  • US defaultism detected on Lemmic soil, lethal force engaged.

    I find diplomacy hard when one side has been going for complete annihilation of Palestinians, which is only a logical continuation of a 3/4 century long conflict.

    And that one side includes almost every governemnt, including the Palestinian “governemnt”.

    But sure, diplomacy’s great, if they stopped attacking tommorow, retreated, and said they want to negotiate, and somehow had sufficient evidence to prove that it isn’t a trick, and that they reflected and regretted half a century of genocide in 1 day, I would advocate for their diplomatic attempt.

    Random rant of the day: A few months ago I read an article that said: “after Hamas killed thousands of civilians on the 6th of October”; at the time Israel was doing its thing for at least a week and their ‘reported’ kill count wasn’t even a thousand yet, I hate these liars.


  • Ok, I see your point.

    How about sending trained soldiers and cooperating with Hamas?

    Or more easily, stopping trade with Israel?

    Or more easily and more profitably, stopping weapon donations to Israel at the very least?

    I am not speaking to you personally, but if people stop talking about things they become forgotten, so here I am speaking.








  • I understand you, but I felt deep emotion seeing a 640x480 scene of a sprite (kidnapped female slave) punching another sprite and using some edgy language. Yes, it did require me to stop for a minute to imagine everything for it to hit this deep - which the game’s turn based mechanics helped me with.

    I also feel the less detailed something is, the more HORRIFYING and VIOLENT it appears, as it stimulates imagination much more than HD scenes in games and movies, where most of the times that won’t be able to create something more SHOCKING that what you imagined (The modern +13 goal in games and movies plays a role too, so there might be bias)

    There was a pirated TV channel that specialized - mostly - in horror movies, it had horrible audio and video quality - especially the bitrate, everything that appeared on the channel was horrifying, the lack of clearness induced a feeling similar to fearing the dark, the low bitrate in particular meant that you - the viewer - was practically blind in every fast scene, which dramatically increased the suspense.

    You might tell me to just go read a book if I want to use my imagination, and actually that’s a pretty nice suggestion.

    PS: the game in the first paragraph is the first Fallout if anyone’s wondering. I also barely heard of Ghost of Tsushima (or most modern games outside of FF7R)

    In the context of the post, 17 year olds are incapable of ‘Having and fulfilling adult responsibilities’ while 18s fully can, which doesn’t make sense biologically, therefore putting arbitrary age restrictions doesn’t make sense.

    You become an adult when you become an adult and your psyche will be able to deal with things when it becomes able, not when you live for 6570 days (18 years) or whatever.

    We don’t have evidence that that specific - and imaginary - 13 year old isn’t, maybe he isn’t fully ready, but he’s ready enough to deal with what he has to deal with. (remember people don’t go from being treated like kids to having a 9 to 5, I am not saying we should let him bear his responsibility fully, but I think many 13 year olds, depending on how they’re raised and genetics and climate and other factors, can have a part time job - at least, and do have the spirit of an adult, if not the the full set of abilities)

    Also it is for the better to keep everyone close to using most of their abilities, abundant free time will lead to psychological issues most of the time, burying your worries in work is mostly healthy and increases the quality of life.

    (That obviously dependents on WHAT you’re burying, but work is probably the cure)

    (Also I am not saying we should kick 13 year olds from school and encourage them to get jobs instead of education)

    I don’t expect many to agree, as my opinion is based on me not considering 13 and 14 Year olds children, what is really the difference between 16 - again, to be on the safe side - year olds and 18 year olds that give the latter that much more freedom?

    Also I despise pre marriage sex if that adds anything to the conversation.
