I was about to say, like, the coloring of the shirt made it look like she was wearing a bra, which made the messaging about going braless kind of seem… stupid?

I want wealth because I lack self love and wish I had enough money to buy it

Kind of funny to think about if Jesus learned English through prayers, so he assumes that “Please let me win the lottery” translates to, “Hi, how are you doing?”

The ruling class of America have gone so far past hubris they are touching on surquedry.

Would be a shame if some sort of Greek tragedy would unfold.

And it’s almost as if getting the support of the people is a smart thing when you’re attempting to do a large public work.

I guess you can’t teach assholes how to not shit on everything.

Facebook: makes a system where the only way to get engagement is to hatepost.

People on facebook: hateposts

People: “How could this happen?”

I bet most of them are affiliated with a Christian church of some variety, at least 60%

I didn’t mind it at all, but I had decent hardware, which apparently made all of the difference.

The trolley is still relevant because if you don’t step into the transporter, people die. If you do, there’s a good chance some version of you dies, but some version of you survives. So is the current version of you more valuable than the lives of the people on the track?

There was a movie about it called The Prestige.

I think the real argument or concern behind this is, do we have a soul?

If not, then yes, stepping into a transporter means that you die, and that some other version of you continues on, but that doesn’t matter because nothing was actually lost.

If we do have a soul, then the question becomes, does your soul survive the transport?

If it does, then it’s no worries, it’s just a means of transportation.

But if it doesn’t, then does the version of you that pops out of the other side have a brand new soul, or is it now soulless?

And finally, how could we ever tell?

I’m willing to die to save people, so if some version of me actually gets to survive it, with there being a chance that it is me, then there’s no reason for me not to do it.

What is a sissy hypno mode?

Dunning Kuger is also at play. People who are, like, given a little bit of knowledge on a topic will often overestimate their abilities. But on the flip side, people who have a lot of knowledge on something tend to underestimate their abilities.

Without some narcissism and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get what you want, you could very well be the world leader in a particular subject and by all other metrics be completely unknown, unknowable, and uninteresting.

For real, there was nothing particularly special about Hitler that made him the one and only being of his type.

It was a confluence of multiple differing things, the emergence of new media technologies, and the ability to repeat a single message over and over again to as many people as needed to hear them without any equally as loud voices of dissent.

Combine that with an incredible financial depression and the consequences of an ill thought war being foisted upon your country’s shoulders.

Admittedly, it was his own personal biases against the Jewish people that caused the Holocaust, and the Aktion T4 was similarly born out of his hatred of people with mental disabilities.

In any case, if you take a miserable nation, give them a lightning rod to direct all of the misery of their own lives at, and an eloquent or charismatic leader to tell them it is okay to vent their frustrations on the helpless people that surround them, then you too can create another Hitler.

Also, with Linux, do you really need the whole potato?

Give me the internet and about 2 hours

Honor every religion as if it were true to itself and you’ll be happier.

The rape is off camera and downplayed immensely, but 8t does happen from an objective viewpoint

I’ve read one where the guy basically had Minecraft powers and so he built a wall and then destroyed the supporting blocks and the wall stayed floating in air.

It had the potential to be pretty interesting, but it quickly turned into a monster girl harem manga.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that in and of itself, but I gave up on it when the lead heroine used sleep magic so that the average japanese man MC could be raped by a bunch of harpies.

There was also a disturbing amount of butt stuff forced on the MC. Kinda weird all in all.
