  • me when I hear the phrase "biological male(s)" 😖

  • I think overall it's healthier anyway to call these people jerks. While this is a characteristic of men who grew up in a society that prioritized them it's not exclusive to men, and there are plenty of exceptions. Which makes it kind of a bad turn of phrase right? So this behavior is not a result of an inherent trait, it's just a result of bad parenting and a bad environment which means both that they can change and it's clear that this behavior isn't just a descriptor, but simply unacceptable.

    Also as this meme points out "male socialized" is used by people against trans women to signal that they don't actually see them as women which if no one bigoted is using it makes it much easier to call out when it happens.

  • Oppressed minority

  • Yeah, and the clear implication that they would have to have is that they were killed because they were cyclists?? Otherwise, I'm positive hundreds if not thousands (idk the demographics) of Jews were killed by accident, killed in hospitals, killed for other identities, over gambling debts etc.

  • What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?

  • I log in once a week to play ability draft. Nobody cares about the game in ability draft and it's a blast.

  • What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?

  • Yeah, everyone has their first pokemon game that they loved and every other game is so similar it falls off fast. At least for me the reason my first pokemon game is so beloved is because it was also one of the first video games I ever played front-to-back.

    Pokemon also has the rare distinction that (at least for kids) the world and aesthetics carry some of the worst mechanics on their backs allowing you to finish it.

  • What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?

  • I've always somewhat agreed. I've played elden ring and some DS 3. I think the world design is very fun, and most fights individually can be fun. But at the end of the day every boss fight is a janky rhythm game that gets longer and longer.

    I see the appeal, but the most I do like once a month is jump in Elden Ring for an hour or two where I bumble around exploring or upgrading my stuff, find a boss fight, and just learn the funny Osu!-like pattern to beat it. It never leaves me mesmerized or champing at the bit for more like I've seen some of my friends get obsessed with it.

  • You also can't spell it without "ack, all bongo"

  • His audition for Human Centipede was a mess

  • It's even more nic cage because the character is obviously heavily stylized, but I would never say that it's like a spider trying to be a person.

  • Easy [The Square Comics]

  • Idk but if we don't figure it out someone's going to pay for it. Technology allows us to make way too much excess wealth for these kinds of questions to be serious.

  • what?

  • Or dig their grave and bury them, dig another grave a couple yards away but leave it open, and give vague directions with an anonymous tip pretending to be an accomplice or something. Then when the police come they see the open grave they conclude that you've taken the body back out and presumably taken it somewhere else.

  • Hate to see it

  • I mean palantir is pretty fucking close. While technically it's neutral in-lore and only used for evil in the story. We see it as an evil object used by the bad guys and that's the association it has.

  • Darurk humorur enjoyerur

  • Lol this meme only makes sense if you're also on reddit (guilty). The meme on top has been making the rounds on reddit but I haven't seen it on lemmy.

  • Character development in real life rule

  • That's why this is confusing and non-sequiter. You replied to someone asking whether he had made amends with his victims. That's not a desire for VENGEANCE, that's not even necessarily a punishment if he has the right attitude, and it most definitely doesn't imply that they don't think the guy was a product of his upbringing and culture. So all of these replies are just bizarre in context.

  • Technology

  • Lol. It's a fine idea but my first thought was someone going: "Yeah, sometimes I just want to listen to the laughter from a Bill Cosby special."

  • batman effect

  • "sorry, I would give you my seat, but Batman's here and I want to skew the data"

  • Judge approves a $1.5B Anthropic settlement over pirated books used to train the Claude chatbot

  • And 90% goes to the lawyers.

  • More Americans report shoplifting as inflation climbs, survey finds

  • By telling people not to shoplift you're increasing the price for them from 0$ to retail. Nice going.

  • Character development in real life rule

  • Ok... Then I suppose my response is that I don't really see what your response has to do at all with mine.

    I actually agree that the idea of free will is at the very least unknowable leaning towards non-existent and whether we have it or not we get better outcomes when we act as if it does.

    But my comment doesn't concern free will, or at least it applies whether we think it exists or not. Morality and accountability are both social constructs and despite that they are about as important as anything when it comes to what we think is right for a person to do when they commit what we consider atrocities.

    I think you're retreating to a 10,000 ft philosophical view about free will and the subjective morality of the human condition and... I don't really see how it applies or what the point is. Are you just assuming you're educating someone about absurdism and stoicism? If that's the case then I would encourage you to take the walk back down the mountain. As you understand philosophy you must come to grips with the fact that at the end of the day we're all left facing the messy, amoral milieu that we live our lives in and we are able to affect. Despite our acceptance of the empty boats that plague us we still face their consequences and live short lives in a short-lived society that we are able to improve.
