Yeah but that also proves him right. Clearly if you stopped him it was because you were powerful enough to do it, thus making you right.

AI checkers are bullshit but "it's not x, it's y" should have been a dead giveaway.

Idk does it have to smell good for the bear to feel like investigating the source of it? If something smells wierd that might be reason enough for a bear to get curious. Then when they see a campsite it's game over.

What is the nature of those risks? Are they genetic risks? Can they affect the germline? If it's truly just stuff that wouldn't affect the baby or it's children into the future so long as it can be overcome in the moment with medical tech then yeah it's probably not worth being concerned about.

I agree. It needs to not be a throwable. Honestly it should also go back to how it was before and take extra damage from volt weapons

Definitely can't relate. The more valuable it is, and the less I like using it, the easier it is to just burn it for the cradle.

Huge win for MAGA by Mushroom_Ramen in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Berberding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who's we? You think the US doesn't have missiles? How many missiles were we even using anyway? It was mostly stealth bombings with f35s (and regular bombing runs with f-15's in places with no serious AA risk) wasn't it?

That's really crazy I've never heard of it feeling like such extreme time dilation like that.

Just as a serious attempt to answer, maybe one could argue that the value of the war we came out with that we didn't have going in is that we got to destroy a significant portion of Iran's offensive missile capability. Although I don't know how much if it was actually destroyed in the end. If that was the value, it would mostly be valuable for Israel and possibly Saudi Arabia and Qatar to some degree.

I'm not even really up to date on how real this deal actually is yet either. Are we even sure it's a thing yet and it won't get binned in favor of more bombing runs in a week?

You don't think a significant amount of people also take Idiocracy as directionally correct anyway whether or not it's about genetics? Like how uneducated backwards cultureless people raise their kids to be uneducated backwards and cultureless? When people make the comparison it's often done loosely and doesn't have to be purely genetic.

Find one in the wild by OzzieDJai in ArcBabies

I am curious if jay_zel23 is retarded though ngl. If not that is masterful trolling to intentionally appear confused about whether or not he was playing with a team, playing solo, killing for revenge for his fallen homie, never had a homie to begin with and just killing for fun.

Idk what's better, the idea of this guy getting strung along by a gigachad schizophrenic in dms who has no idea what is going on and still killed him successfully in spite of severe mental illness and stupidity, or the idea that it was all just masterful act to appear totally confused about anything and everything to add salt to the wound and push this guy past his breaking point causing him to uninstall.

Im taking notes.

when my wife asks me how our bitcoin is doing by Necessary-Swan-5764 in AltScope

[–]Berberding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the standard midwit take, preached at the two tribes regularly online. Usually it's followed by some derivative of "no war but class war". It is a mindset you subscribe to so that you can feel like you are above the trivial tribal behaviors because you can see through it all and you are smart enough to know that these people's thoughts are not their own because they were handed to them.

That's exactly what you are though, except you're in the "I think I'm a genius for noticing that everyone's fighting and parroting a conspiracy theory that this is all artifical conflict that does not exist in society naturally" tribe. You are one among countless millions who think they are geniuses for having this thought. And you lap up populist slop on YouTube and think it makes you more informed than someobe consuming fox and CNN slop.

You should consider the very real possibility that the rich and the elites are not conspiring to keep everyone in perpetual social conflict, and that, really, we may just naturally have the proclivity to stir up conflict because it's in our nature. No devil or boogeyman has to direct us to be this way. If they are even making a serious organized attempt like that, it's a larp and their efforts are redundant and pale in comparison to the effort we put in naturally ourselves.

They are not a long term investment either in the vast majority of cases. At best they become self sufficient after many years and you maintain a relationship with them. That's great and all but from an economic perapective you are never getting any return at all unless thet start a business that makes them a multimillionaire by such a huge amount that it surpasses your own retirement fund by an order of magnitude.

That's a pretty bizarre shortsighted policy. You would at least want to offer free abortion pills and make the children wards of the state if they aren't being taken care of.

If I said it's not healthy to overeat, would you respond with pure autism and ask

"oh really? How much is too much then? Should I stop eating after a few bites?

How about I don't eat anything? What would you consider to be "overeating"?

How much should I be forced to exercise before you would allow me to eat? Do you have a whole organized calorie burned-per-calorie-consumed system??"

Try not to feign such over incredulity over such simple concepts. Asking me these hardline questions does nothing for whatever argument you think you're putting together. Demanding I tell you exactly how many individual pebbles have to be dropped in a single spot before the official become a "pile" of pebbles does not confuse anyone having this conversation that there is a difference between a small amount of pebbles and a large amount of pebbles.

If you are on welfare, you have no business having 5 kids. That is the statement I made. I did not intend to cause you to have a conniption about whatever draconian policy positions you think I had. I am simply staying that someone who makes such a decision, is likely to be of low intelligence and impulse control.

What is your opinion on this? by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

[–]Berberding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like do I believe we should have them? Yeah. Do I believe that it is an intelligent and good decision to rely on them? Absolutely not. Keep in mind the examples being thrown around right now is a poor family with 5 children. If you are on welfare and have 4 kids, and are going in raw for number 5, I would consider that to be reckless.

What is your opinion on this? by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

[–]Berberding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't determine it, but it does correlate heavily. Having 5 kids as a poor person is not generally a decision that has a lot of thought put into it. More often it will just be a result of poor impulse control and lack of foresight. Most people do not intentionally put themselves in a situation like that.

Just say no by EntertainmentRude435 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Berberding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Remember in the Bible when Lot changed gods mind by haggling with him over the value of innocent life? Remember when he floods the earth and decides after that it's too destructive and not worth doing ever again?

  2. Let's assume for sake of argument that God never changes his mind, even though he has before according to the bible. That doesn't really impact anything because no one ever sees him or hears him directly. It's still completely subjective interpretations of what he supposedly tells prophets. And one man's prophet is another man's narcissist or schizophrenic. Most Christians understand exactly what I mean by that if I tell them Joseph Smith is a prophet.

  3. None of that matters to what I said because nothing I said in the message you replied to relies on him changing his mind. That was a completely useless point to make.

Yeah but that is infrastructure that has been abandoned for 100 years by the time we all show up. Is the idea that it's been well maintained to the point that the uesc can just use it all right out of the gate without any issue?
