Right now, because we also have all the cartoons from the past to watch.

Ah yes, because everyone in America thinks the same. Just like in the UK, right?

If you think all the countries of the world can’t do anything, what do you expect your average Joe in America to be able to do? What are you, and your country, specifically doing?

KIngdom of Loathing

Kingdom of Loathing is probably one of the best games ever imo

I’ve never seen a sentence use the same dumb logic it criticizes so succinctly before

Don’t twist it. My point was that there’s people who actively dislike this regime and are doing something about it. It’s too counter the idea that all Americans are for this regime. Your approval of how some people’s tactics is irrelevant, it’s still showing that the people aren’t a monolith.

Yeah, as soon as you say “look the Democrats suck but it’s the best chance we have to not have a Republican in office right now, with how things are now” you get jumped by people going NO NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT ONLY THIRD PARTY YOU’RE A SHILL BLUE NO MATTER WHO IS BULLSHIT BOTH SIDES ARE CAPITALIST AND THE SAME

Yeah, only if you ignore all the people fighting against it

The engineer destroys the planet, those monsters are just trying to fight back against pollution!

Bro came back a week later to keep an argument going he started lololol got mad when I said I didn’t like apple, you wonder where the fanboys get the rep from lolol using this genxboomer ass meme like it’s a dig that’s hilarious

You’re the one who started this thing off by speaking in extremes. Again, you’re taking “sometimes some people don’t support you so you won’t have someone holding your hand 100% of the time” as “it’s logical that you’re going to be alone forever”

If I were to indulge in pedantry, the rule would be against cropping signatures, not requiring they exist. If it’s unsigned then there’s nothing to crop. I like your phrasing much better though, require attribution if you have it.

That’s illogical, binary thinking. Things aren’t so black and white. Some people will have an estimated 98% reliability for emotional support, some might have much lower. It’s circumstantial to the person and the situation.

With your logic, unless something is 100% going to happen, it may as well be 0%. That’s like, almost an inverse of a gambler thinking that even if there’s a miniscule chance of winning the lottery, it’s 100% guaranteed.

Idk mate that’s shifting the blame a bit don’t you think? There’s degrees of culpability, and I think the mad dog is worse than the people sitting on the sidelines. Place the blame squarely in those responsible, rather than open the door to infighting. Idk that’s just my opinion

Did… Did your even read the article you posted?

In humans, there is evidence that infants exhibit altruistic behavior beginning at a young age. For example, infants as young as 14–18 months of age assist others in obtaining out-of-reach objects and help to open cabinets for others.7 Infants engage in these behaviors without reward or encouragement from an adult and expectedly without knowledge of concepts such as reciprocation and reputation.

Previous behavioral research suggests that humans willingly interact with strangers in ways that are beneficial to others, even when it is not in their own best interest.8 Additionally, humans have been reported to continue to engage in altruistic behaviors even in situations when there will be no future interaction.9 Fehr and Fischbacher3 suggest that if two strangers are allowed to engage in repeated anonymous monetary exchanges in the laboratory, there exists a high probability that altruistic behavior will spontaneously emerge. Therefore, these findings propose that there appears to be a natural tendency for humans to exhibit altruistic behaviors.

Literally parenting a child is altruistic in nature. Sometimes, as defined by the article, reciprocal.

Reciprocity, which is similar to altruism in that the action may be harmful to the self and beneficial to another, involves the expectation that the other person will act similarly in a subsequent interaction.

Your perspective is twisted, you need to go out and touch grass and interact with people in person if you think everything is transactional.

So where’s this “logic” you speak of that no one ever does this for anyone, and it’s a universal trait to not have this experience?

Weird, because raising a child, or a child helping a parent, doesn’t really strike me as a transaction. Helping people out isn’t really transactional. None of what you described seemed as a transaction.
