Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.
Pronouns are whatever. He/She/They⦠They all work.
The world would be a much simpler place if we all took a deep breath and admitted to ourselves and others that we are not purely rational beings, never were, never will be, arenāt meant to be.
āLogic and Reasonā are useful tools, but treating them as the end-all-be-all of everything is foolhardy at best.
Plus, the more ārationalā you claim to be (aka, the more you reject your own emotions and refuse to accept and understand them because you think emotions are for others), the more likely you are to make decisions that are, in fact, not rational at all but that youāve convinced yourself are the logical thing. Our rational brains are incredibly good at coming up with reasonings for our emotional responses that make sense to us but wouldnāt actually hold up to scrutiny.
Simply asking for sources doth not a debatebro make.
Thereās a certain smarmy attitude paired with self-importance that makes a debatebro.
To be like, proper debatebro you have to be stalking people and demanding they debate you based on a statement they made days ago. You have to be sneering and asking for a source when they say that water is wet, even though water being wet is such a common piece of knowledge that the onus of proof should be on the one disagreeing. Shid like that.
A personal philosophy whose main tenet is ābe annoyingā.
Annoy people who follow religions, regardless if theyāre minding their own business or if theyāre actually doing harm.
Annoy other atheists for random bullshit.
Basically, annoying people is its own reward. The point is to convince yourself youāre superior to other peeps.
Though the RAYTHEIST community is no longer what it used to be. Most of the big names that kept it alive were absorbed into larger movements, mostly political ones. We now know them as ādebate-brosā. Thereās leftist debate-bros, rightist debate-bros, centrist debate-brosā¦
Since Iām also in the never banned club, the most controversial thing I ever said on Reddit, based entirely on community reactions, was probably āamericans perceive everyone outside america as sub-humans who are beneath self-determination, like they should be the ones to choose how we do everythingā.
Sounds like at least among lefties this should have been an uncontroversial statement, but gods I made some gringos mad on that day.
One of these days I gotta try a Linux without SystemD, just to see if it was worth all the fuss. When I started my Linux journey SystemD was already the default on most distros normal people would use (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Suse, etc.) and I just never bothered exploring, despite all the bad things ⢠said about SystemD in Linux forums.
I did not! Mister Electric! Send him to the principalās office and have him EXPELLEEED!
