Yeah, that’s because moral relativism is cool when you live in a free and decent society.

The irony is that you can afford to debate morality when society is moral and you’re not facing an onslaught of inhumanity in the form of fascism and unchecked greed that’s threatening any hope for a future.

But when shit hits the fan, morality becomes pretty fucking clear. And that’s what’s happening right now. Philosophical debates about morality are out the window when you’re facing an existential threat.

Canada should take them in.

Putin wins.

Jesus fuck… These fucking people are so fucking weak. It’s pathetic.

Grow some fucking balls. This was the moment to unite Europe and the free world with Ukraine, but these guys are so feckless.

How is a one-month truce gonna prove anything? You can’t trust anything Putin says or Trump. Get that into your fucking skulls.

It’s fucking incredible how people learn nothing from history.

These two idiots, Trump and Putin, only respond to strength, not this weak wishy-washy “let’s give it a month just to see” shit.

Europe and Canada should be having a field day recruiting disgruntled employees.

The brain-drain is going to be serious in the US in the coming years if there is no civil war or world war.

People are being bombarded with low quality information and disinformation.

They get their news from people like Joe Rogan, tik tok, Facebook, twitter, and their other stupid friends.

While the “good” people are trying to share quality information (truth), which takes time and effort, the “bad” people just straight up lie. So they can flood all these channels with their lies, and people just eat it up.

What’s astonishing is that the governments are just letting all this happen. Just letting these tech companies peddle all these lies without any pushback.

Only Brazil seems to be actually doing something about Twitter and Musk, for example. Why haven’t other countries cracked down on Musk? It’s baffling…

Have you tried an image search lately? It’s fucking terrible. It’s all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

This doesn’t eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It’s a moral standard. If moral people didn’t decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn’t exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

So Karl Popper was still right and society shouldn’t tolerate the intolerant.

What?? Are you saying a writer who writes about crazy shit is guilty of doing or wanting to do those crazy things?

If that’s what you’re saying, that is absolutely insane.

How sad would the world be if writers couldn’t put down whatever comes up in their minds. How boring and stilted every book would be if writers had to constantly worry about what people would think about their writing.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.

Seriously, all this crazyness with the US election has given me newfound sympathy for the people of Russia.

Americans literally have every respectable news source available to them, and they still get brainwashed by these buffoons because they only get their news from facebook, tiktok, fox news, and shit. They choose to be ignorant.

The Russian people at least have the excuse that they’re literally living under a dictator and are fed bullshit everywhere they look. They have to actively and at the risk of their security seek out valid sources for what’s actually happening.

Imagine if every news channel in the US was just Fox News. I guess we might not have to imagine it for much longer…

He’s kind of right, though. The story originally broke on October 18, and look at the dates of the links from your news articles. It’s all end of November. So it took them over a month to get on it.

It should have been national news on every tv station as it happened, not a small article a month later. Especially since we have a 24-hour news cycle.

But why undertake this elaborate millinery? One study published in 2016 investigated this question by holding trials involving the caterpillars and their natural predators — spiders and stink bugs. The researchers found that attacks on larvae with a stack of headcases took more than 10 times longer than attacks on larvae that had had their stack removed. They found that the empty head capsules acted as a false target for predators and could also be used to deflect the piercing rostrum of a predator.

Nah, the loss is on stupid Americans. No matter her position on these issues, it should have been a landslide victory for anyone but Trump.

For decades, the Justice Department has dispersed election monitors across the country to observe procedures in polling sites and at places where ballots are counted. That was a power granted to the federal government under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices and sought to equalize voting access. After the U.S. Supreme Court gutted parts of the law years ago, the agency now must get permission from state and local jurisdictions to be present or get a court order.

The Post’s withheld endorsement was seen as another example of tech executives and billionaires preparing for a potential second Trump administration. Meta’s (META+0.38%) Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, and Google (GOOGL+0.58%) CEO Sundar Pichai have all reportedly spoken with Trump in recent weeks or months.

Fucking pathetic. Groveling at the feet of Trump.

Doesn’t matter. If you take those numbers, let’s say 4 out of 10 men are against abortion, so you put them in a pile.

Then you take 3 out of 10 women against abortion and you put them in the same pile.

So now you have a pile with 4 men and 3 women who are against abortion. Which would mean 4/7 people who are against abortion are men. Which is 57%. Not 79% at all.

Either way. What’s the source. Should always source your statistics.

Where did she get that number? Where’s the source?

Majorities of both men (61%) and women (64%) express support for legal abortion.

38% of men are against abortion, and 33% of women are against.

The numbers are pretty similar.
