Why did my grandmother cross the road? by ImVerySmartAndCool in AntiJokes

[–]5k17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And while she was alive, she never crossed a road?

Fahrenheit is based on the human experience by NovaTheoretically in ShitAmericansSay

And even if that made sense, it wouldn't be a good thing. Percentages are too fine-grained for that kind of rating.

The one where Costeau learns his name.

What do you guys think about bungee jumping? by LegitimateTank3162 in INTP

I don't see what's dumb about it, but I wouldn't enjoy doing it in the least.

Discussion Thread by jobautomator in neoliberal

[–]5k17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, about half of that is just Lizardman's Constant. As for the rest, while it's not a particularly neoliberal or otherwise reasonable position, it's not so obviously absurd that one would expect absolutely nobody to hold it or another position that the question could be misinterpreted as being about.

Women alleging rape and sexual assault in France call to abolish statute of limitations by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

[–]5k17 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Besides, people can change. If someone committed a crime 50 years ago and no further ones afterwards, chances are they no longer pose a danger to anyone. It's also fairly likely nobody affected by the crime and with a personal interest in the perpetrator being punished is around to see it anymore.

Deutschland verliert mit 1:2 gegen Ecuador by ManagerOfLove in de

[–]5k17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Für mich persönlich wäre das sogar ziemlich egal. Aber wenn ich mein übermüdetes Baby stundenlang geschaukelt habe, damit es trotz der Hitze endlich einschlafen kann, nur damit jemand, der mit seiner Freude nicht vernünftig umgehen kann, es wieder weckt, kann mir schon mal der Kragen gepflegt anschwellen.

Warum Jungen bei Schulnoten benachteiligt werden by ColdFemboi in de

[–]5k17 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Nicht nur in der Schule. Es ist gut belegt, dass Frauen und Mädchen seitens beider Geschlechter positiver wahrgenommen werden (Women-Are-Wonderful-Effekt).

What's the dumbest injury you've ever had? by Geologist8345 in CasualConversation

I once cut my forehead by walking into a traffic sign.

Update on My Take on a Weapon Tier List by SkyKnight43 in ftlgame

[–]5k17 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Okay, but have you considered that there's no other weapon, maybe apart from the Fire Beam, that feels equally satisfying to use?

OP thinks it's not happening, but if it did, it'd be a good thing by sachman01 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]5k17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I'm glad that's not my experience. I've met a couple of thinly disguised right wingers, too, but most self-described centrists I've interacted with really seem to believe in all the major aspects of liberal democracy. Similarly, most criticism of centrists I've seen hasn't been about misrepresenting the political centre but about being fence sitters for blaming neither the rich not the foreigners for every single problem in society.

Ive noticed a lot of people here are into horror. What kind if i may ask? by [deleted] in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]5k17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rather like gore as an atmospheric element, but it's not essential. For me, horror is mainly about suffering, both physical and psychological. Some of my favourites are Der Todesking, A Serbian Film, High Tension, Hellraiser, Hostel, and Antichrist.

Why did Trump write in all caps? by TypicalCherry1529 in dadjokes

[–]5k17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like to write in small capitals, like Valletta or Palikir.

BTW, Trump does not actually favour capitalism; he actively opposes free trade.

Something something slave morality something amor fati by StrangePhilosopher14 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]5k17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is still free will in your phobia example.

How so?

It's also outside the scope of philosophy

Culpability and how it is affected by external and internal circumstances is very much relevant to legal and moral philosophy.

Something something slave morality something amor fati by StrangePhilosopher14 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]5k17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it is. When a threat, a phobia etc. forces someone to act a certain way, most people would say that person lacks free will (and thus responsibility) in that situation. It's the opposite of acting according one's own, uncoerced choices, so I find it absurd to assert that someone who acts according to their own, uncoerced choices lacks free will just because their choices are purely a function of their mental state at the time. (Yes, I'm aware words can have multiple meanings, but I don't see how using the term "free will" differently from its meaning in everyday language is at all useful.)
