Your mind IS your body, mate. Lose a chunk of your brain, lose a chunk of your mind. Alter a chunk of your body, alter a chunk of your mind.

You cannot separate the two. There's no magic "soul" or what have you that makes up your mind, distinct from your body. You're just an emergent function of the meatware in your skull.

You need to put the jesus juice down, mate.

There are no such things as demons. It's just humans. It's always been just humans. We're capable of both the whitest kindness and blackest cruelty.

These are just people. Sick people whose worst excesses are being amplified and supported by legions of brain-dead NPCs and sycophants.

We should be working to destroy the apparatus that enables and encourages this behavior, instead of blindly lashing out at the questing tendrils that'll regrow in moments.

Considering that absolute, near-impossibility of a decapitation during regular delivery and the stunningly unlikely chance of something like that accidentally occurring during a c-section, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say "reserve judgement, we don't have the full story yet", gentlemen. For all we know, the child was non-viable and/or already dead when the delivery was first attempted, and a delivery-by-parts was the least bad option once they began the c-section and got a clear look inside the mother.

Seriously.

Especially considering the parents are suing for:

the "tremendous mental and physical anguish and trauma" experienced by Ross, who was awake while the doctor was attempting to remove the baby.

Because you generally don't put a mother and infant under general anesthesia, lady; it's fucking dangerous.

also seeking to recover damages for the full value of the baby's life, including loss of earnings and loss of enjoyment of life.

AKA the gibsiest of "gibs me dat" bullshit. Baby dies, either during or before delivery, and you're suing for 'loss of earnings'? Fuck you and your gods-be-damned ambulance chasing lawyers.

The hospital and nurses working together

Please. That shit never happens when things are going well, let alone in whatever the fuck this is.

The hospital is complicit in "ass covering bullshit"; the nurses named in the suit are, at worst, incompetent, and at best, more or less uninvolved.

Just a correction here, Arthur says the whole thing almost bothers him to vote (in favour of the feminists). He pokes fun at the absurdity of the event, but still for some bizarre reason favours the feminists. Just like for some bizarre reason he becomes extremely surly with a former slave owner, because for some equally bizarre reason -- despite being back in late 19th century -- he believes in racial equality?

Friend, I think you sort of missed the forest for the trees, here.

Remember that Arthur has spent his entire life as an outlaw with a heart of...say, tarnished silver. His big concerns, at the stage of his life where the story takes place, are the disappearance of a place in the world for him and his family (the gang), the massive expansion of the power of the federal government, and his fears of losing his freedom and being locked away.

He thinks women voting is weird, but he ends up tacitly supporting those specific women because he ends up convinced they are trying to get their own "freedom". He gets angry at the former slave owner not because "muh negro rights", but because the man's entire fortune was based around robbing people of their freedom, and because the man is trapped in this rose-tinted vision of the past. He feels both disgust and pity for the man, but it's never because "muh racismus"; it's always because "slavery in general bad", which I don't think is a hot take.

Such as constantly praising Sadie as the "bravest" of them all (and for some other bizarre reason, Sadie -- who was once a housewife -- somehow takes over the gang while the main leaders are trapped on an island).

Yeah, Sadie is...weird. On the one hand, her story comes off, at surface level, as very "yas kween slay" girl power fuck-nuggetry.

On the other hand, however, if you take the time to engage with the gang in between story missions and watch the (I think literal) hundreds of small storylets and interactions that play out in the camp, you actually see her go from near catatonic rape victim to asking for a gun and training on how to use it, to being one of the regular gun hands and guards for the camp, to slowly edging away form the gang as things start to fall apart later on.

It's absolutely the game's fault that this shit appears to come out of left field; if you don't watch Sadie's story play out, her sudden shifts seem like they're pulled out of someone's ass. But they do justify her involvement, and they never have her do the usual "small woman defeats big, burly men using spin kicks" bullshit you generally see in "girl power" moments. She just has her own heroic adventures and gains her own levels, all without Arthur's direct involvement.

Especially after the 20% story mark or whatnot where almost everything out of everybody's mouth regarding Whites is disparaging.

I've got a 100% save file at this point; can you give me a point in the main plot about this? Because, outside of one or two interactions with Lenny early on, I cannot for the life of me recall any "DAE hate da hwites?" bullshit. And I've been through the game thrice to see the differences in character interactions between max, mid, and min honor.

My fucking god, you actually got me to sign in to respond to this. That's some SSS-grade shitfaggotry.

Anyway:

  1. Out of a 100+ hour game, this is a tiny sidequest that is over in about five minutes.

  2. The whole time you're driving the suffragette wagon, Arthur is poking fun at how absurd the whole notion is when people have real problems out in the west.

