A genocide and a war with another country, which they’d probably like to turn into a genocide as well?
There’s also a whole other population of Palestinians they’ve barely started genociding. Are you saying it’d be no worse if they started killing off people in the West Bank in the same way?
It makes sense to people who want to use the deaths of their ancestors as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want.
The implication is that 11 is as bad as it gets. Unless you’re like a hundred, you’ve never seen 11. It can get so so worse.
Yes, people are dying. And it’s horrible. But acting as though this is the worst it’s ever been or will ever be is laughable.
That’s where that comes from, yes.
So you agree with my entire point, but don’t want to admit as such?
That was literally my entire point. That corporations effectively have carte blanche to do what they want, then the tools they use are the ones to take the blame.
Video games are an escape, which can be a problem in and of itself even without exploitative tactics meant to squeeze them of profit… but again, that is a societal problem. The danger of escapism is not so great without something to escape from.
This is blaming the tool for the actions of the person using them.
This is not a video game problem, this is a societal motivation problem. The motivation of corporations is to make money, so they employ whatever means they can to achieve that.
In this case it’s targeting kids playing video games.
The tool is not the problem, the wielder is. Saying otherwise is extremely disingenuous.
Ah yes, the games are the problem, not the system in which they are created.
It’s the video games that are the problem. Clearly.
Indeed, he didn’t create the party, he just says the quiet part out loud.
Maybe it looks goofy because you’re looking at a picture you took of your monitor instead of taking a screenshot like a rational adult.
Bbbbbut both sides…
It’s people like you that make it hard to give legitimate criticisms of the lesser of two evils. They are in no way the same… they may have similar flaws, but one is far far better for us in the short run.
So… three monkeys?
I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.
It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.
…except this isn’t explicitly a Linux website. Sure, it’s probably run by people who use it extensively and populated mostly by people who use it at least regularly… but it’s in no way a Linux dealership. I came here specifically because it wasn’t trying to sell me something.
If you’re trying to say that’s not the case, and that the fediverse only exists as a mechanism to sell people on linux… it might be time to give up on it, I suppose.
And as we all know, only extremes exist! The middle ground is an illusion!
Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.
Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area… I kind of doubt it.
Fair, you didn’t explicitly state it. Just implied it with statements about how most people in porn (who should all be adults, unless you’re looking at questionable material) look like children to you. Then make comments about how even the “milfs” are too young.
Maybe it’s not about them being too young, maybe it’s time you accept that you’re old. You’re putting a lot of your own biases into your judgment instead of looking at it objectively.
So… anyone who’s not your age looks like a child to you? That’s kind of fucked up.
It’s not about reducing harm to children, it’s about moral superiority.
So you’re saying it can get worse?
