They are just getting more and more expensive now. Even the old consoles are getting price raises new in the box. The whole market is shifting. Honestly, just get a decent PC and emulate (just buy legal copies). It's the overall best value I believe. You can play a lot of games on your phone too.

False dichotomy. If you come with some good faith arguments I'll respond seriously. It's still light relative to mass murder or serial rape. And I'm sure there's still room for parole and early release under such a system, like due to crowding or a pandemic. Also, why not just kill them at that point if you have sufficient evidence? It's not so much about revenge as it is about fairness. Even monkeys understand fairness. And even then, who you are you to say people aren't allowed to want revenge or feel anger about a crime? Your saying people shouldn't feel upset about a horrible crime. Its again this liberal tendency to empathize more with criminals than victims. Liberals just ignore the whole fairness aspect to make a technocratic argument as if that is not in of itself a partial stand. It quickly becomes very armchairy and ideological in my opinion.

The internet is full of echochambers, to the point where the opposite is the exception. It takes intentionality to not become one in a lot of cases. Here you can freely discuss in good faith the intersectionality between incest taboo and culture without getting banned (true story). They can't handle the spice.

Just wait and buy second hand. You don't need to play on release. It's an old game you already played before with a new coat of paint.

Success is the culmination of constructive habits. Without knowing the right principles and concepts you won't get far. Genetics alone can't teach you.

Rat genocide. A fun little outing for the whole family. Good exercise for the dogs and its poison free and humane 😊

I like and live by a large amount of Leo's framework which he has represented over the years. It's hard to point at any one insight because I hardly remember. I take a lot of this stuff for granted. One of my favorites though is that finitude is the root cause of conflict. It explains so much.

Read my previous comments. You could probably release Breivik tomorrow and it would be fine in terms of him not killing anyone anymore, but that would be unacceptable socially and politically when he's a known mass murderer. Justice is not purely a technical question of safety. People expect and want the justice system to deliver a degree of fairness when people commit crimes. Good luck convincing people otherwise.

Destiny streams are some of the laziest content I've ever seen when he's not debate lording. He just plays some video for minutes straight while playing some game and occasionally says something . People work harder just to get up in the morning. -
You will be less lonely when your busy developing your talents and absorbed in working on projects. It can be more meaningful than socializing if you find something fascinating and important to strive for and your building a big ticket item over the long-term. Being alone is a fact. Being lonely is a subjective feeling. It's a kind of present moment FOMO. You can be lonely in a crowd.

I have a nose for BS. When I first saw him going viral I immediately resisted watching any of his content. I only seen some analysis of him, who have all been skeptical of his claims. If something is worth knowing it'll eventually circle back around to you a lot of the time. No need to get swept up by the algo. -
I believe it's a constitutional thing, but I think Americans should perhaps stop televising court cases, at least with maybe high profile ones. With high profile cases like this it turns too much into a circus and it biases the jury too much. Unpopular jurors get stalked and harassed, which chills the prospect of being a holdout juror in the future.

I'm not going to satisfy your autistic need for specifics. It's silly. I've been pretty clear, and if you don't understand them that's on you at this point. I'm done repeating myself and going in circles. The death penalty is a workable solution. It's group think all the way down. Very typical of leftoid circles. Especially relative to trans stuff, because they flip flop between advocating womens rights to later advocating trans rights at the cost of womens rights. Like trans in women sports or doctors calling women "person with uterus". Or trans in women bathrooms, etc.

Yup. It's culture war. They are treating this case for what it represents politically to them at the exclusion of the case itself. I think if she strangled 3 dogs to death instead of babies they would want her hanged.

Irrelevant appeal to authority. The technical minutia doesn't really matter to the spirit of a good standard. Basically, when there's zero doubt, which I believe is indisputably possible.
