I’m not sure I entirely agree about the personal responsibility.
I mean, it feels right that people are responsible for the views they hold and the actions they take based on them.
Otoh it also feels like blaming the addict for their addiction or the cult member for being exploited.
I’m really conflicted and I don’t think I can reach a clear cut conclusion.
Here ya go bud.
I understand wanting out of echo chambers but this has been everywhere for awhile.
Every accusation is projection.
Imho League is an ok game with great lore and a terrible community.
Omg I have no clue how you understood anything from my previous comment.
It was such a mess lmao
iff is the shorthand for “if and only if”.
If you said “if it is a horse it has hooves” you can infer “all horses have hooves” but not that “all hooved creatures are horses”.
Otoh if you said “iff a polygon has 3 sides, it is a triangle” you can infer that all polygons that have 3 sides are triangles and that there are no other ways to make triangles.

Iffs in the wild make me happy.
Pineapples are a freak fruit though.They grow on some kind of weird weed like some kind of joke.
Also apples used to be small, tart, and acidic.
You wouldn’t eat them as a dessert but as a basis for brewing alcohol.
It’s wild how much fruits changed in recent times.
So much so that most zoo are stoppimg giving them to animals and switched to more leafy greens. They have gotten so sugary that they promoted tooth decay and obesity.
Yeah, it doesn’t even sound that out of place in informal conversation.
I’m neither American nor a native English speaker so take it with a grain of salt.
That’s where I’d put the line between a regular prepper and a doomsday prepper.
Not to forget the very elusive Sergent Prepper.
As a young lass excited for an amazing carrier opportunity? I might.
What a weird ass way to phrase that question.
A long rifle strapped to an e-bike is the kind of mental picture I needed in my day, thanks.
Why can’t leftists have some guns?
Nope, just plain ole terrorism.

To clarify I meant responsibility like when people act on their shitty beliefs (e.g. Jan6).
I don’t know. It feels like such a losing battle.
Maybe it all boils down to the dumb luck of coming across the right viewpoints at the right moment? But we’re in a world where you fall so easily into echo chambers where you won’t see those viewpoints, get increasingly isolated, and your social relationships hinge more and more around these beliefs…
And that’s a scary thought.
I was lucky and grew past my Catholic conservative upbringing. But I might’ve not as well. I would’ve missed everything that makes my current life worth living…
In the meantime this is a situation that has been ongoing since the advent of mass media. It has evolved, became more individualized and targeted, but its core hasn’t really changed since at least the beginning of the 20th century. And still we haven’t found a satisfying response since then.
