The only reply I can make to that involves Rule Two. Soooooo...
You can only twist social technology so far before things start breaking horribly.
I tend to self insert when doing roleplay/customized characters, unless I've got a specific 'type' of character I want to play. For instance, Skyrim/Morrowind always had me playing as Dunmer, cause Dunmer are fucking awesome. Otherwise, I just play a Nord.
I never play as a female, unless the game doesn't have an option otherwise.
wut.
Has he... lost his mind? Is he on drugs?
Look, I can get not liking Morrowind for being Morrowind - the game is clunky and needs to have a right mindset to play - but trying to argue that Morrowind 'dumbed down the game mechanics and removed features' is borderline 'You need to be instituted for your own good.'
Redemption comes with a cost.
I've seen people try to argue this, but I remember the house my Grandma/Grandpa had, and the houses my Great-Aunt/Uncles had back in the Appalachian hollas.
I'd take one of those houses in a goddamn heartbeat. But they don't make them anymore. I know. I've checked. If I could grab one of those, I'd either have to get stupidly lucky and move it to where I want, or build one myself.
I guess I'm going to have to build one myself.
individuals as individuals
You shouldn't. The one repeated defense I see time and time again by black people basically boils down to 'Muh Daniel Perry/Rittenhouse/Random White Person that defended themselves against blacks'.
They don't look at the circumstance, or context, or broader picture. No. Because one White person Did Something They Don't Agree With, they think blacks can get away with anything, forever.
Ethnic and tribal nepotism. They'll make nice for the longest time, then turn around and metaphorically(or literally) stab you in the back, and they'll think you deserve it.
I wish it was otherwise. I really do. But up until the point where people en masse start loosing their patience and treat all bad actors they way they need to be treated, nothing is really going to change.
My issue with cases like these is that parental responsibility has turned into a twisted, schizophrenic, Schrodinger's beast of a monster that only applies in certain circumstances, and, for some reason, only benefits one side.
Kid brings a gun to school? Oh, I guess the parents are responsible! Timmy wants to be referred as Timothina? You will be lynched unless you let your little precious turn themselves into a chemically castrated eunch for pedos to abuse.
The parents were probably peices of shit, though, not gonna lie. Doesn't mean I'm not going to place the blame on the kid for being a sub-human retard.
Every time I see leftist/liberals try to argue there's no difference physically between men and women, I can only come away thinking 'You people have never physically interacted with a woman in your goddamn life, have you?'
I know an older nurse who retired early rather than get the clot-shot.
Supposedly, according to some doctors, nurses are infamously difficult to get shots and whatnot for vaccinations.
Given that these are the people that end up seeing the worst of the worst in day to day life, it makes me really wonder what they're seeing that basically makes them go 'Fuck that, I would rather quit my fucking job than take the shot'.
Really gets the old noggin a joggin.
(Bonus points, she later got hired-back part-time as a nurse and has the hospital begging her to take more hours. She basically went 'nah' and then does whatever the hell she wants.)
To borrow a phrase, 'Your rules, applied fairly.'
They've had no issues with race-swap up until this point(especially when is serves as their propaganda, see: Adolescence). Ergo, they shouldn't have an issue with this one.
They do, and we all know why. So, I don't care.
Modern fantasy taking subversive ideas from decades ago and still thinking it's the newest, most innovative thing ever.
Not an ounce of fucking creativity.
Retarded white-knight simps will do anything and everything for even a crumb of pussy.
And there are alot of retarded white-knight simps on reddit.
If you're never read Foundation, you're missing out. It's great.
As for the series, it's bad. Really bad. I skipped out on it total, so I didn't see first hand how bad it was, but apparently it's really, really bad. 'Totally misses the fucking point' level of bad.
'Incel' by this point basically means 'doing something women don't agree with'.
This is 'wet streets cause rain' line of thinking in a nutshell.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
NPCs gonna NPC.
But statistics are racist, don't you know.
The moment you start pointing out the meme of 52/13, they'll either call you racists or make excuses about how poor they are.
Black people are never, ever responsible for their own actions. It's always Whitey's fault they're like that.
(Let's not even talk about how the entire 52/13 is likely much worse, given that it's young black men doing said crime...)
What did Jesus say about harming children?
Oh, yes. Rock, rope, large body of water.
Sounds like good advise to me.
It's really common. Persona 5 had it with Ann and her entire thing being an 'hafu', and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai's MC had people assuming he dyed his hair despite it being a natural color.
The best weapon for home defense is whatever you have one hand.
The second best is a weapon you love and love to shoot, and do so alot, so you're proficient and comfortable with it should shit go down.
The third best, imho, is a cheap yet reliable AR. It's easier to become proficient with, and you're not going to be crying to the bank if the cops need to keep it as 'evidence' for whatever fucked up reason. Plus you can get a reasonable silencer for hearing protection you can quickly remove before the cops come.
Pistol has a drawback in that you need to practice alot more to become good at it, red dots are expensive for pistols(and some difficult to get), and you really don't want to have to hand over a thousand-plus pistol to the cops for the evidence locker.
Shotguns are nice, but limited in terms of ammo. And also expensive, unless you're going turkish, which is chancy.
And if you're an absolute goddamn maniac, get an AR-10, because 308 rounds will solve any problem you point them at.
Funny. Take my word for what it's worth, but according to my boss, alot of Sheriffs absolutely fucking loathe having to deal with bilingual bullshit.
Asians are better at testing when being driven by family pressure and culture, but Whites end up being better at self-motivating over the long-term?
Granted, there's alot of factors that can influence GPA, but it's possible that for Asians alot of the effort is front-loaded(gearing up and studying for the ACT), whereas for Whites it's all back-loaded(attending and scoring high in college).
Just a stab in the dark.
Someone once pointed out that a woman will happily go to work and eagerly listen and follow orders from a powerful man in charge, only to come home and complain and bitch incessantly to her husband.
At the end of the day... look. I'm not saying husbands should default beat their wives to get them to behave, but goddammit, I wish these fucking women would stop adding points in the 'favor' column for this tactic.
