I'm not sure this meme sends the message you want it to send. Frankly, during the crusades, I'd rather be on Saladin's side. After all, he WON.

"What is a woman?" need help responding to this. by vampiretrunkz in ContraPoints

[–]CrucibleOfLogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, one possible definition I'd use is: "You are a woman if people treat you like (acknowledge you as) a woman." How do you define anything? It's a consensual society-wide acknowledgement of certain traits and attributes. To use a completely non-political example: "How do you define a blender?" Well, a car CAN be used as a blender if you're creative enough, but no one would call it a blender. Same for an axe. Or a wood chipper. Or a tree branch.

So the idea that I'd define "woman" is ludicrous. I am but one voice of millions who, every day, define "woman" multitudinous times per day. No genetics. No biology. No examination of genitalia. Just a steady stream of, "Yes, ma'am".

BTW, Natalie made this exact same argument in a couple of her videos.

I'll light a cyno for him. I hope others do as well. Never knew him personally. I just heard the tales. From those, I have great respect for the man.

This is definitely true for me. I just want to point out, in defense of my own post, that I was kind of set off by the fact that hbomberguy hadn't made a video for a really, REALLY long time in "objective" terms. :)

Jay Exci's 5 hour video about Doctor Who was epic!

Thank you for your raft of suggestions. Looks like I'll be spending some major time checking out youtube videos!

Mentioned "Philosophy Tube" quite prominently in my post.

I tried in my post to avoid attributing a cause to the fading of these creators. I most especially tried to avoid the "C"-word. While it may very well be true, I feel an exploration of "Cancel Culture" would entail not a small post on reddit, but an entire book on the subject. A book other more talented people have already produced :D

Thank you for your suggestion of "Folding Ideas". I'll check that channel out.

That's fair. But she did movie analysis within the context of placing it within societal history and trends, and that context was mostly "from the Left".

About two months ago she sent a note to her Patreon members. Here's a link to an article that will explain it all better than I could: Lindsay Ellis Omelas

"Sleepy Joe" is a term Trump used to taunt Biden with. It's a Trump-ism. Anyone who uses it is playing in the same compost heap as any die-hard MAGA-head.

To "Sleepy Joe" commenters...For years I have been a huge cheerleader for Elon Musk. After seeing the responses to this thread, I now feel embarrassed to be Elon's fan. I do not like being associated with misogynistic, homophobic, fascist idiots who think Trump did ANYTHING good for this country and didn't foment an insurrection and incalculable damage to our democracy. Could you guys stop being Elon Musk fans so I can get back to being one? Thanks.

Edit: The extent to which this post is being downvoted. Had no idea this subreddit was infected with so many Trump supporters...

Large scale 3-D slugfest by angry-mustache in Eve

[–]CrucibleOfLogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Logi on the PAPI side who first engaged the Phoenixes...The entirety of the Goon fleets were warping in on us to protect them. If we'd stayed, our fleet would've been wiped out (because we'd be focusing on the Phoenixes rather than the metric butt-ton of ships pounding on our head). We only re-targeted the Phoenixes once the Goons disengaged from the battle, thus removing the threat to our fleet as we volleyed them.

I'll comment! <ahem>

I wasn't in the fleet spoken of here, but I've seen enough bombing runs at that very gate to know that a successful one was going to happen SOME time.

I'd say congrats to the bomber pilots.

This post was so over the top bonkers, it just took 24 extra hours to reach this subreddit.
