@tanatana5252 So men don't deal with depression, health issues, or no "me" time? Someone alert the men!

男と女、本当に平等だと思う？

Nope. Referring to you. You're right, the exception to slippery slope is when there is a logical consistency of cause and effect. But you're wrong to assert the OP is an idiot when they are making a pertinent cultural observation that the term is widely misused to disengage from criticism when advocating for the erosion of norms and taboos. "Cool, you think 'no one in their right mind' would go that far. But if political leaders are incentivized to promote themselves as problem solvers, what is stopping them from observing the next limit as a problem to be solved? What core ethical principal would prevent that progression when democratic popularism constitutes the foundational ethical framework of the secular west?" There are many views that insist on reform without adequately providing a foundational basis which would inhibit further amendment to the status quo. Slippery slope accusations just invert the issue by accusing legitimate boundary-inquiry of fallacy when the reformer cannot adequately describe a logical limit to the basis of their desire for reform.

@andreasmadogs @imPenny2x If you're referring to OP, sure, lol.

Is slippery slope even a fallacy? I feel like it's a very real concept. A valid arguement in many cases.

@ryantristanb @imPenny2x Dunning Kruger effect in action

Yes, it is a fallacy 😂 I see you're not a real big thinker, lol. If the logic IS valid, it's not a fallacy, dummy, lol. The logical fallacy is suggesting that an initial action will lead to a series of negative consequences WITHOUT PROVIDING substantial evidence for that claim.

Misleading ommission is dishonest. Religion has never asserted itself to be curative. People will often try to use it that way, and you can handily make this case against cults, but the reason why it's 3% and not higher is because desperate people will mistakenly turn to the church for cures or answers. And because the church prescribes a change in lifestyle which isn't what they're looking for, they'll slip right back into criminality but now with the label of "Christian" smeared across their forehead.

Gaming culture leans left. The gamers who put up with it are largely centrist libertarian right. You will never find a major mainline title with authoritarianism in it unless it's being satirized or denigrated, and it will absolutely never allow itself to be conflated with left-wing authoritarianism lest it close itself off from Chinese markets.

Dangerous question time ⚠️ Do you find 'gaming' culture, in general, leans more to the right or left wing, ideologically. Not, which way do YOU lean, but based on your time in the hobby, which side do you seem to encounter more often.

"Calls out" is the untruthful part of your reporting. It asserts that TPUSA was contradictory to do so as a matter of implication, conflating Charlie Kirk's willingness to hold open discussion with the idea that Kirk believed every time and every place is right for open dialogue. "Accuses" is more accurate.

@BertoPlease Popstonox will only ever report the truth

Hasan Piker calls out TPUSA for not respecting Charlie Kirk's defense of free speech in trying to cancel his talk at Yale University "They're not carrying the flame"

@pureMetatron For how long? At the end of the day, one or the other will always evangelize.

What do you say to this statement? Yes? No? Maybe? Never?

@flyanew @celestiumart Respectfully, no serious theologian adds "Christmas play actor" to their repertoire to justify their unorthodox views. Your Catechism evidently wasn't thorough enough to provide clarity of understanding that not everything you've "done" in a church is of equal veracity.

@celestiumart im roman catholic, confirmed, baptised, been through catechism school for 3 years and acted in the nativity play on xmas for half of my childhood. you know barebones knowledge about the scriptures and preach as though you are an authority. heed not to false prophets.

says the fake christian.

@SamanthaTaghoy There is no way she didn’t spend a ludicrous amount of time practicing that acronym in the mirror.

“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise Any Palestinian that would follow your advice would never know if it worked. They'd be dead. That pretty universally constitutes bad advice.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise I don't care about what israel should or shouldn't do.. I'm giving an advice to palestinians, they claim steadfastness, I see they're doing it wrong, and I say how to do it better and obtain less awful results out of these war events

This must go so hard if you're stupid

The process of engaging is logos is what you define as drifting away from reality. In order for you to be logically consistent, you would have to concede you are out of touch with reality. In effect, insane. This would indeed be logically consistent that every one of your assertions has been patently insane, but that's about it. It 100% contradicts your assertion that you have been 100% logical this entire time.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise nope, no contradiction here.. there's nothing about being 100% logically consistent that would mean I am not ever more wrong with each use of language

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise Hey, I found it. "Language is the art of being increasingly wrong" "Logos is wrong and should not be engaged in." vs. "I'm 100% logical and consistent." Do I get a cookie?

