I vividly remember purchasing Final Fantasy 3 in the early 90 for $69.95. It was the first video game I purchased with my own money and it was like a years worth of allowance.

Reminds me of CGP Greys’ “The Rules for Rulers”. It’s just a matter of navigating the keys to power.

I Liked the comment but look at this guy’s post history. Ya’ll took the bait. Russian bot/troll/Pro Trump account that only spouts things such as “Liberal pussy foot neo-leftist commie bastard clown fart”. 100’s of short one line insane posts in the last hour alone.

My wife and I both forgot the year we were married during a conversation last week. It went a lot like the one in the transcript. “That was 2022? No wait, 2021? Let me pull up the pictures on my phone to see the date…”.

We have only been married 3 years. To be fair, we have been together for 12.

I’m sure it’s like pissing into the ocean but I went back and edited my most popular posts and replaced them with AI generated nonsense that is supposed to be difficult to classify for LLM AI’s. I doubt it will have an effect but it would certainly be funny if you had enough people do it.

I guess because they are grammatically correct but contain paradoxes, ambiguity, and are utter nonsense.
Here are some samples:
“Silent thunder vibrates noiselessly through the colorful darkness, illuminating unseen sights with invisible light in a transparent fog.”
“The invisible painting, clear as day, vividly colors the transparent wall, telling untold stories in a language never spoken.”
“The motionless wind, still yet turbulent, swiftly calms the turbulent stillness of a restless peace in a serene tempest.”

This is why I love this place. A very well-thought-out detailed response. I agree with you in most parts here but I do have, and I concede this could be irrational on my part, a fear of small-scale localized armed violence. It might not spread into something large but that doesn’t matter if you become the victim of it.

All that said, I never have settled on my own personal opinion on the principle of always punch a Nazi. I’m very much on the fence on that one, and I think it comes down to how effectively boundaries have been communicated before enforcement begins, which will unfortunately vary case-to-case.

I think the rhetoric/idea of “always punch a Nazi” was effective at putting societal pressure on keeping people from becoming “nazis” or at least suppressing outward expressions of hate (or at least hate we all agreed upon as being “bad”). You are right in that this is an information war but the problem with information wars is that people tend to defer to confirmation bias and actively seek out the answers that align with their existing ideology.

Also, the Irony isn’t lost on me that we are having this discussion on a site that leans very liberal so we do have our echo chambers as well.
