I hate when people “show you how to do it”, they’re always showing you the back of their hand, like that’s supposed to help.

How is this a personal weakness?

Wrong answers only, please.

That’s how I was taught to debate.

Unless your positions are mutually exclusive, it’s often possible for both parties to justify their position.

From my experience, the zero-sum I’m-right-you’re-wrong style of debate started when we started televising them. You may disagree, but I think debate was more productive when we weren’t incentivized to score points on each other.

If that’s Hegelian dialectics, then I prefer that to what you call debate.

It was half-facetious, but I think a lot of conservatives hear the word “empathy” and think of means this. (Watch the first 60 seconds and tell me you didn’t cringe.)

Empathize is a word. It means" to feel or experience empathy", or “to be understanding of”.

When I say Charlie Kirk was arguing in bad faith, I’m saying he’s he was pretending only the first definition exists and that it sounds like the Jubilee video, when most people use the second definition in real life.

…okay. I’m blocking you now, so I’m literally not including you anymore.

Did you stop reading after the first sentence?

On the one hand, I think everyone hates that person who pulls the “I’m an empath” card.

On the other hand, “empathy isn’t real” is a bad faith attack on the concept of trying to emphasize or even understand people that are different from you.

That’s what I got from every Charlie Kirk debate I ever saw: a machine gun of bad faith counterarguments.

Debate is about understanding where the other person is coming from, identifying weaknesses in each other’s position, and working towards shared truths.

Since he couldn’t empathize, Charlie couldn’t debate. So he went with the modern debate strategy: I only win when someone else is losing.

It only counts if they’re unpopular, ugly, and wearing an armband identifying themselves as Nazis.

I would never draw petite breasts on a silhouette of a “woman” unless my art game was Rebecca-from-Cyberpunk-2077 good.

The word “devout” in this context threw me so hard.

I like the version “Take all women seriously” over “Believe all women”.

It addresses both problems - some women false report, but if you take all of them seriously, nobody (theoretically) gets away with committing a crime.

I guess it’s not as catchy, though.

Unfortunately, if enough people vote for no president (by not voting), what they’ll get isn’t no president, it’s Trump.

Lieutenant Dan!

This one just seems mean-spirited.

Someone call Sir Bravas!

Not RSS, since I don’t think Webtoon actually lets you read via RSS (it’ll post updates, but you still have go to Webtoon to actually read the comic).

I use one of Tachiyomi forks instead.

What’s going on with the guy with a plaid shirt and baseball cap?

I was whooshed by your comment until I checked what comm I was in.

Thanks Obama Biden all those people who won’t stop asking for the Epstein files.
