  • If that is the case why are they allowed to own a pet or have a kid?

    The psychology of abusers of any kind is well beyond my understanding. Far as the "why are they allowed, obviously it’s they haven’t been caught or enforcement didn’t do their job right. Laws are weak, enforcement is selective… and unfortunately the people who do enforce, have a tendency to be the kind of people that are more likely to sympethise with finding enjoyment of exerting control of people or animals that are not in a position to fight back.




  • Lets be fair, no woman can make a guy have an affair…

    The real praise goes to Ethan Klein, for taking down Ethan Klein. Best thing he ever did.

    Much like Jimmy Carr’s old joke. You can say a lot of bad things about Hitler, but you have to admit one accomplishment that if anyone else did it it would be considered such a good thing that it can erase almost anything bad… He killed Hitler.






  • in fairness though, photoshop is the worse example of this theoretical concept to begin with. From what I’ve seen from everyone who’s used it, vibe coded photoshop is basically buggy, unreliable. doesn’t really do a good job beyond the most basic features, mimics the interface pretty well and that’s about it.

    Now there certainly is a factor to note, IE from what I’ve heard it’s ability to plagerize games is actually getting close enough that several developers are canceling previews and showings of their games, out of fear of AI clones of their game beating the real one to market. Not really sure in the examples of AI clones happening it’s that engines are easier to de-compile and actually fully rip off, or perhaps just the concept that in the game world workable ideas designed in a good way is the hard part, the code itself is often fairly simple, at least assuming they don’t have the budget to write their own engine from scratch.

    I do have to question the core concept though, consider this just me trying to make sense of the logic. I’ll admit I’ve only understood the 2 ends of the camp, I was raised a fundamentalist, and really didn’t have much of a mid point from that to atheism.

    To me the idea there is like saying “I’m a big fan of Darth Vader”, but I’m not a fundamentalist, I know star wars isn’t literally true, I don’t consider him to have blown up planets or built death stars.

    IE then comes the question. There’s only star wars materials to even imply a vader ever existed, and if you don’t believe in that… in what meaningful way does vader exist? Or more importantly how do you know ANYTHING about him. IE what does it mean to “believe in darth vader”, but I don’t think he did most if any of the things in star wars.

    I could see “I believe in a god, but don’t think there is any way to know anything about him, I just feel like the world was made”, that I can understand. But the second you slap the label of an existing religion, how do you not inherit the baggage as well. Because well what else is there, why would I assume the bible has more godly information than the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. If I’m not ascribing something in it to be believed to be true. Whether you go with the moral parable or literal truth, say a story where god tells his people to go into a city and kill all the men women and children, and they refuse and god punishes them until they do… whether it’s true or not, the moral of that story is “do what god says, even if your personal morals tell you it’s horrible”. The message is what’s awful today.

    Mentioned in a different post on that, but I did phrase my statement badly

    IE I meant to say I find the concept of a mixed marriage in the case of people who believe, salvation = belief, and those who don’t believe are damned, is crazy. not to imply all religious believe salvation = belief.
