@criver I'm curious; what example of natural empathy are you referring to? The empathy of assorted apes, where rape and crude torture happen naturally? The empathy of lions and tigers, who slaughter their young if they become too annoying? The empathy of dolphins, for whom casual murder is...

@CBAROG @criver If you actually knew a fraction as much about the Bible as you claim, you would know full well that the Old Testament and the New Testament serve completely different purposes. The Old Testament is a historical recounting intended to show Christians what came before them and why...

What most of you forget is that Christianity, specifically Catholicism and certain varieties of Protestantism, is the reason slavery was ended in the West. In the East, Middle and Far where Christianity is not the dominant ideology for over a thousand years, slavery is still alive and well...

This whole Melra side of the story reminds me of something I heard once (paraphrasing): "If you actually study the history of humanity, you find that despite all the good we do human life tends to be nasty, brutal, violent, dishonest, and short. To the people who embrace this and abandon all...

Okay, at this point it's a moderate certainty that the "goddess" who summoned him gave him cheats without his knowledge. That kind of sustained heat should have at least boiled his eyeballs into slag, and he definitely should be burned.

A Pimp Named Slickback approves.

@Eienge Don't care; -both of them have sold out to google for plug-ins, -both of them are collections of thin-skinned wankers, -neither post here. Not posting here makes them irrelevant; actually knowing them makes them something to actively avoid.

@cor3zone That is absolute blithering horseshit; the sort of intellectually dishonest fuckery that is only imagined in the minds of the massively over-privileged. Assuming Fulio kills Fake efficiently without collateral damage, which is entirely in his power, he is absolutely a morally better...

@Fireboy A crank charger is its own regulator; the quantity of power flow is controlled by the speed of cranking, and as long as the component materials are sufficient there's no risk of overheating.

@Arcara They obey because they're terrified of getting eaten. And yeah, I want to see a Warhound or Reaver titan with at least one chainfist fight this things now :D

@Kazedoom To a certain kind of irl person, social status is more important than money or blood. They will happily piss away ridiculous amounts of wealth and life to make themselves look better. It's not something you see often unless you move in the circles of the super rich, but it does exist.

@InfiniteVerisimilitude Name a problem with "private" healthcare, and I will point you to the socialist government law/policy that either created that problem or made it worse. For the sake of convenience, let's stick to USA since that's the most contentious nation in the modern day. @Qelix...

This trash has more translated chapters than the actual Goblin Slayer Manga? Fucking idiots. 😒

@alidan Yup. One of the most important bits of 20th century history is the interplay between the small group of major America-based Radio / TV News companies before dozens-of-channels cable alternatives came along. Legendary names like Walter Cronkite and Walter Duranty are still considered...

@Cidolfas I worked in news for a few years. This series is a pretty accurate depiction of "reporters" and "journalists". More interested in selling propaganda for a quick buck than any sort of honesty or self-preservation in the field. Yeah, there are decent journalists. They don't last...

@Robbini Bombard is a subtype of cannon, generally used explicitly for siege warfare against fortifications. Mostly defined by having a non-wheeled mounting and short, large caliber barrel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombard_%28weapon%29 @BanditHadron I typically consider rifling a...

@Robbini Cannons have always had that general long tubular shape. Most of the technological advancements in that field have been improvements on firing mechanisms, how the cannon is mounted and transported, ammunition, and the overall metallurgy. It wouldn't be until percussion caps and...

It always angers me when people insult "idealism". Hey fucko, ideas are the literal foundation for why we do the things we do; you might be able to get what you want by being a cynical cunt, but you'll never keep it.

Oh man, that hard bargaining brings back memories. 🤣

This has got to be the most preposterously stupid story for a character I've ever seen.
