... your only reasonable recourse is to nope right out the nearest window and run screaming down the street. Don't look back, don't turn around, just keep going until your parent's existence stops being a thing you can notice. Maintain that distance afterwards.

... well, I just stood outside watching a kitten chase its tail for... about fifteen minutes. Straight. It was still going when I got tired of staring and went back inside. It was a very insistent kitten...

Yeah, but probably not in my lifetime. At most, I might get to see some of the coastal areas go under. That's not enough. It all has to go.

But... If they wanted to watch them with me... That's fine.
Not that they're anything special to me! They're dumb! Really dumb!
Whatever!
Well, you're assimilating the tsun outlook quite nicely, at least.

Also you lie, neo. It's entirely possible to cook a steak for 18 hours without burning it. Just gotta' use low temperatures. There's more than one preparation method that calls for slow cooking. Thing tends to not be particularly coherent afterwards, but it's doable.

What makes you hate Florida so much?
I live there. It has no redeeming features it wouldn't still have several dozen feet below the ocean surface. Everything about it is misery, from the weather, to the culture, to the terrain, to the location, to the wildlife, to the economy. All of it. The only even remotely decent parts about it are either underground, underwater, or both, and they'd still be there (probably in new and interesting configurations!) if you sunk it.

Look, isp, all I want to do is burn down the swamp and sink it into a bigger swamp. Other people will be appointed to handle the micromanagement, while I oversee ending florida as a physically coherent entity. I win, the world wins, anyone who cared about florida can get the psychiatric help they have long needed as part of the relocation process. Everyone wins! The dictatorship part is just because it'd take the resources of a major power to pull the project off. The interim would indeed be stressful, but think of how much better off the world would be without florida. That's worth the trouble.

... increased education is good, but even less emphasis that not engaging in sexual acts is okay is... not something I'd want to see. Abstinence should be mentioned, that it's acceptable (not necessary, or even necessarily desirable, but that it's okay) to not engage should be emphasized, because even in abstinence heavy education systems there's not nearly enough people saying that.

Abstinence only is braindead, though, and the existence of lower-issue alternatives that still involve intimacy is, indeed, something that should probably be mentioned. But one thing that line of education really needs is more of a line saying that not getting involved in sexual acts is okay. Not necessary, as per abstinence only stupidity, but acceptable. Lotta' youngin's (and not-youngin's) do really stupid shit because they've internalized the message that if you're not fooling around, something is wrong with you. Value neutral, information high, is the sort of thing ideal for a sex ed program. That we're currently mostly value biased and information low doesn't mean it's a good idea to just fix one of those aspects, heh.

Yeah, note the "had", siru. Started phasing out during the late 80s, finished phasing out during the late 90s. You may wiki at your leisure.

10% of the country's yearly GDP would be dedicated to detaching florida from the continental US and relocating its population. Once accomplished, the entire landmass would be burnt down to the bedrock and the funds repurposed towards undercutting the remains of the state and collapsing the entire thing into the ocean.

I'm not sure what else I'd do, but that would be my first unilateral act as dictator.

I have a question:

How many people here arguing for Christianity are believers, and how many are playing Devils advocate?
Most of the people that've been arguing in its general favor have been... well, if not believers (We've got a catholic agnostic/atheist in here, iirc), then at least professed christians. Not been many devil's advocates, heh.

re: bet: I put 2 death gems on me being the first to die, you threw in from a pair of water. I... didn't, and no one else bet, so I figure we split it.

And yeah, I'd wager there's... probably twenty, twenty-five BVC carriers roaming around the south continent right now? Near as I can tell, several of us down here have had just enough death to not really be able to do anything better with it than invest in popkill.

So people did. South continent is... not a nice place to live anymore :V

Giant nations that got squished don't get to snark.

... speaking of which, I wasn't the first one to die. No one else got in on the betting, so... I guess we would split the pot, IP? I send a death gem, you send a water?

Hey, look on the bright side -- your scout can probably reliably take 1 PD provices! Maybe even a few points more. That's actually fairly useful.
