I’m here with your regular reminder that is you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

I would say capitalism is the cancer, but conservatism sure supports it.

Once the midterms are over and it’s truly lame-duck time, we’ve heard the gloves will be off

The gloves aren’t already off? The masks are off. Is this how they behave with gloves on?

Which one is the psycho, and which one isn’t?

Neither. I’m pretty sure therapists are not using “how do you play The Sims” as a diagnostic tool, and if you think the situation you laid out is enough to diagnose anything about a person that just shows how woefully misinformed you are on the topic.

A number of individuals individually deciding that your post is stupid, irrelevant, or off topic does not a hivemind make.

“Appeal to Popularity/Appeal to the Masses” is also not a compelling or interesting argument.

If there are good reasons for your religion to say something or for “everyone” to agree with something then state those reasons instead of vaguely implying their existence.

You are being downvoted because your argument is shit, not because people are “allergic to morals”.

The guy on the YouTube video or online forum will more like have comments stating they are wrong if their information is incorrect. The AI will keep insisting it is correct even if pushed.

It’s because Appeal to Authority is a poor argument, especially when other people don’t recognize the authority you are appealing to.

“My religion says you can’t do X” will never be a compelling argument or recieved well.

Especially when you can get locked out of ultimate weapons if you don’t back track early enough. I replayed recently and was waiting to get the airship before back tracking for missed chests and jecht spheres, and by that point I kept running into Dark Aeon bullshit randomly.

Needs to be pointing that gun at his foot.

At least when I’m trying to fix something in Linux the OS itself isn’t trying to fight me.

It’s all about the design philosophy. Linux is made by volunteers, but their goal is functionality for the user. Windows has a lot of funding, but their goal is more profits for the shareholders.

“Law and order? Sorry, best I can give you is sea linoing.”

Also the “doll modding” community is a thing that exists and takes a lot of skill to do well.

Meanwhile AI Bros are reinventing “thinking” by imagining what an LLM might say to them.

Either way he’s being a very public and vocal supporter of Palestine. This is a good thing and we need more of it.

And the tax payers can pay for it, the arresting officer can get some paid leave, no one involved in the decision will face any consequences for it, and it has still provided a chilling effect on anyone else who wants to speak out.

That’s actually a really good idea. If it takes an entire police force hours to confront a rando with a gun actively threatening people, how hard of a time are they going to have with 1 or 2 people trained in security that actually know the fucking law?

Trump is not a reliable partner but he will be dead soon

But you can’t rely on the US being a reliable partner at all then. In 4 years the citizens could just vote in someone just as unreliable as Trump who will throw away previous agreements on a whim. They’ve already done it twice, and it’s clear the US has no mechanism in place to make sure it holds to previous agreements.

I did not mean to drag specific US politics into this at all,

Which is part of my issue. The article is specifically about US politics, and you don’t want to talk about US politics, instead you go on a tangent about other countries.

A contributing factor to the issues in the US is that Americans seem to be unable to stay on topic about anything long enough to take action. Trump does something that would have ended the political career of any other president, but before anything is done about it you’re taking about the next thing, and then the next thing, and the first thing is already forgotten.

Here we are talking about the impact of the actions the US government is currently taking, and Americans start taking about how other countries might start doing it in the future. On another article that was about a far right party in another country I saw Americans talking about “all the people who told us to take action…” Making it about America. It’s never about the actual topic.

Yes, I realize it’s “not all Americans”, but it is “always an American”. And I don’t mean when it happens it’s an America doing it, I mean every time an article is posted about the shitstorm happening in the US there is always an American pointing out that the far right exist elsewhere. It gets so fucking old and it isn’t helpful. People know. Pointing out the nightmare happening in the US does not mean people are unaware of the far right in their own countries, and talking about what is happening in the US is more helpful to encourage people to prevent it happening in their own countries because they can see where it leads.
