exactly how high a percentage of child prostitution do you think is necessary to be justified in calling someone a pedo for moving to that country, with no other evidence?
How are Indians not fulfilling the "be fruitful and multiply" mission, if they are more fruitful and multiply faster than Americans? As far as I'm aware, they also obey the same laws of evolution as Americans.
I would sooner assume that there were plenty of Jesus-like people before Jesus - it's just that none got popular enough - than assume that Jesus was the first one to think of "just literally be kind to everyone, bro", not to mention being God.
Anyone else here got UFO 50? What do you think of its attempted homage to the gaming of the 80s? I wasn't around back then, so I'm not terribly invested in the classics.
I'd say Vainger and Party House are my favorites out of the collection so far.
If I have to be maximally charitable to the ethnomaxxing view, we're going to need stable high-trust high-IQ societies in order to get to gene editing within the century.
There is no need to inject such blatant clap signs as quoted, though.
What it looks like to me is that it's far from "everyone" that smashes the defect button - more like 10% of dysfunctional criminals and elite sociopaths. The rest try to cooperate, it's just that your tribe's definition of "cooperate" is not the other tribe's.
They've probably been on the route a few times already.
This looks like one of the cases where being more realistic is not more useful. Even if Sam Kriss is 99% right, what is the use of following his earthly wisdom instead of gambling for the 1%?
The explanation that convinced me was essentially "removing all senses from a human for a specific time and then giving them back without irreversible damage is hard, especially since humans have a very wide range of medicine tolerances and reactions".
If I had to write code, with no syntax highlight, no test cases, in subtly different environments every time, and a single compiler error might kill someone, I'd definitely want some training.
this is why video games fail to be art; once they're put in the hands of the player, the creator has no control over the creative expression.
That's like saying once a picture is out of the hands of the painter, it stops being art because the viewer might look at the right side of it first or the left, with no control from the creator. How can one ensure proper creative expression?
I don't see how the existence of options in a videogame takes away control from the creator. They literally made all that, and chose to make no more and no less.
I don't think they truly believed this, but then again I find it hard to believe most Christians in general truly believe. It does seem, however, to be in character for a social technology that optimizes for maximum converts and maximum adherence to their practice. Come to us, literally any and all, and you will receive everything in the afterlife as long as you do what we say, no matter the past.
Irredeemable sinners would be a failure of such a system, as they have no more incentive to obey.
Didn't Chuck Palahniuk write about that?
In case you wanted my opinion on this, I don't even consider this sex anymore. I don't know what you call it. Comparing this to being a slut is like comparing the hot dog speed eating contest to an occasional cheat day at McDonalds.
Is there anything stopping you from passably faking a Christian reawakening?
Question 1: wild guess.
Question 2:
They are more like "a separate person and a separate moral considerance" than "this man's property that it's okay to hurt and remove to hurt him", that's the argument.
Well, your argument in favor of consistent moral principles kinda falls flat when your most important moral principle is something inscrutable in practice.
TIL being anti-war means you must instantly roll over for anyone.
This sounds like it would require a lot of cops.
As it happens, "why bother caring about my body's state if I'll die anyway" is in fact not very convincing counterpoint to me.
I think the moniker "a woman in real life" (as in "those incel gamers have never seen a woman in real life") is meant to acknowledge that Aloy is depicted below the 70th percentile or wherever "less attractive" starts for you.
No, I don't think you'll be convinced by any example of people I'd assume are "woke" advocating for what I consider "basic human decency", since you ask for such an example as if it's supposed to be vanishingly rare.
We're on the motte, if anyone of the two of us is enforcing consensus it's you and your plentiful ideological allies with the "party line" and "manipulative trick" dismissals.
What do you have against basic human decency? What it looks like is exactly the same as wokes getting triggered by a nonmixed heterosexual family because it's a dogwhistle for fascist racism or something.
And if I were, in fact, aiming to manipulate, it's not like I would be cowed by you declaring that you're immune to my manipulations.
I would sooner suspect a man who has been to the sex tourism capital of the world than the one who chose to live there. The former man's motivation is scrutable, the latter's more complicated. I have not heard of many people who love brothels so much they'd live next door for the convenience.
That's why I find Musk's signaling worse, he went on the tangent of a largely baseless accusation in a personal spat.
