The difference is sacrificing for liberty vs. sacrificing for authoritarianism and corruption.

Women are easily deceived. It's part of their nature to be gullible and susceptible to suggestion. I think this is partially God/nature throwing men a bone since it's men who have to woo and convince women to marry them and bear their children. This is also partly because men are intended to be the leaders, both of the family unit and politically.

There have been multiple studies that show women are liberal/progressive until they get married and then they become more conservative, adopting the politics of their male partners who tend to be more conservative.

These feminine qualities are fine in the context of a wife and mother. Problems only arise when women begin exercising political power en masse. There are always exceptions of course, but generally speaking, women weren't meant to lead.

I'm 99% certain it was the actual "nemesis" mechanic. I don't think it's code-level but probably includes a specific design/implementation of the mechanic.

Then again, there's the big question of whether it'd actually hold up in court if challenged.

It's a social game. The gameplay is just a conduit for social interaction. The fun isn't in the gameplay, it's about goofing off with friends.

Warner Brothers would disagree. See: Shadows of Mordor.

You'd be amazed how many people grew up in a once-christian nation during the good times, celebrated when the nation became less christian, and deny that the loss of christianity and rise of leftism has anything to do with the nation's culture changing.

It has been so weird to watch this exact thing happening in real-time over the last 30 years while all along being one of the few people that actually realizes what is happening while it is happening. It’s like watching a car crash in excruciatingly slow motion but nobody believes you when you try to warn them.

Why no sources? It’s hard to take it seriously without sources.

I know you’re half joking but this is seriously what they believe. In their perverse worldview they believe everyone has the potential to be gay and all that’s required is that they love someone enough. This is why in movies and television straight characters (especially women) will turn bisexual at the drop of a hat, and it’s played off as “liberating”.

They really do want everyone to be gay or bisexual or pansexual… anything except heterosexual.

Thank you! I was wracking by brain and couldn’t remember what it was called. :)

Our very existence offends them. They blame us for everything wrong in the world. They hate the fact that people like us even exist. That is why it doesn’t matter if we separate and go live somewhere else. They’re tormented by our very existence, so there’s literally nothing we can do to satisfy them except cease existing.

I’ve been studying these people my entire life and let me tell you, as dramatic as it sounds, this is the truth.

Make no mistake, Islam and the Woke Left converge at the same point, which is why they’re allies despite appearing to be polar opposites. Islam puts on a facade of morality but in reality they encourage pedophilia same as the perverts on the Left do… they just invoke Muhammed’s name to give it a veneer of righteous justification.

Either side you choose, it eventually leads to the oppression of women, the abuse of children, sexual perversion, and the unquestionable supreme authority of the state.

Jordan Peterson, for all his insight into human nature and the threat posed by Marxism and controlled speech, is naive when it comes to current-day political issues.

He doesn't understand the degree to which ALL Western institutions have been corrupted. He doesn't understand the very present and immediate threat represented by those currently in power. Despite being the victim of slander and misrepresentation by the media himself, he still trusts much of what they say when it comes to topics he himself isn't intimately familiar with (I believe there was a term for this type of cognitive bias... not sure). Somehow he still cannot believe that Democrats and the Left are so corrupt that they'd stoop to rigging an election on a mass level, or that it's even possible even if they wanted to (showing his ignorance of the American electoral system). Likewise, he can't comprehend the mass manipulation and drive for power motivating the Covid narrative.

It's one thing to be wise and have insight related to psychology and human nature... it's a very different (and very frightening) thing to recognize the true nature of the battlefield that we're currently standing on.

Religion has no value except for controlling the masses.

A common atheist belief with no basis in reality.

Religion is inevitable... even atheists adhere to a worldview with underlying assumptions, and dogma isn't uniquely religious. Everyone is religious in this respect.

I’m sure Leftists would agree. Leftists are what you get when a society rejects Christianity and goes full atheist.

Every western society that rejects Christianity ends up losing its mind and embracing collectivism and authoritarianism.

I also note that most anti-theists are like homosexuals in that they almost always had some childhood trauma that fuels their anti-religious resentment. Simple atheists rarely harbor such resentment, and many even recognize the value of Christianity and religion in general.

I understand the sentiment but wholeheartedly disagree. Islam is just a nightmare of a different kind.

At one point perhaps, but things have been changed. They weren’t able to destroy Trump. They had to rely on corrupt elections to do that.

People always get it backwards… corporations aren’t the ones in control, government is. Corporations buy influence from politicians, not the other way around. It’s important to remember government has the ability to shut down anything, for whatever invented reason they can invent. Government has a monopoly on the use of force that corporations simply can’t compete with.

Too true. Announcement of an investigation by government is equivalent to telling corporations and foreign interests that you’re “open for business and taking all bribes”.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. — Matthew 5:10-12

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. — 1 Peter 4:12–13

If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you — John 15:18

Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice on that day and jump for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to treat the prophets the same way. — Luke 6:22-23

Devout Christians understand that persecution is to be expected, and suffered gracefully, if possible.

Liberals believe racism is an ever-growing issue because they are told to think this by the establishment and they’re incapable or unwilling to challenge the establishment and think for themselves.

The establishment, on the other hand, needs racism to exist because that’s how they maintain their political power… by keeping the disadvantaged weak and dependent and susceptible to bribes while tearing down the confidence of the opposition through guilt.

Or we could call it "Red Hat Linux"... you know, a nod to the MAGA hats... oh, someone is already using that name? Darn it. Nevermind.

Skyrim is one of those games where I'm more excited by the potential of the game -- what it could have been -- than by the game itself which is pretty shallow and broken.

I'm just surprised nobody is even attempting to compete with Skyrim and Elder Scrolls in the first-person sandbox RPG space. You'd think someone would want a piece of that market.

Leftists are radical by nature. The "moderate" Leftists are just those who keep their head down for the sake of infiltrating our institutions. Often times it's difficult to discern the "moderate" Leftists from the liberals with good intentions who end up supporting the Leftist causes out of ignorance or naivety... the end result is often the same.

Is this the girl from Killjoys?

I enjoyed Killjoys for what it was, but she was always an oddball.

“Taking On Putin”?

Give me a break. The guy can barely managing taking on a speech longer than two sentences… he’s not all there, and everyone knows it. His “presidency” is the most blatant case of “the emperor has no clothes” that I’ve ever seen in politics.
