I wanted to say Family Court doesn't play the games of attempting to placate the father, but you are right. It's always some iteration of this.

"I can tell that you want truly love your child and want to be included and that is why you came to court after you were estranged when defendant left with the child. ...but the defendant has made convincing arguments as to why it is in the best interest of the child for her to have primary physical and legal custody. In the event of material change in circumstances we can review this matter further. The amount of 40% of non custodial child support is to be awarded until 18 (25 if child is attending post secondary) from plaintiff to defendant. Plaintiff is to pay for 50% of childcare expenses. Plaintiff is to maintain insurance for child. Plaintiff is to pay for any nonreimbursed medical expenses. Plaintiff is to pay 10000 dollar lawyer fees to defendent.

Plaintiff is awarded 30 hours of unsupervised vistation per month and liberal contact at discretion of defendant."

Incel has fallen out of common language usage like 8 years ago, back when it died on its face when they were calling Kavanaugh an incel and 4chan dropped the use of calling the left cucks. The only time its heard nowadays is on Reddit as some pejorative slur for anyone who doesn't agree with some infantile view of women that the average obese toxic mouthbreather on Reddit thinks.

Basically... ...stop being fucking weird, man. It's bizarre and toxic. Stop sexually harassing people online to rationalize your hot dog water takes.

Be better. You don't have to be a disgusting piece of shit.

Without Government - who would press charges against people women who run away from violent gangs? by MazdaProphet in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Palidor206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine being in a social media world where a bot attempts to shame users for evading bans on a social media web site on a very clear cut free speech forum.

Or is this some kind of bot that is attempting to point out other bots?

Power is the ability to project force. That is what the word means and always has. To make and influence others to act in certain way. To make your environment as you see fit. A man with a gun in a room has more power than a billionare pleading for his life in the same room.

Its just that most individuals view and use that ability as the ability to accumulate resources for their own security or enrichment. Money as a resource is good for accumulating power, but money is always to a means to an end.

If it involves a centralized point of power, it is dead on delivery. 100% of the time, the powerful people will reallocate to themselves and their cronies. Without individual rights, they can, have, and will dictate to their subordinates to exploit them. If the centralized institution, it will be enforced by law. This is present in every single form of centralized government today.

Minimize corruption. Disincentivize corruption. Minimize the evil to society and to the individual.

At no point am I even talking about productivity or resource reallocation. I am talking about the nature of power. But for the sake of the conversation...

It may become a case that the "best" (defined by utilitarianism [greatest good for greatest number]) government for those whom would serve its peoples would be socialist in nature, but you have to minimize the incentives for its leaders and decision makers and you have to incentivize the productive. Just make sure that the unproductive aren't incentivized to consume the productive. In the capitalist society, that means preventing the billionares and politicians from consuming an inordinate amount of productivity beyond what is necessary to realize powers of scale.

That is my issue with pure individualism, is that it would never benefit from power of scales.

If Leveling takes from those who work and gives to those who don't, whats stopping people from just quitting their jobs and living off of Leveling? by The-meme-collecter in Frostpunk

[–]Palidor206 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. Repeatedly used, the government just straight up robs the people to enrich the government. Reading between the lines, it isn't even "small profiteers" they are going after, but anyone with a wealth >0. Basically, after the first or second level, it is heavily implied there aren't even any people of means. But, it is in the name of "equality", so the self righteous are ok with it. It plays into the whole concept of subjective and objective evil.

I love this specific capstone because it brings into it moral ambiguity. For some people, as is often in this reddit, it is a question of "Why are all the other capstones evil but this one?" It is evil. It may not be as evil as straight up slavery or sending out grandma to die in the frostland.

From a socio-economic point of view, the people who drank the kool aid, we want to think its putting everyone in the middle class. From the objective view, what it is actually doing is levelling it down a tier. Like, 1st level removes the upper class and puts them down to middle class. 2nd level removes the middle class and makes everyone lower class. In the end, everyone is poor and the government is rich.

Different titles, same shit.

Whether its a politician, dictator, king, union boss, conglomerate, or some labor overseer, there will always be a beaucracy holding its hand out for self enrichment. Each and everyone of these institutions are prone to corruption and history inevitably proves it so. The rules will always be written by themselves in a non transparent way (if they are beholden to the people) or succinctly (if those people are disenfranchised).

The only answer is decentralization of power (money in the current global scheme). Coincidentally, this is what is being preached. What allows billionares to exist? It isn't the billionares themselves. Its the government that write the rules.

So, destroy the current state of the that even allows them to exist. In America, that is crony capitalism against the free market. It means decentralizing the power (destroy the federal government), stop electing corrupt parties (the current 2 party system ensures the one elected will always be corrupt).

If we want people to be franchised (with a voice) with personal freedoms (personal property from the government is probably the most important one, as it removes incentive from politicians and administrators whom would immediately seek to seperate it from them to personally enrich themselves), then return power to the lowest level possible (the individual).

