As long as we're not tossing billions of dollars into it for no reason, it's definitely something worth pursuing to set up a foundation for it. Who knows what'll happen in the next couple decades assuming we don't kill ourselves.

Hormones make animals do strange things. Same reason why a large animal can absolutely love its owner and then randomly kill them one day because the owner did something just slightly off.

Assuming it's a race simulating a universe, we'd just be an inconsequential byproduct of the simulation being extremely realistic. As for why, such an advanced race is beyond our current comprehension.

There is definitely a point where the extreme fringe lose grasp of actual reality, but I wouldn't say there's currently any real threat from them compared to the far right. They just make up shit to be offended about and larp as revolutionaries.

I don't think there's any need to be way overly critical of anyone other than the old lady unless they're using her as a scapegoat, but I do think the message and apology from the director was necessary. We do have tons of outdated legal shit, but you should at least be expected to go over your own documents when you take over.

Communism has definitely been turned into an ever-present boogeyman, but that doesn't mean there's anything in communism worth even inspecting outside of studying an inherently broken system.

I never really get this complaint because it acts like people being murdered by police is a particularly common event. Each police interaction is its own thing, and the grand majority of people of all races make it out of police encounters alive. We can say out of police murdering citizens that a disproportionate amount are black and likely links to a racist bias, but this is just being outraged for the sake of being outraged.

Cis is just ugly as a prefix. Generally, it's kind of redundant to use as well. If it's a case where the status of a trans person doesn't matter, then "men/women" would suffice. If the status of a trans person does matter, "men/women and trans men/women" would suffice. I cannot think of a discussion where it's particularly necessary to use to understand context.

There is an issue of dismissing developmental issues like bullying or harassing girls because "that's just what boys do," but it's just one of those things people with no actual argument like to harp on. Though it's quite the dead horse, the Gillette commercial in particular was really stupid because it displayed normal roughhousing as if two children play fighting is inherently bad. Action and consequences depend on the context.

UI definitely. It's such a power boost that you could probably kill an elephant with it. Just get into boxing, get some viral videos of knocking people out in one punch with little effort and dodging punches with your eyes closed, get into a Twitter beef with some semi-famous boxer, and then work your way up to some big ass pay per view fight.

You wont be laughing when the Simp Army is knocking on your door.

Nah, the actual game is pretty mediocre. It's a fabulous tool for creative people though, and its vast influence can certainly never be doubted.

Frozen, assuming it's viable by the time I die.

Assuming family means anyone, some random second cousin I've never met.

Looks like he's cameoed a ton as himself already, so seems like nonsense.

There's understanding the relations and dynamics behind race, and then there's somehow making race into a personality trait and inserting it into every single situation regardless of relevance. Why people like this do the latter, I'll never understand.

I think measures like this should simply replace jail time with forced detoxing and rehabilitation rather than just fine them and let them go on their merry way. You can't stop them from using again, but taking away 30-90 days of their time and having them leave sober probably would help some percentage.

>it's not him but he's just made an account solely to spam this dummy's vidoes

So can I spam shit for my friend's website?

If your friend was a semi-famous e-celeb with a following of over five million people, I doubt people would care.

wow guys
a LEAD mod posted?

so let me get this straight lead mod

let me hold up and smoke my cigs

you are TELLING me
LITERALLY ADVERTISING SPAM accounts for a channel are allowed?

or is it that you just don't want to mod it?

You don't actually think the dude posting here is the Youtuber, right?

Unless there's some super obvious indication I'm missing, seems like more of an "oops, my bad" kind of thing rather than the rabid mob acting like she needs to beg for forgiveness in those replies.

Sephiroth has a personality, but it's nothing particularly special. He doesn't feel compelling outside of his overall design and imposing nature, which is the main source of his popularity. Kefka is very basic, but that works to his advantage. He's very pure in his evilness, which is one of the hallmarks of beloved characters like the Far Cry 2 dude.

I will never for the life of me understand this level of obsession for a console with zero killer apps.

Pretty much any social movement nowadays has the lazy variant that seeks to cast blame to feel good about themselves so they don't have to do any actual activism. Feminism, at least in terms of the vocal idiots, has definitely gotten that reputation, but that doesn't mean anyone who identifies as a feminist is a shitty person.

Really depends on the specifics, but vampire in general .

Yeah, man. That's why we should house them first, and then work on their addiction. You literally cannot convince an addict up front to stop. But it's cheaper in the long run to house people with supportive services on site than to let them just kill themselves in the streets.

I'm not saying it's easy, but the solution isn't complicated so much as political. If we funded this stuff through pubic revenue directly, through higher taxes if necessary, that would work best.

I don't think it's really possible to house an active addict who has lost control to the point of homelessness unless they're being forced to detox or have sought help themselves. You're at best creating a situation where they're going to wreck a viable living environment for someone who actually wants the help, or worst case just creating a possible crime scene (other than the existence of the drugs).

