Congratulations, I never thought I would meet someone that could convince me that the simulation paradox was absolute garbage in the way you did here.
Can I borrow you to help destroy other paradoxes?

Is that your coup de grâce?
Let me tell you a story about my daughter when she was a teenager. She had a guy friend and one time they were playing around trying to one up each other and he said he lost his virginity to his babysitter when has was thirteen. My daughter immediately apologized and said she was sorry that happened to him. He was confused because no one had ever explained to him that he was raped. He had a realization that day.
I was very proud of my daughter. I am not sure what part of social worker you don’t understand.
At any rate, in this study you neglect to realize that man on man rape far exceeds woman on man rape unless you are counting molestation. Read that again, the majority of rapes are from other men.
I have worked closely with crisis shelters and I have seen all walks of life. That is how I see through the bullshit.

Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults that occur, only about 310 are reported. Of those, approximately 50 lead to an arrest, 28 cases result in a felony conviction, and onlyb25.perpetrators end up incarcerated.
This stats do not show an epidemic of men getting convicted and actually shows the polar opposite. A society that is indifferent to SA.
Up to 30% of men in college will admit to committing a SA. Those are the ones willing to admit. How many men get kicked out of college for SA?
Meanwhile large universities found that, on average, colleges suspend only 1 in every 12,400 students and expel only 1 in every 22,900 students annually for sexual misconduct.
Woah sounds like no one is doing shit. This is the reality that dwarfs you fantasy about men losing everything.
The few that do generally deserve it, but I am sure you can drum up some questionable cases. These pale in comparison to reality and trying to consider an outlier as what is common is just pure ignorance on anyone’s part that does.
So no, the reality is almost no one faces any consequences at all.

Yeah going to have to call bullshit here. First of all a retroactive no is not something that is a chargeable offense. Most SA goes unreported and only a small fraction of what is reported is ever investigated and even a smaller amount is ever successfully prosecuted.
She said he said is usually ignored by the police so it never reaches anywhere close to what you seem concerned about. Not only is this backed up by statistical evidence, as a social worker and a person whose had the privilege to talk to many women about this I can attest that only a couple out of hundreds ever got any justice.
The whole lives ruined thing is a misnomer that is born out with tons of men in power who never get in trouble. You hear about a few cases of men being held accountable and somehow extrapolate that into a common occurrence. It isn’t.
You can even look to POTUS who is an epic rapist still walking free after thousands of SAs in his lifetime. The Metoo movement turned out to be a sad joke with only a small handful of men in power successfully prosecuted. The backlash against the Metoo movement has been epic though with police, prosecutors, and judges all ensuring that justice will never be served.
If you don’t feel that any women would ever consent to have sex with you without changing her mind later, you are welcome to that opinion. Considering your mindset I would actually agree with you here as consent is less about yes and more about caring for another person.
On the other hand, if you get to know someone and build trust over time and they like you in that way things will happen naturally. I am hoping that you experience this if you are open to it. As you said it, it really is that simple.

Naw, patents are great. As an American, I also believe we should allow math and physics to be patented. Why allow the natural world to exist without profiting from it.
I personally am eyeing a patent on gravity.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 5 days ago:
Normal citizens!? The cost of patent litigation can range from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 on average per side.
I am sorry, but I have yet to meet a normal citizen that can afford a cost like this.

Meh, they don’t like to be called tankies so you are already being deregatory. I am also guilty of saying similar things and I am never surprised when I get down voted. Even if you go with campism and campist, which is more accurate, they don’t like that either. Truth hurts I guess.
They are always coming from, “this is all western imperialists propaganda.” First of all, most people know this and every bit of propaganda has some truth to it. When the CIA or some other propaganda machine picks up on what China or Russia is doing and then projects it is not always a lie. It is often built on a truth.
This is also true for Russian and Chinese propaganda. Being able to sort what is true and what is conjecture is important to understanding propaganda. ML cannot do this with Western Propaganda, they can only suss out their teams propaganda and they usually do a horrible job at it.

I think the Henry Ford stuff is verifiable on the Internet. You can also lookup pre WW2 Nazism in the US.

Funny how all the major parks in US cities and highways just happen to always destroy a minority neighborhood.

The US helped to found and popularize the Nazi party. Ford and other industrialist literally bank rolled the Nazi empire. Ford built factories in Germany and let them keep the profits. Nazism was very popular in the US because its policies were based off US policies.
Hitler was inspired by the way the US genocided the Native Americans. This is where the Holocaust came from. When Hitler initially decided to expel the Jews wealthy industrialists lobbied the US government not to take them in. They helped stroke anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe and ensured that no other country would take them in.
This lead to the final solution. IBM and other US companies gave material support to the Nazi. Those numbers tattooed on Jewish prisoners were from a census system IBM developed. Later, they used their computing power to figure out how many jews to ship from the ghettos to the death camps without backing anything up. Basically they handled the logistics of the Holocaust.

Everything is more expensive so we will pay the most important part of the business, the employees who need the money to live, even less. This only makes sense in bizzaro land.

People are looking at this the wrong way. The insertion side is not coated in flaming Cheetos dust it is the other side of the applicator you touch. That way you can lick your fingers afterwards.

Oh yeah, showing your true colors. You probably take a stray dog home but ignore a homeless man.

So your Team Golden Retriever!? I guess we know who to send when you need medical treatment. I hope tail wags can cure what ails you!
- Comment on They are better than people and unfortunately die so young compared to us 1 week ago:
Going to have to call bullshit.
Times I have stepped in human shit: 0
Times I have stepped in dog shit: 100+
Times I have had a good conservation with dog: 0
Times I have had a good conversation with people: countless
Times my life has been saved by a doctor: 4
Times my life has been saved by a dog: 0
Conclusion: Dogs are not better than people. Next time your house catches on fire try calling a golden retriever instead of the fire department and let me know how that works out.

Because they have told me so on many occasions.
I once had a lot of respect for leftists, that was before I got to know ML.
Now I rarely run into a leftist I can agree with. The majority here are campists who live in an alternative reality of Russian/China disinformation.

I lived in rural Idaho during the Obama years and I can’t count the times I had to hear people joking about lynching him. My kids even reported to me their peers would regularly fantasize about shooting the President on the school bus. It was a real eye opener for me and I lost what little respect I had for conservatives.

MLs are cool as long as it is “their” billionaires. See China pumping out more billionaires than the US and Russian oligarchy. These billionaires good, US bad.
I personally hate all billionaires so I can’t see eye to eye with them.
