Because really there is only energy converting and shifting that’s it. Energy and tidal forces caused by presence of that energy bro.
And we’re just the universe looking back at itself screaming a choir of mortal panic

Always been the case with Bethesda they make the most lukewarm games and always have. Skyrim was/is as wide as the ocean but shallow like a puddle and that’s everything they do.
- Comment on Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. 6 months ago:
you’re being dumb yes they are we can literally sit here all day and go through different ways people have attempted to resist the government from Waco and MOVE to the many many many many many domestic terrorist attacks. We can talk about civil rights movements from MLK to Black Panthers to BLM. Occupy Wall Street, Unite the Right Rally(counter protestors), numerous school demonstrations from Kent State to walk outs to what’s happening today for Palestine.
They’re always fighting.

Lol okay my point stands people are constantly in the streets fighting.
Fascism is a police state, a police state is fascism.
Why are you fuckin mad? lmfao

Totally not true lol. Jan 6th, LA riots of the 90s, the various riots during the height of BLM movements, Seattle, Unite the Right rally both sides.
People are upset, they cause damage and even sometimes try to assassinate people. The US probably faces more domestic terrorism than most places.
We have a very strong police state

- Comment on North Korea is evading sanctions by animating Max and Amazon shows 6 months ago:
I think it is very easy to say that. If you had the US government and their allies, what would you do then?
Befriend them? Tried that got Hitler.
Eradicate them? Lost wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Korea over the same thing.
Let them be? And if they start accruing power and their way of being is a threat to yours, what then?
I’m not saying I agree but you act as if it is assault or something
- Comment on North Korea is evading sanctions by animating Max and Amazon shows 6 months ago:
This commenter is suggesting people treat the US like they treat NK.
US - NK relations are very one sided. US is offering aid and NK is offering threats. From my understanding the country lives in a hard mix of ignorance and fear because of their government. NK also threatens our allies with nuclear destruction. We still present them with aid.
It is fun and cute to point at all the stuff the US does wrong but I can literally change my president, I can speak ill of them and the information they hide often still comes to light so for OP to suggest people treat the US like that they’re choosing to frame them as equals when they’re really not. World isn’t perfect but the US government is miles above the NK one in basically all regards.
If NK had the money and the US had the famine I don’t think they’d be offering aid to the American populace in the same way the US does.
So yes it is extremely relevant to consider how you’d be treated if the roles were reversed and then you understand why these sanctions are in place. NK is no ally and most of their positions on international affairs are simply anti-west.

NK literally doesn’t have famine because the West gives them food.

- Comment on the agent's argument in the matrix 9 months ago:
We didn’t prioritize big brains though. What we evolved to do lead us to big brains because we simply had great diets through cooking.
Other species can absolutely evolve cooking or at least a process of breaking down food to both be more calorically dense and easier to digest. After that it was what less than 1 million years to get here? Most of that happening in the last 100,000?
We’ve just not seen any species reach this point that doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t. Also a bigger question, why should they want to? What have we accomplished actually?
We’ve managed to understand how ecosystems work. Destroyed most of them.
We’ve discovered how to manipulate material to prolong our life span or ease our workload to what? Oppress our own species and others?
I just don’t see us being that great and also don’t see it being impossible for other species to surpass us in ways we don’t even consider because we are arrogant.
Many species on this planet are highly intelligent and arguably moreso than humans. If you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree you’ll think it’s a moron. Dolphins, fungus, ants, moss, fuckin water bears. They’re all incredible creatures, why do we hold ourselves above them?
- Comment on the agent's argument in the matrix 9 months ago:
Again human arrogance.
Animals have evolved just as long as we have my friend.
- Comment on the agent's argument in the matrix 9 months ago:
Nah I’m still extremely skeptical. Humans have only been this way for like .01% of that time. There’s no reason to think we’ve doomed anything.
GOE happened a long time ago but that doesn’t matter. The point is the world has been changed often and life recovers and usually advanced further than it did before.

Actually not true.

There is no reason to think we prevented any life ahead of us from anything. Radiation from us will even one day fade.

Dinosaurs were animals, ruled longer than us. Sharks even longer. We’re not that special.
