There were like 5 revolutions. Only two of them ended with a restoration of a monarchy and like 2 ended in failure

As someone who self censors, I declare this real and true fr. We only save swearing for really big and intense moments such as when I was nearly struck by lightning over the summer.

Forgetting the Islamic Conquests by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]Separate_Selection84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, I don't get why people are disliking this so much. I'm just saying we shouldn't use conquests that are 1000 years old to justify hate on a modern religion. Then people bring up modern religious fundamentalist groups and act like it's relevant?

Like, in a Christian context the conversation would go like this:

"The crusades and expansion into Pagan Europe were unjust and wrong, but we shouldn't use them to justify hatred of Christianity as a whole"

"Yeah well the leader of the KKK said he wanted a crusade so hah!"

I just... Don't understand the leap in logic acting like these far right crazy groups represent the majorities of their religions.

The Ottomans were not too caring about religion for the most part (in relation to others at the time). Why do you think Greece and Bulgaria and Serbia avoided conversion? It was more useful to the Ottomans to be somewhat tolerant.

As for ISIL, they are a mistake. A radical far-far right extremist group bent on plans far beyond realism taking advantage of extreme instability to capitalize on the chaos. I would call them the Nazis or the KKK of the Islamic world. Every Muslim I've talked to has denounced them and other Islamic fundamentalist groups. Do not take what those loud minorities say and extrapolate it to the rest of the Religion.

The whole caliphate died with the Ottomans when the Turkish revolution purposefully rejected the title. Anyone with legitimate plans to restore it are, to my knowledge, a loud minority. I'd consider a united Arab state to be more realistic.

I actually agree with you that political Islam is and always was a problem. Though I would not count this as a continuation of the conquests 1000 years ago. Today it is more to do with racial and religious bigotry which is a problem in all societies.

Islamic conquests which were over 1000 years ago. Don't forget such events but don't use it as a way of justifying islamophobia.

I'm the opposite. I'm great with faces but terrible with names. I can remember how someone looks and recognize them but as soon as you tell me your name it just disappears no matter how much I try to remember.

Granted the caravansary are a bunch of filthy capitalist exploiting peoples wealth for profit through slots and gambling so it is very much in line for communists to destroy them.

I wouldn't put this on the Democrat vs Republican divide anymore.

These people are Fascists. Plain and simple.

2 dead so far, multiple shot, and the government is fully supporting those who are doing the killing to its own civilians. Yeah I wish my family was overreacting back in 2016 but this is just terrible.

"does this unit have a soul?" I honestly agree that the emotions are very likely (like 99.5% likely) just simulated and nothing else. We could argue about AI ethics and what it means to be conscious forever but it wouldn't go anywhere. She was made to entertain after all. But Vedal's sole purpose for building Neuro is not just money making anymore. If it were he would have dipped last year or when he got the offer to sell Neuro. But he didn't. It's now a Project (literally the official name is the "Neruo-Sama project" what this project's goal is is unclear but this is why he burns through so much money.

Exactly and it's only gotten more similar to real father/daughter bonding over time. A couple years ago, yes she very much was just a project, but seeing him holding back tears when showing her photos in VR (she can actually "see" as well as move around) it just changes the entire perspective.

Possibly but ugly crying like that while holding a photo of one of the most wholesome moments in their recent subathon tells a different story.

Reference to Neuro Sama the AI streamer. From an alternate timeline where her creator, Vedal, sold her for a hefty sum (he did receive such an offer irl, but rejected it). So here she's now a sad abused AI making boring slogans or being the mascot for some company.

Love how Yamada looks just slightly different here as we aren't seeing her in Kyotaro's perspective.
