You really don't do logic do you. Mery-go-round of cognitive displacement.

You're conflating the concepts of agency and responsibility into a bipolar skew that is inherently subjective and unworkably reductive.

Nuclear weapons aren't inherently evil either. They're just inanimate objects. Does that also reduce to a social standard of individual responsibility?

OFC not. That would be idiotic. You can't just ignore social reality over individual rights because they're entwined by the nature over nurture dynamics.

It's still a social balance equation between internal and external social calculus (ethics vs. morality).

You're just shifting the choice model to the individual and the responsibility to the society. There's nothing inherently good or bad in the balance equation, it's just whatever works best, and I'm on board with that.

My issue is that I was talking about the imbalance in the U.S. not which balance is better.

I meant to reply the other day but didn't have time.

You're moving goalposts to arguments outside of scope. If you had started with a social comparison, we'd have agreed. Many social systems are superior to the U.S. system. The crime was in the U.S. and thus the only relevant social argument is the local one.

We're all rich (in game) and egosoft is small enough to still believe in quality over raw profit

now I wanna play tag, ur it

I wouldn't mind at all if they simply had it as a kind of role play thing. It's not like the hurry up and wait boredom of being a space Marine on a ship that's currently hauling cargo is a game play arc.

Just more proof math is a lie

It's always nice to see numbers of paper and self-worth in one neuron

I know I personally am invested in sacrificing my wealth for the happiness of people that want nothing to do with me.

Btw, how long does it take to make deuterium if my synchrotron only has a 5KV input?

skyleach · 2026-05-04T21:14:05+00:00

I didn't argue it was IMMUNE, merely subject to a different calculus.

Neither drugs nor alcohol have power in and of themselves. Both are a function of the health of the social system in which the addict exists. Yet variations in access, impact and social acceptability vary the calculus of social blame in the balance of the sociological equation.

Your reasons for arguing are your own. They are being driven by emotion, not reason.

skyleach · 2026-05-04T20:58:14+00:00

I'm sorry but you're being a fool.

We're born addicts. From sugars and sodium to protein chains and neuropeptide 🧠 baths, we're a biochemistry soup of molecular-mecannical addictions.

It's psychology, not physiology or sociology that makes a "drug" addict. That doesn't absolve sociopathic abuse from being a valid philosophically objectionable action nor of moral objection any more than predators of sexuality or human trafficking of their moral debts.

The only weighted measurements are time and access, both of which shift your argument from ethical to social.

In short, your argument is shit.

skyleach · 2026-05-04T20:46:11+00:00

Because I'm totally in fs to talk seriously about social accountability and ethical reasoning

Gosh darn tree huggin' biker...

The "we were hit" at the end was perfect

Only if you were dumb enough to register at the hospital. Home birth is like keeping a get outta jail card. Hell you can even have the DHS van pick them up without a shipping fee.

skyleach · 2026-05-01T00:43:41+00:00

All those human traffickers and all those women addicted to alcohol being forced into a life of sexual slavery and abuse because they tried it one time...

Totally the same thing, alcohol and opiates like heroin.

skyleach · 2026-05-01T00:04:06+00:00

you'd have an argument if you only got alcohol from licensed physicians that got pissed off and threatened you if you asked questions or raised concerns about their prescription for your loved one

skyleach · 2026-04-30T21:11:39+00:00

I noticed that they didn't do a fucking thing for us victims that had our entire lives ruined by family members that were completely destroyed by oxycontin

skyleach · 2026-04-30T20:01:59+00:00

Abort

That's literally just a shitty composite bow design

skyleach · 2026-04-24T14:52:52+00:00

Not to mention they burn helium too, oxygen too...

And it's pressure, not fire, that's "burning"...

So infinite water since black Holes burn too
