So you really expect me to believe a lactating woman produces hormones?

Decent point. But then why send them back?

Why does everything need to have personal gain to matter at all. I get the whole "no actual evidence" part. But if we actually see aliens and you're not impressed, I don't think we can be friends. Don't blame capitalism, you're just lame. Sure, there are real problems, but people throughout history have had it far worse and still managed to care about things outside of their own tiny microcosm. Many people enjoy these things not in spite of but because of their personal struggles, as they can act as an escape for a short time. If you're going to have economic troubles anyway, why spend all your time dwelling in it?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand copypastas. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lando's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike copypastas truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Lando's existential catchphrase "I award you no upvotes," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Lando's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a copypasta tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Personally I won't mind marrying a woman that was any of those things. Preferably all three

Content leaving isn't a problem. If they give up some things they have more money to get the rights to other content, and usually by the time it leaves I've either watched it or don't want to. If it's one of the rare things I want to watch several times, I can just buy it. But cracking down on password sharing is ridiculous. They've been functioning fine with people sharing passwords. I bet the current pricing accounts for password sharing. But now people in college can't be on the family netflix? Pure greed.

But this is the no true scotsman fallacy. Is there any evidence that your definition of communism is possible to attain, without devolving into things similar to real world countries that attempted to become communist? And couldn't an ancap just as easily claim that all of the negative sides of capitalism are communist because they are all in some way a perversion of a freely negotiated deal?

Sure, but I don't think that a ribeye deserves the same untouchable nature as continuing the human species. Especially because if we get too many people choosing the child free route, suddenly your retirement plan will need to include a bullet. We don't have to all go full vegan, but would it be the end of the world to have a passing relationship with beans, or at least give the impossible whopper a try.

The whole world is interconnected, so it's hard to find anything that is the exclusive domain of one continent. Europeans aren't innately superior to the rest of the world, but they aren't innately inferior either. And even if they were, the idea that something only "counts" if you never interact with and learn from foreigners is a bizarre and arbitrary rule that goes against most of the important innovations throughout human history.

I would say that a species intelligent enough to believe in God could be divine. So I don't think orangutans or gorillas would be, but we have archaeologic evidence that Neanderthals had some form of religion, so they may also have souls.
