Whataboutism is in fact extremely important. Whatever your intentions, you simply cannot make a good case against X if you are doing X yourself or you have no credibility. It's like calling a witness with a long history of perjury convictions to testify against someone else at trial - you could turn an airtight guilty verdict into a not guilty verdict calling this witness.

People with no credibility need to recognize it. This is the problem with the media attacking Trump. The media (and Hillary) are the only people in the country with less credibility than Trump. So every attack they make against him in fact helps him.

Yeah, that's fair. I just think that we *are* avoiding using nuclear weapons

Chemical and biological weapons are considered especially bad not because of their raw numerical killing potential, but because of the excessively insidious and painful ways they damage humans (among other things)

Nuclear weapons are also bad- the cold war was pretty much about trying really hard not to use them- but whataboutisms dont get us anywhere

Does it have to be a collective misremembering for it to count?

I played Magic; the Gathering as a kid. On the back of the cards I distinctly remember the 5 colors, in WUBRG order, starting from the top, going counter-clockwise around in a circle.

Apparently it was clockwise this entire time! I have no idea why Id misremember something like that. Even though I know its wrong, whenever I visualize the color pie, black is in the bottom left and green in the top right, and so on.

Ive never heard of anyone else making this mistake. Its weird!

Maybe one for someone's last great work?

It's up to you. Just be mentally prepared to accept the consequences of taking on a risk.

Some of my cash was tied up in bitcoin for four years. I bought at $1000 in 2013, and it crashed and didn't get back to a worthy sellable state until 2017

That's four years of not having your money, and not knowing if it'll ever come back in value. So don't gamble anything that you would miss

I ended up chickening out and only doubling my money, when I could have multiplied it by ten. Take that as you will.

I personally just dump a percentage of every paycheck into VUG ETF. Not going to win the lottery, but has gone up 50% in the past four years and quadrupled since 2008, which is not bad.

I'm basically just playing to not lose money due to inflation

thank you for sharing this with us

all i can say is that your life is going to change no matter what you do. there's nothing you can do to stop it. breaking up with your girlfriend to keep your parents healthy, your job amazing, and your friends available won't work

i have a second thing to say. you don't have a responsibility to make the hard decision for her. i know that as a man it can feel that way (some might call it 'the lingering vestiges of a patriarchal society' or something), but you're both human and equal- she can end it just as easily as you can and she understands the risks. you care about her and want to make guarantees about the future, but no one can do that. it is impossible. she knows you aren't guaranteed to stay with her in portugal forever. if you want to try, try. if you don't, don't. if you try and then go back home forever after three months or six months or three years, tough noogies.

you talk about patching things up, but it honestly sounds like there's nothing wrong with the relationship, just with geography. that's not common. as i've heard, the singular, deciding, tautological quality that predicts whether a relationship continues in the long run is the couple's unwillingness to break up. so, how unwilling to break up are you?

lastly, no matter what you end up doing (you're both obviously perched between two hard places), your life is going to be a very fun and interesting ride. things are difficult for everyone from time to time, and this is a very common mid-20s crisis to have

I used to be a whiskey man, but in all honesty vodka tastes less & better, and can blend more seamlessly into other drinks.

I used to care about whiskey putting hair on my chest, but I'm not so worried about that anymore.

Maybe I just haven't had the really good stuff, but at lower price points it's hard to beat some belvedere mixed with whatever.

I imagine it's pretty nice to not have bad actors coming into a topic, stinking up the joint, and derailing the discussion even though you had them ignored

It's slightly closer to what people can do in real life- i.e. not invite annoying people into their conversations

I used to know the details of the argument but IIRC our conclusion was that it is now pretty definitively lebron > mj >> rest

Back in like 2012 it was still debatable, but I think by 2016 it wasn't, really.

