They are miserable and very insecure. They look to the past, where they can only imagine what that life felt like, and imagine what they would have had back then, that they don’t now, and the big difference is that progress has reduced all the subjugation. So they seek subjugation of others in hopes of reclaiming their security and manhood. When they look back, they see men in control, and only men, and they feel like they got ripped off.

it’s more like a houseboat! It is nice!

Heh, redskull bemoaning joker’s misplaced patriotism is pretty good.

Bunch of people around here are out-right admitting they didn’t really pay any attention to what anyone running was saying. They heard trump say he would bring down prices/kick out immigrants/guns/no abortion/whatever single issue, and just checked the box. The manufacturing workers here are especially loud about how they feel deceived because they didn’t listen to anything he actually said, or just didn’t know what tariffs are, like at all.

Will any of them vote otherwise next time? I guess we will see. Bunch of them are honestly holding to the “short term pain, long term greatness” cope.

But he has all the money! He has the highest score! He should be the winner!

and the judiciary, the GOP been stacking that for 50 years, put the crown on last time trump was in office.

have no idea, looked these terms up, do you mean star stable? some sort of horse owner mmo?

If they were really brave they would try something new

Yeah, this is the greater problem, fatbergs as they call them. It just destroys infrastructure.

Larceny

There has been a bunch of media that warranted legitimate disdain, however the anti-woke angle was the biggest focus

Don’t worry, they are plenty capable of being mad at both

There is an old man in my building, who got into video games about 10 years ago, when his wife died. When I first moved in I played games with him fairly often. After I knew him about a year, he exposed himself as racist. So I just faded away from interacting with him, too old to bother lecturing, so I just stopped socializing with him. I do see him around, and we make small talk, in the halls, elevator, etc.

Anyway, now that you have context, I ran into him in the elevator when Shadows first came out. He said he had been playing it, and asked if I had. I said I didn’t then told him I was a little surprised he bothered with it. He said “Cause you play a colored samurai?” I said that I figured it wouldn’t be his thing, a lot of people didn’t like the idea. He replied “He was a real person, though” I told him a lot of people were mad about it, he said “it’s just a game”. So, if a racist, 83 year old, man didn’t see the issue here, these people have to be seeking things to be mad about. He doesn’t do much online though. Only social media he does is look at FB when his kids tell him they posted new pics of the grand kids, or whatever. This is purely a symptom of being terminally online.

Your comment is that people can believe things are moral, that lead you to do horrible things, because relativistic morals make you susceptible to misinformation. You then say this isn’t a good operating procedure because of this susceptibility, thus your morals can be twisted to justify horrible things, like killing people out of a sense of righteousness. Then you say that if your moral baseline isn’t an unshakable belief, an axiom, based on empathy, you can’t understand what the person believes.

The first part is true. However, how you present that last two sentences make it look like you are saying this is not good, and that having adamant morals, founded on empathy, is your understanding of a moral standing, and a better way of operating than relativistic models, which can be manipulated by bad input, and produce bad output.

Would you say this is a correct interpretation?

do you not think that people can’t come to conclusions you would feel are terrible and still hold them as unshakable morals they derived from empathy? Do you think empathy is not subjective?

I think they worded this poorly. I believe their argument was more that someone can believe that morals are constructs, and relative, but you can also believe that you should try and move people to construct morals based on your own.

If they actually want a cease fire, it is to regroup, and reorganize their military, for another attempt, with a build-up based on what they learned from this war. They may also try putting another puppet in during the down time too. Putin, and the oligarchs, largely want to restore their empirical status, and power.

The peak employment number for GME was 27,000

Yeah I have beta access due to spending in POE1, just the way I read the comment I was worried I missed some news, or something, that it won’t be FTP any longer, for some reason.
