It's interesting, because the idea is basically that knowledge and ideas should be constructive, so as not to pollute the sum of human knowledge.

So that raises the question, what is the constructive conclusion to "memetic effluent"? Without one, is the concept itself an example of such effluent?

That's why you just say, "good thanks," and NEVER EVER ask them in return.

Many people ask how someone's day is because they actually want to tell you about their day. And the normal thing is for people to return the question. So you get trapped into listening to someone complain about their day because you retuned their small talk.

Instead, just don't engage in the small talk by answering but not asking in return.

A lot of people get pretty put off by it, but they're either not able to articulate why, or they realize that "but you didn't ask me about my day!" is a stupid thing to be mad about. So the end result is those people find a different victim who's attention they can consume, and I am spared.

If you're really interested then just ask about someone's hobbies. What do they like to do in their spare time?

Opening with sports is a great way to make me never want to talk to you. Instead of trying to guess what they like, just ask them.

Found the German.

Pro tip: never ask a German "how's it going?" They don't see that sentence as a greeting, it is a legitimate question that they will answer in excruciating detail.

You're definitely going to run into a size limit before you hit the weight limit with something that light and bulky.

Better math would be to measure the dimensions of a case and count how many cases fit on a standard 3' x 4' pallet stacked eight feet high.

Don't seen any of the white breads who control the company giving him a goddamn raise either, do you

One, I don't believe it has to be that way. With enough taxes on the wealthy, regulation on commerce, and social programs for the poor, I think a system of fairness can be achieved.

Two, I don't believe that communism of any form result in a sense of fairness for anyone. I believe most humans have an innate desire to work to improve their lives, and I don't believe communism offers the same freedom and opportunities for self improvement through honest work that can be offered by tightly regulated capitalism in combination with strong social programs.

I do too, except it's billionaires instead of capitalism.

I believe in capitalism, it just needs to be very tightly controlled and heavily skewed in favor of the disadvantaged to keep it fair.

Has piped ever actually worked for you? I try to watch something on piped every couple weeks on desktop, and regularly on mobile because of the bot, and the videos ... just don't play. It's just never worked.

I'm on your side. Your rule makes sense, and what other people are doing doesn't make sense.

Stick to your rule and tell everyone else they're wrong.

So the exact same reaction that men the world over have when women start demanding equal rights.

Because Korea in general has been historically misogynistic

There's nothing particularly Korean about this. Basically every culture is historically misogynistic, the exceptions are few and far between and are generally romanticized based on limited information.

The exact same reactions took place in America 100 years ago during women's suffrage, and are taking place again now with the abortion debacle.
