There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs.

@KonstantinKisin Yes, but Nazis are socialists. If anything, that is far left.

"Empathy" is often used to explain bleeding-heart liberalism, but this is exactly backwards.

It is precisely the liberal's lack of empathy, his failure to imagine the mindset of the malicious anti-social criminal, that drives his misguided politics.

Important to realize this.

Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset’s population

And 44% of alleged sex offences

“police arrest man who is bleeding to death because the stabber claimed he was racist”

its literally impossible to satirize the UK anymore. even the most extreme, hamfisted memes are just real things that actually happen now

Beware the empathy exploit.

Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).

For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

Christopher Nolan asked the Oracle of Delphi, "Will audiences love my adaptation of the Odyssey?"

And the Pythia replied, "They will discuss it non-stop for months before it even premieres."

And away he went, glad in this heart, poor fool.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

If I can only put ONE game on Thief fans' radars, it will be Noirmancer.

It's a noir, supernatural, stealth immersive sim where you use powers like the ability to shrink, erase memories, turn to mist, swim in the air to infiltrate dirty business.

@alexia_moi_voss @HazelyGod47 "you aren’t going to be thinking of any of those other variables."

We are talking about those variables because they have been thought about. Some would rather die if they believe their loved ones are likely to vote blue.

The premise necessitates knowing there's a global vote.
