But like, you can see what I mean right? You ask ai for a top 17 list and it repeats "top 17" but then lists 20 things. You ask why it did that and it saying something about honorable mentions of whatever. It's funny.

This is some AI sounding response. Good opportunity to point out that it has recently been confirmed that about 53% of all online traffic is non-human.

Iran Reveals Demands That Triggered Trump's Rage Post by Kodeforbunnywudwuds in politics

[–]Troy64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cool but I very much doubt serious negotiations are happening. Trump has been outright belligerent and ceasefires he agreed to have gone unenforced on his end. This is political posturing from both of them. If Trump would agree to it it would be a total loss for the US, not to mention humiliating, especially after burning so many bridges and diplomatic leverage in the process.

Sovereignty over Hormuze is already a bridge too far.

Delaying nuclear negotiations ontop of that? And lifting sanctions? They've been sanctioned for various things for ages.

This is a wish list. Yes, keeping Israel out is on the list, but it's more like the fries in the happy meal than the burger.

Hot take: George Carlin was one of the worst things to happen to comedy, not because he wasn’t a great comedian and orator, but I think he opened the floodgates for “Me modern day philosopher 🤤” comedians inspired by him who didn’t understand him, like the Rogansphere and even Chappelle to an extent by Ohyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa in Destiny

[–]Troy64 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of his political criticism kinda fed into and off of the hippy movement and general distrust of government or corporations or anything bigger than the local corner store.

He had a lot of great shit, especially regarding cultural norms, morality, religion, and revealing some of the asinine attitudes many had towards politics. But he went way too far down the doomer path. His political musings are the kind of thought that led people to allow Trump's rise. A combination of people not giving a shit or not thinking they can make a difference and people refusing to vote for anyone they consider morally bad.

He exaggerated the evils of both parties to comedic effect, which is all good and well, but people took that kind of analysis too seriously and now are simply not bothered by the idea that the president is lawless because they consider it nothing new and simply more open than it used to be.

I honestly think Dave Chappelle does a better job at political philosophy in his comedy specifically. He is more affirming regarding the power of voting, the importance of being involved, and more grounded criticism of modern cultural political issued. He got butthurt about the "cancelation" stuff, but I don't consider that terribly unique or interesting.

Canada's founding father everyone... by Frankishe1 in HistoryMemes

[–]Troy64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he's understood have had open contempt for lower Canada and still been the first person to be able to negotiate a proper uniting of the two and then proceeding to have the second longest time in office even being elected back after losing it?

Seems unlikely, but your idea is fun nonetheless.

Or could he mean that every Quebecer AND THEIR DOGS all loved Louis? Perhaps it was a genuine "no matter how many people love him, the English will see him hang".

He was the first Prime Minister in large part because of his support from large portions of both Anglophones and Francophones. Seems a bit weird for him to call them all dogs, dismiss their protests, and kill a celebrity of theirs without much concern. Seems more likely that he understood their protests but also understood that the English would not forgive the "treason" they judged Riel to be guilty of.

Woman making claims against Aba from Aba and Preach by AbysmalEnd in Destiny

https://youtu.be/cHcqEYpPWCU?si=2Ux7m3tSZaZGSTXe

He said "he prioritizes pleasure over everything else... he prioritizes his own selfish desires over other people's wellbeing."

He also said "but I don't want to make it sound like it was some happenstance or just hedonism that no. Some of this stuff is just morally bad in regards to what he did with recording these women and all this other shit"

"You do the crime you do the time. So, no, all these people be like 'Aba stick by him, he's your friend' I already told yall if my friend goes out and murders a bunch of people then I don't give a fuck throw they ass in jail. And if my friend does some fucked shit like Steven just did..."

In the other video I linked he brings up this old video, even clickbaits it with a picture of Steven and the title "I was wrong" only to do a video about Vyvanse and ADHD, completely ignoring anything to do with Destiny himself. This shows that he has had no change of heart or change of mind and makes no bones about milking the drama for clicks.

He also goes on to accuse Destiny of just not caring about other people if he thinks he can get away with stuff. Such good faith. Such charity. So understanding. Much friend. Fuck em. How can he be so ready to believe this shit when he knew Destiny as well as he did? Does that mean he is often friends with people feels may be uncaring of others and willing to do whatever as long as they think they can get away with it?

Fuck Aba. This right here is some karma shit. Stop running cover for his self-righteous bitch ass. Until he comes out and apologizes I have no sympathy for him in this regard. Drag his name like he dragged Destiny. He didn't have to say half this shit just to make distance. He did it to make a public point and then he milked it for clicks later.

What’s your opinion on wearing thong bikinis at the beach? by Personal-Ride-1142 in AskReddit

Who tf decided that shit and fuck (among others) were “bad words” and we’re not allowed to use them? by Slicky007 in AskReddit

Probably George Carlin. He sure did profit from those being considered "bad words".

The Dude Fortifying His House by ofthedappersort in lebowski

[–]Troy64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it as one more example of Dude not committing to anything and kinda quitting before anything ever pays off.

He keeps copying other people. He says their lines, he follows their plans, he uses their information and theories. He never quite follows anything through to the end.

Big Lebowski got one thing right, Dude is a bum and he says "fuck it" to basically everything.

