@UncleIroh @mutageno I have no disagreement here. Just look at how they placed the Captain Marvel movie in between Infinity War and Endgame, as well as having the teaser and advertising so heavy for that movie. That made it seem like it was super important to see just before Endgame.

And... it was barely relevant at all. Captain Marvel barely did anything in Endgame. In fact, if she was written out of it, nothing of value would be lost.

I am aware there were rewrites of Endgame.

"Hurr, hurr, you are not a horse! Don't take ivermectin!"

"Oh, we did not MANDATE people not take it, we just recommended not to! Please don't sue us! Also, the vaxx is still totally safe and effective! Make sure to get your booster!"

Fuck you FDA. Fuck you.

@mutageno I think it was inevitable that they would have people start losing interest after the Infinity War movies were done. It also really does not help that the quality of the content they are creating has declined as well, making things worse.

Not to mention Chadwick Boseman's death.

Yes, the state's monopoly on legalized violence is a major issue, and it is a real concern with the Cathedral looking to enslave us. So I will offer another example of punishment without the state. If a good portion of the population is armed, they can deal with the punishment more personally. A thief will understand that being shot is a real risk for his actions, even if he realizes it far too late. He will not later on reason that his stealing was wrong, so harsh punishment it is.

When it comes to punishments for crime, the same approach is necessary. Do you think the vast majority of thieves, robbers, murderers, or other criminals of these types have high intellectual capacity? I would say no. Therefore, punishment must cater to this level of intellect, because a prison sentence or in the most extreme cases, the death penalty, is the only thing these criminals will be able to grasp.

When it comes to Stefan Molyneux's philosophy that you should never spank your kids, he does have a blindspot: some people are simply incapable of having any morality past "if I do X I will get punished." Stefan may have been able to discipline his own daughter without spanking, but not all people are going to ever reach the intellect of being reasoned with. Punishment is the only thing they understand.

@Nou @bronze @WashedOutGundamPilot The shock value gets old very quickly, as I discovered in my college days with my friends. Besides, the creators turned out to be complete faggots by retracting cards (e.g. the trannie ones) in spite of the fact that they sold the game on being edgy and offensive.

Oh wait, they created the game during the Bush years, when being on the left was counter culture. But now they are the culture, so they have no edge. All that remains is faggotry.

Watching @Tfmonkey debate Destiny, and it reminded me of these Smuggies.

"No, you need to have a STUDY that concludes the exact information you claim is true! Using data you compiled and making logical inferences is not allowed!"

@WashedOutGundamPilot Yes, some people shouldn't have children at all. Fine. But there are many who indeed would want children but have been propagandized into thinking that they do not want them. These are the people who need to have self reflection (especially women, as they are more susceptible to propaganda). There are plenty of people in this grey zone who could be saved from a childless life. And many people (again, especially women) find out too late that they did want children after all.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Or we can work on the means to make people have a less selfish attitude. Many childless people can claim that they do not want children because of whatever excuses they can think of, but few will state that it is because they themselves do not want to inconvenience their lives in any way. That comes from a selfish attitude. Convince people to give up this attitude, and they may warm up to the idea of having children.

@mutageno 1 trillion? That is some bullshit. Sure, there are people who look for opportunities to get less money stolen from them, but I have a hard time believing they will get that much substantial money.

It's about control.

@LouisConde I am sure he had plenty of practice surpressing his gag reflex.

@Tfmonkey I know the daylight savings time change has happened now, but can you guess which president championed it? You only need one guess, because it is the very president who you already think is the worst. Just another thing to add to the lists of reasons he was terrible.

@Aether @DasSauerkraut Pretty sure all you have to do is change a letter on your driver's license, and BAM! You're a woman! Who cares if you have a beard, an Adam's apple, and an intact penis? A woman is whatever you want it to be, bigot!

@BigSkyRider Just think about how much propaganda they threw at people like us, only to still have us not take the mystery juice shot. It was not enough for them to put out their government ad campaigns and have the complicit media shill the vaxx, they wanted others to "organically" shill for the vaxx on their own. I did not know this, but I am not surprised.

But it was still not enough.

@Humpleupagus You just haven't embraced your inner Village People properly.

If the election in 2022 was stolen to any extent (pretty much yes), I will say it is far less obvious and overt compared to 2020. The usual suspects of Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, should be looked at critically, but even if the swing state races all went Republican, there still would not be enough to actually change things for the better. And it is not as if the Republicans are going to save this country.

And taking the House by a tiny majority is at best going to stall things.

@blitzdriver "Ackshully, climate change means there will be more extremes! So it will cause both droughts and flooding to happen more often. But when there are periods where there are not extreme weather conditions, we will just ignore that and still yammer on about climate change. And we will not talk about how extreme weather conditions still happened before there was any industrialization."

Remember when "climate change" used to be called global warming? I 'member.
