In the example, the more populated state had an advantage…

Why doesn’t Florida make 14 electors vote for Kang and 16 for Kodos?

Sorry, I assumed that from the context. In that case, your standards are consistent, which is fine by me.

Good thing I don’t live in the USA. Most people here are neither Christians nor Muslims.

Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance.

Then why do you tolerate the ideology that wants to kill atheists and homosexuals?

Eexactly as I said: you apply different standards to Nazis than to Muslims, even though both are a hateful ideology based on killing undesired people.

It’s interesting that they don’t extend the logic to, say, Nazis. I am Personally consistent on this: both Muslims and Nazis should have the right to exist, but not to force their views on others.

Muslims are by definition supporters of Islam. By defending their beliefs, you are defending Islam.

I definitely agree that fundamentalist Christians are also bad. Why are you assuming I don’t?

I know. Yet every time someone criticizes Islam on the internet, leftists jump in to accuse them of racism. I find this inconsistency weird.

I thought leftists were the ones who like Islam? Or did it switch again?

The Explain XKCD for this comic is gold.

Nobody is forcing you to play the bad games. In fact, the website in the OP is made precisely for finding the good ones.

Clearly you haven’t played any good mobile games. Or any bad desktop computer games for that matter.

What makes mobile games not “real”? Sounds very gatekeepy. I don’t always have the space to pull out my laptop.

The addicts are not going to submit themselves to the medical services voluntarily.

This comment is ironic considering that this article is exaggerating what Musk said.

The headline and article seems to be hugely misleading. According to this article, the $1 was only for food and he did it as a challenge, not out of necessity.

First off, thank you for engaging critically with my comments rather than dismissing them :) I apologize for the delayed response, I had to sort my thoughts about this.

Basically, your brain thinking “no, don’t do creepy shit.”

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because “the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing” is actually an irrational thought.

Isn’t it kind of an example of what you stated in the previous paragraph? By acknowledging that women don’t see me as a potential partner, my brain is preventing me from hurting women by showing my romantic interest. While I could try to combat this thought, it would not be in the best interest of others.

On the contrary, wanting a partner is an irrational thought because it ultimately comes from the natural instinct to reproduce. Hypothetically, if I were asexual, I could just live a fulfilling life alone and everyone would be better off.

If by “acting on them” you mean staring, catcalling, asking out, etc. I’m already trying my best to not do that. I’d say I’m quite successful at it, though in crowded spaces it’s often difficult to find a direction to look in that doesn’t contain a woman. And my mom sometimes tells me that I should look at and approach women, so there’s social pressure too.

However, what draws people to incel spaces is the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t think what you’re suggesting helps with that.
