  • Violent bigots come in ever flavor. At a certain point, it's not worth the effort to suss out the source of their prejudices. It's an unanswerable question that leads to the same dissapointment in simple minded zealotry no matter their specific path.

    I'd rather spend time trying to understand the ones I respect instead of getting lost in the maze of a random scum.

  • About 20% I'd say. It used to be much higher, arounx80%, but pushing through the anexity of feeling like have nothing to contribute has helped improved my writing. Perhaps it's come with age, but I feel like it's much easier to make myself and my thought process understood by others. A younger me thought that logic and just "being correct" was enough to be persuasive, but that's just not how people work.

  • Tesla full self driving is no where close to ready and actively dangerous to any one around it, including and especially the occupants. But the autopilot is pretty convient and useful. I wish they would stop calling these patches "recalls", it's turning the term meaningless.

    Edit: β€œIf the driver attempts to engage Autosteer when conditions are not met for engagement, the feature will alert the driver it is unavailable through visual and audible alerts, and Autosteer will not engage,” the recall document states.

    Super reasonable stuff.

  • Now I'm not racist but...

    ... people that prefer the bottom number are a blight upon the world and should be sterilized and forced in to education camps.

  • I blame 50% William Gibson, and 50% Ridley Scott.

  • that people would β€œcelebrate” if it were fictitious.

    Well that's just delusional. How exactly did he make it this far while having trouble separating TV from reality?

  • Not even a little! You have a wonderful evening friend. β™₯ πŸ’•

  • Oh absolutely, this is a serious problem for some! I've read enough boar attack stories to know they are a legitimate threat. Cougar and wolf attacks are more common in my area, albeit rare overall. But all three animals are all very different than dogs, cats and pigs. Common ancestors sure, but absolutely very different today.

    Of course every human has the right to defend themslevss from animal attack. That's just a very different equation than buying bacon at the super market while ignoring the suffering of a pig that never left it's factory farm.

  • Well, this sort of thing is honestly above any social media's pay grade, so I will only tell you what I did after talking with my therapist

    I know how this feels and I'm sorry you are going through it too. After the only member of my family who was even remotely kind to me died (and even that was an abusive relationship), I cut off contact with everyone else related to me and my life has only improved. It's been about 6 years now but i am much happier for it, no judgement, no yelling, no control, life is just... quieter.

    You can't control how others act, and your father has had several decades to reconsider. At a certain point, you should just protect your own well being and go no contact.

    Being a part of your life is a privilege, not a right.

  • Fake for any of those wondering.

    But keeping employees based on how many lines of code they have written, which he did, is essentially the same logic.

  • Lol sure, but wealthy straight cis white men have always had full right to marry, arms, or vote. Every other group of people has had to argue for those freedoms, while others are considered the "default person".

    Do trans people vote for someone that will allow them Healthcare or the one calling their existance pedophilia? That's not a choice, but it's a position many trans people are uniquely in. Just as black Americans had to argue for their freedom, to vote, to self protection. Just as women have to vote and own property. Just as queer folk have to marry.

    Indifference to these situations means you're rights are so taken for granted that they will never be stripped away, so you are afforded the luxury of swing both parties the same

  • People have actually said this to me in full seriousness. Preemptive revenge killing against hypothetical wild pig attacks is apparently self defense, so that's why they eat pork from real captive factory farm pigs. It is such odd... "logic", clearly working backwards from the point they want to arrive at.

    Like srsly, it was something like a month ago on this very platform.

  • I'd be embarrassed to be on the same stream as Tate, Musk or Jones. Literally every single person on that list is aggressively terrible person. They've created basically an unintentional crabs in the bucket situation, these people can only associate with each other and they all drag each other down.

  • The privileged perspective of those that don't have their rights controlled by politics.

  • I don't give a dish.

  • Oh HECK yea!

    Mullins has a wonderful style and consistently puts out wonderful clever experiences. He is up there with Concernedape as my favorite devs.

  • Co-op would a antithesis to entire design of the game. Thw unique control scheme is central to its story. Two sons is a great single player game to wrap your head around what are fairly basic puzzles, but having two players would just be bland and generic, It was never intended for two people, and to make remake it as on would essentially be making a entirely separate game

  • That's nice. But since he wasn't elected and isn't part of the presidental cabinet why should anyone care?
