I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

Good find.

I don't like coffee, like, at all, but that doesn't mean that other people can't derive enjoyment from coffee and that their claims of enjoyment are all lies. I'd be pretty solipsistic to believe otherwise.
