Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I'm laughing because I predicted this just a little while ago -- a good chunk of the fediverse is completely radioactive to the corpos. None of us need to defederate from them because they're never going to federate with us.

If you played doom on a 386 or even a low end 486 it was pretty shite, and duke 3d on a 486 was pretty bad as well. Quake on a 486 with a 487 was really bad, but it wasn't like there was anything good at the time. It wasn't until the Pentium that things started to actually run well.

Merry Christmas everyone on the fediverse.

To all the folks I agreed with and disagreed with, the people who agreed with me and disagreed with me, my fediverse frens made the internet fun this year.

I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year irl.

"they're your damn kids. Tell them Santa isn't real if You want. While you're at it though, can you put a little asterisk at the end of 'nobody ever helped me' and mention all the families paying over 50% of their income in taxes to pay for all those social programs you use, not to mention all the trillions and dollars in debt that your kids generations are going to have to pay for that you took out on their behalf."

Oh geez now that you mentioned it I'm believing in the power of Santa!

I'm really curious what power costs in France this year vs. Germany. That matters a lot.

Tbh, you could just do the front part and it'd work just fine. Shoe cleats for winter are often a lot smaller than you'd think.

I love this guy's videos. Yeah d20 nerdy blahblah, but seeing the process of cutting and grinding gemstones of different kinds is extraordinary.

The first season of Star Trek the next generation had its head up its own ass, but eventually it seems like the writers learned that they had to exercise some humility. Eventually that led to the extreme point where in DS9 the whole concept of utopia was heavily under attack.

I don't want to kill anyone in self defense if I can help it. I don't own a gun for that purpose (or any purpose, actually)

This may surprise you, but I haven't killed a single person in my entire life. (I know, pretty impressive, you can touch my bicep if you'd like, it's kinda squishy)

Generally it's more effective to stay out of dangerous situations than to be always ready to kill.

Now, you might continue asking questions about different scenarios, and try to back me into a wall where there is no choice but to engage in lethal Force, but as I wrote in the graysonian ethic, "There are often times where your code of conduct is going to conflict internally." And so in real life you "shall always have a situations where the code itself isn't enough and individuals have to use their brain" the trouble with an ideal is that it is ideal and we aren't always going to achieve that ideal. Ideally you would never want to employ any type of violence under any circumstances, but on the other hand ideally you're also going to want to stay safe and sometimes these two ideals are going to be at odds.

Always a good day when a new mentiswave comes out.

My mom's a big star trek fan, so when I was over at her house we watched some of one of the new star treks.

One of the storylines was obviously about the evils of organized religion. It struck me as a storyline about 40 years too late. That horse ain't just dead, it's a pile of sun bleached bones at this point.

I don't support it, but it's going to happen.

Idiots opened pandora's box and they're surprised to see that there were bad things inside. It's a retard arms race now, and I don't know where it ends.

I've been watching Axe Cop. I don't understand how this didn't break out to be huge. It seems like exactly the sort of thing that should have broken out.

I don't listen to serial liars after they've been caught in a bunch of lies, so the ccpbc won't be getting me eyeballs and hopefully in a couple years they won't be getting my tax dollars either.

Unleashing the full power unmitigated power of my tachycardia!

The ccpbc I'm sure says he's totally wrong and we need to double the debt again and hand it to Trudeau's BFFs and maybe we'll be started the paperwork required to start considering building some new houses (and maybe a couple more doublings and we can build some of those water treatment plants he promised)

I mean... I'm against all kinds of killing other people. Don't like wars, MAID is scary because in Canada at least it's changing from a choice to a push, duels arent really a thing, I'm not a fan of murder...

Death penalty too. I'm against killing the world's worst criminals even if I'd like it if some of them were dead because there's a difference between someone being dead and killing them...

I mean, I have a life and a job so it isn't like I actively protest any of these things or abortion, it's just personal opinions I have....

Big space games peaked in the 90s with frontier elite 2 and frontier first encounters. Everything since has been a massive stop down.

That's absurd.....

How many of us do you think own suits?

I've been telling people for years now that online dating is like the light from poltergeist, nobody believes me!

Online dating sites in any capacity are fantastic way to feel like absolute garbage if you're a man. Lots of really good guys would go on there and walk away thinking that they're completely worthless.
