Still didnt read the article, where it has an entire section explaining that the contest is between psychologists saying its fake, and media outlets and cops saying its real.

Youre hammering my point home my guy, and hitting every finger you have on the way there

You didnt read your own link, huh

“and in fact it is a “contested illness” due to doubts about the legitimacy of the condition”

Literally in the opening blurb

You said the exact same thing I said, but more verbose.

But nice job wacking yourself off about it while you did, shame you didnt cum.

… Bad actors who all have ties to american religious institutions.

Education slashed by religious politicians backed by religious pundits and think tanks.

Media run by religious big wigs who push puritan religious values on their channels.

Culture pushes driven by religious talking heads who repeat religious talking points about religious traditions and beliefs on all topics from science to gender to race to politics.

Its still religion, youre just pointing at both of its arms and claiming its two people.

We understand it fine, republicans slashed education and dems didnt bother to fight it.

A stupid populus is more easily manipulated, and they wanted votes.

Stockholm syndrome isnt real my guy, some cops made it up to hand wave why captives called them out for risking their lives more than the kidnappers had.

Kinda like how youre hand waving people clearly telling you that a shit service still fulfills a service, and not having alternative examples to pivot to means people who need the service filled will use shit service over no service.

Who cares? Israel has about as much standing to speak for jews as my local pastor has for speaking as the pope.

The living victims of the holocaust dont agree with you.

Because I wasnt born yesterday, and dont spend my time with my head lodged firmly up my own asshole?

Look at how broad that legalese is. Ask yourself if auto application would make them more money. Now count what 2 + 2 is on your fingers.

So its cool if I slit your throat for some paintings then

This is a really weird way to try and deflect thinking paint matters more than human lives.

You think maybe this is why no one wants to discuss this with you, and keeps telling you to go sit with whatever the fuck youve got in your head that makes you think paint matters more than people?

Thats a damning statement on yourself

I dont know how to explain to you that human lives matter more than scraps of painted cloth. It seems this is a lesson people frequently dont know how to explain to you.

If a trade between a human life and some dumbass paintings has you calling the paint stained cloth as the hostages, you need to go sit alone in a dark room for a while and do some deep introspection on exactly what the fuck is wrong with you dude

Why are money and culture more important than life?

Im pretty sure the majority of lives are worth more than some toxic pastes smeared on a thin scrap of textile leavings.

Tbf if an EV is burning you probably need an electric fire extinguisher, instead of the normal type thats for more common fire fuels.

I definitely dont. Ive shared a fuckload of stories without ever consulting the copyright holder.

You dont need to sell stories to share them.

Path of Exile.

Its 100% free, so you can play it like a demo until you are either fully in or bored.

It gets a season refresh every 3ish months with an entirely new mechanic, so most experienced players restart it 4 times a year, play a new build, and then stop playing when bored and return at the new season so its always got reasons to peek back in and see if you want to rejoin.

The leveling system is a little daunting at first, but the base game is completely playable newbie blind even if you pick “suboptimally” from the skill tree. If youre too worried about FoMo, there are tons of guides online for builds, both top level and newbie friendly.

The attack/skill system is very interesting and completely moddable, tons of replayablility.

If you like diablo, try PoE.

There are cheap flappy clones you can get pretty easily.

Hell, take a beginners gaming programming class and make it yourself, if you genuinely love the gameplay that much. Its not that complex, and would probably make a good first project to work towards.

So, it could be any of the 3/4ths of sitting politicians
