You contradict yourself by saying that the natural order rules everything and humans have escaped it.

Besides, none of our technology has been around on a timescale meaningful to evolution. What your talking about is Social Darwinism.

What do you mean by natural order?

They won’t stop doing it. Think of how many live service games have failed. Are the investors going to stop drooling over that Fortnight $$? AAA game are made to please investors, not players.

Boiling everything down to econ101 serves to absolve the bad behavior or games companies as “rational actors” while placing the blame for shitty games practices on “stupid” gamers.

I hope somebody has an investigator crawling up her ass the way they did Fani Willis.

Fools are full of certainty. The wise are full of doubt.

During Koch-funded trips to mountain resorts,

I read that as “Dunning Kruger-funded trips” and that was a mistake, but it wasn’t wrong.

You Were Never Really Here (2017) Is a character study of what happens to people with exposure to repeated unresolved trauma and violence. It’s basically like director Lynne Ramsay made Joker, but for a sophisticated audience. It even stars Joaquin Phoenix!

Back on reddit I once mentioned that Star Trek was a Marxist post scarcity society in a center conservative sub. It wasn’t my point, I just mentioned it like mentioning the sky is blue. I got down-voted to oblivion and tens of replies ‘correcting’ me.

My happy thought is that pigs who end up in prison are doomed to serve that time in protective custody, which usually means solitary.

We should imprison way more police so that they could be housed together. It’d be more humane that way.

There was a golden moment, after the raid on Trump’s club, when reactionaries were openly calling to de-fund the FBI. Dems should have taken them up on that offer.

Whenever the FBI “disrupts” a terrorist plot. Until proven otherwise, I assume that the FBI masterminded the plot, provided all the materials and funding, then arrest the people they recruited. And you watch, now that focus has been shifted to reactionary terrorism, they’re going to do the same shit, except replace Islamist suckers for militia patsies. It’s important to remember this because these tactics shift resources to railroad dumbasses (easy) instead of investigating the actual threats (hard).

Strong arming Fikre to become a snitch reminds me of what happened to Randy Weaver.

I’ve always been pro nuclear. But what I’ve come to understand is that nuclear accidents are traumatizing. Anybody alive in Europe at the time was psychologically damaged by Chernobyl. Don’t forget also that the elder Xers and older worldwide lived under the specter of nuclear annihilation.

So you’ve got rational arguments vs. visceral fear. Rationality isn’t up to it. At the end of the day, the pronuclear side is arguing to trust the authorities. Being skeptical of that is the most rational thing in the world. IDK how to fix this, I’m just trying to describe the challenge pronuclear is up against.

It’s wild that some people would throw RGB under the bus rather than admit Left infighting in 2016 was a historic mistake.

Babylon has the right to defend itself.

That’s how I found out Ewrin was a pedo.

Why is the motive important? Is there a good reason?

There are real-life unironic evil Satanists. They’re Nazis and they (along with others) target children online, expose them to abhorrent content, convince them to self harm, exploit them sexually, and bully them to commit suicide. All for lols and clout.

This isn’t what Tuberville was talking about. He senses evil through vibes. Demons who support abortion, do sex in the butt, and worst of all: hate football.

This is a semantic argument.

Have you never felt smarter or dumber depending on the situation? If so, did your ability to think abstractly, apply knowledge, or manipulate your environment change? Intelligence is subjective (and colloquial) like beauty and humor.

Intelligence cannot be measured. It’s a reification fallacy. Inelegance is colloquial and subjective.

If I told you that I had an instrument that could objectively measure beauty, you’d see the problem right away.

It’s almost like the guns didn’t help.

Have you considered that that “fear of the populace” is an aggravating factor in police use of deadly force?

“They’ve got a gun” is license to kill Americans.

If the guns can protect people from the State, why don’t they?
