[23:13:26] <exec> 08└─The Mexican cartels have carried out successful espionage of Los Alamos' nuclear reasearch and now know a new, even more destructive radioactive element. They named it...Putonium.

[23:13:47] <exec> 08└─I think you have it backward. Everything causes global warming. That is, everything people do. We're to blame. Not volcanoes, or cow farts, or the sun. Just people. People are bad. We have too many people. We'd actually have a lot more today, except those who really believe this stuff enough to take...

[23:14:06] <exec> 08└─I consider MTG to be poorly designed in the grand scheme of things. Yes, it's a very complex game, but it is also a very complicated game--that is, it has a metric shitton of rules/cards. A well-designed game is complex and interesting with a minimum number of rules. Take, for example, chess, shogi,...

[23:16:10] <exec> 08└─I don't think it's possible to have a "totally flat" chest, whatever that means. I mean, physiologically, as a skinny male, I don't have a totally flat chest either (pectoral muscles). Likewise, even the most skinny and flat woman is bound to have some chest, by virtue of physiological, post-puberty...

[23:16:11] <exec> 08└─I fail to see how SJWs shrieking about video games is anything other than a case of "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE". If there's such a vast, underserved market for SJW-compliant video games (as this summary suggests) then perhaps instead of trying to re-educate gamers they should be, you know, makin...

[23:16:43] <exec> 08└─I highly doubt that all rapists consider their victims "object", or "sex objects". I also dislike how most arguments from champions of social justice almost immediately turn toward ad hominem accusations of rape or support of rape (mental rape, implied rape, race rape, verbal rape). Godwin's Law nee...

[23:16:51] <exec> 08└─>Have you ever known a guy who could carry on a conversation reasonably well with other guys, but couldn't talk to women? That's a part of what people are talking about when they say somebody sees women as "sex objects." So men who are shy around women think that women are sex objects? That's the st...

[23:17:03] <exec> 08└─Canada could build a nuke sooner than Iran, and has natural reserves of uranium, to boot. Stop spreading this shit and giving it mindshare. It's warmongering, a constant litmust test to find out when the American people stop caring enough, so they can bomb at will and steal their shit. Um, I mean, i...