It's gotten harder since then. Also they are looking for the "right" candidates.

In fast food, they require you to cover your tattoos, irregardless of your personality, or your tats in general. (I got none)

They also require you to be clean shaven, but the GMs did not need to do that at all.

Idealistically, this help would come with free classes dealing in resources on obtaining work, workshops to form connections with prospective businesses who can take the time to train these people on the government's dime, etc. Ultimately, such measures cannot have a 100% success rate, but a major push for something like that would definitely be a lot better than the current situation.

Do you know how job interviews work?

I'm not sure what you think I said.

I just lost a brain cell reading this. You realize that they can be helped by giving them access to quality mental health treatment?

Will you hire someone to stay with them 24/7 to make sure the keep up on their meds? There are definitely people out there who can likely bounce back if they're given the help we're currently not giving them, but there are those who will not respond to that help. We can do much better than we're currently doing in terms of the number of shelters, resources for addiction, resources for mental health, and resources for housing, education, and jobs, but there are lost causes out there.

While we can definitely do a much better job providing assistance to the homeless, there will always be a chunk that can truly not be helped, whether due to mental illness, substance abuse, violence, or whatever else. Unless you want to forcibly round them up and force them into institutions, they'll sadly always exist.

If someone asks you if you like men or women sexually, you have a preference for one over the other. It doesn't matter if you have a 0% chance of being interested. It's still a preference. That some people use the word "preference" in a snide, derisive way against gay people doesn't change that. You're being overly pedantic for the purpose of seeming virtuous.

Do people actually watch these 5-10 hour videos start to end? I dont get why people make one behemoth of a video instead of just spreading it out into more easily consumable 20 minute chunks. While someone can simply just watch pieces of a large video at a time, youre going to have a much better time with viewer retention by having them come back daily rather than hope that they eventually finish the video.

Not only did he let his property fall into such a state of disrepair that it has to be demolished, but then he tried to kill the person living there, too.

Guy needs to go to jail and never be allowed to own property again.

There is the possibility this is an evicted squatter living in such disgusting conditions that you cant even tell someone is living there. One of the two parties has to been insane for the situation to make any sense, thats for certain.

There are so many ways this could go, from psychopath, murderous landlord to freaky Gollum-like tenant living in the rafters after supposedly being evicted.

It's definitely in a grey ethical area in terms of medical professionals overstepping their bounds and not including the parents, but there's definitely not much morally wrong with helping someone who got only fifteen years of life get even some temporary happiness so long as it doesn't harm someone else.

Outside of overthrowing a true dictatorship government, there is no cause that would make that justifiable.

For what it could have been as the first major console release, its an utter disappointment. As just another game in the series, its fine.

Yes, it's quite good. If you're a classic Zelda fan, you might be disappointed. If you love open world exploration, it's one of the best in terms of just going almost nearly whereever you want without any need for preparation.

Whether the person was "dismantled" depends on the type of troll. There are the types who get off on outbursts like that and the types who have actual negative emotional reactions to being called out. It was definitely a pretty solid takedown on trolls in general though.

I'd say it goes in waves, but the right is really fucking off the deep end right now.

It's definitely a system that only has value if the society believes in it, so it's a physical/digital representation of a system of trust that can lose its value if that trust is lost. Depending on the context, it's safe to say it's not truly real because money itself has no inherent value.

Once the cop was in that specific situation, you can't really blame him, but there should be better systems in place so the cop isn't in that situation. Why is a single officer responding? Why don't they come equipped with something for restraining someone who is mentally ill but otherwise unarmed? It's fine to be prepared for the worst in case it's someone who wants to go suicide by cop, but otherwise they should be equipped and prepared to restrain someone who is going to physically resist and lacks the mental capacity to respond to commands.

Nah, I'd want way more to have to deal with that. Also would need to come with indestructible feet and immunity to the elements.

While people irrationally get upset about anything, the typical thing is more that you see these dumbasses who need loans, get advances, borrow money, etc while claiming they're barely scraping by, but then buy a new TV or get a tattoo. Then there are the even worse people who do all that, but their kids are the ones who suffer the most.

Sure. Would suck if I ever need a service dog, but otherwise I couldn't care less.

Seeing it as making the step-father less of a man is definitely a weird take, but people should also understand that it is undesirable for a good chunk of people.

Hopefully they actually fight to a conclusion instead of needing to team up to fight a greater threat.

I wouldnt really call that abuse, but its definitely a sign of him being a shitty person and very well could be an indicator of an abuser. If hes screaming at a literal baby on camera for something so trivial, who knows what hed do to a petulant toddler refusing to listen to him off camera.

Looks like a badly written, self-insert fetishistic love interest kind of thing, but there's nothing particularly wrong with that existing in the Fallout setting. It's slightly hypocritical going by that Enclave thing, but I think the difference is one is a single action of evil while the Enclave is full mustache twirling evil in which you'd need to write dozens of evil missions.
