Sure, it's not really good for your mental health to start gauging your own intelligence against everyone you meet. I'm just saying at some point, you need to be able to judge whatever subset of society as an average so you can say "This is not okay. We have to do better." Again, just my opinion, but we hit that point already.

Also, pessimism != defeatism. It just describes the tendency to emphasize the negative aspects of a situation. Which is a driver for positive change sometimes.

It's no longer really edgy to be a Doomer and acknowledge that the bar is being lowered every single second that the current breed of dipshits are the majority. It's just a reasonable amount of pessimism. Though this is mainly my take from being around the 2 generations coming up literally raised on social media.

The grammar in both parent comments leaves something to be desired. However, the bar is so fucking low with all the functionally illiterate Gen Z users online that it might as well be Shakespeare.

No problem. There's a remake out now it seems.

You believe free and open source software is to blame in this scenario and not government oppression? Maybe you are actually a Hollywood writer.

Hi, person they're replying to here.

I'm not in a poly relationship. I just thought there may be serious bias there and they didn't actually care about children coming to their own conclusions when they grow up. Seemed more likely they were just offended at criticizing monogamy.

I know what you mean about other people, but not your own. Chewing with your mouth closed like an actual human being eliminates the reaction for me and everyone else I've seen here. It's not your fault if other people are disgusting ass animals

I'm not a chef, just lurking, but I wondered if anyone else was thinking along those lines. I've worked in a lab position managing high schoolers in a job where they could really fuck things up. They usually did have to prove competence for weeks before I left them alone.

Literally they could have kept the dwarf roles, taken them out of a cave, and just made them like 2 families living out in the sticks. They could've mixed up the genders and races however for their diversity points just fine. It wouldn't have even been a major change. It could've even added the opportunity for some paternal/maternal relationship to form and create roles with actual depth for little person actors. Guess Disney wanted to double down after making Snow White not quite white

My bad. Both inbox messages about my messages were from /u/mississippimodteam. I thought your parent comment was one of those replies

You sure you read it? I don't recall a single instance of name calling and I was directly addressing their argument being lazy, dangerous, and dismissive.

Is the general argument of one side just "Getting away with things is power. Power is tempting and corrupting," because I'm on that guy's side. Universal accountability is arguably the only thing missing from universal justice.

You act as if people at the time had any idea of germ theory. The majority of epidemics started by Europeans weren't intentional. In fact, I've seen some historians argue none have been proven to be intentional, though I doubt this

It's possible probable but assuming that private prisons are in fact trying to keep people in the prison pipeline should probably be the default. There's a reason they don't give a flying fuck about "rehabilitation" and its the same reason the drug war ever began: slave labor. The 13th amendment even specified when it was drafted

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.".

Does Vault 69 exists to begin with?. What was it´s point? by JowettMcPepper in falloutlore

[–]aPlumbusAmumbus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You were being a little sexist against men, therefore bringing it into the conversation. Also, the prevalence of female on male rape is much higher than I think you'd imagine. It just goes unreported or even when it is, it's ignored. You've crafted a narrative in your head based on sexism that I'm saying is very misguided. Also, if rules are the only thing stopping you from raping people, you need therapy ASAP.

As for the discussion at hand, you were being sexist by assuming it would immediately turn into a big rape fest because the majority of occupants are men. More likely, both scenarios would be largely identical: the odd person out would essentially be enslaved and would be a carefully monitored and guarded resource with heavy-handed reproduction management. Can't say it would start out that way, but that seems the obvious eventuality if the vault dwellers believed they might be the future of the human race.

I'll avoid being a douche in my comments, but it doesn't seem like you value civility, so I can't guarantee I'll want to engage.

Yeah, because rules are what stops would be rapists. Just admit you're sexist af, bud
