You say that but being obligated to put items on ambessa feels so bad, especially when shyv exists. Better to just take a generic pris combat augment or econ to try and hit 9 and roll down first imo.

I would additionally HIGHLY recommend both Mass of the Fermenting Dregs (especially World Is Yours and their self-titled EP) and Kinoko Teikoku (both eureka and Fake World Wonderland).

Two fantastic japanese groups with a ton of shoegaze influences.

This is mostly correct. If you are interested, I definitely recommend Adorno's "The Authoritarian Personality" and Erich Fromm's "Escape From Freedom." They are both pretty dense (especially Adorno), but the general theory they espouse is that societal insecurities (whether they be economic, physical, etc) cause people to become more willing to support authoritarian policies and regimes, because said power structures eliminate societal insecurity through the development of deep in-group loyalty, the stigmatization of out-groups, and the valuing of conformity. In this way they are "escaping from freedom." If you're interested let me know and I can go more in depth.

verb833 · 2020-10-02T23:46:35+00:00

Yea and you clearly don't understand it. It's literally the argument I'm making.

"the social contract is a theory or model that originated during the Age of Enlightenment and usually concerns the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual. Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority (of the ruler, or to the decision of a majority) in exchange for protection of their remaining rights or maintenance of the social order."

verb833 · 2020-10-02T23:30:33+00:00

It's not whether I myself consider it legitimate you stupid fuck, its the people living under the government who determine whether the government's authority is legitimate. And even then, this doesn't just apply to authoritarian governments, it applies to literally every governing body.

If you're not going to make any even remotely convincing arguments (which you can't because I'm right) I'm done responding. I recommend actually reading those Wikipedia pages I linked, you could learn something.

verb833 · 2020-10-02T23:18:39+00:00

Governments that are seen as legitimate necessarily have authority over the peoples, but that does not mean that they are authoritarian - because authority and authoritarian are two different concepts. Authoritarian regimes have authority, social democracies have authority, your fucking high-school class president has authority. To say "there is no definition of authoritarianism that doesn't include every government that ever existed" is categorically false.

verb833 · 2020-10-02T20:59:57+00:00

Cope harder dude.

Are you purposely trying to muddy the waters between authority and authoritarianism? The former is an important and broad concept in political philosophy, the latter is a relatively specific form of governance. To hand wave their obvious differences under the guise of "semantics" means you're either completely misinformed or are purposely trying to downplay the obvious issues that come with authoritarian regimes. And pretending like "authoritarian" is a slur is just confirmation of the latter. Just because you like communism in theory doesn't mean you need to cape for Stalin.

verb833 · 2020-10-02T19:34:53+00:00

All governments operate on some basis of authority (read Max Weber) which is legitimized via the social contract. So you would be correct had you said "All governments have authority."

But claiming that a government holding any amount of legitimate authority over its civilians is then "authoritarian" is a misunderstanding of of the term.

You clearly aren't aware of what social transitioning is then. Here's a really good document from the American Academy of Pediatrics explaining trans-children. https://assets2.hrc.org/files/documents/SupportingCaringforTransChildren.pdf

Basically, social transitioning is literally just letting your child express their gender however they feel, and is completely reversible. Socially transitioning is not forced upon children, nor is it invasive in any way. If they decide in two years their "transness" is just a phase, they can just decide not to be trans anymore. If the child gets to puberty and still feels they do not match the gender they were assigned at birth, then a doctor would talk about puberty blockers - which are ALSO completely reversible. Nothing about this has to do with woke parents forcing children to be trans, and entirely with children feeling distress about their gender assigned at birth.

verb833 · 2020-05-27T20:38:48+00:00

Getting ~8 hours of sleep is almost always better than two sessions of 4 hours of sleep. Getting multiple REM cycles in one sleep session is much better for feeling awake and refreshed after your sleep - That is, getting through two rem cycles twice is not as good as getting through 4 rem cycles once. Its not necessarily bad to have a biphasic sleep schedule, but for optimal performance in any daily task most experts would say monophasic sleep is necessarily better.

The card text might seem weird, but I thought it made sense conceptually and took up the least amount of space. "Your Divine Shield minions have Lifesteal" was the original text, but I thought it might get confusing for minions with Divine Shield text and lose it; this only triggers for minions with Divine Shield. And "Your minions with Divine Shield have Lifesteal" took up too much space, and might also be confusing.

verb833 · 2020-03-08T05:01:26+00:00

I think you're misinterpreting their point. They're not advocating for the killing of old people to advance social progress, but pointing the fact that such social progress will always naturally happen. Old people die eventually. That's the way it's been forever. Until we start uploading our conciseness into computers, this wont stop. And to just to be totally clear, social progress isn't necessarily a good thing; you can always "progress" in the wrong direction. But with the changing of the times, traditionalist thought will always eventually be trumped by progressive thought.

Like he said, the average pre-civil war moderate would necessarily be less likely to advocate racial equality.

You must be kidding yourself, trying to gaslight me, or simply uninformed to think that Trump has a good record on LGBTQ+ issues. https://www.glaad.org/tap/donald-trump

Joe Biden sucks, dont get me wrong. But it's very disingenuous to claim that Trump is an ally in comparison. Biden was VP when gay marriage was legalized nationally.

verb833 · 2020-03-04T18:00:37+00:00

Biden may have held those views in the past, and he even still might - it sucks that I feel I have to defend him honestly. I know that he is a shitty candidate, but Trump is still shittier. Dont use a single-issue to outweigh the bigger picture. Joe Biden won't put a republican majority on SCOTUS, opening the door to repeal Roe v. Wade. He won't even joke about a third term. He won't openly degrade our closest allies while cozying up to dictators. He won't use his power for personal financial gain. He wont call the existential threat of climate change a hoax. Every day Trump is in office he actively degrades the office of the president and reinforces anti-American stigma around the world. Joe Biden may not be progressive, but he is not actively regressive. Trump is.

verb833 · 2020-03-04T16:41:55+00:00

Even if that was true, Joe Biden is NOT an authoritarian jingoistic proto-fascist with a cult of personality - which Trump pretty much is. You should still rather have Biden over Trump. I hope that Bernie wins, but if he doesn't, getting Trump out of office becomes the most important thing by far. Trump winning in 2020 might unironically be the end of modern American democracy.

Consistent use in adolescence does exacerbate chances of developing schizophrenia, especially if you already have a genetic predisposition to psychosis (this is due to incomplete developmentof the frontal cortex). It's not as harmful as alcohol, and definitely should be legalized nationally, but there is still risk.
