it seems rpgmaker.net is back online with registrations again! after a year and a half of being down! that's a pretty sweet birthday present. i'll have to get god's disdain updated on there once i get back home. the website went down before i released the game.
@LukeAlmighty that's why I said that we shouldn't base a person's rights on their country of origin. Nobody has the right to not hear something offensive about them. People do have the right to not have pornography, edited or otherwise, of them published without their consent (which includes CP). Defamation is a pretty clear cut example of when speech is proven to harm somebody. Other examples are fraud and false advertising. There is a good reason why these things are illegal... They harm somebody else's actual rights.
It's not like I have to accept any random reason somebody might think something is a right to hold this viewpoint.
@LukeAlmighty The unborn child has rights of their own. Like I said, it is up to us as a collective to decide where said rights begin and that is where the true debate lies. If we have no laws on it whatsoever, then abortion is legal at any point because the rights of the child are not recognized. So we have to find out where a person's rights begin so we know when to limit another person's.
Complete and total free speech (or any form of anarchy whatsoever) is not something I would personally use to impede on someone's rights, but I fully believe that my ideological enemies WOULD use it for that purpose and that is why it cannot exist. We live in a society :jokersmoking:
@LukeAlmighty I watched shondo play it a little bit yesterday and the dialogue is extremely cringe, everyone in the chat was calling it hazbin hotel writing lmao. I've had 3 friends recommend the game so far and it is in my family library on Steam, but idk if I could stomach it.
@LukeAlmighty I think it mostly depends on what your definition of "full free speech" is, because free speech as I know it is as I have described. If you are referring to absolute anarchy, then I would say no. Reason being, basically, we live in a society. I don't trust the vast majority of people to have access to something like that and actually treat it with respect.
@LukeAlmighty I support the right to freedom of expression. As always, your rights end where someone else's begin. It's our job to make sure that someone's "rights" aren't just some stupid shit based on their country of origin. Speech can in fact do measurable harm that intrudes on someone's rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness), so that's where it would stop, naturally.
no matter what your selection is, the opposition will find a way to turn it against you, so i think this answer is probably the best. which makes sense, there is a reason why the founding fathers said the same thing. they didn't just randomly come up with it haphazardly.
@irie i'm guessing what happened is that, with so many agents on one guy, the one who shot him thought that the one who pulled the gun out was actually the guy pulling it instead of the agent. then, when that other object drops, the shooter in a split second thought he had dropped the gun and was reaching for it so he kept shooting. really shitty situation.
it's easy to say he shouldn't have shot when you slow it down and stabilize it and view it in third person from just the right angle... but if you are in a scuffle with a guy who is fighting back and you see a gun, and you see a hand reach for that gun and take it out... man i'd probably fuckin shoot too. so many people say "they shouldn't be doing law enforcement if they can't handle the pressure" but the pressure is a LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION that nobody criticizing them has ever been in and hopefully will never have to be in.
anyone who conceal carries knows that literally the FIRST thing you tell an approaching officer is that you have a firearm on you. you shouldn't be out there getting in their way and then resisting arrest when they pile on you period, let alone with a gun. play stupid games, win stupid prizes. rip bozo.
huh that's weird, my motherboard doesn't wake from sleep when i move the mouse or hit a key by default. not used to that at all but i think i'll keep it that way lol.
@Humpleupagus@lain yeah I think people are freaking out way too much and a lot of YouTubers and shit are kind of perpetuating it. The only time I ever hear people talking about the used market is in passing for like 2 seconds and it's like they view it more as a joke.
Even then, prices will eventually stabilize, and more plants are being built. Just going through a bit of a doozy right now.
mainly post about music and games, and share art from artists i like.obviously i don't condone any sort of abuse/exploitation irl, go fuck yourself.currently learning japanese.
