I have completely forgotten about what exactly Streisand was trying to hide. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the actual media she was embarrassed about.

That poor spherical cow doesn’t stand a chance

It is always ethical to steal from corporations.

Don’t steal from locally owned small businesses. Don’t steal from your community.

The wealth hoarders are stealing from you, however. Every single day, for as much as they can get away with. Take what they stole back.

I’m getting a breaking report here. Field reporters are telling me, sky blue. I’m not sure what this means, stay tuned for hourly updates

Yeah it sounds like he went to replace a Honda pilot with a CR-V. Maybe a Passport? It’s insane to think of somebody calling that a large car though.

“we’ve built a model based on charging an assload of money for features that barely work and China is making cheap cars that do the job better. Because, you know, the cheap bullshit we’ve been building. If you force us to compete again we’ll lose!”

These cars aren’t looking through the windscreen. They’re covered in sensors and probably use LIDAR system to navigate. They see in the dark and through fog.

It’s fairly obvious where the sensors are located looking at the car. And because these cars are dumb as hell, it takes relatively little to disrupt their ability to tell the difference between say, a person the car has to stop for, and a cardboard cutout of Scott Bacula. Or a traffic cone, as another user mentioned though that particular exploit may have been patched out by now.

It may be that the particular animal he was hunting was an elder animal, no longer capable of reproducing or one that threatened the offspring of others. Generally, when they’re talking about ethical hunts, they’re referring to these specific animals. Allowing rich foreigners to come in and play Safari and pay to remove those animals is a great source of funding for conservation efforts.

It’s also possible he just fucking lied. Or he was lied to. Or he knew he was lied to and didn’t care.

Regardless of the actual truth, getting trampled by elephants is fitting.

I think ethical conservation hunting is great, and I think trampling stupid rich people to death is even better. How great would it be if both things happened?!

How do you define cruelty without God being real?

Pretty simply, do you require help knowing the difference between what is cruel and what is not? You might need psychiatric help my guy

How can you know for sure that God is apathetic or ignorant?

Because of the suffering of innocents. Any all powerful creature that allows suffering on the scale we are familiar with either doesn’t know about it, and is thus ignorant, or doesn’t care, and is thus apathetic. Perhaps this creature both knows and cares, in which case it is either powerless to stop it, and therefore not all powerful, or it is a cruel being, and not one by which to set your moral compass.

If there is no basis for objective morality at all,

There isn’t. Morality is a supposition.

we have no grounds to condemn other cultures for actions that go against our culture.

This relies on a number of assumptions which are mostly wrong. Am I condemning an entire culture or the actions of a few people? Do the people of that culture think this is a good idea? Are there members of that group that condemn this? Are those members represented? Is the practice being condemned harmful?

I would condemn cruelty happening abroad because I believe everyone is made in the image of God, and God’s commandment for all of Humanity was to love one and other. If God isn’t real, then why should I care what happens in other countries, if the only morality I have is based on my white, western culture?

So you require someone else to tell you what is right and what is not? Are you incapable of independent thought? Are you devoid of compassion and empathy?

An empathetic person would abhor the suffering of others without divine intervention.

Should God appear to you and demand you sacrifice your eldest son, would you begin sharpening your knife?

If there is no God, humans are just lumps of cells anyway, not too far removed from plants and animals.

We are not removed greatly from animals no. We are animals. We’re pretty far removed from plants though.

So why would it be my business what is going on abroad

Empathy my guy. I was kind of kidding before but now I’m actually concerned you lack basic emotional skills that are natural and innate to most people. That’s definitionally psychopathy, you might want to look in to that.

The US doesn’t recognize the ICC’s authority and so does not participate, and he’s currently being held in the Hague. I’m not sure there’s much Trump could do if he wanted to

I dunno man, I went through Yellowstone well before people had phones with them, and even people without cameras did this crap.

I saw more than one person have to get yanked back from approaching a moose protecting her calf. I saw people trudge in to the bush to spot a fucking black bear.

You could tell if some form of wildlife had been spotted as you drove around because there would be lines of cars parked and people standing around gawking.

Fun fact, Eric Garner was killed for illegally selling cigarettes. He was selling loosies outside of drug stores and owners had repeatedly complained about him doing that.

Ok. I’m stretching the definition of fun here. And, to be clear, I also don’t think there will be a huge black market for cigarettes with this law, just that there already is one, kind of.

Ok.

God isn’t real. If a being of infinite power does exist, it is apathetic, ignorant, or cruel.

If the source of your objective morality is a fairy tale, you have no basis for claiming your morality is objective, let alone accurate.

Can confirm. I heard it from a user who heard it from another guy who said he saw it online.

Objective morality isn’t real. If it were, you’d be able to prove it.

And it’s difficult to argue, coming from a deeply red area of the US that I’m coming from a culture that vilifies the death penalty.

The closest you’ll ever get to an objective moral truth is that you’re free to believe any fucking thing you want, but your rights stop at you. Imposing your beliefs on another living being is supremacy.

We watched Roots in the classroom, but only the episode where LaVar Burton gets brutalized by a whip for refusing to say his name was Toby.

We also got a foot note about John Brown, I had no idea he was a white guy and one of the coolest motherfuckers to walk this earth until I was an adult.

So Disneyland.

Cars should be outlawed, not weed.

Sober drivers kill more people every year than weed alone. If we had to choose between staying home and using weed to get high, or driving literally anywhere, the safest option is to stay home and get stoned.

There’s no such thing as objective morality. At some fundamental level you’re just deciding who benefits from your moral compass and who doesn’t.

144 people for about a week, per the article.

That’s like 1500 dollars of weed. Hardly worth attempting to smuggle it unless it’s for personal use for a good long while.
