I'm trying to build my comm so there is always a place for people to post when their post doesnt6 exactly fit anywhere else. Please contribute if you can. Just post, like, a dad joke there if you can't think of anything.

  • Ha programmers are fem

  • Even more fun!

  • For reference

  • God speed

  • I could think of maybe 50 where I would wish there was an Australian. Mostly related to crocodile hunting.

    Edit: also, a lot of countries are bi-lingual where English is the second language. So they will always make my list.

  • Sorry your dad did that. That sucks.

  • Good times.

  • I meant, "funded".

  • I can settle with that. Forgive me for not giving the due respect for how youve navigated this discussion like a gentlemen but Im not in the habit of dredging up post history and been burnt before.

    To address Hasan's cult. I often default, because its more satisfying than imagining the entire world is just rube after rube, that much of his audience is manufactured. Its scary because it does fuck with people who are still developing and cant see through the veil as clearly.

    We accept that animal abuse is just a thing happening all over. Its when we elevate the abuser when I feel the most injustice.

    Lets face it, cult behavior is just a part of life. I look at the democrats, though I shouldn't in this political environment, and see myself compromising my morals because of the illusion of helplessness. The fact is, no one should be ok with america giving isreal money. Not even for the sake of their own well being but even in aggregate, unless support is widespread, we can sacrifice ourselves and only cause frustration within. If we are going to put our own well being on the line it has to be in more meaningful ways. Then per se, giving money to a cult streamer who has a cute, but miserable, dog.

  • Im not an expert dog trainer. Its also not a very prestigious title. I have loved an animal and have been responsible for their well being. From that perspective, I cant help but feel hurt for Kaya. Do I think the state has any right to intercede, probably not. I also dont have to compromise my beliefs because they shouldn't act in this situation.

  • Youre delving in too deep of water for me to address it here. I appreciate your point of view but we, as randoms on the internet, do not have to rapport to have nuanced discussion about the law behind this.

    The law is very limited in what it has the ability to litigate and honestly, our laws reflect this. We would also have to discuss what constitutes expert testimony. Expert opinion is not science its just relaying heuristics.

    I've been consistent in my assessment from the get go. If you want nuance and not just moral oral we would need to start with mutual respect. That doesnt just materialize because we exchanged messages online.

  • I have a thing called a conscience. It comes from inside.

    Would you sequester a dog to a corner of the house 8 hours a day all for the benefit of an audience? Going so far as to shock them to the point physical pain if they try to leave?

    If you say yes, I dont need a certified dog streamer to tell me youre a barbarian.

    How about, why did he lie about it?

    You accept he lies about it. If all is great in hasan town, why lie?

  • It doesnt matter. You've already proved my point.

    The question was did hasan shock his dog? Not only do you accept he shocked his dog, now you are completely on board with it.

  • I saw a YouTube video of a dog trainer

    I hate you

    Answer one question:

    Is a dog prop for streamer clout abuse?

  • Metoo

  • Its not only MAGA, though.

    Its been so discouraging watching what happened with Hasan (twitch streamer). Hasan is blatantly abusing his dog on stream solely to bolster his image. Everything related to Kaya has been swept under the rug and the abuse will continue.

    In the future Hasan viewers will accept that a little bit of dog abuse is ok because they rather continue following Hasan than accept Hasan is a bad person.

    The frustrating part is people will hand wave Hasans behavior saying, "he can never admit fault because of his ideology." When it's really an act of subjugation against his viewers. He gets off on the fact they allow him to shape their reality and they give him that power. It doesnt matter if its Kaya being abused or Hasan stabbed someone in the eye. He will continue to inch his following into full devotion. He knows at a certain point it will become impossible for his following to admit they were wrong because that is admitting they enabled an abuser.

  • How out of touch do you have to be.

  • Sure Jan.

  • Thats it!

    I've been alive for the entire narrative of the internet and it's crazy to think any of the newer generations will be able to sort it all out for themselves.

    I wish there were a group of people that protected the world from devastation. That would unite all people within my nation. Then we could denounce the evils associated with "truth" and "love."
