Older people on the right want everyone to make their own way and take action in their own lives instead of waiting for a handout, but collective action doesn’t count as action to them.

Trolly problems are stupid because they never exist in real life. Why are we programming cars to give up instead of continuing to try to calculate a solution? What hubris do you have to have to tell a car that your algorithm is so perfect that you know which paths lead to “certain death”?

You would actually be surprised. People can be petty assholes.

Obviously this is the Mandela Effect in action. He doesn’t remember her because she wasn’t there. Now they’ve changed it and he can’t prove it.

It looks like they freaked out and pushed the accelerator harder.

This is incredible!

You should specify “no modern presidential administration” because Andrew Johnson gave unconditional amnesty to all confederate soldiers, many of whom were enlisted at the time of secession and an enormous number of which committed treason.

Not technically true. Lincoln pardoned all kinds of military prisoners after the civil war, many of which were there for treason.

What counts as a war crime is complicated. For instance, in the collateral murder video, there was a delay of several seconds between the aircraft firing and the people being hit. That creates a situation where they have to decide of someone is a threat several seconds in advance and that can be pretty hairy. This is…

I’m in a similar place, but I still think the administration should have stepped in over TREATMENT at least.

Were you on the internet when Collateral Murder got released? It was huge. It was all anyone was talking about. It was a major top story.

You’ve got a really warped perspective of all of those other conversations you’re citing.

No. Full stop. That’s not remotely what happened here.

You’re a fucking idiot.

What you’re doing makes no sense. We’re a mile down in the greys. Nobody is going to read this. What are you even trying to do? Does this make you feel good? Are you just trolling me?

I’m not “defensive like a 10 year old”, I’m genuinely mystified at how someone who clearly thinks they’re an adult could think it’s appropriate to declare goddamned WAR over a single word in a post. Your behavior makes literally no sense. I can’t look away.

Battal is a comical misspelling intended to convey an attitude, not like, a word in its own right. And it turns out it isn’t actually used that way as much as I though it was, which is a shame, because I think it’s a pretty good use. Jesus fucking christ you’ve come after me with four posts now about something that…

So in another thread, I used a misspelling for effect in a way that I thought was common (battal instead of battle to demonstrate a kind of ridiculous internet enthusiasm). Turns out it’s actually not anything, so stre didn’t get it.

I seriously cannot even stop thinking about how fucking insane you are. I had to come back and post it again. It’s like the twilight zone. You’re talking about the “pedigree” of the way I used a misspelled word for effect and like I just don’t even get what you think you’re doing. It makes no sense. How are you a…
