I mean I've got colitis, so all of my shits are not pleasant.

2019-08-25 22:33:49 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Nah, just colon cancer in my late 30s to early 40s, and thank fuck. No need for suicide.

That is a sweet price for a full chainmail shirt

2019-08-25 22:37:47 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

I'd say we have a recognizable gun problem, but mostly just because it comes from a gun culture.

2019-08-25 22:38:44 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

I'm just talking about the overall aggressiveness towards the issue. It's brought up so heavily because of the high culture around guns.

A nuclear warhead on a dead-man's switch

2019-08-25 22:44:03 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

I don't think mental health means an increase in gun violence, because that means it correlates with an increase of mental health issues, which might be hard to prove. Not to mention the caution one should show when declaring things to be a mental ill. Let's not forget the problems that arose by declaring "the gay" to be a mental illness.

2019-08-25 22:45:46 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

It wasn't exactly a culture then. It was simply the weapon of the times. There was no opposing society around guns purely because of domestic issues which prompted opponents to that.

2019-08-25 22:46:43 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Back then it was "swords are now guns," while nowadays it's "guns are the problem" vs "guns are our right"

2019-08-25 22:47:45 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

It wouldn't. Society just becomes the greater issue there. Not all mass shootings are just from someone who is completely deranged. Some people are fervent in their beliefs, and declaring them to be mentally ill might make the problem worse, which is why you should show caution when declaring it to be a purely inhuman thing.

2019-08-25 22:48:41 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Well yeah, people disagreeing with the gun rights don't have too many guns with which to go on a mass shooting :^)

2019-08-25 22:49:52 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Never said gun culture was a problem, just said it's why the mass shootings are so heavily discussed when someone posted that graphic about how much our gun problem isn't that much of a problem.

2019-08-25 22:50:28 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Hey, I love that song

2019-08-25 22:51:34 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Probably the real mental health issue around a lot of the mass shootings can be pinned to suicidal behavior.

2019-08-25 22:51:45 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Wanting to make an impact quickly, then getting out of the game

2019-08-25 22:52:33 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

And with suicide rates and political divide increasing across the globe... shit's bound to get fucky

2019-08-25 22:55:35 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

I say just push the big red button.

2019-08-25 22:55:43 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Total reset.

2019-08-25 22:55:56 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

New game, this run sucked

2019-08-25 22:59:07 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

Well there is evidence towards people and political parties faking opposition in order to increase fervor, but not quite on that level. They just rile people up to get them aware of their perceived opposition.

2019-08-25 22:59:48 UTC [Athens #piraeus_politics_news]  

At least I have some bright side of knowing people who pin themselves to the radical left who still say "you don't fuck with our soldiers"

NO

THIS IS FRENCH, AND VERBOTTEN

Lifetime of cuirassiers saw little combat.

As the years went by, the rich knights didn't like how heavy and unwieldy the armor was, and slowly started losing pieces over time.

Until they basically only had the front plate

That dog's name is Karen, and would like to speak to your manager about a duel.

Tits are not for long-term squishing

I dunno about a sword, but a lance would sure as hell suck

Depends on the style. Basic chestplates, yeah, probably

Hypothetical combat scenario, if you had a boob plate, and took a glance off the side, you'd be better off than a flatter plate, as the rounding redirects much more of the strike. However, if the strike hits more center, the rounding focuses that blow towards the center. If not already harmful, you get a more direct force, potentially imbalancing you or knocking you down, which spells death in most circumstances.

Is that what she said?

Basically harsher advantage and disadvantage.

Like taking Jinx.

Any blow to the head sucks, it's just easier to feign into a pommel strike to the head.

That morale goes both ways. Both forces will fight to the death for those tiddies.

Wasn't she flat as hell?

They were French, after all

That thing would be a nightmare to reforge

Probably have to ask for that privately

Anyone remember Case Closed?

2019-08-25 23:37:46 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Well yeah, actual practice will actually get you shot. To be anti-theist is the same to being anti-social. You will actively stop people from performing those acts.

