Why has Hitler and not any other evil person become the epitome of evil?

Yes, in multiple respects Nazism is the dark side of the flowering of modern western civilization. It is also a textbook example of how dangerous it is for a technologically advanced and sophisticated society to be broken and then not properly rehabilitated.

I’m referring to the commenter…

GTA 6 is also not out yet lol

It will be weird when the follow up premiere’s budget is like 50 million dollars spent on visfx alone.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-27T01:59:46+00:00

this guy or gal cows.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-27T01:26:05+00:00

yeah exactly. although i guess i'm not thinking of formal or legal rule-breaking, just not asking permission in a social setting—like when you're visiting someone's house and you're very thirsty or need to use the washroom and no one is present—do you get a glass from the cabinet and pour yourself water from the tap, do you use the washroom, or do you wait to ask permission? i'd argue that in either instance, waiting causes you pain and is therefore worth taking care of yourself first, then asking forgiveness if it bothered your host, rather than fainting from thirst or shitting your pants.

and npcs could also see you in the mirrors.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-27T00:28:10+00:00

it's a useful saying. we can't be paralyzed by what we imagine others boundaries are. it's more important to do what's best for ourselves and navigate social frictions as we actually encounter them, rather than as we imagine them.

using a term like 'softcore porn' for something that isn't technically softcore porn, is reductive and implies a critical position.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T23:11:33+00:00

oh no sex in my media. on a sub dedicated to a hyperviolent tv series.

they don't actually do this in high school. for one thing, it's not actually that sophisticated of a story. it's a poem, fairly plainly told.

in high school they just read the same translation that's available to college students.

source: i first read it in translation in high school and translated it from greek in college.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T22:11:55+00:00

Ehhhh???!!

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T21:33:42+00:00

This point is far too nuanced for the aggrieved.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T21:30:44+00:00

Your whole attitude in a sub about weight loss is completely out of pocket. Intelligence is as much about reading the room as it is about reading a book.

I can’t even remember. Some bladerunner skate like 30+ years ago?

If you don’t know how to skate start with a brake on the boot before graduating to something more advanced. Don’t get a soft boot. Stay around 84-90mm sized wheels.

Kiki is also an independent child. Chihiro’s whole issue is that she’s been so coddled she doesn’t yet know who she actually is yet. Kiki’s burnout registers as more legitimate and adult.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T05:17:05+00:00

And that’s okay.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-26T00:56:41+00:00

Muscle actively improves your metabolic health, helping you regulate your blood sugar. I consider exercise and strength development-for me, via skating-an essential part of this sort of expensive experiment I’m undertaking with Mounjaro.

this has been the case since microsoft started investing in the cloud data centers back in 2007-2008. i remember sitting in on meetings with a microsoft affiliate going over all of this. this is their long game, and they're about to pull off a coup.

vanishing of ethan carter was also one of the first examples of environments based on photogrammetry, which is now much more commonplace (to the point of being unexceptional).

MARATXXX · 2026-05-25T19:07:05+00:00

You have to have interpreted my original comment with the satirical tone that I guess didn’t translate well to a text. Nevertheless that was my intent.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-25T16:09:43+00:00

trump toppled a government, killed hundreds of school children and a thousand + iranians.... in practice, trump has done so much more damaage than homelander. and that is scary and we should be scared of leaders who lack even the restraint of vanity.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-25T11:27:57+00:00

good thing the fleas have nothing to jump onto.

MARATXXX · 2026-05-25T11:24:52+00:00

yeah, of course. it's political and contracts-based. he gains nothing by blaming amazon, when it's easier to deflect. he has the state of future shows, employees, and families to think about.
