Non-Gaming Hot Takes

True true memes keep humanity going
By memes I meant in the primary sense of the term.

Also "bloodlines" are relevant only for aristocracy and royalty. The great-great-grandmother of someone isn't that relevant for the person themselves, we name trees after their fruits not their roots.


Although saying that we're too numerous on Earth is a bit of a fallacy as we've attained a "plateau" that is flattening and natural death still occurs.

Man... Can you stop turning every DAMN thing into philosophy or whatever this is? A long convoluted answer like you know we don't to over analyze stuff you are just making it too complicated man.... Whether he passes on his genes or not is up to him it doesn't matter that much to me nor should it matter to you.
 
I'd still argue that correlation does not imply causation and that the implication of the sentence is really icky. Frogs aren't mammals like humans either and we've observed homosexual behaviour in many species.

I'd also argue that someone doesn't "turn" gay either, it doesn't work like that.
Feeding a human beings hormones can 100% change their sexual behavior. Like frogs.
 
Are you people getting into another lame argument again?
 
Oh my eyes are bleeding
 
I'm specifically speaking of things like respect based topics, for example, disagreeing about certain world leaders (no not a certain german leader, talking about people like churchill or lincoln, though there are some things i can mention about said german leader, that's not the meaning i meant).
Just say Hitler. Adolf Hitler. I know that facism and nazism are things lurking around in the internet but i think people should refer to this things using their names. Naming it doesn't mean that we are going to welcome neo nazis and the like.

Didn't mention him because some sites ban even mentioning his name, like saying it 3 times will summon him or something.

That's what i mean, it's ridiculous that stuff like that happens. Like not saying his name will erase anything that happened at the time or that it will prevent his ideas from spreading.

Good thing this is a gaming forum so we don't actually have to talk about those things.
unless...

It depends of the context but an AI wouldn't care if you talk about someone in good or bad, just mentioning it would trigger some bots.

It's why words like the second WW or even the major event that happened in 2001 are not allowed to be mentioned in Youtube unless you don't want monetisation.

But this is also something that could go against the rules here as this is inherently political (like most things).

That's a slippery slope I'd advice against going in.
 
It only took 44 replies for this to derail, new record guys!

Endocrinology is a slippery slope? I was only saying that in reference to your argument that the frog thing doesn't mean anything for humans, don't care to get into any other conversation here, whatever you think I'm getting at.
 
Are you all saying we cannot talk about Angela Merkel? Say her name?

I disagree but only on one facet of it, society as a whole only gives a shit about their children nationally, hence why they don't do anything about companies using literal child slave labor out of places like china as a example, but lose their mind if someone tries it in their home country.
 
JoJo is a bit overrated.
Any popular manga/anime/media becomes overrated when they are popular. But then again people are using the term "overrated" a bit too often when they're expressing their opinion.

Why are you saying "human"? There are non-human societies on this planet? Most animal species don't care about their offspring.

I'd even dare saying that, in the western society, we are probably pampering children a bit too much. They become spoiled and we often hear about the "child king" where they think that parents should bow to anything they want. It happens in middle and upper classes, especially if he's an only child.

While I agree that it's normal to have laws against violence towards them as well as child abandonment but sadly when a family is poor they tend to have more and usually some are unmonitored more often so it could lead to juvenile delinquency since they don't know what to do and the effects of not having love from parents can be extremely bad for the mind and their adult lives.

We have issues about how there are two polar opposites and while I'm not a child psychiatrist I think it's good to have boundaries, knowing that parents are not friends nor older siblings but authority figures and being able to procreate doesn't make someone systematically good parents.

I just don't get the appeal it gets, I'm not saying it's a bad anime or something, but maybe it's more popular than it should be, like Dragon Ball or One Piece.

Your correction was very valuable. Thank you (not).
