“Say Polemarchus, what is your definition of justice?”

From time to time I feel like my dreams are a continuation of other dreams I’ve had in the past.

I can recall 2 or 3 different scenarios that somehow I keep dreaming about and it always feels like either a repeat or a continuation of the last time I dreamt about this scenario

The same characters show up and in the same environment etc

It’s quite cool. I always wake up and feel like “woah this would be an amazing movie” except the one where I’m lost in an underground circus and the magicians and lions are trying to kill me. I sometimes relive the story of dreams I had years ago. I only wish I could remember more about them.

I don’t know if there’s a memory space for dreams but at least it seems like it’s possible for the brain to fall into a similar state while sleeping and you feel like it was the same dream as before

I did not mean to justify Israel’s actions by pointing out Hamas’s attack.

I agree that Israel has the sole power to stop this conflict. Every day they refuse to do some sort of ceasefire deal is a slaughter caused by Israel alone.

Netanyahu is likely prolonging the war due to political pressure and IMO should be considered a terrorist as well

As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

They are not morally Superior to Israel.

Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.

The history of Palestine is super messy. All sides have committed terrible acts to the other, coming back hundreds of years. Each side can always look at recent history and claim X has provoked Y or Y has caused a disaster on X.

You can claim this was a provoked attack. I for once can hardly justify an attack on civilians. You can argue, Israel has done worse in the past, and while each side is biased, perhaps you’d be right.

My point is. This is an endless discussion

Both sides are bad. IMO the best outcome at the moment is to stop the conflict as soon as possible

Man what a terrible choice of words.

By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict

Can you provide a source on that?

Japan historically has some of the most demanding work cultures in the world. This news seems wrong to me.

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It’s ok if you don’t like it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group

Just wave with a brick in your hand the next time

Anata no chimpo wa subarashidesu

“Your weiner is incredible”

“Nice dick”

So your suggestion is that we ignore 34 guilty veredicts?

Well in a way the US will ignore it. A twice impeached 34 times guilty ex-president is still allowed to walk on the street and even run for president again.

Yeah, the penal system in the US and quite frankly it’s whole constitution are a joke

I would miss Google maps too.

I’d love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don’t know what I would use to navigate around

Congrats guys! Really fun stuff going on the website today!

The inch is 3 grains of barley of course! At least the kind of barley they had In the 14th century. Alternatively the length of 12 poppy seeds in a line. You probably have lots of those lying around your house right?

The foot is about the size of a clown shoe, duh!

And the mile is about the length of 1000 paces from a malnourished roman soldier

In this context “gamers” means “chronically online gamers”. the 3% of people they actually complain about this kind of stuff that would not change anyway

It’s clear that you’re not trying to make a point here.

You didn’t comment here to discuss but just to throw your hate for pronouns onto other people

Ask yourself if you actually want to create positive change. You clearly have an opinion on the matter. Regardless of your opinion being reasonable or not, you already ruined your chance to get your point across by being a total ass

You will never convince anyone by being an asshole. So don’t be one.

And if you just want to express your frustrations then go to your therapist.

I guess they antagonize anyone that has moderate exposure using their IP

In some countries copyright law says that if you let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment then you cannot suddenly request whoever is using your material to stop

Let’s say that Nintendo allows fans to make fan made Mario games for 5 years. Then they suddenly sue everyone and say “hey you have to pay for copyright or shutdown”. A judge can decide that since they didn’t enforce their copyright for some time they cannot sue people that are using their IP.

From a legal perspective the act of policing your own copyrighted material is the company’s responsibility. This law prevents companies from relaxing their copyright claims for years (essentially allowing people to use it) and then suing everyone for using their IP. In other words Just let everyone use it, then sue them. The law is there to prevent that

Nintendo is likely super strict because “let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment” has room for interpretation in a court room. So they go to the conservative side and shut down everyone. Also consider that they’re right next to China. The piracy capital of the world. It’s not a surprise they’re scared about their copyright.

I’m not saying that what they’re doing is right. It’s not. But I see where it comes from.

Great to know that you can recognize your imperfections. I’m sure you have a good character. And i’m glad you’re feeling better. Cheers!

I understand that you’re angry. Sure the initial comment was slightly snarky, and yes, a lot of frustration is caused by a large lack of willingness to address men’s issues.

But I’d just like you to find out what you want to achieve with your commentary.

If your objective was to raise an argument and change someone’s mind, then starting a conversation with

Stop pretending you know jack shit

And

STFU about your cope bullshit Will never convince anyone

If you just wanted to express your anger, then I think it’s unjustified to direct it so intensely to the initial comment. The intensity does not match the casual tone of the comment and it’s uncalled for.

Maybe you just wanted to spend some idle time by commenting on posts. Sure that’s fair, but considering the stress you put into this I’d say that’s probably a net loss for your mood

That’s not what’s happening here

Sorry if I misunderstood that. But your tone did not help with my understanding of your point

The problem is that they brought up men’s rights issues in the most passive aggressive snarky way

Sure I agree that the initial comment deserves some correction, but You will never get your point across by insulting someone. often to convince someone you should talk to them like they’re your friend. I know the insults might come more naturally than friendship, but respect is what effectively causes change.

I’m just suggesting you use your energy and patience more efficiently

I enjoyed this conversation, and hope you did too. Cheers

Hey, what’s up with the tone my guy? Message me if you need to talk fr

Regarding the subject at hand,

Evidently women still have many issues coming from male dominant culture formed before the industrial revolution, there has been good progress but there’s still a long path ahead.

Men have issues coming from cultural norms too. imo the biggest hindrance for men at the moment is not nearly enough people talk about men’s mental health.

MOST IMPORTANT NOTE IS:

Promoting solutions for women doesn’t mean ignoring men’s issues.

Promoting awareness to men’s issues is not against women’s interests.

When someone is promoting progress, let’s not jump to “there are bigger problems elsewhere”

If you want to promote change via debate, being aggressive is the worst strategy. Why not say “hey, I hear your argument for women, and on this note I’d also like to raise this other related subject about men’s issues.”

That’s a win win conversation
