Crazy to think that any honest comment I make about this topic would get me put on several more lists

the rest of the world would have bombed the shit out of them

We do that anyway

This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

A second user issued the weapon restriction challenge. I don’t play HD2, but apparently they specifically chose weapons that the playerbase widely agrees are underpowered, but the devs say are fine

If they’re investigating someone who doxxed a user for saying a game that’s too hard and buggy is too hard and buggy, then maybe they should hire Boeing’s PIs

Yeah I don’t remember the last time Steam users bullied someone into suicide. I can think of at least three people who’ve been killed by Reddit.

And you get to murder slavers

If you want to play as the empire you can just join the army

Just think it could stand to be more explicit. Some people, being stupid, wouldn’t be able to figure out that they may themselves be stupid based only on those laws

I feel like it’s worth noting that anyone, including you, can be a stupid person, and acknowledging that fact does not exempt you from potentially being a stupid person

If it’s not important to the rest of the USA then why can’t you walk down the street without seeing it? Could it be that it simply doesnt matter to you, and you’re projecting your own indifference onto the rest of society?

I’m not sure this is quite analagous to neuralink’s monkey experiments. That said,

So is this different only because those are human neurons?

To my mind, a neuron is a neuron. The only difference between your brain and a monkey brain is, again, the number of neurons and the structures they form. I don’t see this as any different from monkey or rat or ant or entirely digital neurons.

Raises uncomfortable questions about consciousness. The only difference between these neurons and your own are the number of them and the structures they form. Of course it doesn’t know what it’s doing, but… Neither do our own neurons

If you think you have a point to make, don’t couch it in “devil’s advocate” bullshit. There were indeed huge chunks of ice being thrown. Blood were drawn. The cops are still the bastards in this situation, and I pray that nobody gets convicted

You know, I’m going to come to the defense of the Highguard devs here. They know the game is going to die, but they’re going to go down fighting, and I respect that

When the Rohirrim thought Aragorn had abandoned them because the battle for Gondor was a sure defeat, did they lay down their weapons and let the orcs execute them? No, they ran headlong into an army ten times their numbers

Yeah, my problem is that I’m too poor to shop elsewhere. So far my local Kroger is only a little more expensive, but at least I know that everyone is paying $8.49 for that six pack of graham crackers

I’ve already sent feedback to Walmart about my refusal to buy anything with a digital price tag. The thing is, I believe them when they say that prices are only updated between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. The problem is that that policy could change literally any time.

Walmart has every inch of their store covered in cameras. They have facial recognition systems so they know who I am the moment I walk in the store. They know I buy graham crackers. They know I’ve put up with price increases in the past. What is preventing them from adding $0.10 to those graham crackers’ price tag the moment I walk down the crackers aisle? Literally nothing. They could, and that’s reason enough for me to boycott

It’s fine as long as you like your cookies with a crispy carbonized outer shell, and a raw doughy center

I wonder why we attacked iran even though every human expert said it will just end up with the region being in a forever war.

Same reason I keep money in a savings account even though it accrues interest

I mean, if Purina had sending him letters telling him to murder people like Google here, then yeah
