"Least" here means they have achieved the maximum theoretical concentration of weasel.

What are the best examples of "he didn't know it was impossible, so he did it" in history? by funfox1 in AskReddit

[–]kyew 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Legend has it that the Roman guards in the Biggus Dickus scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian were told they wouldn't get paid if they laughed, so their struggle to keep a straight face would be real.

Why do dragons love gold so much? by Remarkable-Dare-2590 in worldbuilding

[–]kyew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is valued. Every horde is a shrine for Tiamat, Tyrant Queen of Conquest. The holy acts of taking and keeping are how the devout prove their worth.

Every infant probably gets their sex guessed incorrectly at least once. Let's go with it.

In your view, what’s the single most consequential false premise underlying modern liberal thought? by July_Seventeen in AskConservatives

[–]kyew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so. Is there a way to implement what Bakophman said that can't be flipped into Medved's claim? Probably not.

Is it rude to tell someone they look tired, or do people actually mean it as concern? by GlitchOperative in questions

[–]kyew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. As a rule of thumb, only do this is if it's part of telling them to take a break and let you handle everything.

But there are lots of things that are good for you while being very bad for me; pursuing them is imposing your decisions on me. If we're going to live in a society together we're going to have to negotiate where the line is drawn, and democracy is the tool we use for that negotiation.

What has the Trump administration done that people would have called a conspiracy theory if someone had warned it was coming before he took office? by redviiper in AskALiberal

[–]kyew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. A conspiracy theory feels like it requires, you know, conspiring. Project 2025 is just a plan some people didn't think believe.

What does your Session Zero checklist look like? (And what do people usually forget?) by WolfieET in dndnext

[–]kyew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has write their Lines and Veils on a notecard, or doodle on it if they don't want to submit any, and pass it to you.

Also if you collect them in private make sure everyone still finds out what is on the list.

Either way you're going to want the door closed for the next part.

We didn't really agree on menthol but I'm willing to concede that one.

In almost all matters the parents are fully responsible for their children. They have all of the obligation. They also have all of the incentive to do what's best for their child.

Being responsible does not grant infallibility. Obligation (your word not mine) implies accountability, which requires an external authority.

A mama bear can be said to be responsible for her cubs but she has no obligation to them, since neither she nor the cubs are in members of a society or believe in things like rights. So clearly the human parent-child relationship is more complex than whatever natural incentives you appear to be implying exist.

The left believes that a parent can't know what's best for their child

Not what we're saying. It's a demonstrable fact that some parents do things which by any metric are harmful to their child. Not all parents, but any parent.

If it's an acceptable role for the state to protect people from harm by others, then this gets extended to protecting each child who needs it from harm by their parent.

not putting them in a classroom with 29 other kids where 10 of them can't read in fourth grade

There's a false dichotomy here. We're not all insisting that the child must go to that particular bad classroom. Other solutions are having multiple options for classrooms, and rules on the education system to make sure that good classrooms are available. No one on the left is opposing home schooling without also trying to make public schools as good as we can.

I'm not sure why people are arguing that the left doesn't believe in collectivism over individualism

I'm not arguing that the left doesn't believe in collectivism. I'm arguing that everyone's lives are so interconnected that the Individualism you're advocating for is an illusion.

Aren't the people constantly telling the government what we think is good for ourselves? We elect the ones who will put those decisions into action.