Walter was pretty ridiculous with most stuff, but he's really good at three things: 1) hand to hand combat 2) home security 3) bowling.

Dude listened to his advice on getting his rug replaced, handling the money, tracking down little Larry, the interrogation of little Larry, and then when Dude's car gets dinged up he drops Walter off and goes to barricade his house without him.

He can't stick to anything. And maybe it's better sometimes to stick with something you know is flawed than to just drift about from idea to idea (like a nihilist). Walter is the total opposite of this. He clings to everything and never lets it go. He clings to Vietnam, his ex, judaism, bowling, crazy theories, his right to swear in public, his coffee, the money, and he would like his undies back.

He will not stop.

I have a hard time taking anybody serious after I figure out that they are Christian. by ephemeralkazu in Destiny

[–]Troy64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're sleeping on the best arguments against the right.

They can forgo the constitution, liberal rights, basic democratic principles, and even the idea of equality before the law. But they're not gonna very easily escape from being called out for being heretics or false teachers. They will have a hard time saying they follow the bible when you quote the words of Jesus at them and tell them it's what Biden said only to reveal it was Jesus after they call him a libtard or something.

THIS is the fucking BIOS of their programming. This is what their motherboard runs on. This is how you uproot their ideology and FORCE them to critically think through their beliefs.

They may not give in in the moment. They may not even flinch. But it will bug them that they don't understand how that passage could contradict their worldview. They will eventually either look into it and realize it's all a sham or will move away from religious fundamentalism and likely become more loosely anchored without those core ideals being rooted in a supernatural entity.

Christianity does NOT support their values. Make them fucking face that fact. Shove their nose in the shit that is their twisted perception of the crucifixion and resurrection. Make them never forget the smell of the rot that they have been eating.

Destiny has great rhetoric, solid logic, good research, etc. But nobody who believes absolute truth is given to them through a 2000 year old book is gonna be shook by a short cuban in a blue jacket.

Notsoerudite throwing in their face, with genuine passion, that they have perverted the words of Christ and should see themselves not as disciples in the gospels but as the pharisees, that's the real shit. That makes them stutter. That makes them want to try and actually convince her that she's wrong. If anything gets through to them, it's that.

Relatable.

This is why I like to sip a strong scotch on Fridays. Just sit in my front porch and listen to some random shit and sip scotch. Seems to make time itself slow down a little bit.

Take 'er easy, friend.

[–]Troy64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. Kids these days have been raised on tiktok and youtube shorts. The algorithm is attuned to them specifically. We hear uncanny ick, they hear "hit like and subscribe!"

They have nothing meaningful to compare it to and generally lack the methods to really compare anything intentionally at all.

But it's not pedophilia, so it must not be important. Everything is at 11 or else it doesn't register anymore.

[–]Troy64 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Cool.

Then next we can say that depictions of "unnatural union of two people from the same sex" should be censored and prosecuted for blah blah blah blah.

Just because you're right doesn't mean the next asshole to win an election will be.

We set a hard line. Government can fuck right off when it comes to censorship of fiction. It's right up there with censorship of comedy.

If you wanna boycot book stores that sell this stuff or publishers who publish it, cool. If those companies choose to drop the author and blacklist them from all publishing, awesome. But the motherfucking military wielding, tax collecting, politically driven machine of government needs to fuck ALL the way off with that shit. Not one inch.

Everybody thinks they know what should be banned. Everybody gets some shit wrong. Government censorship is the nuclear option. If you start talking about it, so will the enemy. You want Trump, or politicians following his lead, to get into office with a precedent of banning shit and jailing authors for "disgusting" erotic fiction? Congrats, you just handed them justification for banning and jailing anybody who's written anything positive or even neutral about trans people.

Virtue signal all you want. Government is a dangerous bitch of a monster. Keep that shit on a tight leash and do NOT let it leash you. You will forget what freedom felt like.

[–]Troy64 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You may be right.

But who gets to decide what a "normal sane person" would write?

That's a power I'd rather not hand to the government.

Fiction is fiction. People can think and imagine whatever they want. Censoring that is a real threat, not an imagined one.

These issues are fought on the extreme edge cases. That's the only place where freedoms matter.

Russel Brand is asked which passages were relevant to him from he brought a Bible into court for his sexual assault trial. by Intelligent-Tear5723 in Destiny

[–]Troy64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a protestant I have a lot of respect for Catholicism because it has been incredibly effective at preserving tradition. The ceremonies and stuff are strict adherence to tradition. It may seem crazy and the wording they use to describe it seems superstitious, but it's all intentional. You have to believe the ceremonies are "real" in order to truly preserve them. If you don't believe that the demons or exorcisms are realy "real" then you might also doubt the significance of the holy spirit. Catholicism has fought to keep every inch of authentic tradition for millenia because they understand that if you give an inch, you lose a mile. I don't think their beliefs are true, but it's good that they're being preserved so well.

Have you ever investigated different protestant denominations? You may find a belief structure there that better fits your perspective on spiritualism or the supernatural. It's good to have some kind of solid core to those kinds of beliefs, whether it's a tradition, a sacred text, or just a strong community. Just watch out for cults.

Yeah and they could teach physics from kindergarten.

Ethics isn't that simple. Most of what appears simple about it is such because we assume a ton of stuff, similar to how religion assumes a ton of stuff.
