@Problematic_Browser Your investment in your non belief makes it seem like it actually is your core belief. I don’t care if you believe there’s a god or not.

belief in God can only thrive in the gaps of human knowledge.
These questions have been hashed out decades and centuries ago by a wide variety of philosophers. Atheists often are not aware that these debates have been approached with the utmost seriousness long before us. The gain of knowledge through science since has not come in conflict with God at all. A look into physics and astronomy will suffice to let you know that the current understanding and theories of the universe are equally as unbelievable as to you God is. The reason for that is that they derive from God.
@lurkerhasarisen Yeah I’ve gotten this, but usually after I’ve “ran game” on a whole group of people and therefore was established as the most high value guy there. What I think never happens is you being a sore loser who’s sitting or standing alone in a bar and the woman without knowing anything about you just comes up and starts hitting on you. This only happens if she’s way older and way more unattractive than would be your level or if she knows you are very rich for example.
Their remnant blackpill thoughts are that every single woman only flings herself at men, there is no middle ground of being the one who does the approach.
Indeed, while the truth is that women love bold men and despise men without confidence. Letting the man approach is the easiest way to find out if he is confident, willing to take a risk and willing to take responsibility from her. The man approaching the woman IS the way it works in >99% of cases, even if she already finds him attractive. I’ve had a few woman approach me in my life and I’ve found it to be off putting each time. What happens most often is that a women realizes through my behavior that I’m an attractive guy and then just so happens to stand somewhere alone where I can see her or she just so happens to be near me so it’s easy to strike up a convo. Women don’t throw themselves at guys overtly, they make themselves available. But everyone here who actually bangs knows this.

@MentORPHEUS: "well, not that"
holy deja-vu, Batman.
This is like when I asked everyone what they'd have done about Saddam, and your response was pretty much "well, not that".
If you can't offer a viable alternative to what they're doing, then quit clutching your pearls.
This means NOT bombing the shit out of civilian infrastructure and people, even if hunting down and taking out individual militants and combatants becomes necessary.
So your response to the October 7th attacks would have been either no war or some targeted strikes to some Hamas leaders while leaving in place the whole terror infrastructure and leaving alive most of the people that committed the attacks. In that case I believe the Israelis are doing a more just and a more thorough job at preventing further conflict. As stated before, only because some civilians die, it is not a genocide. In this case not many civilians died/are dying, not in absolute numbers and not at all if you factor in the situation and circumstance in the ground. I’m done with this here.
Explain to me how you would conduct this war in a non genocidal way then and don’t answer with you wouldn’t fight at all,
I may have hippie-ish leanings, but I'm not naive or foolishly anti-war or anti-violence no matter what.
My solutions include making war unnecessary; many of the same principles of interpersonal interaction also apply at the international level. Respect property and boundaries, and avoid initiating the use of force. These are some of the underlying factors of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Since decades of cumulative such behaviors can't be magically undone, how would I handle the response to October 7 if I was in charge of Israeli security? "Eliminate Hamas by force" is difficult, as Hamas (like al-qaeda, and other movements going back way before the spirit of 1776) is an IDEA, not a tangible enemy, so I would take care not to triple down on the actions and policies that brought the conflict to open warfare and make several new Hamas fighters for every person unjustly killed or otherwise fucked over.
This means NOT bombing the shit out of civilian infrastructure and people, even if hunting down and taking out individual militants and combatants becomes necessary. Turning Gaza to rubble made guerilla warfare that much easier for Israel's opponents to conduct, and good faith combatant hunting that much harder for them. I would not attack entire populations of people who weren't involved and squander international sympathy and support the same way America did after 9/11. I would instead work to make other countries want to assist in bringing attackers and combatants to justice.
Most of these solutions presuppose that my nation hasn't spent decades as a belligerent, arrogant, aggressive hegemon. Because America and Israel are, they are behaving pretty much the only way they know how to in this kind of situation. This time, America and Israel are out of money and out of friends in the world, so there's pretty much no military way for this to end well for either.
Read More@Lionsmane8 You retard should learn to make a proper argument. Maybe when Islamists stop being barbarians they can fit some form of education into their curriculum. Maybe reading some Kant would be doing you good, and yes, you can write that down so you don’t forget the name.
