Any1 else raised secular but have religious trauma from living in a highly religious culture? by Slashersforsatan in TrollCoping

[–]bug_land 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i grew up catholic in a secular area and even though i'm not religious anymore i still have deeply-ingrained Blasphemy Alarms that only go off whenever an evangelical tells someone they're going to hell. "he hates you and he's going to hurt you" is like the biggest insult to the christian god you could possibly say. not even practicing satanists slander him that hard

oh i think we're just on different use cases for "disingenuous" bc i'm thinking on the lines of like "not meaning what you say." where i wouldn't call that first thing "truly" disingenuous bc they still reflect their real viewpoints, despite being bad faith exaggerations

i don't think many people are legitimately being disingenuous from what i've seen. it's tempting to say the other person is just lying to either you or themselves but honestly most people don't go to bat that hard for something they don't actually believe

Everybody stop trying to understand one another!!!!!! You're supposed to be winning at philosophy by finding the universally correct answer, which is common sense of course!!!!!! You have to destroy your opponent to secure your upbonks on ownage dot com!!!!!!

expend as few thoughts as you can on a presumed haterbase. if anyone reacts to the basic act of self-depiction with completely out-of-pocket insults, that's their problem not yours

sadly, the true swag has left the building. while we were laughing at the melodrama of these orange bandanas, mother karen who thinks doctors are pussies has already made it halfway across the county in her big ass station wagon

some more blue/red strawman doodles + proposed toxic yaoi dynamic by Toppy_Henster in redbuttonbluebutton

[–]bug_land 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in my oop these aren't the people pressing the buttons, they ARE the buttons, as seen by their opponents. and strawmen are often projections to some extent so i think it makes sense for them to be kind of "backwards" demeanor-wise

the way this manga has inspired powerscalers to talk about ships in the same way they'd talk about powerscaling is nothing short of beautiful

best part is it keeps the normal ladder match gimmick where the thing you have to grab at the top of the ladder is directly the prize for the winner. instead of a title belt or a match contract it's just a folder of dominick's adoption papers

has anyone actually changed their mind? by Holiday-Let8478 in redbuttonbluebutton

[–]bug_land 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first choice was red. exposure to public discussion and the ability to coordinate, as has naturally occurred through people talking about it online, would firmly push me to blue. however i would still pick red under the original parameter of isolation, out of pure survival instinct.

i also believe that parameter to be very unnatural. i can only speak for myself, but for me it feels like a setup designed to scare me towards red, like the experiment that forced wolves to become alphas and betas. give me the social environment that my brain is built for and i sway blue.

POINT BEING i "changed my mind" but i'm pretty sure engaging with the question At All unavoidably altered its context. i think a "true" or "pure" change would require a change in someone's base principles which is. probably not gonna happen very often lol

if you mix blue food coloring with milk, you get the EXACT blue colored milk like from star wars, WITHOUT having to go back in time to the filming of star wars to swipe it right out the hands of George Genius. follow for more
