About effingwewt

From California, US. Just a guy. Lurker, usually prefer to read than engage, I can get too aggressive. I don't care about hurt feelings, not even my own. Egalitarian. I stand with no political party. Jaded. An asshole is the appropriate term, I believe.

    I once heard it said that we don't have a justice system, we have a legal system. Don't recall who or where but it always stuck with me.

    You did make the argument when you made people who eat meat complicit and assume they share in the company's guilt. I think most if not all of us can agree Tyson is evil, there is …

    Right, there weren't entire montages about him building them by himself. And that's just the movies, the comics went way deeper. Terrible take this time, I'm afraid.

    Stop using Occam's razor like some literal law. It's a stupid and lazy philosophical theory bandied about like some catch-all solution. Like when people say 'the definition of insa…
