This person probably can’t decline the five declensions.

The five declension? I’d prefer not to.

This is such a bizarre, absurd argument. What do those sentences, taken out of context and misrepresented, demonstrate about Nietzsche’s view of Jews?

The New Testament isn’t exactly considered the Jewish part of the Bible. Just on the face of it, the quotes seem to be more anti-christian than anti-jewish.

Also idk about the implication that stanning Pilate is antisemitic. He does have an absolute banger of a line.

This take on Nietzsche is particularly ironic considering that actual German nationalism was being born at the time, and Nietzsche opposed it. He broke with Wagner over all the batshit antisemitic stuff (again, Nietzsche was anti-christian, not antisemitic…).

Nietzsche famously loathed Christianity, and the slavish mentality he perceived to be at the core of the faith.

Why specifically hidden item games?

Also any tips/recs for getting into cracking?

I think he’s saying harming a human being is morally worse than harming an animal, all else being equal. I was confused as well but I think it’s just the Community meme wording. Had to reread it and look up the actual line from the show.

The line is “I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty”. I’d forgot the extra layer of irony, that it’s a white woman implying cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to black/brown people.

This fucking site strains my reading comprehension sometimes.

being murdered on a factory farm

I think a factory farm slaughtering people is considered outside the realm of possibility. I assume the vast majority of people would consider that morally worse.

people do lose continuity all the time when they black out, go under for surgery, get concussed, and so forth

Or sleep. It can’t really be avoided.

Yeah, the first game’s intro literally has the US invading Canada and executing civilians in the street, while the US media praises “our brave boys fighting for our country”.

I’m glad someone finally said this, I was getting irritated seeing people using the term incorrectly.

It defeats the whole purpose. It should be obvious just considering what the acronym stands for.

Yeah, I know there are white Muslims. I’ve seen lots of blue-eyed blond-haired Muslim Bosnians. I’m just wondering if there’s a limit to what Americans would consider white.

Like I know a Palestinian guy with fair hair and blue eyes, but I’ve never asked him if he considers himself white.

Is Hasan white? I thought the name alone would preclude him from whiteness.

Theyre trying to do do an Amerikkka.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol)

Opponents of the war have pejoratively called the Z symbol a zwastika.

The 2022 Moscow rally […] was officially called in Russia “For a world without Nazism” (Russian: «Zа мир без нацизма»), with Latin Z replacing Russian З.

In Moldova, unknown vandals painted the symbols “Z” and “V” over crosses at the World War II Heroes’ Cemetery of Chișinău, on graves of soldiers of the Axis-aligned Romania

Forget all the Ukrainian nazi iconography, the Ruzzians are the real Nazis!

Honestly it seems like an arbitrary line, considering that Herbert’s story continues for a few more books after that. The first two books could also be considered a good standalone (duology?), since they cover the span of Paul’s story.

Really, the only wrong answer is the first book alone. I think most people read only the first book and get the wrong idea.

Spooky. 👀

It’s very obviously a pun. The only question is if it was intentional.

I didn’t. Re-read my comment; this was purely hypothetical.

As we all know, no one one won either of the World Wars. Being the bloodiest conflicts in history, they are furthest from the possibility of having a victor.

You’re supposed to do a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus so you don’t get stuck in simple loops.

You can’t use one atrocity to justify another, otherwise you’re justifying them all. That would be atrocious.

smh making puns at a time like this…

Dead tied, huh? Total standstill? I wonder if the available evidence supports this conclusion.

Because if it didn’t, we might have to conclude that you’re either propagandized to the point of delusion, or being dishonest.

lmao

people who are basically “racially trans,” meaning they change from one race/ethnicity to another

Yeah, I recently realized how “ick” parts of it are, so idk if I can listen to it and enjoy it anymore. But it was their best album!

I just didn’t question it or really think about it, hearing it mentioned made me “hmm…that WAS weird.”

Same kinda process with “In the Aeroplane over the Sea” lmao
