At first when I saw this image, I immediately waited for her to crawl out of the well.

I wish every human experienced a high level of empathy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think there has been an active plan orchestrated by powerful and wealthy individuals to tear us apart ("united we stand and divided we fall" mentally) and part of this plan is killing the empathy in people

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think it was because we put lead in gasoline personally. I don't know about orchestrated, I think human greed has existed for a very long time. Empathy is something that requires a high level of intelligence.

Lead is probably why right wing media is overtly aggressive.

I think they would morph into whatever if the populace was decidedly more docile.

You miss the point if you try to attribute authoritarianism to one single cause. The dominant force will always try to subvert all others in autocracy.

Christianity, for example, can be anything. You can be a selfless servant of God "spreading the good news" and evangelizing the meek with Christian morality. You can also be a tyrant enacting gods wrath on the soulless heathens.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure she needs a VCR. Her pool of victims is vanishingly small.

Let me guess, if I swallow a pearl and trip in, I'm gonna find a big titted centapede?

[–] corsicanguppy 2 points 13 hours ago

HUMAN-o-centipede

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If you swallow 2 pearls, you'll find the millipede. Yes, also big titted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Do tell more!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

I wish you well

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

A ladder. If it's famous there's bound to be a good chunk of change down there.

I’ll just vacuum up all of those coins real quick. Just make sure nobody knows I did that, deal?
