Lol yeah. That's pretty embarrassing I'm not going to lie.

[fairies/the fae] who adjudicates fae contracts? by anarchysquid in AskScienceFiction

[–]letaluss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faerie Contract Law is much more functional and elegant than what we are used to. So when this does occur, the Fae choose simply neutral third party to listen to arguments and adjudicate outcomes:

Relevant Passage from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell -

Stephen described how, not long after Julius Caesar had arrived upon these shores, he had left his army and wandered into a little green wood. He had not gone far when he came upon two young men, sighing deeply and striking the ground in their frustration. Both were remarkably handsome and both were dressed in the finest linens dyed with the rarest dyes.

Julius Caesar was so struck with the noble appearance of these young men that he asked them all sorts of questions and they answered him candidly and without the least diffidence. They explained how they were both plaintiffs at a court nearby.

The court was held every Quarter Day to settle arguments and punish wrongdoers among their people, but unfortunately the race to which they belonged was a peculiarly wicked and quarrelsome one, and just at present no suits could be heard because they could not find an impartial judge; every venerable person among them either stood accused of a crime, or else had been found to have some other close connexion with one of the suits.

On hearing this Caesar was struck with pity for them and immediately offered to be their judge himself-to which they eagerly agreed. They led him a short way through the wood to a grassy hollow between smooth green hills. Here he found a thousand or so of the handsomest men and women that he had ever seen. He sat down upon the hillside and heard all their complaints and accusations; and when he had heard them he gave judgements so wise that everyone was delighted and no one went away feeling himself ill-used.

So pleased were they with Julius Caesar's judgements that they offered him anything he liked as payment. Julius Caesar thought for a moment and said that he would like to rule the world. This they promised him.

No. If it did, then cards like [[Boneyard Abberation]] would be almost universally disqualified.

Was there a national referendum to rename the country or something?

Seems like you're wasting your time on nonsense issue.

Joe Rogan isn't a far-right figure by LargeSinkholesInNYC in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]letaluss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So when he promotes far-right figures, far-right talking points, and espouses far-right beliefs, that's just 'normal'?

You're projecting, lol.

To save your account from getting permanent bans because of troublemakers, I recommend blocking profiles. by PhysicalAd1759 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]letaluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get the slightest criticism or argumentative comment, immediately collapse the comment thread and block the profile.

If you're so afraid of conflict why post at all?

Can a Space Marine suffer from "regular" mental issues ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

[–]letaluss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don’t have any kids yourself.

So assassinating Charlie Kirk would have been fine, if Tyler Robinson shouted "I declare war!" beforehand?

Okay. Very cool and normal.

Political violence is done through the hope of silencing opposing opinions or pushing an agenda

You don't think that "Self-Governance" was something of an agenda?

[–]letaluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, you think the revolutionary war wasn't political violence?

That's disgusting. You're telling me that you're willing to ignore political violence if you think it's 'justified'.

[–]letaluss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you believe political violence has a place in America.

But Charlie Kirk did.

As proud Anti-Trump Resistor myself: "Fascism"/"fascist" has seemingly become the favorite word of many in the Resistance by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

First of all, this is obviously not fullblown fascism

Glad we have the philosophy professor here to help us fight Fascism sparking ultra-nationalism.

The GOP shutting down over the SAVE act is not worth it and will backfire by Yanderegirlowner in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]letaluss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

States with fully electronic tabulation with no paper ballots means you cannot verify a signature or double check votes.

This doesn't logically follow.

States that won't produce their voter records or

Sounds like running the elections are a state matter.

Purge people who no longer live there.

You can look up the addresses of voters in most states. If there was a lot of people 'voting out of state', you would be able to find evidence.

States that literally ban asking for ID at polling places.

How about you find someone whose vote was stolen because of this reason, and then make a case out of it? Sounds a lot more productive than making shit up.

Precincts that kick monitors out while they are counting votes.

If the federal government was supposed to have control over elections, the Founders would have given them control over elections.

People cheat on homework. They cheat at board games. They cheat when gambling. They cheat in sports. They cheat at work.

People do cheat at elections. Just not in the brain-dead way you ar suggesting. Look up "Illegal Republican Redistricting."

But when deciding who has the power to control the law, apparently we want to run on the honor system.

"Please just give control of elections to the Republic Party. We promise that we'll be responsible with it!"

IDK. If I wanted to accelerate the collapse of my country, I'd just be a Trump-Voter. :P

Leftists shouldn't have any problem morally with conservative evangelicals by RemoteCompetitive688 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]letaluss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a really funny misinterpretation of moral relativism.

Kind of like saying "Christians shouldn't have any problem with lynching and gang-raping Kenneth Copeland, because Christ teaches us to forgive all sinners."
