lol he was right about Death Stranding though. It's easy to be right about it though, it's very unique in its absurdity.

But yeah he does do the motte and bailey thing a lot. He plays the line between satirist and serious reviewer to protect himself.

I like dunkey but anyone who doesn't think he's just a funny review satirist is absolutely smooth brained.

Any time he gives a serious opinion it's pretty cringe.

Going by his discussion with Destiny, he believes it's wrong to kill multiple people as an individual, even in self defense, because that's obviously represents a greater loss of life than if you just let the mob kill you.

The thing about it is that it is in fact logical. If this is how x situation is going to play out and x individual can simply not defend himself and die, that does in fact result in only one death instead of an indeterminate amount of deaths.

The problem is obviously that it's amoral. His perception of it illuminates the fact that he simply doesn't believe in the sovereignty of the individual. Individual sovereignty is the determining moral factor in what side you fall on in this issue (provided you're not grossly misinformed by legacy media). Individual sovereignty means you have the right to defend yourself from any given threat or threats. Once you remove that principle, his view makes perfect sense.

It also made it clear that Destiny, who clearly does believe in the sovereignty of the individual, isn't too far gone and maybe redeemable. That's really one of the most important core moral principles for someone to have, imo, so there's something there to work with in regards to Destiny. I should watch that stream he did with Sargon. I meant to but never got around to it, maybe he's come around more than I'm aware of.

So he did just arbitrarily pay them a bunch of extra money for nebulous reasons?

Always heard about those pallets of cash but never actually knew the details.

Same experience. All the new itemization shit they added was so dumb. Not everything needs RPG elements.

Seconded. Getting flash-developed vaccines for minor ailments would be a seriously smoothbrained thing to do.

Oh that makes sense.

And yep, literally starts with the Ottomans in the second paragraph. Guess I could of figured that out if I actually read into it.

lol and found this in the "talk" section:

I know that his alleged sadism is often mentioned or emphasized in literature, especially in books published by scholars who want to secure their living based on new and new publications about Dracula's life. However, I think we should avoid stupid, biased theories about the origin of his cruelty such "his experiences in the Ottoman Empire" if we cannot refer to actual events which substantiate these assumptions.

Guess they're trying to peel back the coverage of the Ottomans too.

Hmm I ctrl-f'd Muslim and Islam on his wikipedia/infogalactic page and neither word was present in either.

Is there more information about it?

Bet they stopped production since he made it so notorious (and no, the absurdity of it actually being notorious isn't lost on me).

Does he make you wear it when you're just hanging out or whatever? He'd be getting a "go dilate" from me and I'd let him just reeee and fuck off if he kept on about it.

Yes. They need to accept that being gay simply isn't normal. And just like how the default mode of a man without socialization/civilization is that of a brute, being gay comes with some proclivities that they need to keep control of (for men in particular it's exceptionally easy to acquire sex from other men, so they're almost all severe man whores).

Also the fictional characters aside, the real people who like this sort of thing don't realize just how utterly uninteresting all of this gay shit is. It's like how teenage girls think claiming bisexuality or whatever other vogue sexuality makes them more interesting somehow. It doesn't. But they don't care, they just want their validation from <Corporation>. It's demented.

And finally all of this has probably damaged the viability of gay characters in not-shitty media. Once we get past this, if someone wants to include a gay character in their work, as soon as it comes out that they're gay everybody who's not an intersectionalist fool is just going to roll their eyes and assume the worst.

lol that's a lot of trophies.

Reddit sure does love its pedos and pedo enablers.

The coffee lady? Yes I believe so. But she was also the victim of a massive disinformation campaign to make her look like an unreasonable idiot and the public opinion on her is probably still split roughly 50/50.

I would understand if it's not a battle someone is willing to fight.

I would suggest that she sue but we all know what happened last time an old lady sued McDonald's for a legitimately good reason (coffee lady).

Well if it was an actual air rifle, it's going to be quite a bit louder than a bb gun. Still a small fraction of a real gunshot, but it could definitely be loud enough for someone to conceivably hear from next door.

Still, would like to see her reaction to the sound of a real one, even if it's outside of hearing damage distance.

Very very easy to express the important of self defense, and by extension individual sovereignty, in any given fantasy setting.

I don’t think he looks odd but he does have pretty strong prescription glasses that make his eyes look smaller.

Georgia? It says Atlanta, which is already pretty much taken over.

Other than buffing up their left-wing voting numbers a bit, not much should change everywhere else.

Also lol none for Alabama. That's right, we're all a bunch of inbreeding hicks. Don't come here, you'll hate it.

Holy shit imagine the positive impact reading JP's book would have on a teenager? Lucky little shits. Hope that lady didn't figure out how to reverse it.

Well tbh, considering defensive uses aren't counted as homicides, it would just be a virtually blank chart compared to the same chart, but it would at least be funny.