It's a little difficult because you can't even really look at personal honors, because at a certain point of dominance the committees get bored and give them to someone new just to shake things up

Overpopulation is not preventable. Sex is just too good

well-off people have fewer children and better access to contraceptives

there may be a correlation

Most of the world is not well-off

Fair point- the hope is that if we improve most of the world with access to contraceptives (among other things) we could maybe avoid the overpopulation problem

Not sure about the overall climate change thing

I'll add on to the pile to say you dont need to play 1 or 2.

Theyre side quests in the series greater lore.

On top of that, the writing in 3 is actually good, which means all characters are properly and naturally introduced with enough context.

Yeah, so why does he ignore valid points and rather kick up trouble and only respond to cherry picked nonsense?

I guess this means he's in the same category as vlado? Vlado is not a troll, but similarly ignores intelligent people that are willing to have real discussions, because to him that is closer to losing an argument than winning one

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. I would hope the goal of talking to other people is to mix ideas and see things from another perspective. Even if you don't agree, it lets you see a different type of thought process

I'm just disappointed when people are incapable of engaging honestly. Maybe they are just there to ejaculate whatever basic assumptions they have and never actually listen to anything

And maybe more people on this board would end up falling into that category if I talked with them moreoften. I'm not making a comment about any particular political leaning. People come on to vent and try to stick it to someone, whatever.

Wait, there's a difference between blocking and ignoring?

Ignoring makes it so you don't see their posts
Blocking is new and makes it so they can't see your posts/topics

It can feel unfair or raw that you as a man don't have any control over the situation, but you're also not the one that would have to undergo all the physiological changes that go along with growing an 8lb tumor that will eventually turn into a human. You can just turn around and impregnate someone else. That's the inherent unfairness of reality.

He is literally using the baby is a parasite debate. Holy hell. I thought I would never see this argument actually in real life debate!!!

And 8 pound tumor? He is saying a fully formed baby is a tumor. Wild.

Corrik, is this actually what you took away from my entire post?

For the god damn record, i was using that word flippantly. You are too easily offended.

I've tried to be nice to you in the past, but you're not going to be able to convince me you're not a troll for much longer.

Every single person on my ignore list- which is at a big fat size of two- ignores every good point someone approaches them with

Regardless of whether they're trolling or just incredibly near-sighted, it doesn't matter to me.

Convince me you're neither of those things, please, corrik.

I should add that the show is fun but it's in some ways predictable

The characters always behave in a certain way regardless of what obstacles are thrown at them

It's less laugh out loud hilarious and more fun to just see them doing their thing

Women have been getting abortions since the beginning of time. There are literally instructions on how to do it in the old testament of the bible.

It can feel unfair or raw that you as a man don't have any control over the situation, but you're also not the one that would have to undergo all the physiological changes that go along with growing an 8lb tumor that will eventually turn into a human. You can just turn around and impregnate someone else. That's the inherent unfairness of reality.

Asking women to pretend birth control and abortion donot exist and then demanding they "suffer the consequences" of having sex is weird.

Yeah. Gamergate was either co-opted into or partially created as an alt-right recruiting tool.

At first I was in passive support of what I thought the message was- "game reviews are generally paid advertisements and/or designed for clicks and not to be trusted"

But over time the community that stuck with it somehow transitioned that into "I hate dumb bitches and the main stream PC culture that tells me I'm being toxic or sexist and that my video games are, too."

It makes me personally super dumb. Like, can't think of anything to say or think dumb.

So I have to avoid using it

Also had a roommate that would always smoke indoors and couldn't believe that the smell was getting into my bedroom every time, so there's another negative association

Overall it helps a lot of people and is fun for many others so as a whole I think it's a net positive for humanity. Still voted bad because my body doesn't enjoy it

I guess I had a good time with edibles once or twice.

Can think of at least 8 drugz I like better, though

Well Developed>Silent>Bad Character

I'll take silent over a titus or a vaan any day.

This is pretty much why games play it safe with silent or generic/trope-tested protagonists.

Tidus is an excellently developed character. Does that mean he's flawed and sometimes annoying? Absolutely.

But there is a reason for that and an arc to it
