Where the fuck we gonna put all the waste product?

In the air, so everyone everywhere is interacting with it on a daily basis.

Oh wait, that’s what we do with waste from all the other power plants.

A waste product that can put on a specific spot is easier to deal with than a waste product that can’t.

It’s more of a “This is all we had” than it is “people used to have more patience”. Looks at all the MMOs that are non-stop digital chores that people have the patience for.

I would be surprised if many younger people in this era would have the patience to make it to the bottom row of this graphic.

That’s not a patience issue, that’s a design issue that has been eliminated in modern games.

There’s no reason to delay progress by making players repeatedly play through several trivial fights before getting back to where they are having a challenge. It was done in the NES era because they were operating under the philosophy that “the longer it takes to beat the game = the more hours of gameplay in it.” It didn’t matter if most of those gameplay hours were trivial digital chores like stomping Glass Joe yet again.

This reminds me: I need to change my default search engine.

“anyone who disagrees with me is a racist!”

Good talk. Engaging with you is definitely worth while…

It’s the trolley problem with a single track: you can pull the lever and the trolley will run over 5 people before it stops, or you can not pull the lever and the trolley will run over 10 people.

If you’re standing beside the lever with your arms crossed refusing to pull it, saying “the fault is on the person who tied the people to the track. Getting involved makes me complacent.” Then yes, people are going to blame you because even if you didn’t cause the problem there is something very easy you can do to make it less bad.
You can’t save all 10, but you can save 5. So you do what you can, and then you also go after the guy who tied the people to the tracks.

I understand that the people protesting are doing something. This is the first time you’ve actually advocated for an action.

People are fully capable of both protesting and voting to keep someone worse from doing worse things. The fact that you don’t understand these basic things is truly phenomenal.

Considering I specifically suggested doing something is better than doing nothing, I’m going to go ahead and guess that listening to what other people are saying isn’t a strength of yours.

You mean the logic of “I’m not going to do anything and neither should anyone else”?

If your meme uses definitions of terms that are different from what people generally understand when hearing those terms, then it’s not a good meme.

If your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, you still do what you can to stop 100% Hitler. Less bad is less bad.

Nobody cares about your smug sense of superiority when 100% Hitler is in charge and you proudly announce “I did nothing to stop this, other than try to encourage other people to also do nothing to stop this.”

Sounds like Republicans to me.

Your actions are what matter

Not voting is also an action. And if your refusal to vote allows someone to take power that will not only continue the genocide, but also start more genocides, then you are complicit. No amount of hand wringing will change that.

Good to know. Thank you.

Can Mint read files from a Windows partition or is it a different filesystem?

I’m waiting until there’s a good sale on Hard drives to set up a dual-boot.

Scissors beats paper for no good reason. What does it do? Cut paper? Now I have twice as much paper!

They were down voted for treating hyperbole as a “gotch ya!” It doesn’t have to literally be twice the cost of the mortgage for the fact to stand that renting is more expensive than owning.

It’s not a “hive mind” thing, it’s a “missing the point” thing.

Their behavior isn’t in line with your brand of Christianity, it very much is in line with theirs. Just because you think you and your church are the only actual Christians doesn’t make that the case.

And here I thought we were making progress when you said

You can call them fake Christians if you want I guess

Don’t know why you’re suddenly walking that back.

If you really didn’t like them, you’d just denounce them, straight up.

In what way is “They’re not Christians” not a denouncement, straight up? It is literally, directly saying, “How they behave does not reflect what I understand Christianity to be in any way.” How can a Christians denounce their behaviour more than by saying “I don’t consider them to be Christian”?

Denounce: verb
publicly declare to be wrong or evil.

Publicly saying “They call themselves Christians and they are wrong” is the dictionary definition of denouncement.

You’re both Christian, this is a fact that you can’t weasel your way out of no matter how badly you wish you could.

What is the definition of Christian? If it’s “anyone who claims to be Christian” then the definition is so broad as to be completely meaningless. “You’re both Christian” is just as relevant as saying “your both American.” So unless every American is responsible for the shitty behaviour of any other American, it makes no sense for every person who calls themselves a Christian to be responsible for the shitty behaviour of anyone else who calls themselves a Christian.

People are literally publicly saying “I do not agree with any of their beliefs or behaviours”, what more would you have them say?

You can call them fake Christians if you want I guess

Okay, so we agree that if someone says “This behaviour is not in line with the teaching of Christianity” then someone responding with just the words “No True Scotsman” is stupid, useless, and contrary to the point?

you trying to cut them off from yourself like that just makes me think you’re a lot closer to them than you’re letting on

“You trying to say your beliefs are not they same as their beliefs makes me think… you have the same beliefs”? How does that logic hold up? Someone directly saying “They are not representative of what I believe” means they ARE representative somehow?

I can hardly think of any times I’ve seen Muslims deny that the Taliban are real Muslims

Here you go: https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/16hpv7s/comment/k0h6q7z/

or Jews deny that zionists are real Jews

Here you go: https://www.reddit.com/r/Judaism/comments/18j3yfz/not_a_real_jew/

Okay: there are shitty Christians.

Now what? Do I now have permission to call out their shitty behaviour and not somehow be responsible for it myself?
