  1. That can't be expected of everyone. She was a teenager with mental health issues, not John Wick.
  2. Your statement is PUA nonsense. If you can explain why slut-shaming exists without using PUA narratives, then I'll believe you.
  3. She was obviously not mentally well. I'm not sure why'd you expect some thorough, well-thought out plan.
  4. Try to be encouraging for newer forum members. Politics is hard to understand and our standards are high.
  5. Well, that's why we got to have this discussion. Awareness first, love machine second
  6. The logical conclusion is that both men and women are essentially survival machines, just with different functions. Which is correct. The point of this discussion should be to become aware of that.
  7. I mean the whole thing is just kind of silly. You're sitting here wondering if a distinct "you" will be reborn as something else. When you're literally eternal absolute infinity, dreaming infinite dreams in total oneness.
  8. Then what do you consider kids being shot every year? A nose-itch?
  9. Be smart. The choice is not between short-term solutions and long-term, root cause solutions. You need both. If you get in a car accident and are bleeding out, someone has to stop the bleeding. Later you can figure out what went wrong and avoid it in the future.
  10. Neither will a knife. If AR-15s aren't effective for school shootings, then by that logic no one needs one to protect themselves either. So they shouldn't be sold.
  11. If men weren't so deaf to the critiques of feminism, potentially she would have had less problems with men.
  12. 1) It's not happening equally everywhere, it's happening disproportionately in places with more guns 2) The point is not that this would solve everything. These are just basic safety protocols Don't be so hung up on root cause solutions that you ignore the obvious.
  13. Are you honestly arguing that stab attacks are more of a threat than an AR-15?
  14. It would still be an improvement. You can stab a lot less people than you can shoot with an AR-15.
  15. Evolution is just another form in consciousness. It's part of the dream-construct that is your life.
  16. Your framing of the issue is still off. Slut-shaming is not just about a bunch of bitter guys who canโ€™t get laid. This is a failure to understand the phenomenon.
  17. That's not really true. That's more of a useful lie PUAs tell themselves, wrapped in a bit of truth.
  18. Thatโ€™s good youโ€™re looking to put the puzzle pieces together. The most important thing is an honest sense-making process.
  19. He has many libertarian / free-market fantasies. I'm not interested in debating it. I'm just pointing it out.
  20. I would not consider this tier 2. He is making many errors.
  21. Teal implied it. I'm willing to give her some benefit of the doubt on this, but not a great take from what I heard. Certainly there are pros / cons that aren't always acknowledged. Talking about those are fine.
