That's saying a grilled cheese wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have cheese. At that point it ain't a grilled cheese anymore so why even try to defend it in the first place? Just eat some god damn bread

Action; became cop. Is bad. Yup, all lights green here.

You don't see cops as the enforcement of capital with a side gig of solving crime. He does. Just because the show doesn't bother to dive into that aspect doesn't mean it's an invalid point especially if we are just talking about "goodness".

Here's a better way to put it. Light would view the FBI agents as good guys due to his general views of law enforcement in general so targeting them is light showing that what he thinks is good in the world is irrelevant to his choices.

Instead now we are arguing ideology because you don't understand perspective in literature. Womp womp and acab

Nah bro didn't you see his other reply? Words aren't graphic in any way ever. It's in the word. Graphic. There's no graphics in books, it don't have a graphics card!

I want you to Google "racist town Texas" and find my home towns wikipedia page. I didn't grow up in a liberal bubble, I very much understand their view points. They were mine for the majority of my life.

I am also a cis white man. I am not the one directly effected or endangered by those people. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't treat their fight as my own because theirs is a righteous one.

No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

In short. Maybe it is not me who is too sensitive, but you who is too insensitive. Perhaps you should spend less time thinking about how you should give passes to offenses in your life and more about the people you fail when you let their detractors say what they want unchallenged. Grow a spine. Stand for something.

You see, that's my point exactly. You wouldn't call someone a friend who wanted you dead. You might even not talk to that person. I know, what a shocker.

So when a person comes in, family, friend or acquaintance and starts talking about how he doesn't think trans people should exist, I ain't talking to him anymore. When some mothefucker comes in saying gay marriage shouldn't be legal, I ain't talking with that motherfucker no more.

Because you can't really talk to someone starting from the position of "you should not exist and your existence right now I find morally apprehensible". They are telling you they want you dead, gone, or in the closet. Whatever you choose.

My brother in Christ, drop the dumbassery for 5 seconds. How many friends of yours are racists against your race? How many friends you got that actively call for some part of your life that you have no control over to be made illegal? Cmon, how many you got? Mr "disagreement is good" should have a plethora of friends and family wishing you dead.

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (8 children)

Man, we can disagree on politics all day long. But I ain't spending my free time associating with a motherfucker who wants me and people I love dead, gone, out of sight.

I imagine none of your friends or associates actively call for your elimination from existence. How many Nazi friends you keep around?

Damn. Who told you legislation was a zero sum game?

You are responsible for the actions of people you vote for. You don't get to drop your vote and move on. If you regret it you apologize as if you yourself had done it.

 
 

We were streaming a lil "end of the year awards" and toast walked in. She is not supposed to be upstairs so ran the moment she saw we noticed her. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

 

I added the trait BUT STILL! Settled in Trout's Mistake Forest and on spawn there is a RANDOMLY GENERATED WILD MAN NAMED TROUT. He is in the colony now. You can come revel in his mistakes on stream as well. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

 

Heyo, For anyone who want's I am streaming the Generations II modpack on twitch. That's where the dino hat came from, a T-Rex attacked the colony and surprisingly no one died (it was injured after munching on some more advanced visitors)

So I want to say that I have tried to get into FFXIV many many times over a few years. I always got bounced off by how dense the dialogue is and how long it was taking to get anywhere and anything done. I would quit and come back in a few months to try again at my friends behest. The amount of times I've had to stop and google a new word the dialogue said. lol.

But I didn't want to start skipping dialogue and cutscenes and whatnot cause then what am I even playing for? So I took my time, played when I wanted and slowly made it through ARR over the course of 2 years.

And by god was it worth it. By the end I felt I really understood this world, and its people and politics. I started seeing callbacks, referencing previous quests that I had just almost forgot about. I cried when the thing that would be spoilers to talk about happened at the end of ARR. I have become attached to my grand companies and my city.

My wife plays too but they got socially anxious about all the dungeons so now they spend all their time in the golden saucer running fates. I love that they are around.

The community on Farie as well has been amazing. I have not a single bad experience. I play tank for the record and come from WoW so when I fucked up I expected straight vitriol. But never once did I ever experience any kinda toxicity whatsoever. One time I was fiddling with my settings before a dungeon labeled (hard) and accidently left battle effects on full. I load into the dungeon and my eyes glaze over with the amount of stuff flying around the screen so i ask the crew to stop and let me turn it down. They do but the healer immediately just leaves the party. The other two commiserated with me and stuck around waiting for the replacement rather than abandoning the party as well. And the new healer was cool! fun guy in the chat!

I just wanted to share this with yall. It's the best MMO experience I've ever had and I cant wait to actually be doing the MMO stuff I love like hard AF raids and endgame stuff. But i will not rush the expansions. I will continue taking it at the pace that i feel comfortable with and only hope i outpace the release of new content. I'll catch up eventually.

 

This was in Lemmy world politics.
