@JasonBassler1@BrandonKalisz That’s not even the equivalent argument, Glock didn’t shoot him, you did… Flock didn’t put her in jail, police did. Both glock and flock create tools. When a glock handgun malfunctions, it’s usually due to a mix of user errors/negligence. This is no different
@Ashy_Kneecap@Supahdenning@UlisesE33891102 @rules_ruls @BilsuArt Only reason you can tell us that is because you have fingers to type, yet having fingers nor the ability to externalize your experience to others are the prerequisite for subjective experience.
@CreamOfBarley@jebz68@Dr_TheHistories There’s a reason the hisorical marker for that duel is on the side of an interstate. Regardless of the fact that it’s still in a very remote part of SC, the spectators were invited. It was still highly planned and organized resulting in 1 death.
@CreamOfBarley@jebz68@Dr_TheHistories Actual formalized duels were pre arranged and took place in isolated fields, plantations, etc. It used to be popular to call it a field of honor, akin to a battlefield. Duels weren’t just random old timey quick time events that wypipo did at times square.
@CreamOfBarley@jebz68@Dr_TheHistories I never said it was okay, You stated that it is the same thing, yet it’s nowhere close. Scale is a major factor, innocent victims caught in the crossfire is another. Gang violence turns neighborhoods into quasi war zones. So yes go fight in a field somewhere.
@CreamOfBarley@jebz68@Dr_TheHistories One involves the entire community via drive by’s, retaliatory violence, cultural degradation, youth influence, etc and the other is isolated, highly planned, organized, and formalized.
@MrKrabsASMR@jarlbillclinton@KugelV6 There’s a line to be drawn. There’s a difference between spray painting being on every wall/abandoned building and a glorified bulletin board.
@KugelV6 There’s a difference between a broken window, which serves as deleterious to cultural significance & social cohesion, versus graffiti and stickers on a post stamped by many different people. A moral worldview can appreciate its cultural importance despite it being an eyesore.
@Secondshiftnews@tiredsias @CastingOutNines @danialbka@Snukkems_Art Octopuses aren’t social pack animals so they won’t rely on another creature for survival regardless of habituation, but if the human mind is natural then so is empathy. So wouldn’t an apex predator like a human saving a fawn from a coyote be natural?
@admiraIish@siggney I’m not saying the dog’s dream of reincarnation into a human is poorly placed, it’s a good allegory. I’m saying that the message of the story still gets fully represented had line 2 been voided, and if line 2 had been voided readers wouldn’t have the evil soul interpretation.
