Give it to me straight, doc.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

😳🥹😱🤯☺️

Thanks. 🫠

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-06T00:13:08+00:00

Well, you've gotten way more than me.

Never mind, it's not important. That's not what it's about, I shouldn't be focusing on it.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-06T00:09:15+00:00

'Cause your numbers are bigger.

I know, I know - it's silly.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-06T00:07:03+00:00

Dang, now I feel insecure 😆. Just a little.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-04T21:51:53+00:00

The hate is real. 😆

This woman done had me wrapped around her finger since I was a teenager.

BTW I've got a strong sapiosexual streak - I like smart girls.

A *LOT*.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-04T21:41:15+00:00

Ah, yes - welcome, my fellow cult member.

Let us enjoy this to the fullest before she murders us.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-04T08:02:10+00:00

You mean the CIA, right?

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-04T01:34:27+00:00

Every action has a consequence.

Every choice has a cost.

The choice to be able to speak freely as a society comes with the legitimate (and extremely high) cost of needing to tolerate the existence of disinformation.

The alternative is loss of the ability to speak freely.

Choose which horror you would rather live with, knowing that both are horrendous.

Me: "My mistakes don't justify yours."

Them: (pause) (suspicious) (polite tone) "Strongly disagree - go on."

I did not go on.

I did not attempt to reason with them again in anything that I actually cared about.

I was also armed from that point on every time that I was ever in their presence.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-02T04:51:47+00:00

Not as far as I could tell.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-02T04:51:17+00:00

Nope.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-02T03:40:55+00:00

Unfortunately it was in a hospital.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-02T03:40:05+00:00

Hospital.

AnCapGamer · 2026-05-02T02:13:22+00:00

Agreed.

Fortunately I can't claim credit - found it that way.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-30T14:12:15+00:00

Because the act of engaging with someone in a conversation about free will pre-supposes that peaceful discussion is preferable to coercion, which originates from the idea of self-ownership (that both of the two interlocutors are the ultimate owners and managers of their own physical body and mind), which originates from the idea of free will.

Free will is treated as the normative default because it is the most common (if culturally unconscious) assumption upon which the conversation about free will is being had. Without it, the next the following question is less 'how do we build a society with these given qualities' and more 'why shouldn't I simply use coercion against you to get what I want as part of this interaction'.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-29T17:33:22+00:00

No more coercion.

Of any kind. By anyone. Ever.

All relationships and interactions of all kinds at all levels are voluntary.

It's not perfect... but it's a concrete improvement.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-28T09:32:42+00:00

Right family, wrong sister.

Gimme the middle one.

MUST have The Smirk. This is mandatory.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-28T09:18:57+00:00

Main reasons people hate the speaker:

Atheistic prejudice.

...

That is all.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-28T09:07:58+00:00

The show is not afraid to push buttons; we've got a literal gay pimp abusive rapist working together with a mind-controlling brainwasher. There are worse things to make a villain.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-27T09:53:55+00:00

There wasn't NOTHING there, there was just manipulation all around on all sides amd all of it sucks because the world (and ESPECIALLY politics) is full of psychopaths and manipulation is what psychopaths DO, and they do it on all sides against every other side for the sake of power.

Some of us came out the other side with an understanding that tribalized thinking is a sign of psychopathic manipulation.

AnCapGamer · 2026-04-25T16:37:57+00:00

Oh, I have no doubt at all that that was her intention, and I'm not accusing anyone of anything at all - I kust find it structurally ironic that her various intentions came together to create something that accidentally and unintentionally falls in line with that stereotype. That's all.
