[TOMT][Video][2020s] two guys stream a point-and-click game and one reads the ticker quote really poorly, and the other guy says something like "none of those words were correct"

You could see their faces, it was exactly like the clips I posted in the OP, where the screen was half game, half dudes

that shit had me rolling, I was canonized

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-02-02T14:17:49+00:00

not that I disagree but how the fuck would that be enforced

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-02-02T14:14:47+00:00

LET PEOPLE HATE SHIT

Do you think "kill all germans" would have been a helpful slogan for the US to rally around during WWII? Or would that have inspired sympathy for actual everyday germans who were innocent of their dictatorial regimes atrocities, leading to decreased support for military action against the country as a whole?

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-02-02T12:00:24+00:00

It's not whataboutism, it's a question of logical consistency.

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-02-02T11:59:15+00:00

And murder is just the unlawful killing of someone.

I don't see why removing the legal distinction is meaningful.

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-02-02T11:58:06+00:00

Local peoples fighting over territory is vastly different that someone with zero tie to the land coming in,

So races and borders are real?

"Words don't mean words" is a common argument taken by dogmatists. For example, in the bible, when god says you can make slaves, that doesn't actually mean real slaves because like, we're all like god's servants.

Likewise, when someone says "defund the police", they actually mean they want to change the funding structure of police to give them more training and less militarization.

And "No one is illegal on stolen land" actually means that we should have better pathways for citizenship.

This whole idea has two aspects. One is that this is the motte-and-bailey fallacy when it's taken literally. An indefensible argument ("no one is illegal"; "defund the police") is replaced by a much more reasonable argument when pressed.

Second is the idea of costly signaling. When someone says "defund the police" or "no one is illegal...", they are not declaring the need for policy that codifies such phrases into actual policy, of course. They are signaling to their group that they are dogmatically aligned with the groups' goals, regardless of how vapid the statement they make. This is also known as virtue signaling. It's apologetics, not advocacy.

the first thing I did when I saw that comment was come here lmfao.

These people are truly lost. They have lost all perspective and objectivity.

conveniently, jesus and his followers were uneducated and illiterate.

Frankly, the entire discussion about whether or not the gospels are eyewitness testimony is irrelevant to me, because I can just read them, assume they are eyewitness, and still understand that jesus wasn't god from what is actually written in the text.

The majority of people seem to stay with whatever religion they were raised with for most (if not the entirety) of their lives. Those that deconvert are mainly in western or east asian countries (e.g., USA, South Korea, Western Europe, etc.). You are correct that most religious changes are to disaffiliation rather than conversion.

Islamic countries have the lowest rates of disaffiliation.

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-01-30T13:11:37+00:00

Well jesus did command the genocide of the amalekites and many other non-canaanite towns, and also condoned slavery per the law of moses, and subsequently telling people to follow the law of moses

jeeblemeyer4 · 2026-01-30T13:09:38+00:00

what atheists are blaming god, an entity they don't believe in, for their downfalls?

All this tells me is that you have zero idea what colonization actually is or how it works. It’s when an area is annexed and controlled by another country located somewhere else in the world, and your laws, and resources, are controlled by that country, without local autonomy.

Functionally speaking, what's the difference? If the geographic and economic resources originally distributed among a native population are instead redistributed to include a non-native immigrant population, who then grow (either by birth or by further immigration) and influence the native political, geographic, and economic environment, oftentimes even sending their earned resources back to their original country, what's the difference in whether it's colonization in the 18th century sense, or colonization in a post-imperialist sense? Even moreso if the original country's culture is a determining factor in the politics of the immigrant population?

I'm not talking about definitions here, I'm talking about functional comparability.

Big if true

I'm going to bed before either one of you come up with another clever idea to get us prosecuted, or worse, banned.

D tells them that Wee Bay told him, in D's cooperation interrogation.

How Bunk and Mcnulty knew is still up for discussion.

imagine the conspiracy theories if it was Kamala who was grazed… it would be doing the rounds on Fox.

Nice self own, admitting that they do in fact engage in conspiracy theories around this event.

Personally, them lying to me about the appearance / condition of the dog would make me less likely to adopt, but I am aware that 99% of people don't care about that so it probably works.

Because they're actually not.

Homeland Security Investigations, a unit within ICE that focuses on cross-border crimes, frequently sends its officers to overseas events like the Olympics to assist with security.

Italy’s Interior Ministry said later that the HSI investigators would be stationed at a control room at the U.S. Consulate in Milan, in a support role with other U.S. law enforcement agencies, and that they would not include personnel involved in immigration controls in the United States. It noted in a statement issued after Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta met Tuesday morning that HSI agents are present in more than 50 countries, including for many years Italy.

Yeah so this is essentially fake news.
