I sincerely want to move to a different planet.

Odds are, every other planet is full of dumbasses, too.

I like the politics of Planet Transexual.

The only moral option given these election results is to burn the entire US and hope the next people to arrive do a better job. A lot of innocent people are going to be caught in the inferno, but there seems to be no hope for them anyway given the country isn't entirely disgusted by and unwilling to put up with the party of children in cages, legislating people to death, and monetizing human suffering. Maybe Belgium can fund the escape of everyone with a conscience or something.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

You expressed horror at eleven people being shot in Pittsburgh, yet now you easily sentence 300 million to being burned to death, and declare this to be moral.

I don't think you and I are going to be friends.

That was an extreme exaggeration, which has been a thing in these parts for a very long time from what I know. Apologies that I wasn't entirely clear that that wasn't a literal statement of my beliefs.

EDIT: I am genuinely pretty alarmed that this was mistaken for a serious statement, thinking it over. I cannot understand how the mistake was made, considering that it's completely inconsistent with all of the values outlined in the post itself and with those I've espoused prior. The only sort of person who could seriously say such a thing is an absolute monster by any sane standards.

I can't believe I have to say this but, uh, I DON'T SUPPORT GENOCIDE. Christ.

There's maybe three newsfeed worthy statements here. Well done!

It's not genocide if it's an "Act of God".

How about this: I would rather minimize human death and suffering in general. Does that better capture my meaning here than simply "opposition to genocide"?

Hi.

Let me tell you about myself.

My hobbies include applying an absurdly literal interpretation to statements (sometimes for comedic effect, sometimes just to be annoying), and poking at people when they've dropped their guard, just to see what happens.  I also have a propensity to pounce whenever I perceive a hint of inconsistency.

Thank you for making this entertaining.

Sorry. I'm under a pretty large amount of stress currently between personal life and the political Hindenburg we have going on, so I'm rather more fragile than I'd like to be.

Even if I wasn't, I apparently have a knack for making ambiguous statements and having no capability for making it clear when I'm serious or not, offline and on. So it was kind of an existing exposed nerve anyhow.

Glad you enjoyed yourself at least.

Edit: Belatedly realized I should clarify: that's not a sarcastic response in the least. It's better someone got some entertainment out of a basically harmless act than everyone involved feeling like an awkward, guilty asshole.

This way it's just me feeling that way, and that's basically my default state.