2019-08-25 23:38:14 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Never confuse the 'a' prefix for the 'anti' prefix

2019-08-25 23:38:46 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

I'm anti-theist in a tangent sense of being misanthropic.

2019-08-25 23:40:18 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

A lack of progress made so far would be far more harmful if we didn't point out the power they had.

2019-08-25 23:41:11 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Considering human behavior and history, that would require a war

2019-08-25 23:41:56 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Space exploration used to be a great unifier, and should still be. But nowadays we seem perfectly happy to burn up with our rock.

2019-08-25 23:43:23 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

I would, they don't seem to give a fuck about Jesus that much nowadays

2019-08-25 23:43:55 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Well they aren't as much of a military influence anymore

2019-08-25 23:45:04 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

My anti-theistic stance is simply: Hey you dumb fucks. There will be hundreds of more lifetimes past yours, and at some point, the planet upon which we stand is gonna be fucked, so stop bitching about your hopeful afterlife, and get to work on fixing the issue of the fact that we're all gonna die.

2019-08-25 23:49:05 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Even in modern day, religious institutions like churches still hold too much sway out of favor of older laws.

2019-08-25 23:49:23 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

They get to ignore new laws in some circumstances

2019-08-25 23:50:16 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

They are not the source problem. Humanity is always going to be the source problem.

2019-08-25 23:50:31 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

Our nature is an issue of source, but there's no fixing that

2019-08-25 23:51:14 UTC [Athens #voulรญ_politics_discussion]  

We've repeated our history for over 10,000 years in terms of society

War of extermination

Honestly the term is more adequately defined by the aggressor

How that would be described as a declaration would be simply a "war of extermination"
Perspective from any side defines it as something else

The Germans might call it "cleansing"
Others would call it genocide, but that is quite a literal term, as that is certainly what occurs

Yeah, entirely depends on perspective and imagination in that sense. Hell what if Poland was in support and called it "purification" of Holland.

But the declaration term would be a war of extermination.

Always gonna have opposition, but the future always has words for history.

The genocide would be the act of killing the people, but you don't need a war to commit genocide.

See: Soviet Union

Well, to be fair. It wasn't. It's just that communism doesn't really last long...

And it probably never can, unless we were to permit an artificial intelligence to become our overlord

An AI might be able to think fast enough to solve the greater issues and balance the situation, but that's purely hypothetical. I agree it's not even likely.

A hivemind is the end-goal of communism.

Virtually unreachable, but the basic idea

Anarchy is the end-state of anything we've made so far.

Nothing has been indefinite

Everything has been revolved.

No, that only lasts a short while

Anarchy is probably the shortest-lived society

<:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

On occasion, they do.

If you want to argue a negative, you must accept your own negative

And we accept that negative

So accept your negative

Oh yeah, he's been around

Still fun though

It's a way he forces the conversation to switch

I personally see Mao as a greater evil.

Mao had a personal investment in his objective and results, though.

Stalin might not have even been involved in some of the atrocities.

Slav-land was already set to become a superpower, and China just needed people to shut up and be controlled.

It's never designed to be hard...

Didn't work for very long. Bastille day should have taught people that vilifying the rich despots doesn't get rid of the rich despots.

Autocracy is pretty much a necessary thing.

Well, not in a stronger sense towards DER JUDEN. They still considered them inferior, because they wanted to define an Aryan baseline.

They would have argued in favor of black people if they wanted them to become the new Aryan race.

Sadly there weren't as many to make into soldiers

Especially towards the end, when they were getting fucked

So many general betraying The Fuhrer and recruiting people he didn't want so that they could live.

Stop pushing superior French artistry, they are asshats, and must not be recognized

Reality is far worse.

That's my issue with communists and libertarians. They're so damned hopeful and optimistic.

You're arguing against someone who strongly favors a more marxist position @BabaBooey . Are you sure you want that bridge burned?

Nah, I'm a nihilistic misanthrope

Push the big red button, and I'm happy