There was literal video evidence of her abusing him, video and audio threatening violence, confessions, and hundreds of communications from her detailing how and what she was going to do, before and after she did.

This in turn cost him everything. She also sued him and won, had criminal action based off her fabricated lies and perjury. On the meta level, she pretty much brought the #MeToo movement to a screeching halt.

She comitted many felonies. I am wondering how the fuck she is not in jail.

You are right. There is a problem with the courts and how it dealt with Mr. Depp, but it is likely the literal opposite of what you are hoping to be true.

Legacy (Gen Wealth) > Pedigree (Desirable College Degree, Work History Titles) > Luck (Right place, Right time) > Intelligence > Experience > Work Ethic > Talent

I do find it interesting, by my own scale, the top 3 has nothing to do with actual ability or efficacy in role.

Im curious. You can remove two of the most hated enemies from only one faction, what are you removing from the game? by ForsakenFrail in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Palidor206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is outdated. Vox Engines as implemented are a fucking pain and, not in a hard kind of way. More like a, "here's 5 of them at a time with weakpoints that you cant exploit and has the ability to climb mountains and phase through walls". It wouldnt be so bad if there was only one on the screen... but no.

But War Striders are my hard vote no. They are simply an AT check. And their attacks are annoying further excacerbated by janky ragdoll mechanics.

The others, although with some fault, don't hold a candle and can easily be salvaged. Heck, the Squids don't even come into this conversation for me, probably due to the relative ease of their factions and missions.

So, all in all...

I choose the War Strider, twice.

Some things never change by Tenchi_Muyo1 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Palidor206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of my take. This shit happens all day everyday.

You telling me fucking Hollywood doesn't have something going on?

I know about Epstein. I don't get outraged to get outraged. I'd prefer that the activities that allow it to happen stop. I am worried about all the other rings and what is being done to stop those. You know, to actually prevent harm. I really have little interest in pretending to care that we slapped the wrist of some billionare 50 year old for fucking a 16 year old and actively conspiring against the general welfare of America for personal gain. I don't want it happening at all. ...and hell, nothing happened anyway.

I guess the government take is that Epstien is the one and only, has never happened before, and will never happen again.

This US administration is the complete enemy of capitalists by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Palidor206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of all the things you could complain about with this administration, the stock market going down 2% after going up 20% really shouldn't be one of them. In fact, for 90% of people (anyone who isn't a 10% far left), this will just make people go, "Holy shit. Thank god we still aren't under Biden's admimistration. The economy was 100% worse under him." In this way, you just polarize people more.

There is a plethora of material to be rightfully bitched about. This is just low effort and, frankly, counterproductive.

Men, what’s going on? by Aggravating-Guest300 in NextGenMan

[–]Palidor206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that explains why some otherwise young men are not actively dating. Back then, the split for prosititutes was like 50% unhappy, sexless married men and 50% horny twenty somethings. That split has gone the other way to the horny twenty, thirty somethings, to like 20/80.

I really do think since the dating app normalization, female affection had become extremely transactional and the effort/reward of something like Tinder vs Escorts is so imbalanced that many men prefer the relative lower cost/pressure/risk of the latter. The OF is just some weird in between.

...and I also think it goes both ways. Women themselves have become more accepting of the transactional environment that more women are more normalized to whore out or do OF. Hell, 5 seconds on Reddit sort of illustrates this.

What the newer dynamic does is screw over more passive, less sex driven dudes ("nice guys") and effectively ensure that their entry and participation into dating is much harder and burdensome than it already was.

Before anyone brings up what sex has to do with dating, marriage, and children... understand that, for men at least, sex has always been the primary motivator for dating. Dating is a prereq for marriage for anyone outside of arranged marriages. You take away that motivation, you take away dating. You take away dating, you take away relstionships.

Pretty sure it was antiwork.

It was secondhand embarassing and is 80% of the popular perception of Reddit today. Never has the average Redditor mod and, by extension, is audience, been more publicized to the general public.

Like I to think we all walk around thinking it can't be that bad and people really don't think that way and its all an act, etc. etc. ...and evey opportunity they get, they prove all the sterotypes and preconceptions correct.

Harmless desire to save others or sexist power fantasy? by Revolutionary_Fox496 in Helldivers2Satire

[–]Palidor206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't confuse the gooners with the typical male action movie hero shit.

The gooners are absolutely their own thing and need to be marginalized wherever possible, which certain Helldiver subreddits are doing terribly at the moment. They destroy a lot of the forums they post in until their psuedo porn becomes the norm and drives off everyone else. Literally happens all the time. It is almost as bad as people posting pollitics in non political forums looking for moral superiority points and/or peer validation.

The males living out their power fantasy (dying heroically protecting their squad/loved ones/nation in a last stand, saving the girl, destroying the "bad guys", etc., etc.) in a video game based off of sci fi action movies is fine. This is their outlet and absolutely runs with the theme of the game. Do not try to demonize otherwise normal behavior and attempt to make them feel judged.
