No, that’s not what I’m confused about. I’m not confused about anything. I wasn’t talking about Chapelle, and I’m familiar with the paradigm of tolerance. You’re talking liberalism 101, I’m talking about the ever-encroaching tribalism that is shutting down productive discourse. I shared a more detailed explanation already on another response. I’ll grab it and come back here with a link.
You’re talking about the paradigm of tolerance, which isn’t what I’m referring to at all. I probably didn’t make it clear that I’m not talking about the Chappelle situation. What I meant is that the left is becoming a lot more tribalistic, just like the examples you gave of right wing tribalism at the beginning of your response. I agree that liberalism isn’t engaging in it any more than the right, but we shouldn’t be engaging in it at all. We’re supposed to be the thinking group. How can we be a thinking group if we cast out anyone who presents opposing ideas for things? I’m talking about things like accusing anyone who doesn’t agree with the ideas presented by Beverly DiAngelo of being racist. Or someone not liking a movie starring a gay character being called homophobic, when they just didn’t like the movie. There’s far too much accusation occurring which stifles open discussion, and open discussion is where growth happens.
He was presented with a new viewpoint on gender. He said “no thanks” to considering that viewpoint, which is honestly fine (we’re allowed to have different opinions).
I agree that we should be allowed to have different opinions, but I don’t agree that it’s considered fine by mainstream liberalism today. I have seen an awful lot of toe the line or get up against the wall behavior from the left over the last few years. Again and again the reaction has been “agree with literally everything we say, or be outcast as a bigot”. I have seen it even among my close personal circles when debating radically new ideas that people should be given time to consider, opportunities to discuss, and time to research. That is an incredibly disappointing attitude from a group with a stated goal of inclusion and tolerance. Tolerance for popular non-normative ideals, but disdain for any conflicting discourse seems to be the group mantra. I say this as someone who is mostly aligned with progressive movements.
Yes, that’s a good point. The nonsensical arguments meant to consume energy were a master stroke against actual discourse online and in person. Unfortunately it has had the desired effect, and many of us aren’t engaging in discourse with like-minded people about things we mostly agree on. The right has done such a good job of making every point contentious that any statement against the commonly accepted group think is treated as an outsider trying to sow discord. I see it all the time online, and I’m sure you’ve seen it too, where someone who is very liberal gets jumped all over and accused of being a trumper, or a racist, or a homophobe, or whatever, just because they have their own unique perspective of an argument that they’ve obviously put time and thought into. I’ve even encountered it with close personal friends when discussing new radical evaluations of old conceptions. We’re in a rough spot as a society right now. We just might be on a deadline if we can’t figure out how to talk to each other again.
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
I used the chests mainly to hold camp supplies, and also a loot dump when there was a lot of valuable armor to loot that was too heavy to carry. Loot until full, send to camp, loot more. Go to the vendor, sell all, go to camp, grab until full, go back to the vendor.
I think I was at about 160 hours when I finished the game, and I did everything I could find in Act 3, so you might be close to the end. I possibly skipped some content in Act 2 though, and I didn’t do the mountain creche.
I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try?

You could do that in old cars too, without even changing anything. A lot of them had a separate ring inside the speedometer showing KPH. But that doesn’t mean the person understands the distance when told that their destination is 47 kilometers away and they’re accustomed to miles.
