This was one of the first subjects that came up during philosophy in the first year of high school. It is something that has occupied me on and off for years afterwards.

The assignment was about writing if a robot could be a human. The debate at some point arrived at what ANYTHING was anyway. What is a human? What is a robot? What is a table? What is a chair?


Is saying something is a chair an opinion?

CK2 + all expansions (not including the cosmetic stuff) costs £134.
Total War: Warhammer + all DLC and the incoming expansion (not including the cosmetic stuff) costs £134.

Honestly, I'd say CA are milking us a lot more here.  I've gotten far more mileage out of CK2 (and it's still ongoing) than I'm likely to get out of the entire TW:W series (if we're pretending they're separate games).  And, well, TW:W is guaranteed to have another £40 expansion and a whole new round of DLC for parts two and three, so you can realistically expect to at least double that £134 before it's finished.

Don't get me wrong, they're both fairly awful.  But I'd argue that CA are the greater of two evils here.  If they'd made CK2 most of the counts would be unavailable to play as without mods and we'd be looking at separate DLCs for Scotland, Ireland, Brittany etc etc

Thank god there are sales.

I bought the base game for 20eu and the wood elf dlc for 11.50eu

hmmmmm

Amusing, but the hurricane has killed something like two dozen people, so maybe in poor taste? Not to presume but we do have people from Texas here.

Twas' a sore subject in Jersey for some time after Sandy.

mismanagement of a country costs a lot more than 2 dozen lives though.

I have always felt the taboo on cannibalism is rather overrated.

It was always my impression that the tribes doing it ate the dead with great dignity and respect. It was a way of passing on the strength of the deceased person unto yourself.

I get the impression that there were fights during the entire day before the car murder.

Yeah, a lot of that is because the night before a few hundred Nazi supporting fucks surrounded about thirty-ish protesting students and beat the shit out of them with lit torches. The day after you had the occasional pepper spray and brawl, which was something between incredibly brave and pretty stupid for the counter-protesting folks considering the marchers were littered with shits carrying firearms.

Then the nazi shit killed someone in a terrorist attack, and soon thereafter the president bothsides the event as swaths of the right wing either embraced the literally fucking murderous Nazi shitbag or pointedly refrained from criticizing him and/or the other Nazis and people marching right beside goddamn Nazis.

I am actually surprised these things don't escalate into full blown firefights more often.

So basically you have to be high on drugs to be pro-immigrants?

Response to a terror attack should be to respond to the terrorists, through state approved means.

Burning flags, tearing down statues in mob justice style gatherings, and being general ne'r-do-wells is not the appropriate way to deal with terrorists.

It is not wrong to point that out.

"Mob justice" refers to killings, beatings, or running people out of town.  A statue isn't a person.  You're conflating violence and non-violence.

And that still doesn't answer my question.  We were talking about antifa's "violence" before either of those things happened.  Hell, I think it came up within a couple hours of the attacks.  What is it about the Charlottesville attacks that made you want to go extra hard on the counterprotestors?  Why are the perceived misgivings of the counterprotestors relevant here?

There has been plenty of antifa violence and harassment in the past.

here is one:

edit: ok that is some shitty right wing site, but they were the first link that had the arrest news and the video on the same page.
