What do you mean, "if"?

It's truly astonishing how far he's fallen in the public's esteem.

 

Keen eyed observers will note that although the hand made sign says that they are reserving this parking spot for memorial day, in fact it is always reserved for Veterans anyway.

Yeah she posts them. Obviously her "hotness" is a matter of personal taste, but it's not surprise that a lot of men were eager to bust in a conventionally attractive woman.

There is a certain logic to the original ideas of effective altruism. If you want to make positive change in the world, you will be more able to do so if you are a powerful person.

The problem is you can essentially use it as a justification for endlessly pursuing your own personal power. After all the more powerful you become, the more good you can do! In fact it makes it easy to justify committing immoral acts in the pursuit of power-- think of it from a utilitarian point of view! I am going to do so much good once I'm rich, that it will far out weight the harm I'm doing now. In other words, an okay idea that is used and abused by the greedy and power hungry to convince themselves they aren't bad people.

This post has gotten me thinking: are sea monkeys the modern day heirs to anomalocaris?

Because they kind of look like it.

Yeah, a lot of the people on this site don't understand that some people are just :LIB:s
