Because it isn't real. Unlike the very real humans who died doing this and the very real humans running Saudia Arabia who allowed this to happen.

I care because I noticed that all the people defending him won't talk about what happened afterwards meanwhile they never stop reminding us that the men he murdered had criminal records.

It is inconsistent. If they can bring up the past I can bring up the future.

afraid_of_zombies ,

It's his mom, Jesus dude.

afraid_of_zombies ,

I don't think I would want anything to do with her either. It's not fully rational or fair but it's the way it is. Her position as his mom means she pretty much has to defend her son's multiple murder and there are 8 billion people on earth, I don't have to spend a minute with someone who would do that.

Plus if I was going to hire her I would wonder how much crap this is going to cost me. It's not a heavily populated area and the name is rare enough. At best she is going to be neutral at worst she is going to attract the kind of people I don't want around or infuriate other people.

I am a parent myself. If you don't like my kids I don't like you.

He showed up to a riot with a gun, he knew what was going to happen. He put himself in a situation where deadly force would just be on be on the line of justifed.

Duty to retreat includes duty to not show up. It says so much that had the people he murdered not died and instead killed him they would be able to use the same defense he did. We are creating a last man standing justice system.

A provokes B. They fight. B is murdered. A claims self-defense

provokes B. They fight. A is murdered. B claims self-defense

What does it say that the argument works both ways? No other crime operates this way.

afraid_of_zombies ,

LMAO no they wouldn’t! They chased Rittenhouse down as he fled! No jury on Earth would consider what they did self-defense, you’re completely out of your mind.

Personal attacks. And of course they chased down the guy waving a gun around.

She was walking around with a skimpy outfit, she knew what was going to happen.’

False analogy. Rape is never justified, stopping a gunman is.

Wisconsin is an open carry state.

What might technically be lawful is not always sensible.

Loaded question; it DOESN’T work both ways, especially not when there is only one aggressor.

Showing up to a riot with a gun is aggressive by its nature. Just like if I stood with a gun in front of your house at all hours.

afraid_of_zombies ,

It's his mom. What is wrong with you people? Me and my mom have a shit relationship but if I crippled her ability to work or she was going to be out on the street I would send her cash. Me and my wife send her parents money each month. It is a very small price to pay for giving me my partner.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Umm what does that even mean? How can anyone feel neutral to another human being? All I am picturing is you know someone exists but any amount of pain or pleasure they feel doesn't impact you. Like if you could push a magic button to make them happy you wouldn't bother since that would require effort and you are neutral.

I don't know any people who are wired this way.

afraid_of_zombies ,

When you bring back to life those two people he murdered I will.

afraid_of_zombies ,

How would your reaction have been if it wasn't a cultural artifact creating by Europeans? Say they did it at Native American site or Aboriginal?

afraid_of_zombies ,

But that would cause damage, which they didn’t want.

They blocked ambulances

afraid_of_zombies ,

Never. That would involve real jail time and they are cowards

afraid_of_zombies ,

Another incident but same group. Maybe instead of going "whoosh" to yourself you can read up on the issue

afraid_of_zombies ,

No same people same organization same country. Yes I do expect you to do the slightest amount of research on a group's character before you start charging in and providing free apologetics for them.

Seems like that would violate a lot of human rights.

I salute your nobel victory over the Strawmen army.

But if you want to start with a group, let’s start with MAGA

Misdirection.

The issue here was cornstarch on rocks. You are talking about things further than clouds in the sky

They blocked ambulances.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Just stop oil gas blocked ambulances. All your internet rage won't change that.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Hey us allies helped out as well. I sent them my Fight Club Fan fiction.

afraid_of_zombies ,

This one is an evil genius

afraid_of_zombies ,

Mormons expecting to go to heaven and meet all their wives up there.

That could be very awkward. Sounds like a sitcom idea that runs for 9 seasons yet no one remembers watching more than one episode.

afraid_of_zombies ,

God damn it. Stop summoning the Sherman. Last time someone did that everyone caught on fire.

afraid_of_zombies ,

incapable of pronouncing correctly

Lonely bookish kids, grown men who do not listen to anyone else, ESL adults who had to pick up the language without help. Take a guess which one of the three he is.

afraid_of_zombies ,

What’s the hell wrong with American voters?

