So we all agree there are exceptions to freedom of speech, like the proverbial person shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, right? But you think incitement to violence is fine as long as you say it with a tweet instead of with your mouth? What a loophole!
Please do bring facts. Then, cite your sources. You have sources, right?
... right?
I've got the daily low-dose version, and it's changed my life. True to expectation from a dissociative drug, it causes me not to feel so much personal identification with the unwanted thoughts that keep bubbling up in my head. It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.
Counterpoint: he's controversial because of what he says and does, not because of lies people tell about him.
Privacy Pass just randomly generated Prince Andrew and now my browser is all sweaty.
That comment was not referring to literal nazis. They were talking about the American right wing.
Huh, I had always heard it as "turbulent priest," but as I look it up, I realize there would obviously be multiple valid translations, cause Henry said it in French.
So your solution to depression about climate change is, "singlehandedly accomplish what all of the non-evil politicians have been trying and failing to do for decades, but do that while both powerless and depressed"?
You're absolutely right: dismissing anything you don't want to hear as "propaganda bullshit" is a much easier way of having a discussion than participating.
He does this because - it may surprise you to hear, but it's true - America does not have a parliamentary system of government. Here, everybody left-of-nazi is forced to pretend like they are all members of the same party. If America's system de facto allowed for more than two parties, then the progressive party could actually choose whether or not to form a coalition with the centrists, conditional on policy concessions. Since we do not, the centrists offer is "we get what we want or else you get nazis." Then make the progressives out to be the bad guys if they call the bluff, which isn't a bluff, because the centrists today genuinely would prefer 4 years of nazis over conceding anything to progressives.
So, exactly like the top level comment described. Weird take.
What game is this?
Aidan smash!
And this exact problem is a central theme of the superior Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Tell that to Jorah.
OK, stranger.
The question was, "How do you deal with depression about climate change?" Maybe voting in local elections does that for you (singular), but it may not work for you (general).
100mg of ketamine every day, half in the morning, half in the afternoon.
Well then it becomes a logistical question. How?
Already doing that. No change in material conditions, still depressed. Next idea?
I'm so dreadfully sorry. I cannot help myself. Please forgive me.
It's "zero kelvins" not "zero degrees Kelvin."
Ah, of course. America's communist party should be trying to form a coalition government in Parliament this year. Literally equivalent.
It may not have been a weird take in the early 20th century. It's a weird take now.
I don't care if it's not correct - I use "theirself" and "theirselves." It jibes with "yourself," "myself," and "herself."
"Himself" is a frustrating outlier, but I do know at least one person who says "hisself," and that's enough precedent for me.
I look forward to pirating this shortly after release day and getting the game plus all future DLC for free.
