The Gaming Den

You are fucking advocating that ethnic Russians being in Ukraine NOW is somehow wrong, them JUST LIVING WHERE THEY HAVE THEIR WHOLE LIVES is, from the angle you are arguing a continuation of ethnic cleansing , but a group of government backed organized Nazi military killing them and trying to drive...

This is not in fact even remotely what the war is about. This is an entirely made up bad guy narrative that was made up post hoc to justify why Russia is totally worse then the US when it invaded Iraq, but also not even the official position of the US government, just weirdo freaks. The invasion of...

Ok, totally random and minor thing that's been bugging me. Current 5th ed D&D Shocking Grasp, you cast it and make a melee spell attack to touch the target. Would it not be better to cast it and then make a normal attack and if you hit the target gets normal damage and Shocking Grasp damage? No...

There's a third approach the Saudis take of just getting it over with and not talking about it. Or rather I should say a second approach, because whether you're justifying your crimes with "outright imperialism" or "peacekeeping", you're justifying them at all instead of trying ...

When Russia says its fighting nazis at least there are some actual nazis on the other side. Ukraine does have a nazi paramilitary force, but Russia is literally paying a nazi mercenary company to invade Ukraine. Replacing Ukranian nazis with Russian nazis is not "denazifying" Ukraine. Isr...

I hate to talk in terms of "national psyches" or such nonsense, but the leadership of the Zionist entity has historically felt unable to just speedrun its warcrimes and achieve the objective before it makes headlines. Hasn't this been the case for every modern military conflict? WWII was ...

There might be some movement on bypassing the solidarity strike ban by just aligning a bunch of union contracts to expire at the same time : We invite unions around the country to align your contract expiration with our own, so that together we can begin to flex our collective muscles,” he said in a...

If anything I see the failure of Iron Dome as something of a positive for medium term hopes of a ceasefire. By allowing the occupiers to attack Palestine without reasonable fear of Hamas' bottle rockets, the Dome reduced their incentive to agree to peace - to any peace. Why avoid retaliation by cea...

Israel's iron dome missiles have started.... misfiring? A few of them have done corkscrews and then slammed into the ground in Israel and some have hit targets in Gaza. If this really is misfiring and not some other weird thing it's extremely bad news for any hope of a ceasefire. Israel's leadershi...

From the little I've read it sounds like unions in the US were much more radical (and effective) in the 1910s-1950s then in the 60s/70s/80s they got crushed or fell in line due to all the anti-communist shit the USA got up to, is that the gist of it? I could be all fucked up on the history here. Th...

Look i know there are genuine outright antisemite nazis out there. But as a general rule when someone is being bludgeoned in the media for being anti Israel its almost always a blunt tool against the left. I dunno, sounds like you're just making excuses for all these antisemitic nazi rabbis who hav...

They are going to just go into Gaza while ordering an evacuation to people who they have made sure have nowhere else to fucking go and are doing so amid our media and leaders acting like this is a decision that just couldn't be helped because of that darned Hamas. Every Palestinian that Israel goes...

Honestly I think you're delusional. And now we've looped right right back around to to the whole "what do you think abuse is?" question. There's this right wing argument that every action has to be treated as atomized, explicit, and intentional. Bribery is exclusively "Hey there here...

There isn't the same throughline in which every concession is somehow a calculated move to make you unable to commit to a plan of escape or retaliation. FDR's new deal ... was an expression that that's how far the administration thought they had to go to prevent the USA going the way of Tsarist Rus...

The big brain thing you started combating me on is the idea that any interaction with the government where that government did a bad thing at all, then does a good thing is tantamount to abuse. Do you think I am saying that doing any bad thing followed by any good thing is always abuse? Like you fo...

Edit: nevermind. You're back on the daddy government thing. This is exactly what I mean. Since that's all you said about the issue I have no idea whether you mean I'm back on treating government like daddy or back on complaining about being misunderstood. Its just sitting there and I have no idea i...

Constantly bouncing between controlling someone and giving them gifts is literally an abuse cycle! It's not that event A contradicts event B, it's that the context of event A alters the meaning of event B. If your partner buys you an expensive gift that's nice! If they cheat on you and buy you an e...

Considering I've said I don't care about your government daddy issues and that I just want you to stop including me in your fetish posting I think it would be very easy to move on to something else. The reason I have not moved on is because even after I literally said I don't have government daddy ...

I literally said it doesn't matter that you have this delusion and that you keep from adding me into your fetish posting. I cede the point, mea culpa, Joe Biden is not my daddy and I do not have a personal relationship with the government. I will write "I will not anthropomorphize organization...

Just because you've invented some way that a string of words together can mean a concept that nobody ever actually uses it to mean doesn't make that valid linguistics - because, again, valid linguistics are observed from how people actually use words and cannot be derived from some rulebook. While ...

It's especially egregious because the law being tested is whether or not hotel websites clearly state their accessibility accommodations and hotels are butthurt over the testers being able to catch them obviously not complying with the law with a few clicks of the mouse and a screenshot instead of h...

I could retort that in most instances the state of "having a relationship" is intrinsically reciprocal. If I have a personal relationship with Steve or Sally or, hell, God himself, that also means Steve/Sally/Demiurge has a personal relationship with me. What PS said about relationships n...

I guess in your head parental relationships are sexual ones. Please don't push your fetishes on me though.

Hey you stupid asshole that is not at all what I said, stop trying to derail the discussion by pushing purposely bad faith interpretations of argument.

I also addressed some very specific questions to you which you did not answer so I think we're even, please stop clutching your pearls. If you're on about the parental abuse thing, I don't think anyone is obligated to answer what amounts to a "when did you stop beating your wife?" questio...
