There’s a social incentive.

My point exactly. :p

It’s been so many hours, so I don’t know if I really remember my purpose, but I think it was something like: can you get yourself into a headspace where making your bed seems like a pleasant thing to do?

'Cause I can, even though I don’t.

I don’t live in the 1600s, so it’s hard to imagine what consequences not making my own bed would have; and though I think they’re wrong, the unshowered yugioh player probably feels similarly. They’d have to be taught otherwise.

Hold your horses, there’s no need to get defensive.

I didn’t bring that up to suggest people should—I don’t—I’m just provoking a bit of thought.

You don’t see any similarities at all between making sure you’re shaved, showered, well-dressed, maybe perfumed a bit, before going outside; and making sure your bed is clean, well-kept, and presentable?

You probably don’t invite friends into your bedroom.

So let’s ask a similar question: do you clean your living room before inviting guests over? What is the purpose of that? There’s a good chance you care about it being clean more than they do, so why bother?

It is, yeah. It’s also what they believe. It’s sort of a sour grapes situation.

For most people, this kind of behavior is socialized out of them by the time they reach adulthood. But a lot of YuGiOh players, and players of other kinds, do not leave their house. To such a person, getting ready to go out requires maybe an hour or more of prep time, mostly because they don’t know what they’re doing, for what feels like 5 minutes of play at grocery store. They would think of this as superfluous and pointless.

A point of similarity I know will ruffle a few feathers: do you make your bed every day?

I would assume the incontinence is because he is incontinent and not because he doesn’t know how to sit down, but I’m not motivated enough to look it up.

I do get to, actually, through a little process called shame.

You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act.

We already do this. You cannot murder, you can’t piss in public, a lot of states don’t allow open carry, you can be shooed off the premises for smoking in the wrong areas. And, you can’t pull your dick out. “Controlling” the way people act is actually absurdly common.

I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.

It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.

Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?

I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.

This is like asking how we decide that your cock isn’t visible through your pants. Learn to be modest, I don’t know.

No wayyy…

Hey! Stop putting ranch in your carry-ons! That ranch belongs in your checked bags only unless it’s under 3.5 ozs, or about 13.5 sucks worth. You’re allowed to suckle, but only a little bit.

By himself?

I came here to say this exact same thing! Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Cravings for Mexican food and for taco bell will not satisfy each other because they’re not the same thing.

!!
Wait, this is cool, I can learn

They don’t choose to, but they’re choosing not to now because they can’t afford it?

Poor people don’t have children?

Everything in your life is done for money. Every music record, every pithy article, every donation fund, every non-profit.

If you think that Ben is doing so disproportionately, then say so.

There is nothing I find more irritating than this weasely, faux-innocent JAQing from people who just happen to dislike the person currently leading the charge.

it’s fucked that it took Legos to do so,

Your contempt for the meager simpletons you must suffer the indignity of standing shoulder to shoulder with is not doing us any favors. Leave it at the door.

I also think it’s pretty fucked that it took a Lego collection to wake people up

I imagine this is deeply contemptuous to you, but this is the kind of thing that gets people invested in politics.

For one, there could be a lot of young people here who missed BLM.

For two, the typical person is really fucking cynical. It may just be that this lego thing actually feels achievable, whereas state-sanctioned murder is like… even BLM didn’t accomplish anything.

I understand that this may be embarassing for you, that it’s about legos, but where there is energy, you should lean into it. There are people who care now about what these police are doing, so be the voice in their ear that guides them beyond this one incident.

Make an accusation or don’t, stop being a coward.

What if he has really powerful lungs?

Why is googling it the alternative?
