The fact that you think both of these people and their viewpoints deserve equal defense and respect says a lot more about you than it does me.

Yes, that’s exactly the point I was making. Bless your heart, my twelve-year-old buddy.

Would you also consider Martin Luther King Jr. to be a whiny limp-dick centrist for believing in nonviolence?

Going no. 2 and no. 3 at the same time = no. 6.

People born in 2005 probably have no idea what Nero Burning ROM is…

In fact, if you kill or severely maim someone, you’ll always feel conflicted about it if you are a good human

If someone you thought was a good person killed someone else - in self defence let’s say - and didn’t feel bad about it at all, would you then categorise that person as a bad person?

I am not the same person that you replied to.

It’s not an article it’s a random tweet that may or may not have been true.

Um, why? As a general rule, the point of running a simulation is to find out what happens under some circumstances where you don’t know what happens. If you’re imposing conditions like that, then you aren’t so much running a simulation as you are running some kind of procedural generation.

My brother in Christ, there are more consequential things to have a bee in your bonnet about than people who don’t fully type out swear words.

Nah, plenty of billionaires have pilot’s licences. The only way to be sure is to rip and tear until it is done.

I believe the original source for this joke is Frankie Boyle: https://youtu.be/yZOLq82m2Ks

I do now.

That’s an otterly different name!

I know people who are still calling Snickers bars Marathons. Telling people to let it go isn’t going to do you any good, either.

It makes it more likely that you’d get breast cancer - since you would start to grow breasts - but otherwise, no.

Ostracism is how communities change people with bigoted beliefs. When communities ostracise open bigotry, most bigoted people will at least keep their bigotry to themselves, in order not to be ostracised.

If Henry Kissinger got to keep his peace prize, then they’re really wasting their breath.

The pointed stick.

Walkable neighbourhoods with excellent public transport are perfectly (and I would bet more cost-effectively) possible with low and mid rises as you can with high rises. Good examples are Barcelona and Paris.

America’s weird zoning laws are a problem unto themselves. Here in the Old World it’s perfectly normal to have a row of shops and cafes and whatnot in the middle of the suburbs or on the bottom floors of a block of flats. That is the biggest factor in creating walkable neighbourhoods.

Edit: I accidentally a word.

In general I agree, but I am going to have to ask you for a source on that last one.
