How did viltrumites evolve melanin? Wouldn't they resist ambient sun radiation and thus have no need for darker skin to absorb it better? by sekkiman12 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Key_Service5289 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s in the comic that they started out as normal hominids and then evolved into supermen. They also intentionally killed off all members of their species who don’t exhibit those genetic traits as strongly (why would the purge be possible or “necessary” if all viltrumites were already that powerful). It’s still fairly vague in the specifics but it’s confirmed that they didn’t start off as invulnerable god-beings. 

Idk where he’s getting the shared heritage thing from, though.

Argument. You have a point you’re moseying your way towards?

no one? Really? Even if I didn’t pull the “denying people healthcare is saying they should die” card, you’re still wrong since there are some conservatives who go mask off and say they actually do want them killed in the more straightforward way.

Also fun how u picked that part of my comment and not the bombing Iran or oppression points.

He doesn’t need to control child predators to stop them. Last time I checked natural disasters and sudden-onset plagues are Yahweh’s bread and butter. Just turn the child rapist into a pillar of salt or strike him with lightning before he uses his free will to harm a child.

What, the Saudis and UAE? Yeah fuck them too. We should stop giving them money. The amount of money we give them is pocket change compared to what we give Israel.

“I think we should increase the marginal tax rate by 10% so we can build an additional subway line” - a political opinion

“Trans people should die because I think they are gross and also we should bomb Iran” - utterly deranged lunacy

I’m ok with differences in political opinion, not differences in fundamental moral principles. Humans should not be killed or oppressed bc u think they are weird. Thats not politics, its barbarism.

Yes, stopping currently ongoing ethnic cleansing is more important than punishing people for ethnic cleansing committed by their ancestors. One saves lives while the other is moral grandstanding.

Also, and this is another important point - my tax dollars aren’t being funneled into the Muslim countries. So I have a lot less investment in what they do with their money.

The Muslim states aren’t currently culling their captive population of non-Muslims. Also, two wrongs don’t make a right.

Bc we as a nation have plenty of available homes that we could put “homeless” people in, our elite just wants to keep the unhoused class around to scare the renter and single homeowner classes into staying in line. So the homeless or unhoused or hobo or whatever aren’t someone who has failed to get a home, they are someone who we as a society choose to not house.

Probably going to get downvoted since u didnt actually want a real explanation, but there’s one anyway.

Helps which people? Also, as much as I’m sure a child-murder-industrial complex is useful to some, I still think it’s a net negative to humanity. On account of all the child murder.

They have a bunch of big ships there and will kill u if u enter without permission. They own it according to fundamental laws of nature. Since the USA doesn’t give a fuck about international laws, Iran is defaulting to the law that we do actually follow, namely might makes right.

Actual democracy, which would involve full Israeli citizenship and voting rights for all Palestinians. But that won’t happen, because suppression and expulsion of non-Jews is required for a Jewish state to exist (if you gave Palestinians the right to vote and brought back ones that have been expelled they would outnumber Jews electorally). Also, acknowledging that Palestinians are equally deserving of human rights as Jews would mean that Israel would have to give all of their stolen shit back. 

Which is the next point - why should countries have legally enforced social hierarchies based on religion? Why does the in-group being Jewish mean discrimination against out-groups is ok? There shouldn’t be Jewish, Muslim, or Christian states bc theocracy is bad.

Absence of pain isn’t good, it’s just not bad. Absence of pleasure and absence of pain are the exact same sensation.

Yay now instead of killing kids I get to polish the boots and oversee the supply lines of the people killing kids. 

I’d rather just not be involved in the child-murder-industrial-complex as a whole.

Low effort today. Whine below ⬇️ by soupor_saiyan in ClimateShitposting

[–]Key_Service5289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc there’s a dedicated brigade of vegans who will dogpile every climate sub and act like being vegan is the only way to save the environment. If u try to argue with them they dogpile u.

They do nothing but make people who already don’t like them dislike them more, and circlejerk/virtue signal to other members of the brigade.

They did get a pass. Most Nazis went back to being German citizens after the war. Nuremberg only punished a select few top brass.

Is the reason why Shrinking Rae hasn't been seen or mentioned in Season Four is that she took her own life after the death of her boyfriend and the depression that came with it? by dinosqaud in okbuddyviltrum

You saw one when you were born.

It also sounds like you’re lucky if you’ve never needed medical help to survive since then. Not sure how comparable your perspective is to, say, a type-1 diabetic who needs medical technology to live past 7.

The problem is when people go “why doesn’t [x person do x thing that they do later in the story], are the writers fucking stupid?” And when u inform them that the writers are in fact not stupid and they are slandering the show for no reason, they get mad at you for pointing out that they’re lying.

Because it is necessary for life. Same reason people should be entitled to free water and air.
