For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    “…I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.”

    We do a lot of things that aren’t natural but still benefit us or others. On the flip side, rape, pedophilia and murder are all “natural”—that is to say, they happen in other species of animals—and yet most of us would probably condemn more than 0 of those.

    “You wouldn’t deny a lion its prey” is a terrible take, I absolutely would if I could. The major difference is that lions are: obligate carnivores, don’t speak english nor understand human morality, and-more importantly—known to kill humans for getting too close. If I could save a gazelle and make sure the lion doesn’t starve, I’d absolutely train them to eat garbanzelles and zebrussels.

    “And as long as we do that ethically… Instead the focus should be on ethical…”

    How does one even form a system of ethics when the fundamental premise is not the sanctity of life? Seriously, what’s the point of following any rules if I can just kill anyone who takes exception to my behavior?
