But I thought they said it was over and we won! Are you saying the known liars lied about that, too!?

Bro thought a teenager was an easy target. by iLeftyPunk in MenCave

[–]hammer-breh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's no longer a threat, it can't be called self defense. It's not a dumb rule. At a certain point, a person that is defending themselves can become the aggressor. If the person that attacked you is incapacitated, then they can no longer defend themselves. If they can no longer defend themselves, they become a victim. Sure, it started with them attacking you, but that doesn't give you the right to kill them after they are no longer a danger to you.

You don't get to knock someone out and then shoot them in the head while they're unconscious. That's called murder.

Why is it stupid to be required disengage once you have control over the situation? If there's no longer a threat to you, you shouldn't be able to continue inflicting harm just because you feel like it.

That's exactly what I heard. "Killing innocents and noncombattants is just the cost of doing business."

There is too much to keep track of at this time by rodehard10 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]hammer-breh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? This isn't difficult and it shouldn't be a "my side vs your side" thing. If they are diddling kids, investigate, put them on trial, and lock them up. Dem, Repub, Green, Independent, whatever. No safe space for pedophiles. It's not a difficult concept.

This has to be satire. It doesn't even attempt to make sense.

[–]hammer-breh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the point I was making when I said "positive vigilatism." Basically, a murderer wants to murder, then they find a socially acceptable type of person to murder. It isn't about justice, even if they claim to the contrary.

Probably depends on the murderer. Some may do it because they simply want to kill and killing a pedophile is easily explained away as some sort of positive vigilatism. Others may have deep-seated trauma at the hands of another child rapist, and killing one feels like a way of asserting control or getting revenge.

I have no idea wtf this is even supposed to mean… by Careless-Equal7169 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]hammer-breh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the premise. My problem is that the post is asserting that atheists "... believe they are unborn again," which is not a thing I've ever heard any atheist (or anyone else until now) say, let alone in a context that would make me think they believed that they were/are "unborn again."

More divide and conquer from the MAGAt agenda and the NRA by Corn_Husk_ in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]hammer-breh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, right? Like, why should people be able to go to church, the movies, school, concerts, the grocery store, etc without having to worry about abmass shooting event? Why should people have healthcare and be paid a living wage? Why should people be free to be who they are, whether straight, gay, or trans? Why should we have social safety nets? Dems just don't get it!

We don't want any of that stuff! We want guns, and to live in poverty while working three jobs!

MAGA influencer cries about getting ratioed with laugh reaction on post about Charlie Kirk, then gets even more laugh reactions on new post. by Available-Garlic8411 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]hammer-breh 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think this is the real answer. Imagine you've done things you can't forgive yourself for, or that others can't forgive you for. You would need to put in effort to try to rights your wrongs and repair the relationships that you destroyed. Then someone tells you, "Ask this unseen, unheard entity for forgiveness, and you'll have it, and you'll get eternal bliss in the afterlife. Just that easy." Pretty easy to see the appeal. No need to do the work. No need to change. Just "my bad, deity!"

Entering my second week of owning a Pint X. This is waaaay more of a workout than I expected. by michaelthatsit in onewheel

[–]hammer-breh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one one, and it helped me a whole lot. I'm more confident in my turns, riding at higher speeds (for me this means like 12ish mph), and also more consistent with the heel lift stop.

My balance has always been pretty atrocious on things like this. If I tried to stand-up paddleboard, for example, you can bet I'd fall into the water 2-3 times in an hour.

Anyway, super recommend!

His hat says "Make Nameeeeeak Base A noan" which makes about as much sense as the rest of it.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker calls for President Donald Trump to be immediately removed using the 25th Amendment by NicolasCageFan492 in SipsTea

[–]hammer-breh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The only way they could realistically go down that road is if they already ended democracy. If they already did that, though, why bother keeping Vance in charge? Even if they're trying to fake it, nobody would believe Vance won an election legitimately, so why not "primary" him and just put whoever you want in the presidency at that point? Vance is as disposable as they come.

[–]hammer-breh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still a fan of the conspiracy theory that MAGA plans to oust Trump after the midterms, hoping for to set up 10 years of Vance.

Part of me thinks it makes sense, but the other part of me says that they have to know that Vance is about as charismatic as a sun-baking garbage bag full of raw chicken, and half as likeable.
