So many people try to make "scientific" justifications for their blatant lack of empathy or willingness to change. If you're whole agument is "-but meat" just save your breath and tell us straight up you don't care about harm if you profit from it like the rest of those meat-puppet imbiciles.
Your attempts to sound smart are embarrassing.
Original Video
The only thing worse than ignorance is the illusion of knowledge, as it takes away the soil for the seeds of real understanding, the seeds that can grow and blossom. No illusionary seed will be able to offer perpetuation of creation as the illusion of knowledge is the hangman of originality and creativity.
In times like these, real education is rebellion against the genocide of one's own species.
Man has alienated himself from his very own self, by taking away the balance of the most important aspects of his own species: He has beaten curiosity out off his soul, until the other weight in the scale took over; strive for comfort. By losing curisoty he not only loses curiosity in his own environment, but also in his fellow humans; Man turns into a egomaniac species who does not care if people get harmed or even killed by own actions. But he does it to escape his very own hell, the perverted reality he has created entirely by himself. He perpetuates and amplifies his suffering, as he is not able or willing to adress the issue and that he himself is responsible for accounting to the solution, or the problem. Therefore they created a questionable entity to "save them", when in reality only they themselves can save them from their own selfmade doom.
Man has hunted for illusions, until they started to haunt him.
But, better start to look the monster in the eyes, before we all vanish into total annihilation. Only we ourseleves are resonsible. There is no one to save us, and even if there would be one, they won't solve the problems we caused entirely by ourselves. We should learn this lesson in responsibility! It is our turn to learn and grow!
Types of Melee Attacks in Games
Video games have all sorts of melee weapons, but they all perform one of three different distinct attacks.
The Shove
The most insulting of attacks, for both sides. The Shove is, simply put, when you perform a limp, impact-less attack against an enemy. This will always do next to no damage. Your best bet is to use the Shove against enemies with very low health. The developers did not intend for you to fight with the Shove.
If you are reduced to using the Shove against armed opponents, you may as well disconnect. Expect at best to annoy your enemy slightly by reducing their health by a little. Of course, if you can kill someone with the shove, then that’s BM on the highest levels. Take advantage of the tilt this will generate in your enemy.
Notable Examples:
Overwatch: Most characters are able to perform the Shove -- the only exceptions are characters like Reinhardt who have vastly superior melee weapons as their primary. Let’s be honest, it only exists so you can trash the spawn room.
Left 4 Dead: Survivors can perform the Shove against the infected to push them away if a horde of undead (or a special infected you don’t want to be near, particularly the Boomer) gets too close. I don’t think it actually deals any damage, making it the shoviest shove of them all.
Fortnite: Battle Royale: The most insulting example -- the Harvesting Tool, a comically-oversized pickaxe that, for some reason, only deals 10 damage per hit. For perspective, the common-as-dirt Common Assault Rifle deals 30 per hit, fires faster, and can hit enemies further than a meter from you. The Harvesting Tool is only for breaking structures.
The Smack
A satisfying, heavy hit which deals a large amount of damage, often able to two-shot opponents. It rewards being gutsy enough to get within groping range of an active shooter by being a viable and powerful alternative to guns at close range.
Some players will choose to use nothing but the Smack in combat. Why? Because it’s fun, and a skilled Smacker can actually get a lot done. Not as much as someone who uses their ranged options as well, but it works. In games where the Smack is an option alongside firearms, part of becoming good is knowing when to switch to melee to finish off enemies with a nice, meaty SMACK.
Notable Examples:
Team Fortress 2: Every class gets a melee weapon on their third weapon slot. Aside from the Bat, the Knife (more on that later), and unlockable weapons, they are all statistically similar -- they deal 65 damage and they have a swing-rate of a little under one per second. Some players will build their loadouts around using using nothing but the Smack, the Demoknight being a prime example of this.
Overwatch: Reinhardt, being too much of a Don Quixote-type to stoop to using firearms, charges into battle with a giant rocket-propelled war hammer. As you might expect, that thing really hurts -- most classes die to it after two hits. Gengi’s Dragonblade is like the Rocket Hammer, but Gengi is faster so it ends up being a lot more powerful. One wonders why he doesn’t just keep that thing out at all times.