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise all of human history is making up bullshit myths and finding ways to destroy the ontology of life more efficiently ever more wrong.. look I'm 100% logically consistent, you'll never catch me contradicting myself, if you think I did, you misundertood

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise Okay, cool. So Israel should keep bombing the crap out of houses which Hamas turns into missile silos, Palestinians should keep getting out of harm's way and start fighting back against Hamas to compel it's surrender. We agree.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise irrelevant, the discussion isn't about Israel's fault or problem

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise "but probably wouldn't kill hundreds of thousands of ppl just because they want to have a roof above their heads" Based on what? Why would they not want to genocide if genocidal is what they are?

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise why would they die? Israel would probably be cruel in its response to non-violent resistance but probably wouldn't kill hundreds of thousands of ppl just because they want to have a roof above their heads

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise Remind me again why Gazans building their houses out of poison is Israel's fault or problem?

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise which is to say, asbestos poisoning (hundreds of thousands of lethal lung cancers in the next 60 years), -20 avg IQ, +30% depression rate, 90% homelessness rate, thousands of babies catching pneumonia, malnutrition and 100% death rate of those with self respect (genetic dmg)

So when Big Bad Bibi repeatedly tells Gazans that "Israel is not at war with you, it is at war with your captors", and all the evidence corroborates this, Palestinians should do the illogical thing and die for their masters so Israel looks bad and Hamas can reconnoiter attack with impunity. Got it.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise well they had to choose between taking a stand and telling Israel "no, we won't move, find another way to wage your war, we're civillians and this is our home not a military base" which would probably have resulted in a harsh punishment from Israel, and what they have right now

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise "language is the art of being ever more wrong" All of human history begs to differ. "the process of engaging in logos can be summed up by drifting away from reality" No, this is an insane take. Actually institutional level insane.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise are you really that naive that you think there is a way forward? language is the art of being ever more wrong the process of engaging in logos can be summed up by drifting away from reality Language has NEVER been able to get anyone closer to the truth than before they used it

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise So an argument from insanity, then? Objective realities around relationality be damned?

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise My brain is naturally wired to find oughts everywhere, the very real chemistry in my brain is far more material and thus objective than YOUR LITTLE CHART

You are proposing what Palestinians ought do. That is you prescribing for them. What's wrong is it is their lives on the line and you lose nothing if you're right or wrong. Worse yet, the basis for your proposition is in direct contradiction to your prior assertion that Israel is a genocidal maniac state. You think they should "be pragmatic" because you have nothing to lose. To you the choice is a matter of arithmetic. The problem with your "advice" is it's incoherent nonsense. You want Palestinians to ignore the roof knock and die. You argue that it will backfire on Israel in total contradiction to your prior assertions that Israel is a genocidal Jewish state.| Israel isn't waging a war of terror, it is waging a war of retaliation against the organization that has in it's charter sworn to wipe jews from the face of the earth, and that organization happens to be in Gaza.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise what about this is problematic to you? it's about what palestinians ought to do? don't you think they should be pragmatic and that the "intent" of the ones inflicting fear upon them shouldn't matter in their decision? I think they have more important things to think about

@ToxicLavenda @tufpraise "That's a given" Nooooope. No it's not if it's a ought claim. I told you to look up Hume's Guillotine before. I should have stuck to my guns on not talking to you until you did. My mistake.

@andreasmadogs @tufpraise I'm saying they ought to protect their homes, yes.. that's a given and it's not about roofknocking, it's about the general process of Israel making them terrorized and forcing them to flee through fear of death, they should have resisted
