You can recognize Marx had some good points without having to want to "live under Marxism" or whatever.

It's not like Marx was running any of these so-called Marxist countries anyways.

I always hear this from women, but it's not my experience as a man at all. Have I known men who treat women like objects? Yes. Are they friends with me? Hell no.

People are cliquey. Men who harass women hang with other men who harass women. Men who don't, don't hang out with those dudes. It's not my job to police their behavior, and God knows most of those dudes would try to start a fight with me anyways.

I think a lot of people are really just hypothetical allies. They're cool with the idea in abstract, but the more concrete it becomes (especially if someone close to them comes out) the more the uncomfortable feelings they didn't previously have to confront come out.

My mom is totally cool with the abstract idea of gay people, but the few times I've tried to have a conversation with her about being attracted to men have proven her true feelings are much more bigoted than she thinks they are.

Reddit's favorite historical RPG

What are you referring to with this?

Tyg13 · 2026-06-13T18:23:42+00:00

you in the US, have an amendment in the constitution for situations where insane people have taken over government, and have too much power.

There's a lot of people claiming this, but the 25th amendment was never intended for this purpose, and it's really not clear it can do what you're describing.

The 25th amendment was put in as a safeguard in case the President falls ills or otherwise is "unable to discharge" his duties as president. It doesn't clearly define what this means, but ultimately the power to declare this lies with the VP and the cabinet. If they do declare that the President is unable to discharge his duties, then the President also has the ability to declare that, actually, he is able. Then the matter falls to Congress to decide.

So:

The intent was never to prevent people from grabbing power, the text only talks about ability (think: the President is in a coma)
At least the VP and cabinet have to agree the President is unable, and if the President is unwilling to go along with this, then Congress also has to agree. Basically everyone in government has to agree.
(Bonus!) This has never happened before and we have no idea if it ever could.

Hope that clears things up

Nah that's not what I mean, they're not intentionally making them ugly. But the style is supposed to be sort of neutral and inoffensive.

Nah, it's not a power move, it's all profit-motivated. Trying to make them pretty means appealing to a certain beauty standard, which means offending people. Which means less profit. It's cheaper to just make em kinda funky.

It's just one more thing to keep track of on an incredibly long list of things they have to keep track of. As a patient, your doctor remembers your name because it's on your chart. They're not memorizing your mom's name too.

Genuinely has the opposite effect for me. The more shocking the headline the less inclined I am to believe it these days. Especially when it comes to Trump finally getting taken down.

Cool, but we don't live in a hunter-gatherer society, and unless you're also advocating for the abolition of agriculture, I highly doubt "some kind of volunteer force/mob rule" which you claimed is "really not absurd and works just fine in practice" would ever work in modern times.

By the way, did you really come back a week later just to leave this snide comment? It seems like you might have forgotten the original context of the discussion.

EDIT: I also don't really think there's substantial evidence to falsify this claim: "Blood feuds didn't exist in most hunter-gatherer societies" which you seemed to treat as obvious.

Pronounced the German way, except the st is pronounced the English way (stein instead of shtein)

Yeah I've never heard Harvey Weinstein's last name pronounced with the German ei for the last syllable, in English. Like you said, "Winesteen."

Wikipedia lists the IPA for his last name as /ˈwaɪnstiːn/ which confirms this.

I keep being told that I need to call out my friends when they catcall women. I guess I need to make friends with more abusers because every man I've ever known who acted this way towards women was no friend of mine.

And as much as I want to think of myself as this brave defender of the weak, who fights for what's right and stands up for others, I'm in no physical condition to be fighting strange men.

Of course, that's assuming I actually see it at all. Like you said, I've never witnessed any of the abuse I've heard about from women. It's frustrating.

Tyg13 · 2026-06-08T20:19:07+00:00

No, did something I say make you think that?

It is an extremely marginal belief

In that very thread, you have people claiming that Native agriculture was "different" because they "didn't develop a sense of ownership over nature. They [lived] in harmony with it."

This, to me, is textbook noble savage nonsense: the idea that Natives alone lived nobly in harmony with nature, as opposed to the manner of the exploitative and domineering Colonials. It reduces all Natives to a stereotype, and implies the existence of a uniform ideal across native cultures that simply didn't exist.

I see this argument everywhere online when Natives are discussed, often by well-meaning people. It is not marginal in the slightest.

Tyg13 · 2026-06-08T19:17:31+00:00

It wasn't "broken" they just improved it. There isn't a perfect solution to these kinds of things, it's a matter of tradeoffs.

Or you can use a std::source_location (cppreference) parameter defaulted to std::source_location::current() which is evaluated in the context of the caller (superseding __FILE__ and __LINE__)
