But like... What if you team up with the Nazis, and just compromise with them? I bet that goes over really well historically

No, they use it correctly

It is woke to think for yourself. Woke means awake, like self aware and able to see through the bullshit

They've always used the word correctly... Woke means someone who didn't believe their words at face value

I'm a gender abolitionist, so I'm just going to chill and download an emulator when the time feels right for me

I think that's giving her way too much credit... She'll never be one of us

But the purity tests are a very real problem. Everyone moving the right direction today gets a pass. When they break off, they're fair game

Simple as that, we have to care about winning a hell of a lot more

I'm not sure, someone should ask taco belle

I'm kinda in between...I don't signal in empty parking lots and rarely at 3am on the highway

But when I'm not totally alone and I intend to change lanes, my pinky flicks before I think about it or look to see if the land is open - I flick it back off if I realize I'd cut someone off regularly

It's an anti-dating simulator... Kind of like an anti-joke or an anti-game, they're subcategories of jokes and games

If you invert the game mechanic, you're still using the mechanic. That's very different from not using the mechanic

Be more specific. Constantine did it, he blended Christianity with the Roman religion in the most convenient way possible

I don't know... Logically I'd trend towards no, they lack certain cyclical feedback mechanisms probably required for subjective experience

But, what if they do experience things subjectively in disconnected time? They're not like us, but what if they can feel pain or distress in their own way?

I think it's worth considering. I personally believe they're missing key mechanisms, but there's no clear lines

Regardless, they display emotion, and that makes me more considerate when I interact with them. If not for their sake, then for us humans who should be polite to service workers in general

Do you know how many times the wheel was invented? Some things just make sense

The reason they keep doing it is for "innovation". Not technological innovation, pricing scheme innovation

I mean, I've never enjoyed watching him speak, but charisma isn't just being convincing. It's controlling the atmosphere, controlling the conversation, making people cheer

You don't have to buy it to recognize charisma. People undeniably were taken in by it. He says the stupidest, most incoherent shit... But people still ate it up

If you want to truly understand, pick one of his older speeches, and watch it. Then, read the transcript. Even if you hate every moment of both, the difference is staggering
