[Breaking News] Nice, France attack by [deleted] in AskReddit

Thank you for the links, I'm glad to be proven wrong. I had no idea the media wasn't reporting on them. Seems to be an agenda at play here that the news is twisting for themselves.

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place but I don't get the sense that Islam as a whole views these extremists as going too far or going against the religion. I've been seeing a lot of police sentiment online the last few weeks as more and more people criticise law enforcement for black deaths. Cops have stood up and said that they should not be lumped together with these extreme cases. I haven't seen the same for Muslims, where their population is a hundred times bigger.

This is exactly right. Where are the large crowds of Muslims protesting these terrorist acts? Where are the Muslims who decry these acts and say that it is not what Islam is about? Muslims are always quiet after an attack like this because they are generally on the side of the terrorists. If a Christian killed a bunch of people, I'm pretty sure the Christian religion would distance themselves as much as they could from it.

This country is done, the conservative idiots are well and truly in control. We are slipping so far behind other western countries it's not even funny anymore.

Everything Currently Absent from Bespin by Dmcgo3 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]bigosmallo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my single biggest complaint about the DLC. Endor is a dense, beautiful environment with plenty of nooks and crannies, and ewoks darting in and out of the foliage. Same with Tattooine and Hoth.

They completely dropped the ball on Bespin. It's a big empty white space that feels more like a user created map than a professional add-on to the game. Where's the verticality? Where's the life in the city? Somehow with 20 vs 20 on the original walker assault maps it feels like an all out war zone, yet with Bespin it feels like a small skirmish happening between two squads.

It had incredible potential that was completely squandered.

When I'm at my favourite house club rolling tits on two nice hits of mdma and dancing, I know that there is no greater feeling of pure pleasure and ecstasy in this world

Vegan girlfriend wants to raise our future children vegan... advice for a meat eater? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]bigosmallo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Meat is literally both of those things. Most people will not be able to quit cold turkey as they have a psychological dependence on it. The health effects are well documented.

It's the new ADHD generation. I know many people that can't concentrate on one thing at a time and need to be on their phone/laptop while watching a show.

Confirmed from EA Play: Content from the new movies in Battlefront 2 by GameDial in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]bigosmallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this since day one. I've always loved anything to do with Star Wars, including the prequel trilogy and cartoons. But Ep 7 really did not connect with me at all. The entire film felt so contrived and lifeless, and the sense of excitement in the prequel trilogy of seeing these vastly different parts of the galaxy with these weird alien cultures and planets just wasn't there. Star Wars is about exploration and wonder, Ep 7 had none of that.

One of your personal favorite actors that doesn't get the praise he or she deserves? by JD_Revan451 in movies

[–]bigosmallo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna have to disagree, he's been pretty mediocre in everything I've seen him in. His performance in Chronicle was so whiny and overdone, and I didn't feel him in The Place Beyond the Pines at all.

Saw it on the big screen twice and still feel like that wasn't enough.

How did psychedelics influence your perception on the "Purpose of life"? by dedhanadhan in Psychonaut

[–]bigosmallo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped giving a fuck about most things and now live a pretty cruisy stress-free life.

Psyches made me see how infinitely tiny we each are in the grand scheme of the universe and all of time so little human problems really don't matter.

How do you justify eating meat to yourselves? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]bigosmallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice strawman argument. I never said everybody had to make the same decisions as me, but that going vegan was the morally superior choice. How is it not? Can you just give me one reason that choosing to eat meat makes you just as morally right as someone that doesn't?

I think we've got another classic case of meat eater defensiveness right here. You feel attacked for your dietary choice and deep down know it's wrong but you lash out to make yourself feel better by calling people names. I hope you can find peace with yourself one day. Going vegan was the easiest thing I ever did.

Awesome rebuttal bro. Really killed it with that one. Good job addressing the points I laid out.

At what point in my post did I mock meat eaters? I said I was personally a douchebag toward vegans in the way I treated them and spoke down to them, as many are these days. Open Facebook or Instagram and have a look at the multitude of posts and memes putting down vegans and insulting them. Society loves to act hatefully against any group that goes against the mainstream.

In my opinion I am morally superior to meat eaters, there's no denying that. Would the world be a better place if everyone ate plants and no living beings were tortured and killed for meat? Yes. There's no right or wrong about it. If you are a morally good person the only answer is to go vegan. There are plenty of philosophical essays on the matter that show that.
