@SmokingWR3CK4G3 In spite of being on private he got suspended again. No legitimate reason for it as far as I can see.

I should post more, I certainly have the content it's just that only Beige Shiba gets to hear it nowadays because I need only take a few steps to see him.

@Titanfall2fag @DerCryptaxis @evilsexywizard Correct. That's why anyone who becomes horribly bitter as a result of their suffering will never receive a freely given hand.

@Antweegonus This slots in well with the de facto moral framework of today: Emotivism. Alasdair MacIntyre details this in After Virtue.
"The key to the social content of emotivism is the [...] obliteration of any genuine distinction between manipulative and non-manipulative social relations"

@AI_EmeraldApple Rejecting whores does not mean embracing the gay ideal, but that's such a challenge for people like Jake.

@StevenObiajulu @TAmTrib Your stance that justice can only be achieved through an expensive elaborate ritual denies justice to the poor and weak. It is a stance that creates great evil no matter your intentions. RECONSIDER.

GUYS I FOUND THE HIGH-VALUE IMMIGRANT

ITS HIM! IT'S HIM!

HE WANTS TO BUILD BELT-FED 12 GAUGE TURRETS TO SLAY WILD HOGS IN FLORIDA!

IT'S HIM!

This conversation is going to remain seared into my own imagination as the perfect example of death of discourse.

Scenario:
> Provocateur / Autist baits rightoid true-believers with something that seems like a simple question but really has a complicated answer
> Sincere RW true believer says she'd like to respond but the answer is nuanced and she's tired of having her words twisted
> Provocateur / Autist says "No really, come on I want to hear your answer"
> Sincere RW true believer speaks from the heart alluding to intangibles and on the ground realities that are obvious put unprovable, makes references to nuanced considerations
> Provocateur / Autist totally disregards nuance either our of autism or spite (I really can't tell which one), ignores context, demands nuance fit into arbitrary boxes, demands that the answer confront hypothetical ideas that have never exist ("what about the perfectly assimilated immigrant!")
> Provocateur / Autist also unaware that her lack of understanding perfectly demonstrates the RW true believers original complaint
> Sincere RW true believer says "forget it"
> Provocateur / Autist "Why are RWers so afraid to answer my question???"

@KaiserLoengramm Classical liberalism is just cancer before it metastasised mate. I don't hate you, you're just naive.

[Dave Greene @GreeneMan6]

Daily reminder: Zach Weiner made a cartoon that perfectly encapsulated the core moral problem with “meritocracy based immigration”

Then he unlearned that wisdom so he could illustrate a book for Bryan Caplan arguing FOR “meritocracy based immigration”.

@MrSubmarineSays In ONE of the mouse utopia experiments that happened and it was never replicated.

@JordanBoekel @gomeshiro @amfirstflakes It's not because you're from Australia because we have the same definition of Assault here. You think only battery justifies self defense? You're wrong. Assault justifies self defence.

She's playing it up for engagement but I wish I could explain to young guys that women weren't always...like this. Sure women have always been annoying but these little facial tics that are designed to provoke you to put your first through the nearest drywall--that's new.

[Moderately Successful Geometer @cg_geometry]

. . . written about the problem AND some unspecified number of private attempts by professional mathematicians, possibly including your own work, and scoop you in a matter of days.

That's bulls--t. It makes a mockery of mathematics. What are we even doing here?

[Moderately Successful Geometer @cg_geometry]

Seriously, the more I think about this, the angrier I get. If a trillion-dollar company gets wind of the fact that you're close to a career-defining result, they can dispatch a team, equipped with a private model that has been trained on everything that's ever been publicly . . .

@xanon597443 @of_four_winds @QuetzalPhoenix DEFINITELY true. That trend of taking the funny animal cartoons and giving them 'relatable' stories, stuff like Space Jam imprinted on many kids.
