  • I assume they are frustrated and they’re talking about how a good heroic outcome has sinister alternatives at every fork in the road. Different people react differently and the people who heroically soldier on are not simply saving the day, they are like an extension of dangerous policy. They’re never going to talk to the controller so it’s more general I think. Like “don’t be a hero, don’t be like this guy, if your bosses create a deadly environment then walk away”

    Edit: I can be hypocritical and an asshole so if I say try assuming people are correct, might want to just ignore me.


  • I’m not saying it’s untrue, I’m saying it’s kind of anemic. In the past we’ve had presidents with more significant margins. Obama was popular and he hit 8%. We generally have notable margins and that’s when we talk up the popular vote. Don’t you think it’s funny to juxtapose “Trump won the popular vote. (at 1.5%)” with your memory / knowledge of history?

    One thing that makes it look good is that post 9/11 Bush barely hit ~3%. Making Trump about half as popular as a president rallying behind a national tragedy.


  • Israel has the means to discover and expose evidence. Israel has the need for positive PR. But Israel consistently does not provide satisfactory evidence for their actions. Best case, they only have “reasonable” suspicion from a military standpoint. At best they think they should be blowing up hospitals for reasons, but know people won’t accept the collection of evidence they have, and so this is what happens.

    To rephrase for lemmings: Israel bad. Israel want evidence. Israel can get evidence. But Israel no provide evidence. Probably because there’s no evidence.








  • When I was homeless I littered in the city. Being homeless around poor people is like being poor around billionaires. You have no pride in keeping their lands pristine. The upper class hits you with their cars, block crosswalks, talk shit about you, provide no accommodations. The upper class acts like it’s a fucking pain to help you and they attribute every little problem to your class.

    But also, the city installs trash cans spaced 15-20 minutes apart, while allowing garbage piles to stay on corners for days or weeks.

    I think it was probably the third or fourth time a poor person nearly hit me and reacted angrily like I fucked up for using a crosswalk at 6am, that I went from keeping trash in my pockets and thinking ones actions reflects on them, to throwing trash on the ground and denting cars when they narrowly avoided hitting me. (As an aside, it sucks when you kick their side mirror and it just folds instead of breaking.)

    And those clouds, being too thin to reflect sunlight but able to trap heat, form a kind of blanket around earth, greatly contributing to global warming.

    If I understand it correctly, you could magic away the exhaust and have perfectly clean contrails, and they would still warm the planet.




  • Does your comment make sense as a response to my comment?

    I’m confused why the devs stuck their head in the jaws of a sue happy monster. I ask, “But what was the point? What did they plan to happen?”

    And you tell me Nintendo shouldn’t own mechanics? Like… I know that. I am so used to people misunderstanding me, that I specifically go back and add a huge banner saying “I agree with you.” I can call Nintendo assholes, call copyright broken, paint the devs as good but naive, and I still get “listen here, Nintendo is bad. Copyright is broken.”
