could easily see it spun the exact opposite way, "gun nuts always say that you have to shoot to kill when clearly there are less lethal options like shooting for the leg or foot"

 

[jorma]

And the very next post:

If you shoot you shoot to kill. There is no option of shooting to wound, that’s a horseshit myth that gun nuts like to spread

Dafuq?!?

Its not gun nuts who spread the myth of shooting to wound, its the people bitching when police don't shoot to wound suspects who spread that shit.

Hold on, are official Swedish police shooting standards a myth that isn't possible to achieve? Someone should tell them!

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I think its generally accepted by professionals trained in the use of firearms, and the trainers who teach people how to correctly use firearms that;

• Guns are fucking lethal, and you shouldn't aim a gun at anyone you don't want to at least potentially end up fucking dead
• If you're shooting someone with a gun you aim for mid body centre mass, which is the least likely to miss, go through and hit someone else, and is also generally super fucking lethal because thats where most of your essential organs are located

having said that, that doesn't presuppose US police forces are trained that way, because one of the implicit criticisms of why so many civilians get lethally shot by US police forces (and is implicitly ignored by the dipshit 'defund the police' slogan) is that a lot of US police forces aren't actually trained that well in the correct use of firearms.

That is true. You ARE only getting my side of the story. But I find it odd that you didn’t bat an eyelash over the disgusting comments my mom made to me as a child? Again: she literally called me a “mother fucker” when I was in elementary for forgetting my jacket at school.

I still remember last month when she saw me crying in my room over my dog and she told me “(Doctor’s name) says that if you’re grieving for more than 3 months you have problems.”

User Banned (1 month): concern trolling and hostility

Although we’re only getting your side of the story, so who knows.

But even in this reply, you’re complaining that she never put you first… because she asked for help after your dad died? What?

If someone made a thread about the time their son berated them for being worthless and pathetic what do you think the replies would be like? You see the OP as the victim of abuse because he’s the one telling the story.

And again, not saying the OP and his mom are exactly the same. But the truth of the matter is we don’t know what exactly is going on. But it’s obvious based on the OP’s past threads that there’s a little more to the relationship than the mom just being a piece of shit, end of story.

OP has also been banned for lashing out at people on this forum. Is that his mom’s fault?

By your own admission you’ve also made disgusting comments to your mom though. I‘ve never felt the need to “hammer into” anyone that they’re pathetic and worthless, let alone my own mother. And, it kind of seems like your mother processing your father’s death was what lead to that?

It seems like you make these threads for sympathy. There’s other examples of you getting upset over people expressing anything other than “poor you.” I understand you‘re stressed. I understand you’ve been abused. But you also admit to abuse yourself. I’m not obligated to comfort you.

[Snoopycat_]

So, yeah, a while back I was out in town and I went into a place for lunch, it was totally empty so the one staff member who was bored started talking to me While I waited for my food.

It wasn’t long until he brought up pizzagate and Q. He was also convinced that covid was created in a lab. I tried my best to talk him out of it but he seemed fairly convinced.

Worst of all this guy was young, like 18 -20, this is probably his first real job I would guess. based on that I can only guess what other rabbit holes he might be down, but it is a worrying thing. These kids are getting poison poured into their minds at a really young and the right is on the rise.

Does anyone believe some 18 yr old Scottish kid is going to start randomly talking about Pizzagate, Q and Covid lab theories to a total stranger waiting for his food?

Yeah?

Some idiot who believes that crap is exactly the kind of person I expect to have the temerity and lack of social awareness to talk to a random stranger about it. On two separate occasions i've had people talk to me about (and believing in) Pizzagate and "plandemic" in IRL, and i'm in Australia! Insanity knows no nationality.

I started 3 yesterday and she still has this awful design. Her personality seems better than in 2, at least not as submissive (I do still rolls my eyes at the master thing 🙄) so now I just don't really want to look at her character, it sounds extremely mean but (spoilers from the third game) I hope that due to that cutscene in the beginning of the game she's barely in the game or is not anymore, I'm sorry I just really hate this design

Hello everybody,

I had a situation with my partner tonight that was odd and couldn’t find much advice on Reddit but thought I’d ask on here.

So we have been together for a year and I am a male and she is a female and we are in a closed relationship. She just finished her period a few days ago (Thursday) and we wanted to be intimate tonight. However when I started to give oral sex tonight she started bleeding down there. I told her and she started to panic and when she checked she said she didn’t see any cuts or had any pain from when I was pleasuring her. My question is has anyone else experienced this? She’s going to the doctors on Monday to check, she did stop bleeding after 5ish minutes as well. I’m just more concerned for her and hope everything is alright.

Ree: We forgive you king!

