it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy

Lmao. Ever heard of AIPAC?

It’s called the social contract. If you won’t abide by the agreed upon terms, I can’t be expected to either.

Extremist members of every religion have gone on holy wars to exterminate non-believers at some point. Christians get the most attention because they were the most successful, but they’re by no means the only ones. Even if Christians didn’t exist, extremists of the next biggest group would step up to do the exact same thing.

Every major world religion is built on holy texts that advise people to love one another. Inevitably, extremists will (sometimes willfully) misinterpret these texts to lend justification to atrocities. This tendency belongs to humans, not religion. Religion is the means to the end, but it isn’t inherently harmful. Just as knives don’t stab people, religions don’t go on crusades; people do.

I really hope you understand why. That “data” you’re referring to is adults having sex with children. “Research” in this context involves adults allowing other adults to have sex with children so we can ask them questions about it.

At best, I imagine it would be like being addicted to cigarettes but only having a fruity vape. Yeah, it’ll get the monkey of your back, but it isn’t truly satisfying, and the second you can have what you really want, you’re going for it.

The difference is, a smoker can quit, but a pedophile will always be a pedophile.

it also enables the core behaviour of sexualising children to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a drawing”.

By your logic, people shouldn’t play Call of Duty either because it enables the core behavior of shooting people with guns to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a video game”.

By your logic, any movie or book depicting any illegal act shouldn’t exist because it would “enable the core behavior to be socially acceptable”.

Sorry, that one doesn’t hold water for me.

Never, the less, she farted.

Not an unpopular opinion, just gatekeeping.

Good.

For anyone thinking of buying the original PC versions of Black Ops 1, 2, or 3 to play online because of this, DON’T. Whether it’s zombies or multiplayer, the vanilla PC games are vulnerable to remote arbitrary code execution exploits that allow anyone in the game you’re playing to run any code they want on your computer.

If you absolutely must play these games online, go download Plutonium and play that way to protect yourself.

I’ve seen it go both ways. Some reveal feelings they also had. Some are creeped out and let it put a whole different perspective on your whole history together. If you decide to tell them, start by saying that your feelings are in the past and that you don’t expect anything to happen, you just felt you needed to share.

Disagree. I understand american and european football perfectly and don’t enjoy either.

He wasn’t jailed. He wasn’t abroad. He wasn’t captive. He wasn’t injured. He was as comfortable as anyone else old and dying could hope to be. He was surely more comfortable than countless others he negatively affected throughout his life.

I don’t like it either, but sometimes good things do happen to bad people. Sometimes bad guys get away with being bad guys and end up dying about the same as anyone else because karma isn’t real.

Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. Politics is the means by which capitalist policies and systems are created and maintained.

The US political system could just as easily create and enforce (more) socialist systems and policies, but it doesn’t because it’s been captured by corporate and foreign interests.

This wouldn’t work. Tournament rules may allow multi-language decks, but if a player can’t read the language printed, they also allow that player to call a judge over and ask for the oracle text with no penalty.

The man died comfortable, surrounded by wealth and loved ones, never once having to answer for his crimes. That’s not karma.

Unless you suck. In which case, listen to the people who tell you to do better.

Non stick pans aren’t magic. They all require PMCS. There’s nothing wrong with the pans, just take better care of them.

“AI isn’t bad, it’s the people who dislike that are the problem!”

LMAO.
