It sure fucking feels that way sometimes. I had an argument with one of my parents the other day over the fact that she was completely incapable of understanding any distinction between a war and a genocide. “It’s war; they’re the enemy. You kill the enemy in war” - in direct response to me asking if she was okay with elementary schools being bombed.
Bizarre, surreal, and severely dejecting.
Perhaps being sane in an insane world is a type of insanity all it’s own.
Honestly, I’m a little surprised.
Normally people quote something like that when they’re trying to point out something damning or draw attention to something that’s internally inconsistent… Is that what you mean?
97% chance of whoring, 2% chance it’s platonic and they’re just really lonely and socially inept, 1% chance you get a ride in the TARDIS
The sanewashing I’ve seen is wild. People crawling out of the woodwork to yap about him being a martyr for dialogue. Saw someone say “we sent a messenger and they shot him”… Aside from the fact that we know nothing about the shooter or their motive, buddy: have you seen the ‘message’? Because, yikes. I don’t think he deserved being killed and i condemn such violence, but i must acknowledge that the world is a better place; that’s just how the cookie crumbles when you live life as a morally bankrupt promoter of abject evil.
M here but… It’s like not being a foot guy and consuming something with a lot of that fan service. You can still appreciate aspects of it but not really get the whole thing cuz it’s not for you. Same goes for every other image tag. Yaoi is just Yuri for people who like boys.
With that said, go watch love stage. Plenty to appreciate even for those not yaoi obsessed
I find it useful to crack jokes like that when in rough places; the half-kidding kind, even just to myself. It depends because everyone’s different. Never a bad idea to take a moment and question it occasionally though…
A new vulnerability in a TP-Link device? Oh no, it must be a day ending in Y
Could it be because they’re a zealous ethnostate in the midst waging a genocide? Or perhaps there’s some other minute nuance being overlooked… I guess we’ll never know. A mystery for the ages.
What a timeline…
TELL ME ABOUT GAY SEX DAMN IT! DESCRIBE IT TO ME IN VIVID DETAIL! LEAVE NOTHING OUT!
“Government is bad” *governs badly “SEE?”
…yeah. Every time.
Are there real concerns? Yes, some. Are there tons of misinformation campaigns actively trying to push anti-immigrant narratives and fake statistics to fearmonger and activate conservatives? Absolutely.
Behold: a fundamental social divide which has plagued humanity for millennia, in a nut shell.
I’ve always had weird issues with SMB like ghost files, issues with case sensitivity (zfs pool), it dropping out and me having to reboot to re-establish the connection… Since switching to Linux and using NFS, it’s been almost indistinguishable from a native drive for my casual use (including using a ssd pool as a steam library…)
Ah, that could be the case I guess. But it’s not that i had a feeling of inconsistency: it’s just that I could understand how someone may see “violence is unacceptable” followed by “but glad he’s dead” to be disingenuous or some form of hypocrisy without thinking much about it; wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve had such a discussion.
A shortcut to understanding would be: I’d feel the same way if he had been killed by terminal cancer. I hate cancer, and I’d rather we lived in a world without it, and I’d have empathy for him and those who know him. But such a person being gone would still tip the cosmic scales towards a less hateful and othering world. Doesn’t make it right, doesn’t mean he deserved it, doesn’t mean I’d cheer for cancer.
