Philosophy Tube. After she transitioned, she’s pretty much talked about nothing except trans issues and went more blatantly to the left.

fosforus,

I thought there was definite leftness there, I feel like it was perhaps more moderate, balanced, and based on facts. But perhaps I just grew up.

Who is miss is Oliver. Abigail is nice, but I identified with Oliver in a lot of ways.

Yeah, I suppose this happened to me as well. She’s a good actor.

fosforus,

Well, people don’t of course all grow to the same direction.

I think we old people (in 40+s) generally appreciate when young people passionately achieve something, even if it doesn’t exactly align with our own values.

fosforus,

She can do that, it is 100% her right, and I can understand a celebratory phase. But to me, personally, that quickly becomes uninteresting.

It’s all fine. I can do something else and I’m sure she’ll survive without my ad-blocked views.

fosforus,

the God is the same for all of them

Entirely fictional.

fosforus,

Time to cash in on that sweet sweet nostalgia again.

Poll shows Palestinians back Oct. 7 attack on Israel, support for Hamas rises (www.reuters.com)

Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.

fosforus,

This should remove any doubt whether Palestinians are aligned with Hamas. They are not that innocent.

fosforus,

Your comment suggests that you are completely immoral and thoroughly evil. Please stop talking to me as long as those two things are true.

fosforus,

They could have used the several hundreds of millions of eurodollars of donations on building those things instead of building weapons of war. But they chose not to. There’s no reason to feel sympathy for somebody who destroys their own opportunities like that.

fosforus,

Children don’t generally take responsibility of anything: adults do.

fosforus, (edited )

all it does is expose a huge double standard

No, a simple unistandard. I’ll illustrate with a meme.

fosforus,

No good guys fighting there ATM.

IDF are the good guys, just like the Ukrainian army is. That doesn’t mean that every single individual in either army are angels or that every operation is virtuous, just that their overall intentions are just.

An important question: What would the world look like if these guys won versus if they lost?

fosforus,

Perhaps majority of the people who hate my comments about Israel vs Hamas have already blocked me

fosforus,

Ends are more important.

fosforus, (edited )

Oh, I didn’t realize you asked “do ends always justify the means?”. My mistake.

fosforus,

There’s a pretty big difference between “I want to murder all sexual minorities” and “I wish there weren’t any sexual minorities”. The former is an actionable thing whereas the latter is picturing some sort of a utopia. Of course, if the latter leads to inaction when somebody else is doing the former, then that’s no good either.

fosforus,

If the Russian regime cared about human life, that might mean something. But I suppose they will run out of young and poor men at some point.

fosforus,

If they spent more time playing Civilization and less time raping their neighbors, they’d know that you cannot occupy a city with air units.

fosforus,

Of course it’s good to help a child, but this smells like a propaganda piece.

Even if it’s 100% true and happened exactly like it’s described in the article, it’s obviously propaganda.

fosforus,

Yep, it’s obvious that that’s how many people here see all their problems.

fosforus,

I think having a human have that much power is not a good idea. Therefore we should give that power to an AI.

fosforus,

What were you promised? Like, owning a home? Home ownership rates in the US have been in the 63-70% range during all of 1966-2023, almost completely stable. Local purchasing power is #5 in the world for americans. What exactly is the problem over there?

We in Europe are having it much worse if you look at the data, especially now when Russia is being fucking Russia.

fosforus,

Or perhaps we know history and economics.

fosforus,

So 30% of people can’t afford their own house and that doesn’t seem like inequality to you?

Income inequality is a completely different thing from home ownership. Also, some of those 30% choose to not own a house. Also further, the average home ownership rate in EU is almost exactly the same as in the US, but our local purchasing power tends to be quite a lot worse.

USA is doing pretty fine economically.

fosforus,

You’re implying that the meme “capitalism bad” has amazing amounts of nuance.

fosforus,

Perhaps things are different where you live, but where I live, there’s always a significant additional bureaucratic cost when selling a house and buying another one. Because of that, renting has at least a single clear benefit beyond just being able to afford it: greater flexibility. Also, the financial risk is almost zero when you rent.

fosforus,

Well, you’re not wrong, but what I replied to (“don’t know what capitalism is” and “are rent seekers”) wasn’t exactly filled with nuance, either.

fosforus,

And by the way - what do you think causes the financial risk of home ownership

Accidents, subpar maintenance, market changes, divorce.

fosforus,

That’s cute, but also not how any of this works.

I suggest www.amazon.com/…/0465060730 – it’s 700 pages but I’m sure you can do it if you put some effort in.

fosforus,

Ok, so which multiple award-winning, widely respected PhD of Economics would you suggest instead? Or you just against things instead of having any positions of your own, like most other deep-end socialists are?

fosforus,

Fair enough.

fosforus,

Makes bad jokes, doesn’t reply to actual content or even check out the book I recommended, assumes content from book title. Calls me a coward for making bad jokes.

Well done, 10 internet points to you my friend.

fosforus,

Answer my fucking comment.

Read the book. Educate yourself beyond the crap you’ve studied so far.

Also, I have Cowbee’s statements to lean on, which you yourself conceded to, to know what the book is like.

I conceded that he has such an opinion.

Do you need more internet points for being so incredible?

fosforus,

An incredibly simplistic take on complex gender identity issues, at this time of the day, localized entirely on [email protected]?

fosforus,

More like a combinatorics table, with 99% of individuals having one of the two largest combinations.

fosforus,

Biological sex is also a social construct lmao

What? No.

This is the kind of shit that makes trans activism completely ridiculous.

fosforus,

An inch isn’t some innate objective truth, it is a common standard.

Do you mean that just like we have defined inch the length that is exactly 25.4mm (where mm is the length light travels in 1/299792458 seconds in a vacuum, seconds being whatever the fuck they are), we have also defined animals with XX chromosome females, and if they’re human, women, while recognizing that there are rare exceptions?

fosforus,

Reality seems to again be more like Aldous Huxley than George Orwell. We will pay to get these things in our heads eventually.

fosforus,

So’s Twitter for some reason: aljazeera.com/…/social-media-platform-x-added-10-…

fosforus,

Well no, not perfectly. America is a large place, and some states are less fascistic, some more. The constitution is markedly anti-fascistic.

fosforus, (edited )

This is of course subjective, but I feel like introducing a new monster type is far less impressive or impactful for a series you passively watch compared to a game where you have to beat that monster.
