I am not a big account, and do not have reach; Nearly all of my followers are duplicate accounts of people posting donation appeals.

Traditionally I think you will find that "Being a fucking idiot" or as you put it, "Position 2," has a much lower bar for entry

Mamdani: Like Yachiyo at Gingarou Hotel, I promise to make New York welcoming, safe and affordable

Cuomo: Ponko is a menace. As mayor I will destroy her

Silwa: For years Environment Checker Robot tortured my uncle by giving false climate reports. He can't watch the Weather Channel without crying

see the problem with the second position is that its advocates are almost exclusively complete idiots

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

We're not billionaires or even millionaires, but we are quite comfortable.

My father also does not exploit people; He is a highly skilled laborer and actually gets exploited a lot himself. His refusal to do unethical stuff is another reason why were are merely upper middle class.

My family is not as rich as it could be because my parents aren't evil. If they *were* evil, we'd be RICH rich. But they're not, so instead most of it goes into my mom's charity.

My brother was like "Who can afford a switch 2" and I was thinking "My brother in christ we are upper middle class. The only reason you cannot afford one is because you spend all your money on takeout."

Echika's "Superhumanity" skill is excellent, it's just that it buffs her stats from "atrocious" to "sub par."

If you spend money on Gatcha Games, you are a victim. If you are someone who is genuinely a free player, you are a CULPRIT.
Because the game NEEDS free players in order to camouflage what they are doing.

I was a gambling addict for more than a decade thanks to that shit. I'm clean now, and have been for years, but I see it happening to people all around me.

Forg Solidarity 👊🐸🍁 @redliberation.bsky.social · 1d

Gatcha games should be illegal. At least when a trading card game goes belly up, you still have and can continue to play with the cards.

And TCGs should not be legal either.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

No, the switch to the limited release model is entirely an attempt to dupe people through FOMO.

No offense, but this is absolutely not true. Each of those flavors will have absolute diehard fans and "unimportant variety" is entirely subjective.

I was good at catching pokemon because THAT was largely about setting up shots, which requires more in the way of tactical thinking than fast reactions.

Forg Solidarity 👊🐸🍁 @redliberation.bsky.social · 1d

Sneaking around and throwing pokeballs at pokemon? I fucking *loved* that. Dodging attacks while throwing balms at bosses? That, was a goddamn nightmare. My reaction times and coordination have always been poor.

Really torn by ZA. I was super hyped for it, but from what I have read, the gameplay appears to embrace a lot of what I haaaaaaated from Arceus.

Norway literally did this at the end of WW2. It was called the "Legal Purge" and consisted of a series of trials followed by executions. The whole thing was very aboveboard.

I'm at the point where I think all of these Nazi traitors need to be put on trial and honestly..... At this point I think my Mercy and everything has run completely dry..... These evil monsters need to be given the death penalty. They've hurt too many people.

Mu La Flaga also routinely flew circles around Coordinators while being a natural himself.

Forg Solidarity 👊🐸🍁 @redliberation.bsky.social · 1d

The person giving the orders in battle for the Three Ship Alliance, in both tv shows and the movie, is Murrue Ramius. A NATURAL. And the series best tactician was Natarle, who is ANOTHER NATURAL.

Forg Solidarity 👊🐸🍁 @redliberation.bsky.social · 1d

These facts are INTENTIONAL. Because the whole point is that yeah, Coordinators are capable of some stuff that naturals aren't, but at the end of the day they are still just people. Coordinators can run fast and learn lots of stuff, but it does not make them better people.

Forg Solidarity 👊🐸🍁 @redliberation.bsky.social · 1d

Arthun himself, while a coordinator, is decidedly a follower and tends to outsource his thinking to other people, mostly because he himself is a downright fucking moron.
