I don't see how someone couldn't make you forget something and then remind you at the time they deem is right. I mean the point of this image is the mystery and I think that would be myterious enough.

I like this. It's not really helpful in the sense that it seems almost as hard as being perfect yourself, but nonetheless it's possible, contrary to the alternative.

Don't get fooled, that's called stockholm syndrome.

"I thought of that, but not enough to act on it!"

If someone is seriously a supremacist about using darkmode I think their input is invalid enough to be discarded.

On the other hand I don't think downvoting someone you disagree with on anything is in itself toxic, but going out of your way to downvote someone over something this - let's be honest - unimportant is sort of stupid.

EDIT: To be clear I'm saying darkmode is unimportant not the issue of people being toxic.

like the cops would know about yu gi oh

Lay down and pretend you are dead. This way the solar flare will most likely lose intrest and leave.

Faults may be found in the reasoning, but even with that, this may just be the truth.

Nuh-uh. Organic/long established ethnostates may be frowned upon, but if they close off their borders to preserve their identity, that's their right,
since I belive in the self-determination of peoples.

It is arguable though, whether these even exist right now, or are there only nation-states and some wannabe ethnostates.

Trying to violently establish an ethnostate is of course something I cannot agree with.

  1. Ethnicity totally can be part of an identity, but that doesn't mean you have to hate anyone.
  2. Don't misunderstand "closing off borders". Making the people stay is not okay. Not letting the people that left back is also not okay. Not letting in a different ethnicity? Arguably racist, but I wouldn't count not letting them into your country as oppression. I'm a christian, so I can't visit Mecca, yet I don't feel oppressed.
  3. That's why I said "long established" and that's why I pointed out that those aren't many. I don't think the violence you'd have to use to establish an ethnostate is in any way acceptable. If the ethnostate already stands though, you may use certain tools to preserve it, which are not many and are usually "not enough".

My take wasn't that ethnostates are good, but that they are not inherently bad either, it's just the tools usually used to establish and preserve them that we must condemn.

I think they already knew this, the new thing must have been ditching the "probably".

Dunno, imagined something like Kowloon Walled City.

Sadly it was torn down once it's enclave status ceased, but if you want to see how it could have looked like from the inside Stray has a very similar atmosphere.

But like, why?
Also why admit to it?
Is she just a moron or something?
Is there a lore reason for this?

halvar ,

True that may be, however anyone with the capacity to reason should have been aware that this may not be the appropriate response to such an offense, especially with their future goals in mind. Someone bestowed with such an ability should also understand, that telling people about it is itself not the brightest idea, especially if one does it honestly. The question remaineth: is she an imbecile?
(yep i head some fun with this)

(Almost) Totally out of context comment warning

Some parts of these articles are always so weird for me. It's not that I disagree or don't understand the point, but that it's always such a stupid part where they say "...now then, Trump said we're X and Y, now this actually isn't true, because in fact, he is." and I can't help but very silently yell to myself "my brother in Christ you are yet to prove your point in a logically sound way". I mean I know that he is and he acts like people other than him are, but it shouldn't be assumed I have that knowledge.

I think it's just bad writing from the journalists' part, that's all.

hell nah this ain't real
i call bullshit

I love the obtusely large ships in sci-fi and this won't change my mind either
