Civ… 4?

You’re absolutely correct, however:

Violence is justified on occasion.

This cannot be disentangled from a natural derivative: ‘Tyranny is justified on occasion.’ Just what the occasion is that justifies it is much harder to pin down. Traffic laws can be a form of tyranny, for example.

Importantly, this should not be confused with despotism. The statement ‘Despotism is justified on occasion’ is distinct, and uh, less defensible. Every time there’s even the semblance of a benevolent dictator a religion ends up spawning that plagues humanity for centuries with a fixation on the dictator instead of the benevolence.

So to bring it back, if the wolf wasn’t already blowing down and eating the pigs using straw and wood, he’d have his justification, instead of the convenience of one.

It’s pretty much in the “OGLAF” class of webcomics, but maybe a little more wicked and subtle.

subtle

Yuuko would disagree.

I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.

Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit

Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.

And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

Why yes I do drive a Nissan.

The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.

Now I imagine the dub would be in a thick Boston accent.

Zero expectations but they have helped form an actual focus point to organize around. Redacted or not they’re a rallying point.

Okay, but in oil or butter?

This, but the box held together with tan packing tape applied in the 90s.

That’s the channel Indy Neidel made during/after The Great War, correct? I never made the leap after following from 2014-2018.

I usually maxed out at one person at a time anyway, so finding a spouse fit my life quite easily. Which, incidentally, has mostly exempt me from this scenario.

However the random requirement to socialize with other people’s spouses and other couples due to children… Well, that’s necessity. Like work.

I am friendly and socialable at work, which ends everyday at the agreed upon time. That doesn’t keep me up at night.

Gotta respect the cern.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.

Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.

This was because I always compared them to Apple.

So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.

Dogs: omnivorous pack animals designed to consume just about anything, like the wily human.

Cats: carnivorous obligate hunters unable to effectively consume carbohydrates and despite the popular trope and demonstrable desireability, tend to be unable to digest fish both of which finds its way into all their food. Also they’re picky assholes.
