I feel like the biggest give away is that you'd notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

Gun laws are ineffective. There is zero correlation between gun deaths and strictness of gun laws. Despite limits and bans of short barreled rifles, "assault weapons", machine guns, etc, gun deaths have continually increased.

Gun bans are only effective where there already isn't violence, at which point it's redundant.

I believe the culprits behind widespread American violence are high rates of youth delinquency and gang related criminal activity.

Wouldn't it leak between the telescoping tubes of the main body (these are designed to collapse and extend)

They are very famous but it seems their country is rarely thought or discussed.

The Hu from Mongolia are great. A combination of traditional Mongol folk music, modern metal and famous for their Mongolian style gutteral singing.

I don't think there is a religion that can be overwhelmingly beneficial today.

Most religions already emphasize kindness, generosity and compassion but it is ultimately easily corruptable. Every religious group seemingly has to hate somebody.

Long ago it would have imperative to human development, to explain the world around us and to motivate people to work cooperatively. Science has fulfilled that role however and now it seems religion makes individuals closer minded, refusing to believe in reason.

If religious people sternly stuck to their principles (looking at American Christians) I don't even think we'd be having this conversation in the first place.

True. Imagine comparing the humour between a meatsicle vs just a hole.

This is way too accurate

I've advocate by doing. I work at a computer repair shop with honest rates, and transparent practices. I volunteer at repair cafés sharpening tools for free. This way you demonstrate directly towards them what you're doing and what companies are doing.

I can show customers that apple's ribbon cables are thinner than tissue paper, all of the freaking glue holding it together, the serialized components, the convoluted design, etc.

Whenever I speak about it outside of the repair shop people think I'm some conspiracy nut, but people will listen with the evidence right in front of them.
