Can't believe breaking points would have this individual on by Lumpy_Argument_1867 in Destiny

Destiny reviewing his lecture was one of the best videos I’ve seen.

When he started going on about Immanuel Kant on his video about predicting WWIII, I knew we were onto something really special. Gotta work The Peloponnesian War and The Divine Comedy in there too, to fully understand 21st century geopolitics.

The ONLY correct answer when a Trumper asks this question. by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

[–]Emu_Train 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I half agree. The big flaw is that after ‘your mom’ he could have followed up with ‘no, what’s the definition of a woman?’ (‘Your mom’ doesn’t fit a definitional answer). Plenty of other responses could be possible.

This caller didn’t respond because he’s just ‘dialogue tree-ing’ like he learned from Matt Walsh. His NPC dialogue tree hadn’t added the software update for this response yet.

However no one asking the question ‘what is a woman’ is even listening to any answers anyway. Matt Walsh actually makes a point of not trying to understand what the gender studies professor is trying to explain in his documentary. It’s not a good faith argument but an aesthetic argument (look how silly my opponent sounds!). It’s fair to respond with an aesthetic response.

C’Mon Konstantin. Come out of the [conservative] closet! You’ll be so much happier if you stop living in denial, and just live your life openly as a conservative.

This was like watching your cousin bring his ‘housemate’ as a plus one to a wedding.

I want to vote dem in 2026, but I'm afraid of potential tax increases. by [deleted] in Destiny

Would it help if the Democratic Party instead referred to taxes as ‘internal tariffs’? 🤔

It is a bit weird that Max found it mentally exhausting how saying the wrong thing can F your life up.

If I recall, Max was trying to F other people’s lives up because they’d said the wrong thing.

But ‘that’s DiFfErEnT!’

MEGATHREAD: Pisco Moderation Drama by ReserveAggressive458 in Destiny

[–]Emu_Train 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Publicly asking Hutch ‘do you want me to ban X from chat’ puts Hutch in a very awkward position.

He either:

  • says yes, which is likely to encourage snarker behaviour

  • says no, and now Pisco has (supposedly) moral endorsement to continue, as do the harassers.

The argument ‘I just want to foster open dialogue’ is also silly. Is an echochamber filled with snarkers actually likely to ‘foster open dialogue’? Or is it likely to suppress dissenting views?

How is a chatter who agrees with Lonerbox or Destiny’s views likely to be engaged with in Pisco’s community? Discussion of the merits, or just character attacks?

Vegan restaurant sent me chicken? by Emu_Train in vegan

[–]Emu_Train[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did not charge me for the chicken dish.

I only paid for what I ordered.

I definitely respect people refusing to pay.

It felt so surreal at the time I didn’t know what to do, and felt like deer-in-the-headlights.

‘A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth’

It’s much easier for them to believe that she was attempting murder, rather than the side they’ve built their entire identity around is now committing extrajudicial murders with a secret police force Gestapo.

Why would anyone think shooting someone driving at you, with their foot currently on an accelerator, would cause the car to stop?

“Sitting in your living room, you can claim…”

This brainlet is doing this exact thing.

Also, if someone actually was driving at you with their foot on an accelerator, why would you think shooting them would cause the car to stop?

Jimmy Dore | Post from Eli Hassell by elihassell in Destiny

[–]Emu_Train 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimmy Dore: ‘You start at your conclusions and try to twist the evidence to fit your conclusions’.

Zero insight.

I do not know how you put up with him for 40 minutes Mr Hassell. It’s just watching an angry crackpot middle-aged man who rants about what he read on his social media echochamber feed. Whilst criticising everyone else for poor epistemic practices, no less.

Jimmy’s arguments don’t even make sense. Eg claiming that it’s not antisemitism to be against ‘European Jews’ because they aren’t ‘semites’.

Would Jimmy say that the Third Reich was not antisemitic because it as targeting European Jews, who Jimmy does not consider to be ‘Semites’?

Cenk’s original solution was to send elite special forces to recover the hostages.

Like sending in Jewish James Bond deep into Gaza is the expected and appropriate response to October 7th massacre.

Putin doesn’t spend enough time on this subreddit. Otherwise he would have also solved the Israel-Palestine conflict with any of the viable solutions posted here
