@VariousRegards @liana_1_1 Goomba fallacy

@Z0GB0T @normalcreature9 They could've cast a fat girl.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@saraaluvscats @normalcreature9 Because people find religious nuts off-putting.

But besides that, in the book she's chubby. It makes more sense.

@secularwakanada @SardineTruther @abcnews Hey, those stats are at least little hopepilling. Certainly better than the zeitgeist would have you believe.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire I don't believe in extra judicial killings either. Just don't defend good ideas (right to due process) with bullshit.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire That was not the part I was contesting. "I agree that George shouldn't be Judge, Jury and Executioner"

Only the idea that anyone has a RIGHT to a friend.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@TheMudgel @The_AlexFreeman @QiaochuYuan It is definitionally a delusion, it's a belief not aligned with objective reality.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire Clearly you don't actually believe anything you say and it's all just vacuous bullshit.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@TheMudgel @The_AlexFreeman @QiaochuYuan How can you expect them to grow past it if you indulge the delusion every time?

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire He doesn't. You conceded that when you said "Ok."

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire Wait, "Ok"? Doesn't Lenny "have a right to a friend?" now?

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire Lenny isn't owed George's ceaseless, undying loyalty. It's for George to decide if he's had enough of Lenny's shit.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire Nah, it's just that human relationships are a two way street.

You're not friends with literally everyone you've ever met, it's freedom of association. The only people who owe you unconditional love are your parents.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@SAAS1972N @dwazagul @HiddenYorkshire I agree that George shouldn't be judge, jury and executioner, but nobody has a RIGHT to a friend. If you exhaust the sympathies and patience of people you get left alone, that's how it works.

@ohnopauldidnt @Jaoheah @MattWallaceTech SOME people risk their lives at long odds to save people. But not most people, or even many people.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@ohnopauldidnt @Jaoheah @MattWallaceTech The poll results are not reflective of reality.

If the poll was accurate every mass shooting would end in seconds with the gunman being mobbed by 58 percent of people within range, Kitty Genovese would be alive, and the Nazis would have been couped March 1933.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@ohnopauldidnt @Jaoheah @MattWallaceTech We believe that reds just do vastly outnumber blues in this world.

People aren't all Jesus.

Plenty of people are self-sacrificing and community minded to a point but that point comes before an almost certain death chance.

[MattC @Mattconno]

@mai_komagata @sipping_Pyro @MattWallaceTech Would you still push blue if the requirement for a blue win was 90 percent?

[MattC @Mattconno]

@DaoOfMorphy @ElonBachman The vice of honesty? Self-knowledge? Knowledge of the world and human nature?

[MattC @Mattconno]

@joquji5n324il @AI_EmeraldApple Yes, and you have to think it through as if it were really happening or what's the point?
