I'd say it's a stretch given the nature of first past the post two party elections and strategic voting. But who knows. Anything could happen.

It's not so bad being the worst player on the team. Just means you have a lot of room for improvement as long as you're willing to learn. Honestly it's one of my favorite situations to find myself in. "Oh I suck. How can I get better?"

Gotcha. I guess I don't really see "God" as a sentient being exclusively, so applying characteristics to him has always been a challenge.

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone's name if they're being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it'd be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

I'm not trying to be funny, but would you also characterize "nature" as being an asshole?

I'm using the same structure as the original comment to make it easier to compare/contrast.

The fact that it's causing you mental unrest means you need to report to the main office for a Voight-Kampff test. The tortoise lays on its back, it's belly baking in the hot sun trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

No, see. Tooth decay, carnivorousness, and everything else were seen as neither good nor bad until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and gained consciousness. Prior to that, everything was still absolute chaos, but without a knowledge of good and evil there was no way to make value judgements.

Things are the same as they've always been. The only thing that has changed is your perception.

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I'd argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is "this" or "that" is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don't think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.

Pachycephalasaurus has always been on of my favorites.

It makes way more sense in the context of this comic.
