A souls-like must have a couple of the following:

  1. video game where the difficulty can be incorporated into the player's identity.

  2. a conspiracy between monitor and controller manufacturers

  3. Difficulty modes are forbidden.

  4. has an easy mode called "magic build"

  5. Story, narrative, and plot are all forbidden. The player can learn about the world, but cannot affect it.

  6. Sekiro is the best one.

You're being dishonest. The definition of the words rules out the undesirable conclusion. People can't do anything in the name of atheism.

If "Religion poisons everything" then removing the poison should rehabilitate the patient, no? So please demonstrate that secular societies are more benevolent than religious ones. Show me that those who invented industrial murder are morally superior to ad-hoc killers.

Did you know that the word genocide was coined to describe the actions of a government who was actively trying to secularize?

This is just dishonest politics by the Democrat party. Everybody knows that there is considerable overlap between the Federalist Society and the sex offender registry. Why, two of the SCOTUS justices are known sex creeps.

This is a semantic game. The honest question is that does becoming more secular make one more moral? I've never seen anybody make the case for that (though plenty love to imply it w/o evidence).

Can we agree that Israel is more secular than her neighbors? Is Israel's government or people more benevolent? It's a trope that Muslims are violent, but compared to just half a century of secular Europe's World Wars, Islam is a blameless kitten.

That couch is from a milk bar in A Clockwork Orange.

I think you've inadvertently demonstrated the problem with calling out media "bias".

as though it were a neutral source of truth.

I would be interested to lean what, if anything, you'd say meets this description.

These manosphere motherfuckers are so funny to anyone who got past bio101 because they're all stuck in a world where evolution is poorly understood and genetics don't exist.

I imagine these guys dressed as 18^th^ century dandies because why should their clothes be any more modern than their science? (Jordan Peterson organically dresses this way)

This is America. You need corporate sponsors, rich benefactors, or wealthy parents to get to the Olympics. Athletic talent is essential, but not sufficient.

It's 2027, the AI killer app never came, but LLMification has produced an unimaginable glut of mediocre media and the most popular AI application is to use it to find human sourced material.

The stock market is like a ship on fire, but you can buy video cards for pennies on the dollar.

motive

I think the Las-Vegas concert shooter and this wannabe assassin are the vanguards in a coming trend where shooters conceal their motives and planning. Vexing a public thirsty for meaning is just one more way these malignant suicides can lash out.

Who gives a shit?

It makes no practical difference is Trump was shot, nearly shot, or caught shrapnel. It just seems like a weird thing to fight over.
