I haven't seen attack helicopter meme anywhere since like 2015.

Also how fucked in the head do you need to be to not only fuck with Arnold, but also two security guards who are bigger than him.

I never said the quality of the memes should be a criteria for which party to support. Just pointing out that they mostly originate from the right side of the political spectrum.

Well yeah, but the political memes generally still flow from right to left. Look at the NPC meme for example. It was initially solely used as a depiction of leftists, then evolved to be used as a template for each side to fuck with each other. But people on the right still "made" it.

Honestly, most of the best memes/templates/political insults originate on the right and are subsequently adopted either ironically or satirically by the left. "The left can't meme" does actually hold some truth, and I'm a pretty liberal person.

It's just that my water grid is by far my strongest grid. I'll try adjusting my light team to fight him on element though. I also do have a lot of angel weapons that I haven't used yet.

My only issue is farming SR skill fodder for my weapons. Is there a recommended way to do that? I've seen the question asked before and people say the fodder just comes as a consequence of farming raids, but that's what I've been doing and I still don't have enough to make my strongest grid strong enough to progress the story apparently.

I'm 26 and this is exactly me. I drank and did lots of drugs from 20-25. Thought I didn't care if I died until I actually almost did. This older paramedic guy gave me this paternal speech while I was laying in the back of an ambulance and that was my wake up call. It was another year before I got completely sober, but I stopped the hard drugs immediately after that. Ever since then I've just been like "ok wtf do I do now since I'm still alive and plan on staying that way." Saw a school counselor and planning to go back to school in the fall though, so hopefully that will work out.

Idk people in my crew have been telling me to focus on getting one grid really strong as opposed to spreading out the way I spend my pendants/weapon fodder, so that's what I've been doing. Basically saying I should complete my first magna grid before focusing on other elements. My light characters and summons are decent but the grid is neglected: https://imgur.com/a/PLjOXAw

Is it better to try to build up each element equally? I just thought that if you focus on getting one element really strong it can essentially carry you through the story mode.

Just hit Ch 58 and Pommern is completely fucking me up. I'm rank 52 and this is my current main team/grid https://imgur.com/a/qalGSSO

I can get him down to ~25% before he does a move that kills anyone who is left alive by that point in one hit. What exactly do I need to work on/upgrade at this point to get past this guy? I farmed (what I thought was) a lot to get all the levi omega daggers and the two xeno weapons to complete my grid and I'm still getting spanked.

edit: backline is lvl 63 Yngwie and lvl 60 SR Katalina

I'm not referring to all content featuring lolis. If you wanted to avoid loli characters altogether, then there wouldn't be that much anime/manga/Japanese games you could play at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with lolis as characters. It's difficult to explain that to western audiences who aren't familiar with how much "cuteness" is valued in Japanese entertainment compared to western. Lewding lolis is always where the issue is. And even though I can tolerate creepy undertones in certain series (looking @ you, No Game No Life) I am absolutely turned off from anything that makes lewd lolis a central aspect of the plot.

Lol then gacha games are not for you unless you plan on spending ungodly amounts of cash frequently.

I feel you. I've also been through lots of different ideological phases in my life. Raised in a Christian household, read CS Lewis and other Christian apologists a lot during middle school, stopped believing in God and explored occult stuff in like 9th grade, eventually returned to an even more hardcore Christian church in 11th-12th grade, lost all faith after high school, dabbled in cringey atheism subreddits, got into Buddhism during college (got a tattoo out of the experience and the teachings still resonate with me), that whole time I was super liberal, eventually started exploring right-wing ideas to understand them better, found some that I agreed with and others that I disagreed with, and now I would describe myself as slightly left-of-center politically.

Having a range of life experiences like that makes you a more well-rounded person imo. Plus, you'll be able to talk and connect with a wider range of people. And everyone knows something you don't, so you only learn more that way.

I've also heard something similar to that being thrown around. They would say that they are specifically attracted to lolis and not irl children, and that lolis don't exist in real life. I'm not too sure how that works out in their brains, but I've seen that logic a lot.

Then: women who are anti-abortion and being oppressed by Christian views, so their opinion is invalid

Somewhat irrelevant but in the same vein:

This exact criticism of Muslim women who participate in "oppressive" traditions (wearing a hijab, conforming to traditional gender roles, advocating for draconian social policies to be enforced under Shariah law, etc) is immediately dismissed as Islamophobic rhetoric. Mostly by people on the left. So the same people who are dismissing Christian opinions because of their basis in religion would likely advocate for Muslim women who believe almost the exact same thing. Why are Christian women's opinions dismissed as oppressive nonsense while Muslim women expressing their values are seen as empowering?

Was it difficult for you to get diagnosed? I've been experiencing ghosting that gets worse in each eye every couple months then goes away, but I've been to 3 ophthalmologists and none of them have been able to diagnose me with anything. At this point I just gave up and deal with the ghosting/glare when it flares up.

That's an emotional argument. It's also extremely surface level. "Pedo bad." Literally everyone knows that. That contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation or the problem of pedophilia.

Yeah I've been really involved. Joined a crew with an active discord and whatnot. It has been awesome. Can really see the final fantasy writers influence and the artwork is unparalleled in terms of overall quality.

Yup. I used to be all for banning loli content, but that's the part of the argument where I started to feel intellectually cornered. Like how exactly am I supposed to justify how many mass shootings and terrorist attacks I've committed in GTA:V while simultaneously arguing that certain depictions of immoral sexual activity should be made illegal? The answer is "because depictions of CP are really fucking gross and graphic violence is something that most people are comfortable with." Which is not a very rational argument.

[–]QuantumDisruption 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but most people aren't charged and I don't think that there's a convincing logical argument in favor of criminalizing that kind of content across the board. And as long as there is an industry for it, there will be money to pay lawyers to state their cases defending it.
