When I was a little kid and I ran into cheaters in Halo: Custom Edition I still hated them and would never do it. I don’t think being a bored little kid is an excuse.

That said if you don’t do it anymore that’s a little more excusable at least you stopped.

A good amount of people use the race of a wrongdoer to justify the dehumination and collective guilt of everyone said group.

Its a good thing I’m not advocating for that.

Look at how people justify the murder of Jews by pointing to Netanyahu. Look at how Islamic Terrorists justified the murder of Westerners by pointing to the crimes of America. Look at how many people justify the murder of Muslims by pointing to 9/11 or Rotherham. Look at how Terfs justify the dehumanization and extermination of transgender people, or even gender variants in general, by pointing to cases involving transgender people.

These are all in-group out-group dynamics. They have nothing to do with the fact that people point at specific bad powerful individuals. In fact its often the other way around, people will often hate/love a leader more depending on whether they’re perceived to be in any specific group.

It does not prevent the collectivisation of crimes to justify the dehumanization of groups and people. It is still a slippery slope that leads to fascism.

I am specifically advocating only to make it easier to pull the trigger on powerful people doing massive harm. More harm comes from letting a powerful person live if they’re active in doing harm. Anything that makes it easier to take down harmful powerful people in aggregate results in a net good.

Luigi Mangione is innocent of murder. The dead CEO is guilty of mass murder and intended to continue. The new CEO taking his place is also likely someone that should be luigi’d, as are the current stockholders.

Absolutely. Though I want to clarify my take on justice. If an injustice is required to make the world better, happier, safer, freer, I’m in favor of it. I’m not looking to bring punishment to bad people.

For instance, I don’t want a certain racist rapist fascist idiot to suffer, I want him to stop causing suffering. If that means a quick and painless death, or being put into a peaceful vegetative state, or simply being removed from office and somehow made culturally/politically irrelevant, I will take it.

Now, would I personally enjoy seeing him suffer? Yes, but that’s not really the important bit.

OK, but I care about material consequence. Not the emotional catharsis of moral judgement.

Dehumanization of groups from a position of power is bad.

Dehumanization of bad powerful individuals to make it emotionally easier to take them down may be necessary.

I don’t believe in evil, but I do believe in consequences.

I want to play more often than my close friends want to play because I’m a tryhard meaning that if squad play is crucial I’d have to coordinate with random people on the internet over voice chat and that sounds… potentially unpleasant.

Maybe 99% of the time my interactions will be nice, but that 1% of bad times with randoms over voice chat will unfortunately stick in my brain.

For me, the nice thing about BF is that I can team up with my friends in a squad or play asocial solo and have a great time either way.

Unfortunately, also as a tryhard, I despise Engagement Based Match Making. And it seems the main mode of BF6 is also going to have that and I just have zero desire to play a pvp game with Engagement Based Match Making after the experiences I’ve had with it. Skill Based Match Making can be ok if I get to at least see my rank. I just want to know how much I’m improving as a player and I can’t get that with Engagement Based Match Making. I only experience what is essentially hollow algorithmic match fixing.

Twisted Metal (1995) via Duckstation. Installed using Emudeck.

Playing normal difficulty, abused save states on the first character, Sweet Tooth. But after that stuck to only saving in between levels or level password.

Playing the characters in order from Sweet tooth moving right, on the final rooftops level atm with Crimson Fury.

Game obviously is janky as hell but its deep in terms of learning curve. I’m more familiar with TM2, but always want to play through TM1 at some point.

Also watching the cut FMV endings on youtube after beating each character. They’re delightful.

I would be if the person I lived with did not constantly remind me to eat by cooking stuff that smells delicious.

I’m torn about it to be honest. I’d be way less fat and more attractive if I was left to “unhealthily” naturally skip meals. That said, home cooked food is tasty.

I mean, if someone explicitly states in their will that they’re OK with their body being turned into a sex toy (or even that its one of their wishes) that complicates things but there are still good reasons to deny it anyway.

If it were purely for utilitarian safety and educational purposes, that would imply a much smaller footprint of their time spent consuming that information than is typical of those that listen/watch to these podcasts and shows.

Most people if they want to stay safe/live-long just need to socialize frequently, eat healthy, get enough sleep, and look both ways when crossing the street/drive safely. Because people don’t do those things and they end up dead more often as a result of those things than axe murderers.

There other reasons other than the dead person themselves to keep a taboo on necrophilia:

1. As stated, the dead person has survivors who likely would find that psychologically distressing/traumatic.
2. Normalization of necrophilia has other unsettling implications directly and indirectly related on a societal level.
3. Disease.

Probably some stuff I’m forgetting.

No it wouldn’t.

Yeah, its insensitive to the survivors. That’s definitely another issue, and pestering them for “juicy information” is pretty gross and callous.

(The dead person doesn’t care though, they’re dead.)

I feel torn. On one hand, whatever floats your boat.

One the other, I think my biggest issue is that this stuff makes people more afraid of their fellow human beings because of incidents that make up like 0.0001% of all deaths.

You’re more likely to die early if you are constantly alone/asocial for a number of causes. Worrying about being murdered and chopped up into pieces by some nutcase is an extremely irrational fear to cultivate. And I know that these shows do that: They do it to me every time I watch/listen to one.
