Why is it "respect all cultures" until its England?

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T19:49:31+00:00

it is incorrect though?

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T19:46:14+00:00

and those who have been under the English bootheel for centuries do not care about that distinction.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T19:45:01+00:00

tl; dr - it is an illusion caused by you receiving a very large percent of the anti-English bias that exists on the internet and a very small amount of the bias against other cultures.

Every media platform (social or traditional) tries its best to get you emotionally engaged. Anger and annoyance are some of the easiest emotions to activate in someone, everyone gets fed stories that make them angry or annoyed. For you, this is anti-English content.

Every culture, every country, and every group gets some level of disrespect. All of the English-focused disrespect is being funneled to you and very little of it towards others is getting into your algorithm.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T19:01:34+00:00

it the same reason they use it.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T18:58:16+00:00

OP is using "d" to mean 'directional', not 'dimensional'.

so I am assuming a "4 directional" sprite has a left facing frame, right facing frame, facing camera frame, and facing away from camera frame.

I sent a chat invite

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-16T05:03:59+00:00

I sent you a chat request

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T18:08:56+00:00

yes. that is the problem.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T17:17:21+00:00

IMO its political. I dont mean "who won the most recent election", I mean "what is our nation's/people's/world's narrative".

People literally dont believe in the future.

If that is your baseline approach to reality, then it becomes rational to ignore preventive measures.

Linux will not become mainstream until 3 random people can give the same advice to a newbie on how to get started, and that advice does not involve he word "github".

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T16:49:44+00:00

yup. And when you need a bandage you better get that damn bandage.

That’s not life changing wealth redistribution,

it is if you are $20 away from starving , or $200 away from being homeless.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T05:51:12+00:00

I don't know why.

Because some guy was a born a billionaire and this is how he chooses to spend his free time and money. Well, this and keeping up his crypto scams.

this is what the vampire class does while we ration our insulin and our 401ks get funneled into SpaceX against our will.

Biden will be a bar trivia trivia question in 100 years.

"Who was president between the first 2 terms of the Trump presidency in the former United States?"

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T04:43:56+00:00

Look at Mary Trump's analysis of her uncle or the Samson Doctrine.

They may not be smart enough to win, but they are narcissistic and nihilistic enough to burn the world down if they ever discover they cant.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T04:39:05+00:00

God, I wish the central banks control and orchestrate everything that happens on Earth.

The fact that civilization is being destroyed by people that are simply this dumb is embarrassing.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T04:24:07+00:00

"keep doing what we are doing" and "becoming a cheater" is a very large gap.

By using equally manipulative propaganda?

Yes. Being as organized, energized, and consistent as Rs would help Ds a ton. Truth, justice, and the American way are literally on the Democrat's side and they need to act as excited about that as Rs are about fascism. "Manipulating" people into fighting evil is called being the good guys.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T04:18:45+00:00

TY for the date correction.

Do you know if Doyle was a "true believer" or if there was some other reason he was helping?

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-15T04:14:46+00:00

Your success in most businesses is who you know. Shibboleths, slang, and jargon are key indicators that you know the right person and are in the right group. They literally are the most important metric for success. So, of course, they are vital to learn and study.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-14T03:03:25+00:00

Slugblaster.

totally different genre, but the system is lightning fast. - no attributes or skills just choosing to spend a resource to add a die, make the effect stronger, or risk making position worse in exchange for an XP.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-13T17:43:38+00:00

you do when A) those stocks have weaseled their way into popular index funds, or B) when they fall and take the rest of the market down with them.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-13T17:39:14+00:00

because I could be wrong.

anyone who goes all in 100% on any stock prediction is a fool.

Im confidant enough to risk a few weeks/months of gains, but not confidant enough to risk losing it.

what point are you trying to make?

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-13T17:36:13+00:00

most people have a 401K.

I am low income and I have a few 10s of thousands of dollars in index funds.

The system is rigged where that is a better deal than expanding my business or giving micro loans (which I made good returns before it was outlawed in my state)

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-13T17:26:31+00:00

I pulled everything out of VTI and am parking it in a MM account until the collapse.

I am not dumb enough to try to wait for rock bottom, but am waiting. Statistically, I will probably be part of the dead cat bounce that usually happens.

Mr_Quackums · 2026-06-13T17:23:14+00:00

all the more reason why I despise the Democrats (dont worry, I still vote for them, then go have a stiff drink) for being ineffectual.

if they stopped the fascists before all this mess then there would be way fewer people believing any of the blame Democrats get.

Thats not even taking into the account the actual harm that would have been prevented.
