this is not true at all. as somebody who unfortunately has had too many conversations with these people, they are staunchly in the pro-israel camp. have you not seen the marches for the UK where they carried israel flags? this is misinformation.
if you say so
see how obvious it was?
It’s just obvious from your way of speaking that this is a rewriting of history, yes you have mentioned some poor world building she has done outside of her literature, that is almost entirely irrelevant to the books she has written.
Calling her works ‘mediocre’ is once again, objectively incorrect and in my opinion (this is an assumption) is fuelled by your own personal feelings towards her.
now do a count per years of release and calculate how many jk rowling would sell if her books were out for the same amount of time?
or is the bible the greatest piece of fiction ever?
does shitting on the floor exist as a major plot point in the series? No?
you are letting your hate for a person obscure the objectivity behind the comments you are replying to.
The UK is leading the western world in renewables in many ways, yet our bills are some of the most expensive.
How is it even possible to afford $800 for insulin? It boggles the mind
The problem is it’s incredible rare to find others that are willing to change their minds in return, so every discussion either involves you changing your mind, or the other person getting agitated.
A discussion in good faith means treating the person you are speaking to with respect. It means not having ulterior motives. If you are having the discussion with the explicit purpose of changing their minds or, in your words, “alarming them to take action” then that is by default a bad faith discussion.
If you want to discuss with a pro-AI person in good faith, you HAVE to be open to changing your own mind. That is the whole point of a good faith discussion - but rather, you already believe you are correct, and are wanting to enter these discussions with objective ammunition to defeat somebody.
How do you actually discuss in good faith? You ask for their opinions and are open to them, then you share your own in a respectful manner. You aren’t trying to ‘win’ you are just trying to understand and in turn, help others to understand your own POV.
With this perspective, is death really a ‘meaning’ to life, or is it rather a ‘fuel’ for more life?
If it’s the latter, then that implies there is another meaning to life. There is a circle which keeps the wheel of life spinning - but where is the wheel going, and why?
The ultimate death of everything, perhaps, in which case I suppose you are correct.
The meaning of life (to you) could be to: “Just be here because here is where we happen to be.”
It’s not that deep, really. Some people want to have an impact, others just want to chill. I’m just curious what people’s first response is to that question and so far I have seen lots of interesting comments.
I’m glad that you have such excellent food even when it’s bad. That you somehow find yourself purveying everything that Britain has to offer - hating it - and also so much of other cuisines for comparison. Omniscient taste buds, I would wager.
So, none of the people mentioned are trans women? Why exactly are you making these comments?
This just reads like ragebait haha. I have had good Indian food and bad Indian food, I’ve had good pasta and bad pasta. If you think that every other cuisine but British is somehow always amazing and always better than British food then I don’t know what to tell you. Go to a tourist trap in Italy and you will have trash that doesn’t compare to even a British Italian chain. Buy panipuri from the wrong guy in India and not only will you shit yourself violently but it will taste like a spicy watery mess.
The only reason I can fathom why anybody would talk so much nonsense is for ragebait purposes. Going from “your cuisine isn’t as good as India’s” to “your food is garbage” is a pretty steep slope.
nobody is gonna convince me of anything now
This is part of the problem. If two people engage in open debate and neither of them can be convinced to change their minds about anything, then what exactly is the point?
I will listen to people and engage with their arguments, and remain openminded to be convinced. Life isn’t that simple and believing you know all the answers is naive.
You’re not wrong, it is definitely an improvement. Fruit pudding is such a weird juxtaposition, like a cinnamon tart, super sweet eaten alongside all of the salty.
Steak and ale pie is so underrated.
who cares what people think? we’re all going to die anyway, just use the words you want to use to say the things you want to say. whether or not you align with a stranger on the internet is only as relevant as you want it to be.
