Yeah, definitely not autocorrect changing an attempt at “kind” to “know and”

It’s a thing.

Things can literally be “too cute” and it shorts our brains out causing feelings of aggression towards the too cute thing.

Like, how people talk about eating a babys toes, some people are repeating a saying, some are honestly experiencing the urge to do it because their brains are overloaded with cute.

Like in Fight Club where Jared Leto was too pretty so Edward Norton bashed his face in.

It’s not some maladaptive behavior or anything though, it’s just whatever thing you’re looking at is literally too cute for your brain to comprehend.

They say your brain imagines these scenarios so that you can try to avoid them

Not quite.

Like, there’s a scary amount we don’t know about the brain and how it works.

But I think it’s a little different than you said. It’s the brain trying to figure out how it would deal if that happened.

Like, you avoid stabbing yourself by not stabbing yourself.

But your brain is evaluating if stabbing yourself so you can practice surviving a stab wound would be a good idea.

Which, sounds crazy, untill you realize most of what humans do for fun involves tricking our brains or bodies I to think we’re in danger. Hell, even the drive to “play” is just tricking us into exercising so we’re stronger if we do have to fight.

Even tickling is just teaching kids what parts to guard in a fight.

I was gonna ask what know and of question “what’s your favorite meat”…

Then I realized it was likely someone in Utah asking.

I heard from Jon Richardson while he was in a bathtub that Rishi Sunack made his money by causing a global financial crisis.

And honestly I’d prefer to receive all my dystopian news that way now.

In college I was enjoying some recreational activities at a house party.

Next to me on a couch was this kid who had like low grade cerebral palsey or something. Like, legitimately, he had those arm crutch things Walter White’s kid had. Never asked what it actually was.

Anyways, he laughs at something and leans back on the couch. And accidentally does one of those back punches like Bruce Lee. Like, where someone sneaks up behind him and he just hits them with the back of his fist without looking.

Anyways, dude gets me straight in the nose, doesn’t stop laughing, gets two inches from my face and screams

You just got punched by a fucking cripple

And just absolutely died laughing.

He was a cool dude, and that was probably the only time he’s punched anyone in his life, and it was absolutely an accident. But it was just hilarious how he rolled with it

I don’t know why we’re still federated with troll instances like this…

For now,

Bruh…

Do you know what “long term planning” means?

If you don’t think they have one, say it.

Biden could have expanded the courts 4 years ago, but he didnt.

This could have never happened.

Roe vs Wade could still be standing.

So much shit could be better, but Biden didn’t want to fight.

you think they’re not doing anything.

What’s their long term plan?

As far as I can tell, it’s only prevent progressives from taking control of the party.

It doesn’t do what it should.

The point of the party is supposed to be long-term strategy and putting the platform over any one person.

When people talk about what the DNC should be doing, it’s not some “gotchya” to point out that they’re not doing their job and leadership needs replaced.

It’s just proving their point

We need someone that will use every tool at their disposal to stop trump.

Biden has shown time and time again, that’s he’s just not willing to do that.

Stopping trump is more important than Biden, if he won’t fight, and he won’t get out of the way, and the party won’t force him to…

It’s time to ask why we still support the party. The voters are the irreplaceable part, not the party.

The only time I’ve agreed with trolling was when that game about making games leaked a pirate version of their game, where no matter what you did after a couple days in-game pirates would pirate all your games and your studio would go bankrupt.

They gave pirates just enough for a demo, while making a point.

Fucking public freakout weirdly broke a lot of news for me back on Reddit.

George Floyd, the protests, crazy trump news, Myanmar… Strangely what sticks out is the Target fire extinguisher lady on a rascal that ended up being parodied in Atlanta. Like, I saw that shit live completely accidentally.

It was crazy how before something had a chance to hit the news, someone already had a full video (sometimes even with context) posted.

The user base was terrible at times, and likely is now again. But there was a period when so much crazy shit was going on, that it actually had rational takes the crazy was diluted enough.

It was just nuts to have a random Livestream up, and see huge national news stories unfolding live or at least immediately after filming.

I don’t think people realized how all that shit lead to political engagement in 2020, people were fucking pissed and motivated.

OP is 100% making a list…

I mean, probably, yeah that’s a safe bet.

But I meant you replied to me and said one thing, and someone else replied to me saying the exact opposite.

But yeah, you seem to know what you’re talking about and I was curious. So thanks for answering my questions.

Yeah, but their battle passes never expire, and you don’t have to spend real money to get one.

They never expected it to go viral, they budget to go at least a year of story driven campaign and they probably made enough to pay for that times 10 already.

They don’t need to nickel and dime the user base, if anything they can sell less premium shit.

So?

I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.

I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.

But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…

If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.

There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.

Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.

It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.

The two main Haredi (Ultra-orthodox) parties are significant part of Netanyahu’s coalition, and they have always had a disproportionate power compared to the Haredi population because almost all Haredi voters vote for them.

100% not trying to be a dick, because I appreciate the insight.

But is there a typo in there?

Or are you saying that the population will always just vote for the party because of shared religious beliefs…

Even though the party acts against those beliefs?

Like, I’m not trying to argue if that’s logical. I’m American, we have far right abrahmic extremists too that unironically support trump despite him pretty much doing the opposite of their religious guidance at every chance. No judgement on that, I’m not asking you to defend them.

I’m just asking if I’m understanding you right about what’s going on. Because I don’t understand how the Ultra Orthodox party can have “disproportionate power” over their own voting base.

Except in the context that they just vote for whoever their religious leaders tell them to without question or thought.

But also, a lot of shit has gone down since 2016… Those numbers might not be up to date

The vast majority of Hareidi Jews are Zionist

So as a larger community, they’re hypocritical and support the genocide in Gaza.

But some fringe members are actually non-violent and against the genocide of their neighbors?

That makes sense.

But the other person just claimed the opposite:

Most ultra-orthodox Jews are actually anti-zionists

Which is what confused me.
