Agreed, but the reason this is done to him from my understanding is that he does this sort of ad hominem attack on others and is a bully, generally, so why shouldn’t people point out his superficial flaws as well? Especially when he continually tries to rewrite history that none of this happened because his ego is so fragile?

If he was a standup billionaire (heh, oxymoron there), people wouldn’t feel like attacking things like this were acceptable.

But because he’s a gigantic douchenozzle who regularly bullies people for things exactly like this, including his own family, it’s game on.

Of mind. Seriously. Reach out to your buddies you haven’t heard from in a few weeks. And don’t stop doing that. They’ll appreciate it, and so will you.

My dear lasagna.

I invested in an Areon chair and have zero regrets. Best decision I ever made. I work as a software engineer, and also game in my spare time. So sitting around is a lot of what I do unfortunately.

This. This one was a rough lesson to learn.

Not all of the kids have to be theirs either.

You raise some fair criticisms of my response and have given me some things to think about and consider.

And to update the American example then:

I’ll take a sixth helping of meatballs please.

You understand that prejudice has a specific malicious intent behind it, correct? That it’s prejudiced “with intent” for something nefarious that’s being hidden behind the veil of racist remarks.

Go ahead and tell us which one of those racist behaviors is on display here.

If Italian people were offended by this, or this limited their upward travel potential in the professional world, or was a way to hide derogatory behavior that people found undesirable by “dog whistling”, then it would qualify.

Unless you can point that out in this case, I think your sense of social justice is misplaced for what is just normal, tame, cultural fun poking.

Here, we’ll include Americans in the meme:

Amer-E-cans: The police were called to handle a domestic disturbance at a nearby home. There were no survivors.

Looking at the downvotes, it looks like everyone disagrees with you.

Italy walks the talk with its own stereotypes. And they take that quite seriously.

There’s a reason the Allies kept trying to assassinate Hitler during WW2, and it wasn’t because they thought it was a bad plan to end the war.

Not saying I agree or disagree with you. Just sayin’ how it happened last time.

That is correct. That’s what it’s like living here every day. Though largely it’s just two categories.

The people your meet are either ignorant religious nut jobs, or they’re not from the south.

This is the only real answer here.

Every other answer is in some way just making your perception of time accelerate.

But the only way to process emotional loss, of a close loved one; is with time. That’s just the way our brains are wired. We couldn’t survive as a species if we didn’t get numb to pain and trauma in the past.

Those are apologetics. There’s no point in time where faith has ever required proof or evidence. Trust is not a better translation. Trust can be broken between two people and requires a mutual exchange of equals. That is not what religion is. It is not two equal parties exchanging trust. It’s one party with all the perceived power telling the other how it’s going to be without being able to change the rules, disagree, doubt, etc. It requires total and complete faith to accept. Not trust. Faith.

So while what you wrote sounds nice, it’s all bullshit.

Portugal.

I love the little kitty ear protection. We need more cat PPE.

He already mentioned it was a religious thing, so chances are slim that the game is grounded in anything approaching logic.

So much back pain.

The difference is literally life and death.

Animals are always on the bubble of life or death. Always. Everything is always about to kill/eat them, or something they might be able to kill/eat, so it’s a mix of curiosity and fear.

When that deer beat the shit out of your friend and his buddies, it was a life or death thing the deer was contending with thinking it was about to be killed and eaten, so nothing’s off the table to get out of that situation.

Meanwhile, your buddy and his friends were drunk and doing it for the lulz.

Deer will always win with those stakes.
