Maybe there’s more context here that I’m missing, but from what I can see…

If you don’t want to argue, stop typing or block them. Real childish pot stirring behaviour going on there. You can’t try and get the last word in by saying “don’t respond to my criticism.”
I think I was thinking of plebchan. From what I can tell, it’s based off plebbit, which looks to be the same stack that seedit uses.
IIRC, someone was talking about their p2p text only 4chan clone recently. I forget what it was called though.
Edit: found it.
The popo using cybertrucks would really be the cherry on the techno-feudalist hellscape cake.
Whoa there… We eat mold too if they’re the right type and on the right things.
I mean, I’d be happy enough to cede our allegiance as a commonwealth colonial power, as it’s kinda gross. But since we still are, we might as well use it to our advantage.
If we can broker some favour and some sort of potential defense pact from the rest of the commonwealth nations against the US’s declared hostile intentions, then why not use it to our advantage?
Soft power is still power.
I feel like you’re kinda agreeing with me here. You’re absolutely right that racism is institutionalised. The question is how much and how do you hold individuals accountable for an institutional problem?
One way racism often occurs is casually and lazily, with insufficient thought given. But the average American has been trained to be intellectually lazy and incapable of sufficient thought.
The other way racism occurs is through think tanks and cold calculated planning with the aim of the wealthy (mostly white) owning class pushing an agenda.
To me it seems the only possible ways out, if there even are any, is to a) fight institutional indoctrination or b) fight (ala Luigi) the people pushing the indoctrination. In neither of these solutions does directly fighting the indoctrinated people help whatsoever, and if anything it’s exactly what the owning class wants.
Why would they think that way? Could it have something to do with fox news and various influencers stoking fear by whispering in their ear that immigrants are violent?
Doesn’t the obvious disparity in their logic point away from simple xenophobia, and more towards them being indoctrinated members of a cult?
I’m not saying kid gloves are the answer, if they act like fascists they need to be punched like fascists. But if they want to turn their back on their cult, we should also make that path as easy as we can.
Oh, I’ve never been married before. What are we doing for the honeymoon?

Wilson said that for the past five years he had asked 300 first-year criminology students to raise their hand if they had watched a beheading video online. “All of them have,” he said, adding that this prevalence was reflected in an increase in these crimes.
Yeah, this passage in particular was a bit of a head scratcher. Like, you could pick any societal change since the adoption of the internet and say the same thing. If anything it indicates the opposite.
To be fair, you’re only going to be tortured if you don’t help out like good old Sergey here.
Sacrifice the few to potentially save the many? That’s some dark utilitarian logic going on there.
I believe the video is about efficiency of various types of farms. There was a handy spreadsheet linked in the description IIRC.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
Orb really deserves to be on this list. The opening is a banger, and the way it changes throughout the series is a really neat concept. Also how well it’s tied into several of the episodes is something you rarely see.
It’s definitely the most underrated anime of the past 2 seasons, along with its OP.
This’d be much much better. Even Joe Average can see muskrat is physically unfit, but his intellectual dishonesty is much easier to cover up.
I had a dumb thought: “My riding is very lopsided, I don’t really need to go out today, do I?”
OH, YES I DO. If anyone else thinks that way, then it makes my vote even more important/impactful, and you never know what’s going to happen.
(Also I can get some groceries on my way back. :)
If by “negotiate an end…” you mean carve Ukraine up for mineral and land rights, then I suppose that’s probably accurate enough.
This reminds me of the behaviour in young siblings where one will initiate, and when the anticipated response comes, they launch in to “Mom, they’re touching me!”
You clearly do want to argue, you just don’t want to be argued back with. Either that, or you’re just trying to provoke a response.
