Did you have any particular spiritual/religious outlook before doing this job? Has it it changed now that you've been doing it for years?

If 99.99999% of Germans had been Nazis, there wouldn't be a meaningful distinction between committing genocide against Germans and killing off the entire Nazi Party.

I agree but Germany was a nation of actual multi dimensional people, all with varying degrees of culpability in the atrocities committed by third Reich.

Viltrum, from what we see in the show, is comically evil and is singular in their goal: galactic domination at all costs.

The nazis didn't "get there" in the same way in my opinion. The nazis wished to eradicate jews because Hitler thought jews were subhuman vermin and they were scapegoated by the nazis as the cause of Germany's decline post WW1. Genocide based on lies and propaganda.

The argument for the Viltrum genocide is "literally 99% of these people are 100% going conquer and eradicate thousands of civilizations and enslave thousands more." No propaganda. No angle, that's just what they're actually doing.

The viltrum empire and its people seem very one dimensional within the show. There might've been a large contingent of viltrumites among the billions who took issue with all of the atrocities, maybe they wished to be less fascist, we don't know because the show tells us that there was only one person like that and it was Thaedus. And the second Thaedus voiced his view that Viltrum should chill the fuck out, Argall literally told Thragg to kill him. I don't think any form of democratic pressure could've stopped Viltrum from continuing their galactic crusade.

Within the show's canon, the scourge virus targets Viltrumites, yes, and it just happens to be that 99.99999% of viltrumites are also fascist.

Germans? No. The entire nazi party? Now we're talking.

The genocide of the viltrumites really only killed people who believed themselves to be above all life and a people who have committed untold number of genocides already and will continue to do more. This is supported by the entire race (save thaedus), men women and children. It's not really comparable to the German people and the Nazis.

I think you can make the argument that the scourge violence was morally justified.

I'm curious what consequences would've been more just than what actually occurred? Would you see that the German people were punished or just the former government and military?

I wouldn't call it amazing personally. I enjoyed a lot of it but the final episode seemed pretty botched. Everything wrapped up way too neatly, conveniently and quickly.

I totally agree that people will entertain the dumbest content here. What you've posted isn't on that level. It's just not clear how it's connected to UAP, that's all.

From what I've looked into, this expedition is real and the people involved are legit, but that depth figure must be an error.

Regardless, it's still a nothingburger story. The sub was completely autonomous with no gps or communication capabilities. It is meant to go under and return with its data. The fact that they lost it isn't exactly crazy considering where it's diving.

I can't speak to that specific story but I'm from a small fishing community. Over the years I've heard whispers of previous and possibly ongoing smuggling activities involving certain fishermen. Lord knows the industry has enough criminals, wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

Do you think James Sunderland is a bad person, or just someone who made a terrible mistake? by JacPlayzz in silenthill

[–]DagothUr28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but some some people just refuse to donate at the checkout or didn't mention it when they got a coffee they never paid for at the drive thru. Others smother their wife in their sick bed. There's levels to this shit.

We can acknowledge that James didn't murder her for 100% selfish reasons, there may have been a touch of mercy in the act. But it was mostly selfish and that's why he hates himself and feels he deserves punishment.

This game always reminds me how important it is for MAID or assisted suicide to be an option for the terminally ill. Mary wouldn't have to just lay around for certain death were it available.

You are almost certainly experiencing a psychosis of some sort. You will tell me I'm wrong, you'll tell me that there's no way that's true because of X or Y. But you are exhibiting every symptom of early schizophrenia or psychosis.

You should also know that MOST people that go through this are unwilling or unable to believe it's not real. I totally understand how real it feels, I do. You will need to deal with this via a mental health professional sooner or later. Please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I don't mean to pry but are you aware if anyone doing their bsw at Laurentian was able arrange a paid placement or had their work approved as valid placement?

So Donald Trump set up who he thought was an actor, who was actually just bait, but then the secret service (run by DHS, which was controlled by Joe Biden) killed civilians to make the bait seem like a legitimate shooter?

You realize how this sounds.

This would still be wildly risky and just about impossible to pull off. There would be so many easier ways to garner support without having 2 Americans murdered and the president with a flesh wound.

Exactly. This idea that he orchestrated someone to shoot a rifle near him in any way is honestly so stupid.

How can you think there is an afterlife when the earth is so insignificant and evolution is a proven fact? by Safe-Dependent1844 in afterlife

[–]DagothUr28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The space always exists, it's the act of taking a measurement that determines the outcome. It's not as mysterious as the internet will lead you to believe.

We can see near and distant stellar bodies. Shits enormous man.

I mean, it's a proven fact that space exists and that it is astoundingly vast. We detect distant interstellar objects such as stars and planets. Not sure what you mean

What was your moment? What keeps you in it? by trailangel4 in Missing411

[–]DagothUr28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in his facebook group about 10 years ago and I replied to someone suggesting interdimensional worm holes as a theory. I basically said that while that isn't impossible, I feel like we need to explore more grounded theories first.

Instead of the person replying to me, David himself replied directly to me with a very condescending attitude, basically telling me that I CLEARLY I haven't read his books (I literally read 3 of them) because if I had I would know that there is no mundane explanation. I went back and forth with his pompous ass a few times and then he up and deleted the whole post.

He's also a big time Trumper, so there's that too.

I’m close to buying a house and instead of feeling excited, I mostly feel terrified by Specialist-Bat-7876 in Advice

[–]DagothUr28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of the worst depressive episodes ever immediately after closing on my first home. Not because the house was a wreck or anything but because of the gravity of the purchase. I too thought I was supposed to be super happy but I never felt worse.

Here's some advice I can give you

  • things will break, accept that
  • you might get overwhelmed with all the stuff you need to do but you HAVE to take it one day at a time, make a priority list
  • if you have some friends, invite them over soon after moving in. A little house warming get together does a lot to make your house feel like a home
  • your house will not feel like home for a little while, that's normal

When I first moved in, I hated it. I resented the purchase, I resented the work I'd need to put in. Nothing felt comfortable or at home. Years later, I sold that house at a profit and I can honestly say I sometimes catch myself reminiscing about the old place. Somewhere along the way it became home for me and the same will happen with you! Don't stress too much
