So you think in order for people to not work their lives away we would have to take up subsistence farming? With all the tech and machines we have the only viable way to not be a company man is to give away all of the luxuries we currently have?
How’s that Kool aid tasting?
The dude mentioned a medical disability, stated he couldn’t eat solid food or cook and you assume he can drive and then criticize him for delivery? He didn’t spell out that he couldn’t drive but it was pretty obvious if you read the post… Say sorry and move on buddy. You’re in the wrong and look like an incel loser when you continue to double down.
Look buddy, I’m from the south and this is a talking point for Confederate sympathizers. This train of thought has no substance to it. The civil war didn’t just happen to people, slavery did. People did what they had to do to get out and there’s nothing authoritarian about that. You’re not being more intelligent than everyone else and you’re not the smartest person in the room like this gentleman would like you to believe, you’re being gullible.
Neither side. You break it in half. Am I the only person that does this?
I imagine it being more academic. It would take an enormous amount of power to create a simulation like this so my guess is, the civilization running the simulation has a much better understanding of the universe and rather than experimenting in their own world they created one. I also like the idea of a future civilization discovering humans after we have gone extinct and having enough information to create a simulation to watch it happen.
Getting your finger stuck in the VCR because the videotape would not eject. You had to stick your finger in and poke the tape while mashing the eject button. Worked everytime. Also pushing rewind on a tape and walking away because someone forgot to rewind and you don’t want to watch the video in reverse.

Tune in, turn on, burn out
Don’t get cheap toilet paper, buy a bidet. The initial investment seems like a lot but I’ve had one for 8 years and I go through a roll or 2 a month now. Worth the investment.
MAMACITA
This is the time and place for that silly factoid.
But the question you asked was about a vegan diet.
The difference is complex chemical reactions. These complex reactions could be “sentience” but it’s the number of reactions and how they all work together to accomplish goals beyond their singular function.
Plants perceived communicating is due to adaptation and evolution to protect themselves from predators and fire. They did not develop communication skills like an animal would have to also protect itself. Perception and interaction are not communication.
My all time favorite is Blood Waters of Dr. Z. It is unhinged from beginning to end in the best kind of way. The story is bonkers, the special effects and makeup are awful and the acting is worse but it’s all so good.
And to all the people new to MST3K you get the obligatory Pod People recommendation.
