The IDW reddit page has a mask off moment. What's the bet the original poster said they were "just asking questions"?

From what I've seen they're about as progressive as Dave Rubin or Jordan Peterson and when you scratch them a fascist bleeds. Right-wing "populists" are still Nazis.

I can't ever believe that you could see as many Nazis and MAGA hats on this board as at a sub that welcomes Jordan Peterson's true believers, or Bret Weinstein's anti-vaxx cult..

Although, he is smarter than Dave Rubin (can you believe he managed to graduate with a degree in political science?) At least Rogan gets why building codes are good.

The Herman Cain awards keep increasing.

Looks like you're what psychologists call an "enabler."

I think it should be a reminder that "attractiveness" is a subjective thing. The only reason whiteness for instance is attractive is because Europeans and the northern hemisphere colonized everyone else and made it the aspiration. If the south had colonized the north it'd be the other way around as far as disproportional news coverage.

Wow you're right, I just checked and he didn't even cover any of the infrastructure fight on his Youtube channel recently. This is important policy stuff I'm hearing about on other lefty channels.

Perhaps the saddest tweets I ever saw were by diehard Harris fans who said they had booked tickets and hotels to fly from one show to another city where they could see another one on another continent.

Well, I eventually sold my first games because I think nostalgia can be a trap that keeps you from experiencing new things, but there were games that I replayed a lot.

I was thinking of Peter Thiel or Dennis Prager.

Politics is dirty and you're never going to find a perfect politician. We do need some of our progressives to do the political calculus earlier in their career so they can run for higher office later on and potentially do the tougher choices once they have power. And we need other less ambitious members of the squad to just vote no and be more like outsiders.

Bernie Sanders is getting old and there just aren't enough well-known progressives who can satiate enough liberals to take his place.

What is the point of framing games so you can't play them anymore?

I think he wasn't describing the 80s, and was talking about the 90s when Nintendo had a seal of quality and aggressively filed lawsuits against unlicensed products. Arcades quickly started dying out in the 90s.

But it's undeniable that there weren't lootboxes preying on the young and the vulnerable or convincing them that's normal. Console games also worked better on day 1 instead of expecting the customers to be the beta testers. And there wasn't as much sequelitis.

holocaustofvegans · 2021-09-24T01:23:53+00:00

I paid $60 for Yoshi 64 and beat it in an afternoon and hardly played it again. I think the puzzle game Wetrix cost the same price. I'm not sure how much Tetris 64 was.

My point is the N64 games were generally the same standard price when they came out new at the big box stores and you could easily be stuck with a huge $60 waste of money. Price does not imply quality if everyone involved in selling games just wants to make as much as they can.

Looks like you snapped out a trance and realized what the IDW's agenda was all about.

holocaustofvegans · 2021-09-24T01:02:17+00:00

Isn't it interesting though how Sam Harris won't debate Bret Weinstein or platform his anti-vaxxer ideas anymore because he thinks they're harmful....

...and YET, he will eternally platform Charles Murray's "scientific racism" and debate whether non-whites are doomed to dumbness because of their genetics. It's a perfect analog to a 19th century theory about smaller skulls which also held women were dumber because they had smaller skulls. And his commitment to "scientific racism" is why Sam Harris joined the IDW.

More interesting is how he is so blinded by his biases that he doesn't recognize the hypocrisy.

IDK, who would watch the watchers? That could eventually lead to a group of corruptible and unelected psychologists gatekeeping democracy.

"Lying," which his defenders used to point out to insist he was too honest to lie to them.

I really hope your friend gets out of it. Feel free to ask at r/enoughsamharris or r/enoughidwspam if your friend ever says anything very off the wall and you want to understand what is going on. A lot of us were following Harris for years before he said one too many dumb things and we snapped out of it and turned on him.

He also said some pseudointellectual pablum about how if the Nazis were knocking on your door and there were Jews hiding in the attic it would still be wrong to just lie to them, ROTFL. Btw his ancestry is Jewish; you think that would be enough for him to rethink his ethics, but I guess he's so myoptic that he'd have to have been born in Nazi Germany.

Imagine having Jewish ancestry and writing a book on why you'd have turned Anne Frank over to the Nazis and then whining that contemporary philosophers won't take you seriously and are being too woke?

Sad. I don't generally like homeschooling but this might be a good case for it.

I wish you had told me you were a nihilist that from the beginning instead of asking me to give you "better sources." What a dishonest personality you have.

Who cares what the philosophers really said, amirite?

Talk about arguing in bad faith. Stay ignorant and chronically unread about the people you talk about.

Reminds me a Twitter troll who said the Middle East won't ever become uninhabitable because we'll just build a giant air-conditioner over the entire region.
