Does Leo shoot you when you disagree with him, have a different lifestyle or leave the forum for a while? Of course he doesn't. However, we are derailing from the topic.

Well, most people around the world are like that. So, it's not a new or exclusive thing. The exclusive thing would be not doing that. Let's avoid doing false equivalencies. But whatever.

Luckily, some of us are relatively developed and have grown out of that idiocy (defending religion, etc.) and don't need to do that anyways, as our lives don't depend on it.

Well, I said open-minded in a conscious way. I agree that there needs to be a limit to how much tolerance is required toward non-tolerant people.

I understand the second point that they can negatively affect. But I have to investigate that myself later, how much of that is true or false. However, it isn't ethnic cleansing if there isn't malice behind it. So, I would not rush to say that whites are being ethnically cleansed by whites or others. Although I'm aware that some groups of Muslims have that kind of ambition. People who are paranoid about cultural changes or differences without being able to point out the actual malice behind it without BS-ing or give religious or cultural justifications for the actions of the immigrants are just idiots that need to be suppressed if they are going to follow their rules. Although, it depends if those idiots are the majority. I expected Europeans to be culturally more open-minded in a conscious way relative to others. I guess I have yet to visit there to really know if that is true.

An important thing is whether the fear of the immigrants is based on cultural or racial differences or the evidence that all of them are actually criminals and just want to commit crimes elsewhere.

There should be a distinction between different types of immigrants; the ones that are going there to spread their underdeveloped lifestyle and the ones who want to have better life relative to their current one. If they are accepted, there should be some compromise from the immigrants; they must try to drop off their bigoted, racist views, etc. However, that would only work if the locals aren't racists and bigots themselves.

I thought Europeans were intelligent and compassionate enough to be able to filter the bad actors from the good ones.

@Carl-Richard, I didn't even say that he could not be psychic. However, you cannot, as you would like to say, strongly suggest that he's one either. More information is needed. It's like saying that a person will always crash his car because he crashed it two times. In that case, if he crashes multiple times, it's likely that he hasn't learned to drive, someone actively wants to crash him, or maybe some entity somehow follows him and affects him so that he always crashes. However, you cannot conclude that with 2 incidents. Saying that he's psychic is the "God of the gaps" type of answer to what I'm trying to say. We don't see psychics that much. Hell, I have never seen one either. Also, him not being aware of his supposed psychic abilities lessens our chances of knowing whether he is psychic or not. So, calling it luck is more likely than him being a psychic for now. Chill out.

Actually, it's stupid and cringe to believe that someone is psychic based on some short video that someone does two approximate guesses and to defend it to death using the existence of psychic phenomenon as a justification.

@The Crocodile, did I say psychic phenomenon doesn't exist? If I imitate someone perfectly, how would you differentiate me from the person that I'm imitating? He did two lucky guesses looking the images of skies. You cannot determine that he's psychic based on that. A lot of information is needed. So calling it luck is the best answer. He could have guessed 1000 times the approximate location with the same setting, and I would have said he's lucky for 1000 times. Also, notice that he's not guessing the exact locations. I think a psychic would have easily guessed the exact location. If he's psychic then I would like him to guess the image without looking and also guess the location exactly with their coordinates without even being trained.

Or maybe describing that video as a psychic phenomenon looks way cool to think otherwise.

@Carl-Richard, he didn't even click on the accurate location as the game is about guessing the exact location. So, in a sense, he misses most of the time. Also, by looking at the skies, you cannot gain intuition about where they can be looked from. So, he got either extremely lucky or, as I said, he has some intuitive understanding of that game and uses that to determine what the next location could be if there aren't enough objects to link them to some location.

Another question: Is killing objectively bad? Wouldn't you kill someone who wants to murder you?

@LambdaDelta, do you know what the actual reasons are for the upcoming bans?

@Something Funny, drink some tasty, authentic wine. Wines are the best! It helps me in my thinking, changes my mood, and is very enjoyable. Sometimes it helps me get to the states that I was in when doing meditation. The only time I got nauseous was when I drank the whole bottle of whiskey. I was feeling like I was endlessly drifting in circles on the ice when I was in my bed. However, I can't understand why people still drink vodka. The taste is bad, it burns your mouth too much, and you get drunk pretty quickly so that you might lose consciousness.

At least I can join you guys.

He is either lucky or the program is not too random, so he has gained some intuition about the workings of that location guessing game.

What's there to love about dinosaurs?

Luckily, I'll visit there for a few days before that happens. Although, I can always try salvia and truffles. So then visiting Canada next it is!

@PurpleTree, what's important is how the facts or "facts" are presented to the people. Christians tend to do and learn from propaganda because that's what they are familiar with. A person can know one fact about something while getting brainwashed about the rest.

Couldn't agree more about self-hating Christians. Those people will concoct a conspiracy theory out of thin air to justify their hate towards progress. They are more prevalent where I live. For them, everything is about the "degeneration" of the West. My brain hurts when listening to them.

With AI, a person can write rather simple programs. I'm using Claude AI to write a program in Python to automate part of my job so that I can focus less on repetitive stuff. Also, I'm refreshing my knowledge of Python.

@Scholar, there are a portion of people that think those Western NGOs are the problem. They want some Russian NGOs to feel safe. I have never seen a Russian-backed NGO that wasn't doing propaganda. But no, those Western NGOs are there to corrupt the youth and brainwash them with Western values!

Interestingly, those people have NOTHING to loose.