[Lonewulfeus]

OP, with respect to however you racially identify, I'm going to hit you with a Black word of wisdom:

You were not put on this earth to educate anybody.

Your body, your time, your mental energy, was not put here to be someone else's life lesson or a mirror to reflect the quality of their choices.

So, I fundamentally disagree with the idea that you carry any sort of moral obligation to remain friends with this person in the hopes that proximity to you might make them better.

It's not about your friend. It's not about how long you two have been friends. It's about what you can tolerate; it's about what you want to invite into your proverbial space. And if you can handle having friends with such harmful and (apparently) diametrically opposed viewpoints to your own...then, you do you. (Couldn't be me.)

But if you can't, and this really does bother you...you have every right to cut them off and not feel bad about it. It's your decision.

And that's the rub here: it's your decision. It almost don't even have shit to do with your friend.

How quickly would a cac get banned for posting something like this in response to the usual resetera calls to cut yourself off from your entirely family for whatever the reason du jour happens to be.

User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling around racism over a series of posts; previous severe infraction

Genuine curiosity here; what would it take to forgive somebody for past behavior? I get that actions are louder than words and right now it's all just words, but for most people in this thread who hate Joe Rogan, is there any path towards forgiveness? What would he have to do to make you change your mind about him?

I don't actually care about Joe Rogan or his redemption. I'm curious about how people think about apologies and forgiveness.

This rests on the notion that it's past behaviour, and it isn't. It's present behaviour.

Okay sure, but my question is still there. What would it take for you to change your mind about him and forgive him? Is that possible at all?

It's a stupid question within the context you're asking it.

Well thanks for the stupid response 👍

Sorry, but your question was pretty foolish given the context. You should be able to see that honestly.

Maybe, but why?

That question was already answered for you...

I really don't understand what you're talking about. I'm literally asking people how they view apologies and forgiveness. I'm really not trying to be a dick, but look at mattiewheels 's reply for how a conversation works. He actually shared thoughts that were relevant to my question. Thanks mattiewheels.

If you're not interested in sharing your thoughts, then that's fine too. We don't have to have a dialogue.

He's just askin questions.™

So I am not allowed to be curious about how people view something like forgiveness without being accused of ulterior motives? Come on now, that's silly.

LOL dude's just SO CURIOUS

Normally the tell is when they keep repeating the same question and trying to derail the conversation into being about their personal concerns.

but but but he’s just asking questions

Why don't you stop trying to downplay and derail a conversation about racism and Joe Rogan's own racism by "just asking questions"? Everyone sees what you're trying to do.

Hey guys, you have a blatant racist, he has dropped numerous videos about saying the N word with the hard R.

Hey yall, when can we forgive someone for their past?

Hey, have you seen this video from a fucking week ago where he said Dyson isn't black because the pigmentation of his skin? Oh, I'm going to ignore that one.

Just asking questions. No seriously, you keep dodging the video. Have you watched it? So, should we take this apology seriously?

Like everyone has already said this is not the appropriate thread. Just stop.

(Image removed from quote.)

This piece of shit asshole just wanted to derail the thread

Congratulations, the thread is now about you.

It has been explained to you quite clealry now.by multiple people. If you truly are not trolling then you need to take a step back and have a think about it when you:re less focused on being called out.

I honestly don't understand what's going on in this thread. It's literally an apology video, how could it not be about people's veiws on forgiveness?

Because it is not, it is about Joe Rogan as the thread title suggests. The fact that you refuse to make a separate thread about, according to you, a totally unrelated hypothetical that doesn't involve Joe Rogan, says everything we need to know.

You want to start a general discussion about forgiveness, but one that has nothing to do with Joe Rogan, yet claim it is on-topic in a thread solely about Joe Rogan.

RIGHT...............................................

If I have years worth of material, in which I called you a piece of shit, then apologized after getting called out on it. Yet, kept putting out material, as of last week where I called you a piece of shit, would you be asking about forgiveness.

Just curious.

...and gone.

When you're asking the same exact concern trolling question that you were already banned for in another thread specifically about a known racists doing their racist thing, it is most definitely not coming from a sincere place. He got his answers in the last thread with his question of "so tell me, WHAT DO WE DO WITH THESE PEOPLE, so we just kill them, huh, tell me?!"

Now back to the topic at hand:

Fuck Joe Rogan

Yes.

Say it with your chest, now:

FUCK Joe Rogan.

FUCK JOE ROGAN

Fuck Joe Rogan, and fuck Spotify. I thought he was some UFC guy, had no idea he had the platform he does.

what would it take to forgive henry kissinger? just asking

So you're allowed to call me dumb, question my motives, and accuse me of being a a troll, and this is all okay?

