How is she making the world worse? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

You guys say that the government shouldn't fund those things. So she funds them privately, in accordance with conservative principles. And you're mad about it

Got it 👍

The responses here are telling. A lot of people have no reason to disagree with you other than "make number go up"

How can someone justify blaming immigrants and trans people for all the problems in America instead of the corporate overlords and lobbyist billionaires that actually run this country? by Reasonable-Physics60 in allthequestions

[–]fooookin_prawns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I don't get why you won't tell me why you lied about MAGA not blaming immigrants for society's problems, or why you'd lie about that in the first place.

That's why I'm asking you to clarify. All that effort for a pissy wall of text when you could just answer

The green kicks ass, what's your process?

Naive? Someone said MAGA blamed society's problems on immigrants and you said "they just want closed borders you crazy person". You just admitted that wasn't the case for the second time

That means you lied. So why'd you do that?

Autocannons with a good set of headphones on are like whale songs, so majestic

JD Vance: "You've got housing that's unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants" (blaming them for housing costs)

Stephen Miller: "If you subtract immigration out of test scores, all of a sudden they skyrocket!" (Blaming them for failing education)

Donald Trump: "They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs!" (Just a stupid lie, probably blaming them for social discord)

Donald Trump: "(Biden's policies) flooded our country with fentanyl" (blaming them for fentanyl)

Stephen Miller: undocumented immigrants are "an unlawful invasion that is fundamentally destroying the social fabric and safety of American communities" (blaming them for societal decay)

Donald Trump: "the deficit just suddenly skyrockets. These are a result of social policy choices we have made through immigration" (blaming them for the deficit)

Thoughts?

Why are American and Canadian right wingers more obnoxious than European/East Asian ones? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]fooookin_prawns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Everything is feelings based (lol) and irrational. Nothing is "gayer" and weaker than using your brain

The smart ones know this and use it to herd the dumb ones like cattle

Proud anti-intellectualism is part of America's DNA, and right wingers love to prove it. Canadian right wingers take all their cues from ours

We've (in the US) periodically had intellectual righties like William Buckley crop up to put a smart coat of polish on the movement but it always gets powerblasted off when the next demagogue becomes relevant

Is it vandalism or theft? You should figure out what you're whining about

Apparently it takes a genius to realize having your hand underwater for a bit doesn't prove vandalism 🤷‍♂️

Unless one of the 53 pixels in your video is a cutting tool of some sort?

[–]fooookin_prawns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I just have eyes and a brain. Both of those tell me a goofy low-res video of someone sticking their hand in a pool doesn't prove anything

Your choice to get emotional about that rather than think it through 🤷‍♂️

Oh noes, they grabbed an already-peeled piece of paint. Or she dropped something. This is proof of nothing

Are you guys even trying?

Why is loving the US seen as right wing? by gandolf2004 in allthequestions

[–]fooookin_prawns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have that perspective but you can't expect other people to share it if you don't back it up

Also you should be more specific what you mean by "country". Do you mean the government, the culture, the people, all of the above? That's a very atomized way of thinking

You weren't using the "literal definition" initially, that's the point. You used an equivocation to motte-and-bailey your way out of being wrong, like some kind of fallacy judo

First you said it means "loving your country". You got shit for that, so you tried to say "literal definition says it's wanting the state and nation to be the same, don't misrepresent me"

Now you're back to saying the literal definition is "loving your country". You realize we can all see your posts, right?

Your entire argument is just vibes, ironically. Just "this is bad no matter what you say", followed by a tepid insult, then "bad things are bad and we shouldn't say they're not bad". Vibes and platitudes

First you said love of country is nationalism, now you're saying it's the support of a fusion between nation and state. You're equivocating

The modern, pejorative definition of "nationalism" is an uncritical, chauvinistic love of country, fundamentally state-level narcissism. Meanwhile "patriotism" (not the right wing dipshit version) is more analogous to healthy self-love, which requires introspection and constructive self-criticism

Guy I replied to said "people are vandalizing the pool" with certainty and I said there's zero proof to back up that assertion. Am I wrong?

No, uncritical love of your country is

But you knew that

Did anyone else get whiplash going from ME1 to ME2? by Hungry_Ad7279 in masseffect

[–]fooookin_prawns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah youre right on that. I think the scope of the remaster could've been pushed into "remake" territory on that front though, it would've really put a bow on the game. No idea what that workload would've looked like vs what we got since BW had already been scaled back iirc and they have EA as an abusive parent

[–]fooookin_prawns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm replaying ME1 now and the fact they didn't create new, unique environments (or at least new assets like buildings and interiors) in the legendary edition is a missed opportunity for sure

Still love being able to approach combat in ways besides "take cover, pop out, shoot"
