Everything you just said is a lie made up to sell self-help books to suckers.

Actually narcissistic people don't care about that, because narcissistic people aren't sexually attracted to anyone. Narcissus rejected everyone who made moves on him. That's why, at 16, he was put to death by the gods for not loving anyone.

You don't overcome a lifelong disability. You learn to live with it and work around it. You think all people with NPD are abusers. What, you think neurodivergence is cured when a person learns mindfulness? No, even if they are 100% on top of their mental health, they still have a disability. They are still targeted by the slur you're using.

You need to provide a path for people with NPD to recover, by believing that someone can be healthy, happy, and safe to be around and still have the disability. Because if you don't believe it, how do you expect them to believe it? And if they don't believe they can get better and be treated better, how can they possibly try?

Oh, they meant Trump has a psychosocial disability? They're insulting a right wing politician using an ableist slur that serves to increase stigma against a vulnerable population?

There's no such right as unbiased news, you spambot

Someone forgot to scrub their SI

Hey it's the "centrism is unbiased" bot.

Donald Trump is not asexual.

Don't leave your SI lying around like that

Koko the gorilla would beg to differ

That's not a laser pistol. Star Wars blasters are plasma weapons. Brush up on your lore if you're gonna nitpick.

Okay, so I said abstaining increases the amount of genocide, voting D decreases it. You said that's not true, Trump wouldn't bomb West Bank. I pressed you to state it explicitly, you walked that claim back. I am now going to treat the debate on D being better than R as settled.

America uses the First Past The Post voting system. FPTP suffers from the spoiler effect, which guarantees that regardless of your political affiliation or the specifics of the situation, voting third party always harms your interests. This has been mathematically and experimentally proven. Voting third party is, in terms of consequences, the same as abstaining.

Therefore, in terms of consequences, you are risking more Palestinian lives than I am.

So your argument right now is that Trump is less genocidal than Kamala? You're saying abstaining is the correct decision in terms of lives lost, and specifically in terms of the tangible outcome, because Trump is less likely to fund or participate in Netanyahu's genocide than Kamala Harris?

Ah, see, that trick isn't going to work on me because I know what you're doing. Earlier in this conversation I said voting is the thing you do if you care about middle eastern lives. You didn't challenge me on that. You were very argumentative, but you didn't question that assertion. That's because the evidence is in my favour. You ignored me saying that to avoid drawing attention to it. Then, when it seemed forgotten, you suddenly went on the attack and called me a racist, and said being a centrist is what you do if you care about Palestinians. That's not true. If you abstain, you risk Trump bombing the West Bank. If you vote for Kamala, she forces Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire and stop the deaths in Gaza.

You didn't defend yourself when I called you a racist because you don't have a defence. You only have an attack. You can call me a racist using your clown logic, but you can't argue against the fact that your choice kills more Palestinians. You're just trying to attack harder than I did and hope I make myself look guilty by denying it. Well, my defence is very simple, I'm trying to stop the genocide. And you're choosing to do absolutely nothing to prevent the genocide from getting worse.

No, I can't vote in American elections because I'm not a resident or a citizen. This isn't about me feeling good, I can't take any action in the election and therefore I don't have a dog in that fight. No, my dog in the fight is my partner, who lives in America. They're trans and I don't want them dead. That's my motivation for trying to prevent a genocide. That, and a general sense of universal ethics.

Yep, you got my position straight. See, the difference is whether they're taking action to mitigate the impact of their taxes. If you do nothing, it's your fault. If you try to make it right as best you can, it's not your fault.

Like I said, these non voters think votes turn into bombs and not dollars. They think every bomb dropped on Gaza has a little ballot slip in it with Joe Biden's name on it. Us leftists know that votes for the best candidate do not make the problem worse.

You're right. The people who put their principles above Palestinian lives aren't left wing. They're centrists. An actual leftist puts helping others first. Voting Democrat reduces the harm that others suffer. Abstaining does nothing to help anyone. But there are some people who will choose to let brown people in the middle east die, when they could have easily prevented it, if it means they get to have clean hands and avoid some kind of misplaced guilt. They think for some reason that a vote equals a bomb, and that choosing to be a centrist means opting out of responsibility for their government's actions. They think they can live all alone in their white middle class suburban bubble. That their inaction means they can't have any of the blame laid at their feet. They pay taxes to the US government, which uses the taxes to buy bombs to kill Palestinians, and these centrists think that choosing not to take responsibility for how their tax dollars are spent makes them guiltless. And that taking on a guilty conscience by accepting responsibility, is a bigger price to pay than genocide and war.

This is a political post. It even says libertarian in the title. The meme uses the word "liberal" and threatens violence to people based on the political freedom of their operating system. You chose to click on it, you chose to read it and continue reading, and you chose to go to the comments to talk about it. Now you're complaining that politics are suddenly involved. Sorry buddy, it's time to take some personal responsibility for your own decisions. You made a choice and now you're complaining that you have to see what you clicked on this meme to see. There's nothing I or anyone else can do to protect you from seeing the things you deliberately click on.

BZ was never Subnautica 2. It was a spinoff produced by a different team. It was originally supposed to be an expansion for the first game, but it got big enough they decided to release it standalone.
