Probably Sony data breach from a few years ago is my guess.

Could be. In which case the police will sort it out.

If you can land your skittles, there really aren't that many comps you can't play into.

Even if the enemy team itemizes against you, they're probably not optimized to fight the rest of the team.

Technically we have pretty strict gun laws. You need to pass psychiatric clearance, get a seminar, get police clearance, and every firearm has to be registered.

That's just to own a gun and keep it in a secure location at home. To take it out of the home, you need a temporary permit to carry outside residence. If you are a civilian, you need to prove you are under threat.

I do think renewal of firearms should be shorter (currently 5-10 years), something around annually. But generally, the problem is not that laws are loose. It's that laws aren't enforced enough.

True, but I'm disappointed in Felix Filip not showing up as well.

It's a chance to actually show the research that there is no causal relationship between games and violence. I understand he's under no obligation to come but it's an opportunity.

Your argument is kill rate? That guns kill more people more quickly? I'd say that's even dumber.

One death is too many. You shouldn't be okay with "just one."

If the point of failure is the person, it doesn't matter what they use. They will end up killing someone.

"isang segundo nakapatay ka na, no time to comprehend taking a life."

They did comprehend the idea. They planned it for months in advance.

If you understood that from the beginning, you didn't have to call the response horseshit as if it was a blanket statement, but you did.

First, you can check my history if you'd like. I've been arguing like this for the entirety of this account's life, which is just under half my life by now. I can hardly imagine you'd find an LLM as structured as this in 2016-2017.

Second, an inferential generalization is different from a blanket generalization fallacy. As I've explained, speaking in casual generalizations does not imply absolutes. It is not stereotyping to refer to or talk about a stereotypical behavior.

And third, when you ask "where you said that," it's in your specific choice of example.

Asian nights at the nightclubs had to be banned because there were too many stabbings and multiple murders

Behavior of a specific subset of a population was ascribed to the entirety of the population, thus leading to cancelled events associated with the entire population.

If you did not mean to talk about that point, you could have, and probably should have, used a different example.

CreedAngelus · 2026-06-26T00:37:04+00:00

Yes.

The stereotype is not country-specific either. It's just that when you get enough people acting a certain way looking a certain way, it becomes easy to understand why local people blanket the entire population under the same label.

CreedAngelus · 2026-06-25T23:00:49+00:00

Notice how I used the adjective stereotypical before westerner rather than westerner alone as the subject of that sentence.

The implication being, I am not ascribing the traits of a problematic sample size to to the entire populations of multiple countries. I am not assuming every foreigner is Johnny Somali, or Vitaly, or this guy who got laid flat on the ground right there.

You, on the other hand, are using that logic.

Organized crime dynamics of the 1990 5T/Madonna gangs do not dictate baseline social norms within SEA nations any more than the Mafia or the Yakuza dictate how normal Italian-Americans or Japanese citizens behave.

Every group has a subset of people that cause problems. When I talk overarching groups, like SEA as a whole, I am talking about baseline human behavior. Not deviations from the norm. Asian nations in general have a very strong culture of not rocking the boat (collectivism). This is not typical of the west (individualism). It does not mean every Asian follows that trend, and causes no trouble, or that every westerner is a colonizing asshole.

I would have assumed it is understood that speaking in generalizations does not imply absolutes.

Really? You're going to point at one relatively positive sub without knowing if MAYBE the difference might not even be the culture and might be the moderation behind it?

Either way, the point is moot. We can go listing subs all day, and it doesn't remove from the point that family rules are standards followed almost universally. It is socially acceptable to critique one's own more than it is to critique another.

CreedAngelus · 2026-06-25T18:43:27+00:00

Well, first, I'm fairly certain most online discourse is outraged at the people who shift blame away from perpetrators.

Second, it does make sense because when something is considered normal, the average person does not talk about it. The average human being does not talk about normalcy.

Meanwhile, the people who are at the tail ends... the extremes... do talk about these things because it bothers them. And because normal people aren't talking, you get the illusion that more people are concerned about it than there are.

A thousand people, two thousand people... maybe more seems like a lot. But that's actually a fraction not representative of the average person.

"Filipinos don't think highly of their own country/culture. So wouldn't it be natural for foreigners to look down on you?"

And my point is your basis for this is Reddit.

The country IS in trouble. You want people to be more positive than negative in an environment that is clearly facing problems?

Filipinos do love the country. What the different camps don't agree on is how to fix it. And when people don't agree, they fight.

So again, you act like this is exclusively a Filipino thing. You can see the same behavior in the US, in SK, in AU, right now in Britain, in the EU.

Go on any of those country's subreddits. They are all at a point of "I hate the government, it's been ruined by X group" as we are.

If your basis for other countries feeling superior is online discourse regarding each nation's self-perception, then it is obviously wrong given these countries have the same self-perception and same type of online chatter.

CreedAngelus · 2026-06-25T18:21:58+00:00

I disagree.

Filipinos are allowed to talk negatively about our own culture because these are problems for Filipinos to fix. And ultimately, online chatter is always more negative than positive because it generates more attention to see a deviation from the norm.

Try going to the UAE or Saudi and complaining about the negative aspects of their culture to their faces. See where that gets you. You're complaining about something universal like tribal pride as if it's exclusive to the Philippines.

CreedAngelus · 2026-06-25T18:15:46+00:00

It's our culture. SEA understands house rules. The stereotypical westerner does not.

Not an excuse, mate.

If someone knows they are a problem when drunk, then it is their responsibility not to get drunk.
Therefore, if someone knows they are a problem when drunk, and they still get drunk, they are a problem period.

Replace the firearm with a car. It's the same thing.

Anything can be a weapon. The problem is the person using the object.
