In a kind of way? Our material conditions are a large factor in our development and decision making ability.
This almost gets into “do we even have free will?” territory which is a hell of a question.

Nazi dog whistles do not go on the fun numbers board.
- Comment on Don't think Gahan would mind a little edit. 2 weeks ago:
Not oddly shaped enough
- Comment on Truth in advertising 3 weeks ago:
Or it’s a Nazi dogwhistle disguised as a mistake. Hard to tell.
- Comment on Why do cops and soldiers get more media attention than the average citizen? 4 weeks ago:
Similar to why a “dog bites man” situation is unremarkable, unlike a “man bites dog”.
- Comment on I dunno 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s meant to play with your expectations. Normally someone’s take being posted is to show them being confidently stupid, otherwise it isn’t as interesting and doesn’t go viral.However, because we’re primed to view it from that lens, we feel crazy to think we’re doing the math correctly and getting the “wrong answer” from what we assume is the “confident dipshit”.
There’s layers beyond the superficial.

Exactly

Iconic scene where Edward lists out the elements in the church.
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 1 month ago:
That’s really well thought out. Thank you for that.
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 1 month ago:
Look, he can be a rich guy and a leader. 1 billion is a decent line in the sand of “sorry, you own too much”. He’s certainly not as nakedly evil as most the rest of his ilk.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 month ago:
If they don’t have email access, why is a password less magic link bad then?

Password reset?

- Comment on Hypothesis: Modern retro-inspired indies are much more enjoyable than the retro games themselves 5 months ago:
Things that were once revolutionary or novel for the time can only exist in that space for so long. The elements that worked can feel mundane and like a trope by our modern standards. The mistakes will also be only more highlighted over time as well.
Obviously that’s just a generality. Even if those games aren’t as good, it doesn’t mean they aren’t still good and enjoyable.

It’s capitalism, not humans exactly.
- Comment on Again and Again and Again and..... 6 months ago:
They get to control a resource rich region AND bomb Muslims and/or brown people. Win / win for the sickest fucks among us.
- Comment on Israel pounds Iran, Tehran vows vengeance 6 months ago:
If it makes you feel any better, it’s only because they’ve forcibly had regime changes and they aren’t democratic precisely because the people are generally not on board with this shit.
- Comment on Israel pounds Iran, Tehran vows vengeance 6 months ago:
Most of them are western puppets. The ones that aren’t tend to make the headlines (Iran/Yemen/Lebanon)
- Comment on Aid groups report looting amid threat of mass starvation in Gaza 7 months ago:
Jfc, mass starvation is already here and why are you highlighting the FUCKING LOOTING.
Western media is so dogshit and complicit.

It’s helped me quite a bit, and my ex. It’s been a long time since I’ve been off it, but in general my depression has been manageable generally. There’s a few side effects I’ve had, but they’ve pretty been minor.
I’m sorry to hear your experience has been so bad, but it’s not a trick or a trap. Not all medication is ‘one size fits all’.
- Comment on Government said they are b-a-a-d 8 months ago:
This and you aren’t allowed to say bad things about Israel.
- Comment on And another thing 9 months ago:
Am I losing my mind? Am I too high for this? Is this running into an esoteric meme I missed the boat on? Please help.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 9 months ago:
The United States is a one party state, but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them

- Comment on That's different 9 months ago:
Needs a third panel in pants shitting terror and Yahya Sinwar showing up.
- Comment on You did it. You broken the conditioning. 1 year ago:
Wow… so you’re telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person… to save the lives of many people… who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar
