    You forgot 'Christianity'.

    It's rooted down to basic biology. At the most base level, women are birth and life and men are war. Spoken like someone who hadn't had a biology class since high school. Spoken like a petty woman. Do you, or do you not have a background in biology beyond a basic high school education?

    I see no inherent contradiction between "he is stupid" and "he knows how to play people in order to get his way through".

    There are many different kinds of intelligence; consequently, there are also many different kinds of stupidity.

    Probably E, all of the above.

    Top of his class, everybody!

    you belong in a more serious conversation

    "This is a loaded term, and not really applicable to the situation anyway, so how about not using it" is two arguments, technically. The fact that you don't find the first argument convincing (or, for that matter, find it to be counter-factual) doesn't make the argument disappear, but questions of whether it's flawed or not are orthogonal to the issue of whether it was the sole argument in favor of not using the term

    'was an expression used' Seems you missed an important word.. and the article also points out how it was most often used in regards to sexual assault. so... "but it's certainly not an expression appropriate for this situation." Seems you missed an important statement as he is directly applying it in his lecture to Sharp_one. So... I think the gist of his argument was that - as Rosbjerg pointed out - there really are no victims here, at least not in sense victimology uses the term, so "victim blaming" makes no sense even if we ignore concerns of appropriateness or lack thereof.

    Or charismatic, for that matter?

    But of course Sharpie wears his ignorance and unwillingness to treat people with respect as a badge of honor, so it's certainly appropriate to the speaker.

    I'd say if people are gullible enough to take Breitbart at face value, that's on them and has nothing to do with "the mainstream media" or "the left".

    Just like Brexit couldn't have happened and Trump couldn't have become president, right?

    A poorly written article, from what I'm seeing.

    "ever think about how bad we had to **** up to create a world where robots taking all the jobs is somehow a bad thing?"
  19. aluminiumtrioxid
    On deeply flawed studies, to boot!
  20. aluminiumtrioxid
    Well this certainly shows how far we've come.
  21. aluminiumtrioxid
    So, the fact that they're CRPGs?
  22. aluminiumtrioxid
    OK, you do realize the US has about 85% of what you are asking for here right? oh my sweet summer child...
  23. aluminiumtrioxid
    Well, maybe look harder then. The common element is their longing for a return to a past they see as better, characterized by blind discipline, nationalism (with or without racialist tints), little tolerance for deviation from the social norms, political authoritarianism in diverse forms, etc. It's important to note that this representation of the past may or may not be accurate, but accuracy is less important than the feels from romantizicing the past. In short: reactionarism. The necessary and sufficient condition to be considered part of the alt-right. Conservatism in general is like that. You want to preserve a past that possibly didn't even existed to begin with. Preserving something that has never existed sounds like an oxymoron to me.

    But the real question on everyone's minds here is, I think: ...can you execute her in a sufficiently painful and messy way for her insolence?

    Overall writing seems to be better than in Pillars. And the world is more interesting. But no, if Pillars of Eternity was written by whiny emo/goth kid who wants to be dark, so is Tyranny. (This just proves you didn't spend a lot of time reading stuff that emo/goth kids actually write.) Yeah, stuff like Age of Decadence! *ducks*