The Stab
The most powerful melee attack available. The Stab, as a standard, is a one-hit-kill. I call it ‘the Stab’ because this attack is always delivered by a knife. Even if the game has people running around with swords, apparently a small blade is the only thing that works for Stabbing.
Getting near enemies who can perform the Stab is not advisable. They may have to do it from behind to Stab you, but masters of Stabbing are tricksy bastards with ways of getting behind you from every angle. Of course, if all knife hits are Stabs, then you shouldn’t get near the enemy at all, and if that can’t be avoided, try to Stab them yourself.
Notable Examples:
Call of Duty series: Everyone can perform the Stab from any angle as a limp Shove-like swing, available at all times. Don’t ask how getting lightly slashed ragdolls supposed military specialists.
Counter-Strike: The knife is normally fairly useless. You can perform the Smack with it, but at that range the enemy can just shoot you in the head and kill you far faster than you can slash them. Attack from behind, however, and it’s an insta-kill backstab. The knife from CS is unique in that it has an alternate fire, but no primary fire.
Halo series: You can perform a Shove that’s actually a Smack, unless you do it from behind, in which case it ends up being a Stab. Spartans, everyone. Halo: Reach added literal stabbing animations for the Stab which makes the mechanic more believable than ragdolling a supersoldier by elbowing their backplate.
Team Fortress 2: The knife performs the Shoviest Shove imaginable if you attack from anywhere but behind, a technique known as ‘butterknifing’. Attack from behind (or in front, because Source Engine) and you deal damage equal to three times the enemy’s maximum health. Demoman would be so much fun if you could do that with one of his swords.
I accidentally stumbled upon The Free Press, and after seeing that it had Douglas Murray and it's sort of articles, playing up Trumpism, I quickly went off. But this Substack article from @theunpopulist.net sums up the problems with it and much of the press. https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/the-free-press-passage-into-the-dark
You can smell pseudo-intellectualism through a screen and, no. I don’t care to elaborate.
Pseudo-intellectualism in Modern Literature.
Pseudo-intellectualism in Modern Literature.
People who presume, not entirely unreasonably, that “literary fiction” represents a value judgment, fail to understand that “literary fiction” is just a marketing category (coined in the 1970’s by publishing and book retailers) characterized by slower pacing, stylized prose, introspection and a focus on interior life over exterior action, a focus on character over plot. What they are not, though,…

Everything on the internet eventually becomes averaged by all the average and below-average people with access to it. Except below-average content; neither average nor above-average people access this content with any regularity capable of raising it above below-average. Damningly, most content is below-average from its inception, indifferent to its production value.
I have yet to see a scientifically valid argument about gender being a social construct. The premises I've encountered never left the realm of opinion (which is something I generally dislike and dismiss) and took a step further. Men and women are inherently different. When it comes to gender our behavior is mostly wired into biology. It's quite a stretch to attribute it to society - and so easily disproved! I'm sure you'll have plenty of other opportunities to make bigenders cry.
My apologies for the lateness of this reply; i’ve been busy, and this message got somewhat buried in my ask box.
The main arguments i’ve encountered for gender not being biological tend to revolve around offloading the burden of proof; essentially a “photos or it didn’t happen” mentality.This basic practice isn’t terrible, but they don’t seem to exercise the same skepticism with regards to the idea that gender is a social construct. The entire attitude just seems to be based on the Argument from Personal Incredulity (”I cannot believe it, therefore it cannot be true”).
“You don’t have sufficient evidence to say that gender is innate… but yeah, i’m totally open to the idea that gender is a social construct. That just makes sense, right?”This reminds me distinctly of religious fundamentalists who are highly skeptical of evolution, but have no trouble accepting - or at least entertaining - the idea that God created all life from nothing. It’s heavily indicative of personal bias.
This is made more infuriating by their frequent dismissal of statistical trends (e.g. that vastly more than 90% of the population is comfortably cisgendered), and anthropological studies which demonstrate innate gender in humans and other animals (e.g. the Kibbutz experiment, and other studies showing gendered behaviour in animals and infants). One starts to wonder when their skepticism will be satisfied.
Sadly, though, the segment on gender in my lectures only lasted for a week. I’ve managed to stump and silence professors on other - more philosophical - topics, but i believe i’ve missed the opportunity to make SJWs cry.
