Didn't people like Alan Wake 2 anyways? Like I remember when I made Starfield threads and pointed to people giving Alan Wake 2 good word of mouth and some guy was like "but no one played Alan Wake 2!" lolAlan Wake 2 would have cleaned up a lot of GOTY awards if not for Baldur's Gate 3. It's crazy that people are holding it up as "go woke go broke" because Remedy "replaced" a Quantum Break cameo character with a black woman. --- hockeybabe89 |

These fucking people have no other comment other than "hey if you don't vote for our guy that is supporting a genocide, we're gonna get a guy that's going to support a genocide even harder" as if any normal person would hear that and think "oh okay that seems logical"And we should want that to stop, beg for it to stop, but Biden will still be better than Trump, regardless of what happens by November with regard to America's support of Israel despite their long history of genociding Palestinians. It will be both moral and logical to select any Democrat over the GOP. If we all tolerated our government's immoral foreign dealings for this long, we can do it for the most important election of our lives. I don't deny the genocide and I wish America would completely abandon Israel as an ally, but I need to be practical about the election. There are other issues on the ballot, many more lives at stake if the GOP wins. I'm pissed that we constantly have to vote for lesser evil, but we can't risk the greater evil winning.

If Biden, in an attempt to get more moderate support, decided to side with the Republicans and help push through anti-trans legislation, would you put yourself on the pyre for the sake of all the other Americans?Nope. How is America continuing to blindly support Israel akin to a president actively killing his own innocent citizens and swearing it's for the good for everyone else? You're making it like it's hypocritical for a regular person to view what happens at home differently than what happens abroad. Was it wrong for people to fight for gay marriage in America while our military was busy bombing the Middle East and funding bad actors? America becoming Nazi Germany would cause a different societal reaction than our State Department making backroom deals with foreign dictatorships. That's just how things go. --- hockeybabe89 |

I just realised that's your main.Joe Biden is going to continue to support Israel. Your choice in November is whether or not women and minorites in America deserve to have human rights in spite of that, whether or not you want the ability to have future elections. Stop viewing it as a vote for Biden. Is the other choice winning better or worse overall? That is all that matters. The candidates and parties involved are largely irrelevant. --- hockeybabe89 |

And this is the fucking election where we can no longer stomach our government's immoral handling of foreign conflicts and our questionable allies? We just don't have the will to survive any longer? The GOP has a loaded gun pressed against the temples of millions of innocent citizens and promises to pull the trigger if they win, and we're going "But ewww the Democrats won't end 80 years of bipartisan Israel support, so is it worth it?" Stop worrying about this party bullshit and vote for whichever option hurts the least people.

And how is it voting a person that actively funding a genocide will help Palestinian?I'm not against it, but the situation we find ourselves in is that he will still be the best option we have even if he does nothing to help Palestine. In that scenario, your options are help Americans or help no one. There would be no third option. We are stuck with a catch 22. We need to criticize our elected officials and hold them accountable, but we also can't afford to not vote and let the worst choice win. You aren't being practical. You're at the switch of the trolley tracks and choosing to leave it up to fate rather than protect as many people as possible. Saving none because you can't save all is not a sensible statement. It's not logical and you can't even call it the proper emotional response. For the millionth time, Biden is not the one primarily being punished if you let the GOP win. It's innocent Americans. You live in America and you're saying "If we can't save Palestine from Israel, then innocent Americans deserve to die." We aren't voting for Biden. We're voting against Trump. If that has to mean Biden wins, oh well. We have to be adults and realize voting isn't always about who you like or who you want. It can be about who you hate the least, about which choice will do the least harm rather than which one will do the most good. A vote doesn't automatically imply support. --- hockeybabe89 |

You are, do yourself a favor and get off it.Does being pro-choice imply that one wants people to get abortions? Yes or no? Or does it merely say they support people having choice?

That's... just being mad about optics. They're the same thing. It's about which side of abortion rights you're on, right?No, it's about being correct. Pro-abortion implies you want people to get abortions. That's not an accurate interpretation. Pro-choice people want you to choose what is right for you. There isn't a bias towards abortion. Anti-abortion people do not want anyone to get abortions and are against people having the choice. Pro and anti-choice are the most accurate descriptors given these facts. --- hockeybabe89 |

I swear this board doesn't understand how a democracy should function. We're so used to this shitty system that we think it's normal to have to justify a genocide because the other side is going to genocide even harder if we don't vote for "the good guys"I mean, how am I wrong? If Biden ignores this all and does absolutely nothing different, he is still far better than the GOP on domestic issues and not putting tens of millions of Americans at risk of disenfranchisement, suffering, death, etc. The entire healthcare system will go from crappy to collapsed. We'll speed run even faster towards environmental ruin. You guys need to be prepared for Biden to stay the shitty course of blind support of Israel. In that instance, are you going to make the utilitarian, damage mitigating choice, or are you going to lose the will to live and not give a fuck what happens to ANYONE? What are we saying? We'd rather everyone die than live in an America where our government supports evil foreign nations? --- hockeybabe89 |

my issue is with naturalist doctrine which a lot of scientists implicitly follow, whether they acknowledge it or not. Assuming natural laws are the only laws that govern the universe is pure ignorance and anyone who subscribes to that notion is ignorant because theyre excluding the possibility of the spiritual / supernatural elements, which lie beyond the realm of understanding, but nevertheless remains a key aspect of civilizations throughout history.Why? Why do we need to actively believe in the possibility of the supernatural? Why can't we just know what we know at any point in time, not know stuff that can't be known and that be good enough? "The books say they are truth and there must be more than nature" Why? Humans are odd. Many of us are so ignorant, yet we created religion because we are too proud to admit ignorance. We always have to fill the gaps in our knowledge with supernatural instead of going "I don't know right now." Everything we know now was once unknowable and beyond our collective understanding. We don't need to rush and have all the answers now. There is no reason to go beyond logic and nature. Why believe in anything? You can't actually explain what makes the Quran or the Bible more real than The Lord of the Rings. So should I actively live with the possibility that Sauron is real, or should I just live as if all unknown, unseen things are not real until they are proven by facts and logic to be real? What makes the contemporary religions so special? --- hockeybabe89 |