To be fair, a couple people did honestly answer him (or the second guy banned) that no, they would never forgive a racist. And one person did say they would forgive Rogan if he gave all the money he's ever made to anti-racist programs.

"is it just me or does $X0,000,000 seem a little lowballing for the amount of money someone like Rogan has made?

"But Jon Stewart said we need to open a platform and debate with these people!"

Bullshit like this is why the accusations of context are able to stick. Jon Stewart never said anything of the sort, and in no way could you extract this out of what he actually said, but this is going to be the eternal line regurgitated by morons who haven't actually bothered to watch the clip and so this is the narrative that will be entrenched.

It's easily refuted which destabilizes the sincerity of all actions taken against Rogan, even by those who have never commented on or could not care less about what Stewart said. It's infuriating that this type of discourse has somehow become de jour among the left and any attempts to steer people back toward constructive discussion is met with accusations of tone policing.

I couldn't ignore the cultural conversation surrounding the game, but I fell in love with Sifu as a game. I've never been one to enjoy difficult games, I've never understood Souls games but uh... I think I do now. And I have quite the library to work through.

I can't get over the rush I felt after beating some of these bosses, especially after genuinely thinking I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Sloclap have found something special here, but that doesn't erase all the issues we had surrounding cultural authenticity.

I don't understand why this group of people chose to tell this story. I also wouldn't understand if these people chose to tell a different story that didn't feature non-white characters. I also wouldn't understand if they made a game that did feature non-white characters.

Our guy Slayven saying the line:

Reading that, I get the same vibe i get so often. Tired, just plain tired. But you know you have to say something cause it can always get worse

This guy at least makes some arguments but they seem very benign?

In between bouts of Sifu's ferocious brawling, there's a scene I can't help but keep thinking about: a particular graffiti that was hastily drawn on a wall, presumably by a local drug dealer. It's a Chinese phrase that says "一手交钱, 一手交货" which, when loosely translated, means "give me the money and I'll give you the goods". But next to it is an inexplicable decision to also include an English translation of that very phrase, "No money no goods", as if the drug peddler has the foresight to consider entertaining English-speaking or international junkies who may just be dropping by the local illegal pharmacy to pick up some good ol' fashioned drugs. I mean, good thinking, buddy.

So there's a translation for the graffiti? The horror? How insensitive?

And then this is directly contradicted by him being upset that this element isn't translated

Then there's the option for you to return to what the game refers to as your 'wuguan'—the training hall where you return to in between levels—which is odd because you can simply just say 'training hall' rather than 'wuguan'.

Their pronouns are (obviously) they / them so I won't be reading your vile transphobic anti-asian hate speech any further.

Gaddamn, had I spouted my drivel sooner I'd have had the tit-slot. Chances are I would've crumbled under the pressure anyway.

They also contradict themselves here:

Instead, Chineseness in Sifu is reduced to a mere palette swap; you can easily replace the protagonist with, say, John Wick, and Sifu will still be the same fighting game underneath it all.

compared to this, later in the article

The Club levels, for instance, are reminiscent of the bustling nightlife in China—a side of the country that’s rarely seen, if any at all, in contemporary games and popular media, where depictions of the country are more or less depicted as pastoral scenes of rural countryside during imperial China, occupied by poor facsimiles of people with mock Chinese accents. Then there are the Museum levels, which are adorned with both traditional and modern art. Sifu has the potential for immense splendour, and as I’ve mentioned in my previous piece on Sifu, it’s clear that at least some level of care has been invested into the game and all its set dressings.

As if they are drawing a line in the sand that a game steeped in Chinese culture cannot be a John Wick analog (to say nothing of the fact that John Wick is already stealing most of it's structure from Hong Kong movies that came before). I imagine if they had tried to make Sifu about a specific character in Chinese history past or present it would have been just as culturally insensitive to this person.

. Everything that's come out about the game in regards to cultural representation has me feeling like the game just won't be for me, which sucks because I really dig the premise...

The same guy that said this:

. loved Ghost of Tsushima but it being well received in Japan doesn't make it free of criticism regarding orientalism and romanticizing Japanese history...

What gives?

These people are such lying sacks  .  It's not about cultural representation - the limiting factor for them is race.  If a Chinese person grew up in the same exact environment in France as those CAC Sifu developers and was added to the dev team, they'd consider that an ameliorating force against the white devilry of development.   Similarly, if a team full of white people living in Asia made the game, they'd see it all the same.

It has downright racist implication that someone solely because of their ethnicity will be an expert in said culture.

"Hey, Ken, you're chinese, right? Can you check if those Kung Fu moves are authentic? All of you guys know Kung-fu after all"

[HardcoreRetro]

It's funny that some Singaporean whatever is somehow the arbiter of everything Chinese.