  3. Some NPC townies ALSO take offense to the rally, and shout it down. You can choose to pick a fight with them, or to just leave.

  4. It's never fucking brought up again, because it's just some stupid shit you did for money in chapter 3 while trying to lie low in a new town.

Oh, and just for fun...

Ex) You can meet an actual feminist protestor in St. Denis. You can agree with her, laugh her off, or insult her. You can beat her up, with fists, melee weapons, or your firearm. You can shoot her. You can set her on fire. You can blow her up. You can drag her behind your horse until she dies. You can tie her up and drop her on train tracks. You can even tie her up and toss her to the gators in the surrounding swamps, who will actually eat her.

So, on whatever turbo fucking retard scale of glue huffing crayon munching you operate your one-track "hurr durr all wxmxn are SATAN" withered bean of a mind on, the game doesn't have a fucking feminist, "pro-women" agenda.

The key difference is that I don't make any claims to holding any sort of universal truth about reality or the human condition.

Those suffering from a severe case of religiosity do.

To insist that your viewpoint, which only exists from your geographic and economic place of birth and style of upbringing, is the definition of right and proper, true and correct, is utter retardation.

But, please, go back to wallowing in your superior beliefs and laughing at "midwit statements" that you don't actually comprehend.

The, for lack of a better term, constant vocal christ-faggotry is the most cringe part of this board. You lot would be just as zealous in muhammed-buggery or jewery if you were simply born to different parents, but you're too blind to see the sheer absurdity of your positions.

I wish the fucking leftists could leave well enough alone, so we wouldn't all be shoved into this hole together, but here we are.

Yes, people wasting entire lifetimes arguing over their favorite version of their favorite work of fiction is proof of the validity of that fiction.

By that logic, star wars is a real tradition, and jedi is a legitimate religious occupation.

Mate, you can't simply wave away criticisms of your make-believe ideology by tacking on more arbitrary rules based around unfalsifiable "trust me bro" concepts.

You are not a body with a soul, you are a personality matrix that exists as an emergent function of a highly complex and specialized biological neural network. You are software emulated on meatware, supported by a complex mobile life-support and environment manipulation meat suit. You don't even sense reality; rather, you imagine what reality looks like through the feedback mechanisms of EM-sensory organs throughout your body.

There is nothing magic or supernatural about you, or any mobile matter configuration we classify as "living".

LordLavaLamp -9 points ago +1 / -10

To be fair, you guys do this to yourselves.

Your entire religious faiths are founded on the idea that your "real" self is stored in some intangible, invisible, undetectable information-entity container you call a "soul", and that the human body is just a vessel for said soul.

By your own base principles, there is no reason there couldn't be an oopsie at some point in creation or development.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you're going to make shit up, you can't get mad when other people join in on the game of calvinball and make up more shit to tack onto your shit.

Man, I seriously cannot tell if over a decade in medicine has utterly desensitized me, if living in a former soviet union territory has selected for a population that is born out of fucks to give, or if you folks are wimps.

I rewound this video a few times to confirm events, didn't bat an eye.

Religion destroys everything it touches.

Progressivism is just the modern, trendy, secular religion. It has a creation myth, a highest holy, dogmas, traditions, heretics to persecute, and a god to venerate.

And it's doing what every ascendant religion has done when its membership has swelled to the point where it is no longer recognized as a cult; it infiltrates and destroys the old dominant religion, then tries to take its place.

One correction, she's a PA (Physician Assistant), not a Nurse.

As far as working anywhere, not quite. If you plan on moving, you need to find a place, find a job in that place, transfer your license to the new state, move all your shit to the new place, and hope your job offer is still valid by the time you get there.

It requires a lot of resources to just pick up sticks and fuck off to the four winds, and not everyone has the money, time, energy, or even brain power to pull it off.

I mean, I guess we could steel-man the position and say that her uncle made that statement to try to get ahead of the "hurr durr RACISMUS" crowd by saying "AKSHUALLY, no, she's also a faithful of the church of woke", but that may be assuming too much good will and sense on the part of the average person.

As someone who was stuck for well over a decade in a leftist-infested hive city, I don't think that's necessarily a fair take.

Plenty of normal folk are stuck, for economic or family reasons, and unable to leave. They're just outvoted by the screeching horde of retarded leftist mongoloids.

Have you ever considered the possibility that people can have good diet and exercise habits, and STILL enjoy a good wank?

And, if you have, it might also be good to try to consider the idea that a healthy body means a healthy libido, which often means MORE sex and/or wanking rather than less.

Shocking, I know.

And don't masturbate, either. You'll go blind and develop hairy palms!

Also ignore the biological reality that human males are so primed to release sperm that, if you abstain from sex and masturbation entirely, you'll STILL cream your pants, just in your sleep.

Biological realities are hate facts!
