Orangutans and chimps use spears.

Orangutans use spears to hunt fish.

Chimps wage wars against eachother. Full on wars, with designated battlegrounds.

Reply to Having a day off to do nothing is considered bad if you’re depressed but good if you’re not depressed by themetahumancrusader

I wouldn't judge someone for having a day off to just relax, to help recharge their brain. If anything I need to take more time off myself.

The difference is how you see it. You're framing it as a day of nothingness, whereas you should frame it as a free day to be filled with whatever you want.

I won't even slightly implying it has to be a productive something either - sit down and play a videogame, relax and binge a show/movie, take a walk outside, cook yourself a nice treat, if you think it'd put a smile on your face, do it!

Having as little as a rock in your hands makes you a deadly weapon. This is why we open our hands.

Could work. Reagan signed gun control legislation in the 80's because groups like the black panthers started carrying.

How is it possible to care about such issues and not be compassionate?

The only thing I can think of is people using certain social issues to turn a profit, like companies changing their logos to rainbow for Pride Month. But that's not caring about the issues, that's them using the issues to turn a profit, not the same thing.

Media companies aren’t responsible for providing solutions. We, the people, are responsible for providing solutions to our problems by way of our elected officials.

When everyone is "woke", the ones who are actually woke are the ones who aren't "woke".

It's the same shit as feminism, the American and internet political culture will change its common meaning by perverting its ideas and applications into something wrong. Being woke is good, being part of "woke culture" is bad.

Similar thing happened with gun laws in California in the 1960s. Gun control laws were passed after the Black Panthers decided they wanted to arm themselves.

Nah. Most serial killers just became cops for the camouflage and protection.

That's an interesting observation, and an important conversation to have. We need to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally, regardless of race or background. It's time for us all to come together and work towards making our communities safer, stronger and more unified.

I stopped watching all news on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox about 3-4 years ago. Life is better without it.

They aren’t the same though, Molly is similar to meth, but is also hallucinogenic, they have similar properties, but you wouldn’t say that all carbon dioxide is air, but not all air is carbon dioxide, they’re classified differently because they are different.
