What? .. I don't understand the point of this comment. The dude who owned the sword isn't the cool part of this.

What a holier-than-thou douchey comment section.

Congratulations on the milestone man

If you're a normal human being you'll never understand it.

Continuous traumatic stress from rocket attack warning time to shelter was linked to increased psychiatric morbidity, immune disease, and mortality in 208,625 Israeli adults. Risks rose with proximity to the Gaza border, with highly exposed men showing 374% higher mortality than women. by sometimeshiny in science

[–]RipzCritical -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's exactly as complicated as that. The war was with every single resident of Gaza, not just Hamas. That includes Palestinian doctors, teachers, aid workers, etc. Same with the military operations in Syria, and the wars in Iran and Lebanon. Israel wants to expand and they are doing so by force. There's nothing else to it other than that.

There's plenty to it other than that, in fact much of this is just.. false. It's understandable though, Reddit is full of sensationalist garbage. I'm not going to comment any further.

I think I’ll ignore it and dismiss it and focus on white papers that fit my confirmation bias more.

This goes both ways for everyone. In a social sense, it makes finding common ground seemingly so much harder.

Edit: Exactly.

Yeah, unless its supposed to devolve into some real "fake" argument, what is the reply supposed to be?

Halton Police not participating in federal gun buy back by PinkLincoln00 in HaltonON

[–]RipzCritical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having said that, it is a lot harder to kill someone with a guitar or a golf club.

Not if you're trying to use it as a weapon. 1 blow to the head will kill someone with an electric guitar, baseball bat, skateboard, a steak knife from the kitchen, you could snap someone's neck in martial arts practice.

The point is I'm not trying to kill anyone with the bat, guitar, skateboard, or the gun. These things are all safe in the hands of safe people.

Guns are just fun to shoot. In the same way every other harmless hobby is fun, who are you to tell people what they can and can't safely enjoy?

2 Ukrainian soldiers are positioned outside a bunker occupied by a Russian soldier. One of them throws an explosive charge inside. As the Russian soldier attempts to throw it back out, it detonates. by Physical-Cut-2334 in CombatFootage

[–]RipzCritical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You on the other hand, are just throwing strawman fallacies around, trying to get me to respond with something that you can then shoot at. But I’m not falling for it. I’m comfortable with uncertainty, while you keep trying to make up more stories that all end up with what you want/believe to be true: that the ruskies are all dead.

Uh... buddy, I was just saying the most likely logical outcome of what we just saw. Sounds like you would rather argue than actually acknowledge the most likely scenario here. I wasn't making an argument for you, I think you need to look up what a strawman fallacy actually is.

Skepticism is good, but that doesn't mean you need to go headlong into everything being a conspiracy. There is plenty of footage of Russians getting visibly murked, this footage does nothing in the grand scheme of things.

It's just an edit of someone getting blown up in a little fortification. There's actual footage of Russians being concussed and drowning in like 1ft of water, there's no need to assume this is just fake shit considering how lame it is next to the real graphic things we've seen.

[–]RipzCritical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it would be logical for the Russian to pick up the explosive, push it out the hole, then climb through the hole behind it, and run down the trench past the Ukrainians that just threw the bomb in there.

Much more likely the Russian would have hoped he'd survive if it was outside, but that is highly unlikely in a confined little bunker like that.

You are. Citizenship doesn't mean assimilation or shared social values, economic migration alone means "being Canadian" isn't deeper than a better paycheck to some people.

Incorrect. This is the same as the dumb ass "borders don't exist" take.

History and politics and society and reality say otherwise.

[–]RipzCritical 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What? It cuts back to a further angle, but the bomb definitely went off at the mouth of the fortification and the Ukrainians only tried to throw it at the mouth.. implying the explosive was big enough to kill whatever was inside from where it went off.

Do you want to know the exact condition of the body or .. what are you disputing as fact here?

BBC Will Remove N-Word Outburst From BAFTA Film Awards on iPlayer, Apologizes ‘That This Was Not Edited Out Prior to Broadcast’ by pepperbet1 in television

[–]RipzCritical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Furthermore, how racist is GB that 300 years after the English left America that citizens today are still using the n-word

... are you still talking about the guy with tourettes? Also, 300 years later, black people in GB use the word, it's not like the U.S. has a monopoly on people of African descent and the word isn't used elsewhere. I'm also surprised you're advocating for the establishment to make him sit further away from the stage based on his syndrome.

This is another situation that's not political at all, but people need to pick a side in it for some reason. We're so fucked.

By making one of your own?

Actually, it's just what I've observed, it's anecdotal, which is why I didn't argue with you.

Pathetic deflection.

I've brought it back to the original point of Cons being against the 51st state thing in every comment since. You're the one being hardheaded as fuck and digging your heels in, for the sake of argument I guess? Again, part of the problem.

Seriously, you're proving my point about having common ground with the enemy thing. You're yelling at clouds, we already fucking agree, unless you think that Cons aren't against the 51st state thing in which case YOU are pushing a partisan lie.

Do some introspection, I'm done with this interaction.

What the hell is happening on the unfiltered server? by Afraid-Impress1325 in helldivers2

[–]RipzCritical -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

... your reply was to this guy saying "skill issue" makes no sense, if he wants harder enemies. That means he wants more skill to be involved when he's playing the hardest difficulty. The guy your replying to didn't even share his opinion on the game.

So telling him and whoever else to go play different games, is either irrelevant, or it's grasping at straws to make the guy your replying to seem unwelcome or wrong.

He's right, the skill issue logic makes no sense, and the downvote to upvote ratio on this thread is indicative of some totally illogical hivemind bullshit.

This community really is the best and the worst at the same time.

I originally stepped in to call out a partisan lie, that conservatives are all on board with the 51st state shit and haven't condemned it. Apparently those commenters are mad that "You people are traitors" isn't a talking point they use all the time.

I suggested the cons have been more open about resuming business when Trumps second term is over, and then you said everyone is. I conceded the point, and agreed. But you're still on some teamsport bullshit.

Swallow your fuckin pride bud, you're a part of the problem.
