      What do you mean? They just ask Jesus for forgiveness at the 11th hour and bing bang boom, eternity in heaven. The 'ol Christianity grift. Didn’t you know that’s how morality and cosmic justice works?

    Jury nullification for Luigi. Anything else is injustice.

      Death panels are fine, provided the reason is pure profit. Apparently.

        Yeah. I guess the problem was the government making the decision… Having a handful of greedy assholes who view you as a slave is waaaaaaay better…

    CEOs want to kill you because you’re not cost-effective.

    Which ones? Doesn’t matter, to some corporation somewhere - you’re useless to them. Or worse, you cost them a tiny amount of money.

    Corporations don’t have empathy. They will kill you instantly. Nobody at that company will ever care. It’s all about the profit, always has been.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
