Time for consequences, or they’ll never learn.

Are you disagreeing with… human pattern recognition?

I’m sure what I’ve said sounds like a lot of things; there are a lot of people out there who lie.

What I’ve described is pretty 1-to-1. If republicans are upset they lost their welfare because they were detractors from welfare, you know what we should say? “Damn, shouldn’t have voted against it then, stupid.”

Don’t confuse a thirst for justice with a disdain for empathy.

See, the problem is you keep talking about empathy in the abstract. It’s very confusing. What is it, exactly, you want people to do? Because what we’re talking about is socially punishing fascists for being fascists. That is another 1-to-1.

I’ll lay an accusation: it sounds like you’re giving a rhetorical defense for bad behavior—and thus enabling it, very naughty—by trying to lean on people’s general discomfort with being too mean.

So, let’s be specific. Trump spent a lot of campaign time talking about illegals, he’s since mobilized ICE as the American secret police, and grandpa voted for him. How should we treat grandpa?

People can be to blame for their own pain. Does that mean they deserve no empathy?

If they are on the side of evil, gleefully snickering as brown people are loaded onto planes, then yes.

If they don’t want to feel the ire of our burning contempt for their low-trust, anti-social behavior, then they shouldn’t be doing it. Be on the side of good. Learn to be pro-community, or perish.

This doesn’t mean I want them to starve. Though, I wouldn’t be strictly opposed to some system whereby welfare is stripped from people who voted against it. Some people just gotta learn from consequences.

And if the credit card issuers have already won this battle?

I mean, I agree, I don’t like it either. I don’t even have a credit card. But I don’t see anything changing without a movement.

[edit] I might have missed you were also the top-level comment. I’ll remind people if you will, haha.

God, the proportions of the original head and hands are so much better.

It’s not something I would have properly noticed without the morph, I thought they actually were the same, but there was something about the original that felt more… bunny like?

It’s like when sound designers add stuff they know people won’t actually hear, but which definitely alters the “taste” of the sound.

How do you think alek found the article?

Why for fun?

Hell yeah, dude~ \m/

Mate, if you don’t want to be caught in the middle of a bunch of anti-seagull-fetishism, then you shouldn’t be sealioning in the middle of the anti-seagull-fetishism thread.

Oh look, it’s a link to the same article as pictured in the meme itself. That’s absolutely crazy. Cheers to alekwithak for knowing how to google words that they’ve seen.

Meaningful discussion? About revenge killing a bird? You are the psychopath in the picture.

No, no.

“All videos would be AI-generated by glowies, like the moon landing.” That’s what you should say.

*The important thing is that we’re killing seagulls, you mean.

Yeah! Like that!

He accidentally grabbed the bird’s legs, accidentally hulk-smashed it into a wall, accidentally got its blood on his chips, which he accidentally ate while smirking.

You’re winning, keep talking!

Look, man. I just talked to Chris Brown. He told me you will be sanctioned and put into the bonk-pit for 21 days for being a bird lover. That is, unless you can post a video of you bonking a bird right now to prove you aren’t a traitor to our cause.

The only consideration a seagull deserves is death by mein fuhrer. You… wouldn’t happen to be harboring any seagulls, would you?

This is a really useful line of argumentation.

Hey! You’re supposed to be on our side!
The wife-beater bird-beater consortium will hear about this.

I’ve given light bonks to my wife before. It’s a shame the judge won’t see reason.

Well, you’re welcome. :p
I’ll leave this then, too. I was going to, but this didn’t actually have the elevator in it.

Have you never heard of the elevator conformity experiment?

I don’t know if you’re being serious or not.

You’ve got to follow the pulse of the crowd. “You’re cringe” either sounds like the final blow to a shaky-legged cringe lord, or the last gasp of air from a voice-cracking, 14-year-old tough guy, depending on who the crowd is already inclined to agree with and possibly on whether they know what a floppy drive is.

The bottom line, though, is if you can get the crowd to cheer, then you can get other people to cheer.

Yeah, bait for them. The point is to make them more mad than you are, that’s how you damage their social reputation.

I think it’d be nice if there was an OS-app version of the web browser middle-click. I never feel confused about whether an opened link is or is not taking focus because I shared my intent by which mouse button I used (left: open and switch, middle: just open).
