  • Despite all the AI nonsense happening right now, I have a simple question. Do you feel valued? From one human to another.

    Jump

  • if "feeling valued" is a human emotion, it's not one I'm familiar with

  • This didn't happen on its own, it's a basil grafted on some kind of heartier base.

  • "Lazy" is lazy. Like "stupid", it is a hypothesis chosen not for its predictive power, but for its simplicity.

  • You're reading that in. I never said violence has to be invited, just because it can be. I did not say something like, "if you never invite it you never suffer it." You're disagreeing with something that was never said.

  • But you're not disagreeing. Tell me what you disagree with about my statement: When you take up violent means, you invite violent means. Aren't you using the state's violence as an invitation to reply with violence?

  • That doesn't even attempt to address my point. You're not saying that taking up violent means wouldn't make the problems you bring up even worse. You need to say that part. So I can show that you are wrong.

  • And that’s a justification for rolling over and doing nothing?

    If that is your reading of my comment, then I'm not interested in trying to correct you.

  • Where I live, when police think there might be firearms, there are police snipers. Armed protested don't get tear gassed, they get shot.

    You can't be armed all the time. How many Black Panthers died in their sleep, again? When you take up violent means, you invite violent means. (No disrespect intended. Black power.)

    Your guns cannot protect you from tyranny or even from another asshole with another gun. They are serving as a psychological security blanket against an intolerably overbearing power imbalance. The only thing we have that can match the power of the state is collectivism.

  • Just like people who are into sarin, questionably stored viral samples, bombs, gillotines, etc.

    You can call these things "collectables" but their nature doesn't change because you put a friendly term to it. It is psychologically fucked up to stockpile lethal weapons that can only be used for taking life without even having a practical application in mind.

  • Who you gonna shoot to fix this situation? Seriously, though. What person needs bullets in their body so that your worker rights are protected? I want names.

  • In a zombie apocalypse where do you hold up assuming you can secure any location you chose?

    Jump

  • Look, I need to spend my efforts on the toxicity and climate collapse apocalypse. I would WELCOME zombies at this point.

  • What's something normal that should remain a taboo?

    Jump

  • Cruelty and violence are taboo. Unless you pay someone to do it out of sight, then it's just breakfast.

    what is the most violent, reprehensible, sociopathic way to tie your shoes?

  • You're lying to yourself, working backwards from the conclusion you want. Take care. Don't confuse veganism with your personal morality. Just be aware when you're not being vegan.

  • I would remind you that cats are an invasive pest that cause global mass extinction and locally devastate entire ecosystems. I would remind you that HOUSE CATS ALONE make up a category that causes more deaths to birds and mammals in North America -- a place where they do not belong at all -- than any other cause. I would remind you that the Earth has fewer than half the birds it did when I was born. I would remind you that cats who are left outdoors live significantly shorter lives and suffer more diseases and major injuries than indoor cats.

    I would go so far as to suggest you are romanticizing the situation and relying on your own "common sense" rather than actually educating yourself on the risks and supposed benefits.
