I am a complex character who can't be described in a few words
I doubt it so much fools people as much as it makes people not want to say what they really think because they think it'll make them seem stupid, or not hip to the art yo yo
okay
The point isn't the Tidus laughter, it's the writing To quote a guy on twitter "Actual joke from Big Bang Theory: A nerd... goes on a date! With a GIRL! Hilarious!"
so great
Everything he makes is either a rap, or in some way a meta sort of thing. His channel has basically become a deconstruction of what a youtube channel is
Big Bang Theory is awful?
Oh yeah, I love Yungtown
You respond with violence in self defense. If not for the moral reason of not hurting someone, then because picking a fight with someone is stupid, they might be stronger than you, they might be trained on formal combat. On top of that, throwing the first blow can have legal ramifications. Of course, this is all an ideal. In practice we have emotions, but the best outcome is rarely to get physical at all. Oh, and premeditating an attack on someone after something happens as far as I'm concerned immediately makes it the attackers fault, they chose what basically amounts to vigilante justice rather than going to the authorities. Though this can be a context thing, if the authorities can't be trusted for whatever reason
I used to be pretty pro authority, when I was younger. Everyone around me insisted my life would work out if I just did everything right, so I did. But that let me down. So I'm very against the concept of blind trust in authority, but I'm also pretty aware of how much people need it. Honestly, in a slightly different world, I could have been right there with you, in your beliefs, but I'm not, for whatever reasons. I think a core of that is that power requires responsibility. The prospect of having power is enticing, but terrifying. Imagine somehow being presented with every single possible life path before you. How would you choose? That's the terror of choice. But let someone else help you? Push you along? It's pretty easy to assume someone else knows what they're doing better than you. I mean, that's how I feel when I'm in these debates. It always feels like the person I'm talking too is so confident they're right that they MUST be, because I didn't feel nearly as confident. Now about weak desires, are you referring to wanting to lower the complexity of life, or the black coffee thing? I'm not quite clear on that, so I'll just address both. I'd be hard pressed to believe that people don't desire simplification of life. That's one of the core driving forces in a human being. We always gravitate to the option with the least effort and greatest payoff. And it doesn't have to be a physical payoff, doing something harder for a moral purpose or for someone you care about is still paying you in a karma sort of way. With black coffee? It's a well documented thing. Lots of people love sugary coffee, but in tests they often say they like black coffee because they think it makes them look cooler. I actually have a perfectly related example. Me and my friend were talking about Assassin's Creed. Now if you or anyone reading this doesn't know, on a bare level, Assassin's Creed is about the conceptual battle of freedom versus control, represented by the Assassin's and the Templars respectively. At one point my friend asked "What do you think, are you more of an Assassin or a Templar? I'm definitely more of an Assassin" except he's really not. His entire life was planned for him by his parents. He became a life guard because they said so, he takes the classes they tell him to, he constantly asks why I don't trust politicians and companies, heck, he has so much brand loyalty he literally named his dog Nike, and his hamster (or gerbil or something) Umbro. But it's much cooler to be the guys all about freedom and stuff, right? And that's the thing, it's fun and easy to TALK about freedom, but true freedom is terrifying! And what's the natural reaction to fear? To desire comfort? What's comforting? An authority figure. Er, if you kill everyone, don't forget me, the guy who kinda sorta doesn't disagree with you when you build your new empire ._. You're proposing exposing a person to a word in a way that somehow disallows them from viewing it with modern bias, correct? But what makes your definition correct instead of the others' is arbitrary. One definition just came first. Change history slightly you you could change the words, or replace them with new words, or eliminate them entirely. So by just telling a person your definition of the word, that's no different than any other government trying to censor something. A person needs to come to terms with the word by on their own, and your reason for not giving up and trying to explain it to them? Trust that humans aren't inherently stupid. Almost everybody knows the old definition of gay.
People don't want leader because they're told anarchism won't work. They want leaders for... well. Lots of reasons. People want a God so they can cope with death and misfortune. People want a President they can do what they want but for no risk, and then they can blame the President if they do something they don't like. Kids don't want authority, but they need it to learn basic stuff that they irrationally don't want to at a young age. Parents want this because it makes raising the kid easier. We want police because they can be a middle man that protects people from basic acts of violence or criminality. Seriously, what about crazy stalker exes in this system? If there's no authority that can keep them away from a person, what stops them? HOPEFULLY a community watch? That's also not sympathetic to him? Or being bribed? A big reason we want authorities on many other aspects of our lives though? Because life is complicated. Being in charge of everything to do with yourself is a lot of work. For a lot of people it's not just impractical, it's impossible People think it's good in theory ( I very much doubt universally) but a lot of people can see flaws, and honestly, it's probably a black coffee syndrome anyways. Everybody LOVES to talk about how they love freedom and equal rights and stuff, but in reality most people are a lot more boring than that. The concept of freedom is cool and enticing... but it's a burden, too, and honestly too much for most people to handle. It's so easy to listen to someone, you know? On that last bit, isn't forcing people to view the word without a stigma kinda counter intuitive? Surely the only way for someone to TRULY grasp this would be for them to come to terms with the old definition themselves. Otherwise they're jsut being fed another definition, not truly understanding it

It's not canon though, even the intro of BBS has the capes, and they kept it on the Lingering Will fight, too

oh nonono, I'm a Canadian
What eliminates the possibility for profit in this system though? Is there no money? Is everyone given what they want freely? If a person volunteers to make a community watch, how does this prevent them from being corrupt cops, or abusing their power? (also, I dunno about you, but unpredictable sounds like the exact opposite of order) And my murder case is an extreme one, referring to accidental murder. What happens then in this situation? There are no official channels to go through for reparations, and no technical reason why a person can't revenge kill someone, just a moral obligation. I don't know about you, but when playing multiplayer games that require co-op there is almost always one person who tries to take the role of leader, or wants to make progress as a reaction to the rest not doing things 'right' This is especially true in cases where one person has more skill than the others, they tend to gravitate naturally to a position of power.
Whatever, cistar
