The specific case here appears to be closer to:

Person on left: "if you hold view A/believe thing B/do not agree with me on position C, you are a Nazi!"

Person on right: "That makes me a Nazi? Guess I'm a Nazi, then!"

Person on right: puts a swastika flag on the wall and gets caught talking to his pals in political private chats on how the Austrian painter was right about everything, with little to no indication of irony

Other people on left, including those who might have disagreed with Person on the Left at first: "...well I guess you really are, then."

If the choice is between Nazis and the modern left, what is the actual difference in practice between an outright Nazi and someone who "only" would rather have Nazis than the modern left? It looks like they're both working towards the same goal. Even if the "preferrer" intends to try and slow the swing of the pendulum from the left to Nazism once it starts being too Nazi for his taste, at the moment he's all too happy to help it gain momentum.

For the record I do not believe that the choice is between Nazis and the modern left, although I grant that picking "nazis" appears a lot simpler for many than picking the middle.

Attempted multiplayer Rabbit and Steel recently with a friend.

Rabbit and Steel is a game about cute bunny girls fighting several bosses in a row that's marketed as "FF14 raid experience without having to level and grind". You go in, fight the bosses, get some items that increase your DPS in various ways in between the fights, and that's it. The fights themselves are akin to bullet hell games, but with emphasis on zones - some zones you have to stay in, others you have to stay out of. Dealing damage is not automatic, so you have to pay some mind to pressing your abilities in a specific order to maximize DPS.

The game can be played solo, but it shines in co-op, as most boss attacks force players to interact in certain ways. Instead of merely having to stay in a circle, the boss may center the circle on one of you, for example, or the ever-notorious "spread out" attacks (the name speaks for itself).

A major downside is that it just becomes plain diffucult to figure out what all the attacks are when there are 5 different areas of effect in various shapes (and one color scheme) on the screen.

I think he means the centenarian SS collaborationist. Famous for being invited to speak at the Canadian parliament as a veteran of WW2 and a fighter for Ukrainian independence against Russia. Allegedly, the people in charge of the ceremony were blissfully unaware of what kind of military formations were conducting Ukrainian resistance against Russia at that time.

The world that looks more like the dark matter world from my perspective is the bubble that has formed adjacent the Western progressive ideology, where the healthy and fun trust exercise of saying outlandish things in private company, knowing that all present trust you to not really mean it, is taken deathly seriously.

If the men you know never make offensive jokes and can't even fathom why making offensive jokes is fun, I think they have poorer lives for it.

Don't care, and

You waste time typing anything after "and" if you've already admitted you don't care. Anyway, pivoting from pearl-clutching over the other side being publicly edgy towards you to calling out pearl-clutching when it is directed at you, for any reason, is a whiplash hazard.

I am happy for my female friends, for they are enriched: they have heard the most horrible things I have ever said out loud.

Naturally.

The principle of "who whom" has been, to my understanding, established to broadly apply to both sides. So the most new information that can be gained is whether it applies specifically to JD Vance.

'Did JD have anything to say about the comments on Charlie Kirk's shooting' is the pertinent question here, I think.

Assuming you've been starting from absolute scratch, i.e. only the standard library, there are game engines that solve the question of "having a framework to click buttons in and have objects that move around". The problem might be that learning a game engine might be just as hard if not harder than learning a programming language.

Godot is one of the engines that people make 2D games with today.

What was stopping him before? Israel had already been accused numerous times of being callous to their hostages' safety, Hannibal Doctrine etc.

Depends on whether souls, angels and demons end up coming from an existing theological practice.

That would do it. Where I live the residential tower blocks often have at least one commercial outlet on the ground floor, such as groceries, barbershops, hardware store, etc. That's in the suburbs - in the city center the ground floor is often entirely businesses.

I have not one but multiple stores within 2 minute walking distance.

The usual response is that in the cases where the CEO is bad, their quality of life won't really fall like a worker's quality of life falls if a worker fucks up and is fired.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it's downvoted because splitting up that money is not the point. The point is that the money is undeserved and unfair.

The opinion on pets is pretty much my actual opinion, I didn't make it up just now to win this argument. To elaborate, we do of course cherish our pets and do our best to not do what we think of as torture to them - but it's still our morality and done for the sake of ourselves - and certainly we expect no reciprocity from cats and dogs. We do not expect them to be good cuddly pets because it would be the right thing to do of them, but because they're here for that purpose. Hence "morality does not exist between humans and pets".

It should be needless to say that the relationship between humans and states is usually far less amicable. So the comparison of treason and torturing kittens doesn't quite land for me, I'm afraid. You could compare how similarly to the torture of kittens having impact on the surrounding humans, so too can treason have an impact on the surrounding humans. I don't specifically advocate selling out your country to evil cannibal aliens for that reason. But going "literal treason, yikes!?" as if treason is automatically something bad amuses me.

I would assume that before the shock collar was invented, the go-to immediate negative reinforcement was beating the dog or yanking on the prong collar.

I'll bite, which one? Or did you deliberately not specify for the sake of the bit?

Not the one you responded to, but it appears obvious to me that 14yos are more adult than the law treats them, in many cases. Things like drinking should be acceptable in moderation under parental supervision, if only to teach the teens the limits so that they don't have to learn them getting blackout drunk among similarly clueless but eager peers at 18. (Of course, we then arrive to the issue of many parents being prone to bad decisions.)

Really, the law on drinking age appears now to be designed to account for negligent parents. What is a properly parented 14yo gonna do if they're able to buy alcohol? Get illicitly drunk once?

Regarding crimes, at 14 a human should have enough moral knowledge to know that beating a human being while they're down is unacceptable and enough self-control to stop themselves from doing it. They can be excused to some extent for crimes of passion, but there's a point where "passion" no longer cuts it.

Maybe in the early days of idpol the white skin enjoyers were against Japanese but now it looks as if it got a big injection of "le based feminine Asian waifu" people. Either way, it's going to be the kind of people who complain that, checks list, Ghost of Yotei's protagonist does not look like a jade beauty, or Aphrodite's cheekbones too sharp 3/10, and I think that kind of grievance is retarded and annoying, and the grievance of those who want token rep of every ethnicity, gender and disability under the sun is also retarded and annoying.

Just make characters with character. Supergiants' Hestia has character, Asian Hestia doesn't, at a glance.

You don't need to get almost all. You just need to make it clear that any one of them can go to the slammer for doing the wrong thing on the public internet. That shouldn't be hard. People go to jail for CP and doxxing is inherently easier to catch.

You'll sieve out particular haplogroups, and that only if we allow the technicality of a chromosome being one molecule. You won't sieve out the attachment to land or whatever cutoffs you're imagining exist that make some people legit members of an ethnicity and some not. Those are higher-level ideas. Like laws or morality, concepts that are rooted in memories and emotional responses of physical brains.

Neither are there molecules of laws, or any particular ethnicity or nationality, or states.
