I wish you understood more about politics to understand the fact that such things can make small contributions towards shifting the overton window and that not every mentioning of him on this board is some hopeful trying to will him to some impossible upset victory.
My understanding is that there's always at least two pilots so even if one catches a fatal case of the suddenlys I imagine it probably wouldn't lead to more crashes.
Again, it's fine to say that. I'm not saying you're wrong there. But saying it's single issue is blatantly untrue.
I wish people here understood enough about politics to learn how to ignore the bullshit they dangle in front of your face to distract you
A bit condescending considering no one here has been implying they actually believe he will win, right? Philosoraptor is just using it as an indirect outlet for his TDS.
I mean, if you think certain negatives are enough to root against him then okay, but no reason to act like he is a single issue dude. He is dead on about the military industrial complex, intelligence agencies, deep state and things like that as well.
On one hand it seems weird but on the other hand, both options forcefully remove them from the gene pool.
I'm a dog mom!!@! Look at my cute little fur babies!!!
Gag me.
From your mouth to God's ears. There are some pretty despicable betas out there.
Honestly if those numbers are to be believed, that would be amazing. That isn't too far from a 50/50 split. And for a demographic that young? Almost too good to be true (so I fear that it is).
Cultural change is achieved via changes in the actions of a large number of individuals.
To add more, 250 budget means anywhere from around 500 to 700 to break even. 546 is a huge flop and probably means they lost money.
Lmfao no. Cultural change is important. Remember 15 years ago when people could say fag all the time and no one batted an eye but now you would lose your job over it? This limp dick "waaah I don't agree with their sign" attitude plays a part in greasing the gears of societal change that allows them to pull bullshit like that off.
Are there better arguments to be made? And better mediums to make them through? Sure. But spare us with the "I disagree with their sign."
The elites that create and influence social trends are bleating nonstop about how we are overpopulated. The social dynamic now is such that any age difference more than 5 years is getting more and more looked down upon. Do we really think this is an accident? Like you noted, such things have an effect of locking men out of being fathers at an artificially early age. Also worth nothing that men marrying women who are lower in social status (often times due to lower age) is the norm throughout history.
Oh I don't bemoan people for spending on it. I've spent a fair amount too if you sum it up over 2+ years. In my opinion it's fine so long as you have self control and only spend what you can. If you become some gambling addict its kinda your own fault in my opinion.
I feel like it's pretty evident they have been reinvesting a good amount of money into increasing the quality of the game as it's gone on, so as far as I'm concerned the money making scheme is a necessary evil that lets us get games that are effectively completely free while still being extremely high quality.
All that aside, yeah I got Yelan when she had a rerun earlier this year but I haven't played much since then so I never got to take her for a run. She looks really fun though so I'll definitely build her up once I start playing a bit again.
Yeah I haven't played much lately but I do like Genshin. I can totally understand people having issues with the gacha system, but you can easily get through everything without paying for anything if you're good at the game and smart.
The overall production values are just too good to pass up. Great voice acting, huge world, cute characters, etc. Even the story which was probably the weak point had a pretty big boost in Sumeru in my opinion. The main story arch there was pretty damn hype.
I feel like I remember you posting about this last year. Glad you had fun and glad the Covid BS was essentially nonexistent.
Considering dropping into a medium sized con happening near me next weekend. Time flies, cause it's been over 4 years since I've been to one....feels like just yesterday...
One thing that everyone says, including you, is that Genshin cosplays are everywhere. Would like to see those and roam around a good dealers room and artist's alley for the first time in a while.
Well yeah, it is definitely light years away from being able to solve things that aren't easily solvable from the information that it was trained on. But in my case, it took coding problems that would have taken me hours to solve, even while heavily relying on internet searches and stack overflow, and solved them in 30 seconds. That is undoubtedly impressive and even that level of competence is enough to cause big waves across a bunch of industries.
I get the feeling that when I have this discussion with people here, we are all talking about different things.
Saved me lots of time coding and even helped me with some chemistry questions that arent easily answerable by google. If it continues on the current trajectory it is gonna revolutionize a lot of fields.
That being said, you need to know how to use it well and you can't take it as the gospel. In any fields where there are major consequences for being wrong, or where you can't easily check if its output is correct, it is still a long way off.
I can certainly understand the disdain for the ignorant masses of normies who blindly worship whatever the current fad is, but that doesn't mean there aren't grains of truth behind some of the hype.
You have to be an absolute fucking goon for me to think "ya know I'm actually kind of glad we got George W of all fucking people over this fuckwad."
I agree with everything you said, but to a degree it's hard not to have some degree of sympathy towards the notion of racial preservation. Faced with the option of marrying a white girl that is at worst gonna cheat and cuck me then divorce rape me and at best is just in it for the money, and a non white girl who actually has good traditional values, I would easily go for the non white girl.
But I'd be lying if I didn't also think "damn, if everyone does this then what will happen to white people as a whole." But I guess there's not much sense in worrying. Raise kids to have strong sense of family and culture and it should turn out okay.
There's enough activity here that it wouldn't be boring, but even if he's a meme, his interactions with others and the comments that he draws out of others in his many back and forths are sometimes worthwhile.
I'd be sad if he left for good. As much of a meme as he is, he adds to the liveliness of this place lmao
Lmfao that story reminds me of a similar copypasta where a dude gets into an argument on reddit only to find the dude heavily browsed a sub dedicated to a fetish where you drink your own piss. To make it even funnier, the argument had something to do with Italian food iirc.
Reddit is a fucking cesspool. Really a shame because 10 years ago it was nowhere near as bad.
What do NPCs say when you point out to them that muh "gun nuts" and muh "ammosexuals" were much more prevalent in this country 100 or 200 years ago and yet there weren't mass shootings?
Yeah some means of raising the bar once again needs to be found.
Yeah in many cultures, often Asian ones, it isnt that weird for young girls who are friends to hold hands. Could easily pass for good friends. That being said I know nothing about the Phillipines with regards to this issue.
