elaborate go-kart.

My favorite movie about time travel is Back to the Future, but the movie that I think did time travel best is Primer. If time travel works, it’s probably like that.

Honestly with Jack Honey that probably wouldn’t be awful. Super sweet, but not awful.

If they’re too young to fold their own, they’re small enough that their clothes should be able to just lay flat in the drawer.

91, 118,119, 134/182(332),163, 291, 313, 340, 416, 445. That’s just on the first 5 pages. For bonus, consider every submission which isn’t itself just the flag design (e.g. 4, 6, 32, 96, etc) as, itself, the flag design.

Huh. I was pretty sure Gunshow predated Oglaf, but I just looked it up and Oglaf actually started a month and a half before Gunshow. Still, wild that it was that close.

Same. I figure out the most efficient way of doing something, and do it that way every time forever. Until I learn a more efficient way, which becomes the new way I do it forever.

What evidence do you have that human creativity is anything other than remixing?
