What would you consider to be mature emotions?

Yeah I guess I sorta used your comment there to put that out for other people. Sorry for that.

I just posted this elsewhere, and I’m sure you’ve already seen it but here’s the full video of the tank man:

Does not get run over, no violence.

Well considering a majority of americans think the tank guy got ran over and murdered on camera for everyone to see, maybe not so crazy they quash that one.

Edit: I encourage those who aren’t aware to go watch the full footage, its not shocking in the least, many will find it anticlimactic even.

Edit 2: took forever to find the full video, its not in full on youtube or anything like that I could find: https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/tiananmen-tank-man-1989-hd-full:b

I think simply people like to laugh, its not crazy for a king to hire on someone to make them laugh.

How well did the protests about gaza go over then? You are hand waving away something we all lived through and saw. From unions to college campuses, protesting has never been a protected right. You can only protest as much as those in power allow you to in your area.

Even those not in power shit on protestors when it affects their lives. People start saying things like “thats not the way to protest” or “this isn’t the time or place, have some respect”.

Its bullshit, and we do not have the freedom to speak our minds, unless we already agree with what we are expected to.

Release the wolves! Its time!

20s’s me: “well how are wolf posters going to help you get ahead in life?”

40’s me: “I dont care if you have sex with a taxidermied wolf, everyone has hobbies its all good.”

But if I said, “it might snow tomorrow, but I’m going to work no matter what”, then you could safely say that I plan to drive in the snow if the situation arises.

In this case the situation did arise, johnny was just being cheeky, he absolutely knew it was a sin, but his pride wouldnt allow him to deny the challenge because he believed he was better and could prove it.

I dont see a difference in intent at all. Can you explain that? Theres not some loophole left in the word might, context matters.

Either way he’s saying it doesnt make a difference, if it was a sin or not he’d still do it.

They didnt say that. Do we still call these strawmen?

That means he’s acknowledging its a sin but he will do it anyways. You are thinking it says it might be a sin or might not, but thats not how the sentence goes.

Thats only because they write with emotion in mind, in my opinion. They are trying to evoke feelings and cause dissonance, not lay out an intellectual thesis on the subject.

Cat downloads human in this case.

I think its interesting that people in the west only realized the danger capitalism posed when it started affecting their weather, while the rest of the world has been filling graveyards for decades because of it.

Its almost like everyone knew the whole time.
