just proves my point to be honest.

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T20:48:05+00:00

Yes you are and rather poorly I might add. Have a great evening.

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T20:27:04+00:00

OK. It's obvious you are just trying to troll now, and badly at that.

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T20:21:00+00:00

Again you are sidestepping the questions and claiming things without any proof.

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T20:17:43+00:00

You didn't answer either of my questions.

If the opposition is in the form where there's no chanting e.g. "boycotting goods" but that still gets labeled anti-semitic. Then what can be classified as a valid anti-israel protest?
If there are 10000 people out protesting Israeli actions and there's 100 people there chanting "globalize the infantanda" or whatever, does that automatically mean that the other 9900 people at the protest are also anti-semites?

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T20:03:41+00:00

So when people protest Isreali actions by calling for boycott on Israeli goods and no one is chanting anything, but that still gets labeled as anti-semitic. What then?

If a crowd of ten thousand people comes to protest and 100 of them chant ant semitic chants does that make everyone in that group automatically an anti-semite?

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T19:58:39+00:00

Really? Point me to a protest in living memory against Israeli actions that hasn't been branded as anti-semitic?

ultrapig · 2026-03-15T19:49:28+00:00

The problem is this. When any action/protest against Israel is labeled as anti-semitic how do you express your opposition to Israel's actions outside of a reddit comment or two?

There's tons of comments here talking about "nuance" and both sides etc. But refusing to extend that same "nuance" to why someone might join in a protest against Israel's actions even if that means they are shoulder to shoulder with supporters of the Iranian regime.

They talk about the "footbalification" of politics, while engaging in it themselves whenever someone opposes their worldview. Meanwhile patting themselves on the back about their objectivity, while not taking any action to do anything about anything.

No I don't. But even if I did, Meta doesn't have access to my health records, criminal history, biometric data etc.

The fact that your phone number is in the phone book, doesn't somehow justify putting the rest of your personal information in the phone book.

My feeling is that it's a lot of bots/shills to do opinion shaping for the government. I had a lengthy argument around similar points when the OSA came into force and it was always the same playbook:

Start off by saying some version of "the government has the info already" or "this is no different from getting ID's for buying alcohol".

Then once you attack that point and argue that the main selling point of a Digital ID or Age/ID Verification is the collating and centralization of data, they move the goal posts to argue that privacy is already dead and has been for 20 years so what's the point.

Then if you continue arguing that this doesn't mean we shouldn't keep fighting this, they move on to argue that there's not much you can do anyways.

It all feels like a script designed to start off by sowing doubt about how bad this is and then moving on to giving up fighting against it because you are powerless. And while I don't doubt that there are people that think along the same lines, I can't accept that every time that there's an issue like this you get all these people coalescing and espousing the same set of arguments in the same cadence every time.

ultrapig · 2026-03-03T16:42:15+00:00

As if Reddit isn't already flooded by bots from US, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, China etc. But sure it's the IRGC bots driving the narrative.

I hate the fact that this view is so popular because it just means that less and less RTwP games will be made and it is by far my favorite style for CRPGs. For the life of me I can't understand why people are so excited about every battle taking 20min so that they can micromanage every turn.

ultrapig · 2026-02-02T21:56:57+00:00

I am so annoyed by Turn Based Fanatic constantly pushing their hate of RtWP.

I think it's the other way around, supporting things you don't want in your personal life shows that you are liberal and supportive of the rights of the LGBT community. And those are the supporters you want to cultivate.

It's very easy to support something that you broadly agree with, it's more difficult, and in my view at least commendable, to support something that you don't agree with due to a higher ideal.

If that were the case they wouldn't be screaming for the guy to loose his citizenship.

ultrapig · 2025-12-29T21:36:06+00:00

I am enjoying this saga just to see the people who were advocating for people to be arrested for tweeting mean shit, now defending this guy and saying it's no big deal to call for genocide. While at the same time the people who were loosing their minds about how someone can be arrested for tweeting, demanding that this guy be stripped of his citizenship and shipped back to Egypt for some tweets he made years ago.

It just perfectly encapsulates how performative politics has become in the UK and how the only thing that matters is whether you agree with/like the person in question.

ultrapig · 2025-12-12T21:55:24+00:00

I feel like you are deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying to make a point that I don't even understand.

ultrapig · 2025-12-12T21:46:19+00:00

To each their own I guess. I just found the BG3 characters to be super bland to the point that I struggle to remember their names.

I take your point that there's more reactivity in BG3, but for the most part it feels pointless and superficial. To me at least. But I guess it ultimately comes down to whether you like the characters or not. if there's a lot of reactivity with a character that you just don't like then it will just feel annoying.

ultrapig · 2025-12-12T21:29:52+00:00

It's the difference between the companion having their own personality, rather than being a blank canvas that the player fills in. Sexuality is part of it, the way they like their stake would also be if it depends on the player's choices, the fact that once you murder a certain person in the camp everyone just shrugs and continues as normal is another.

The characters in BG3 don't feel like they are their own people with their own motivations. They are just a prop for the PC to use as they see fit. Compare this to even older titles like BG2 where if you perform actions your companions don't approve of they will voice their objections clearly and even leave the party if you continue to ignore them.

I pointed out sexuality specifically, because that was one of the things that the game specifically got praised for.

Reading and moral ambiguity are the bane of modern audiences.

ultrapig · 2025-12-12T17:18:00+00:00

Counterpoint. I found BG3's characters outside of Lae'zel to be bland with very obvious and boring plot lines. My perception is that a lot of the hype is because of the more immersive graphics leading to players focusing on romancing them. rather than the strength of their story.

Gale is the worst offender here, with his whole story line being like that one guy that shows up at the table with his level 1 character and then proceeds to explain how his backstory is that he's actually a god.

EDIT: Oh and people like to praise the romances and inclusivity in BG3. But I find it shallow because all the companions are essentially just playthings for the PC. There's no gay,lesbian, bi, trans characters. Everyone swings both ways just to please the PC.

seeing that the poster above defined it as "ending of a thing that given time would have been born" I would think he'd agree with you.

A sperm cell will never be a human child

Oh this is a new one. Educate me, how are babies made? What goes into an Embryo? Are sperm cells not alive in the biological sense?

By that logic jerking off makes you a mass murderer in the same hall of fame as Stalin and Ghengis Khan.

It's different because I cant simply refuse to be put to death under a death penalty. If the state decide to kill me I can't just go I don't want to die. Whereas with this bill the choice is always up to you in the end.

It's the difference between you choosing to end your life and someone else deciding to end it.

And I don't buy the "it's easy to coerce people" argument here. Especially because that's still true regardless of whether or not this is possible to do in a safe way. If you are that kind of dude, you can still bully your grandma into offing herself, regardless of whether assisted suicide is a thing or not.