Rage at a system that doesn't work and dreaming of being a person who doesn't have to apologize for anything. There is a reason why crime movies, games, and TV shows are so popular. It isn't that most people want to be going around murdering all day, it is they want to be able to.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Cough...Iraq war...cough

afraid_of_zombies ,

Wait...there is money in manufacturing false data to sell to these fascists?

afraid_of_zombies ,

I don't know if it is unethical. They want a narrative and you sold it to them. Is making a superhero movie unethical? Is roleplay in the bedroom unethical? You are taking money away from fascists which is always a good thing.

afraid_of_zombies ,

What is with angry men and cocaine? It's like a chicken and egg problem.

afraid_of_zombies ,

As many angels can dance on the head of a pin

afraid_of_zombies ,

Ok...they can go on the second submarine to the Titanic

afraid_of_zombies ,

Bans Tik Tok and puts up the ten commandments.

Pretty clear what the goal is here.

afraid_of_zombies ,

You would have to be the laziest dumbest motherfucker who has ever lived to not be able to get a job in recycling or renewable energy sector right now if you want one.

afraid_of_zombies ,

that container ships, factories, manufacturing facilities, cruise ships, private jets, etc. belch more pollutants into the atmosphere by so many orders of magnitude that anything we can do as individuals is completely and utterly inconsequential in comparison.

In my area they were talking about building a natural gas plant. We have some of the strictest laws on earth about air pollution. People protested against it. The planet got moved to a different state, one with less regulations.

I mentioned this to one of the people organizing the protest. I point out exactly what was going to happen and my prediction was correct. If the decision is already being made to do the wrong thing I want it done by the best person I can find, because they will do it in the least offensive way that they can.

It's shit like this. It's not being able to look at the whole picture that is the most devastating.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Because most protests are about making the lives of normal people miserable until they’re pissed enough to hold someone to task.

And how is that working for you? How is diet-terrorism panning out?

afraid_of_zombies ,

They won't do that. That would involve being killed. There is a reason why Peta throws red paint on old ladies wearing fur and not on biker gangs wearing leather.

The very worst thing the UK government is going to do is throw them in jail for a few months, maybe a small fine.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Spent the whole day doing things about it at my job.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Yes exactly. Everyone on earth that doesn't like the idea of paint being sprayed on it is also pushing for a motorway to be built right through it. No exceptions, no questions, no quarter

afraid_of_zombies ,

Do you really think any deniers are now convinced?

Over a century of data pouring in but this act will be what convinces them?

afraid_of_zombies ,

This is for the deniers

You made a claim.

afraid_of_zombies ,

I had jury duty once and the air conditioning was acting up. Judge announced we would all be moving to a different room as a result, which we did.

Guess it isn't a luxury when it's a judge's place of work.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Can't. Zoning board says it's not in neighborhood character.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Bohemia area by the mini airport? Did some factory work in that part of LI. Yes it can very much feel like you are working in a sauna there.

afraid_of_zombies ,

What interests me is the terror threshold. People are just so much more, including me, afraid of electric motors vs ICE per kw.

Do you work with industrial machinery?

US lawmakers meet with Dalai Lama in India's Dharamshala, sparking anger from China ( apnews.com )

A bipartisan United States congressional delegation met with the Dalai Lama Wednesday at his residence in India’s Dharamshala, sparking anger from China which views the exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism as a dangerous separatist. ...

afraid_of_zombies ,

Umm so they did have a major one and didn't tell anyone.

afraid_of_zombies ,

This is never not going to be weird to me.

Including buying karma

Aligns with their religion:

https://suttafriends.org/sutta/sn11-16/

The boss of all the gods in heaven is lectured by the Buddha who states that giving stuff to his monks results in more merit than any god.

To be clear this was kinda a big deal for those polytheists. Giving a sacrifice to a god was a transactional act. I burn this incense or leave this bowl of food out for you, you make sure my kid doesn't die from this illness. When Buddhist pushed people to instead view the Sangha as the place for donations they weren't simply asking people to switch which shaman they were going to, they were asking them to shoulder on another one.

Tibetan Buddhism is the Catholic Church of Buddhism, far off the track, festooned with rituals and beliefs, all the same failures that accompany a religion as opposed to a practice.

I don't often see people gatekeeping a religion as open-ended as Buddhism but here we are.

afraid_of_zombies ,

A bit of a challenge

It's Botox+surgery+concealer, right?

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age ( www.theguardian.com )

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

afraid_of_zombies ,

Boeing style.

No more moon shots, contract out everything, slash pensions, fight a war against your union, move corporate away from production, buy your own stock.

afraid_of_zombies ,

This is like Saul Goodman levels of bullshit
