The arguments where the data is by definition subjective requires a much higher amount. A million people saying Caitlyn Jenner is hot is objective proof of something, that's for sure. I'm not framing this as feelings = bad. I'm saying _JUST_ feelings is bad. You can have opinions based on...

For some topics, subjective experience becomes objective truth at a certain critical mass. I'm not saying subjective experience has no place in the argument. But it needs more than one person to carry any meaningful weight. Of course humans cannot divorce themselves from feelings and bias...

I'm not saying you cannot be passionate, but you should try your best to not let that passion taint your reasoning.

I think you need to read up on "objective opinions". When it comes to complex issues, of which preferred pronouns is only one facet, I think it's important to set the requirement for debate at objective and remove all feelings from the topic.

Rule of Acquisition 98. Also, I have no proof, but I want to say the commonality of multi-movie contracts postdates the TNG movies. I have a very fuzzy memory of Stewart pushing for a more action-oriented Picard in the movies.

I don't know why you keep misinterpreting my point. I'm not looking to agree with her reasons, I'm looking for her to present logical ones. You cannot argue an opinion on feels. And if you can only back an opinion with feels, you shouldn't be spreading it. I let adults keep their feels for...

And if it was one of your many spouses that had such an opinion? And they were teaching your kids such?

I feel the sky is green.

Anyone planned an ignite build in PoB this patch? I can't figure out a few things: Where the fuck is it storing damage of time multipliers? The calc page doesn't seem to directly mention them anywhere. I was planning a Divine Ire Ignite prolif build(only way to play Divine Ire IMO) and I do...

I'm not sure I understand the question, the answer seems self evident. Backing an opinion with just feelings is like saying "because I said so".

I'm sure there's some user error involved, I only do UE once per league because the fight is financially not worth the long effort, so I was a bit rusty. I was concentrating on avoiding shit myself, deathmarking targets and they would die while I was focusing on that.

Her justifications are basically feels, those aren't valid.

We seem to be arguing in circles. I don't expect her to agree with me. I expect her to have her shit in order so she's a good parent for our kid. That means telling him preferred pronouns are good because X, Y, and Z, not because she likes them. Kids place a high amount of trust in their...

Yes, the slave drivers are resist capped, I made sure of that via PoB since they have odd resists compared to the usual spectre(more lightning, less fire and cold). They even have +5 max resist from Elemental Army. Spirit Offering is not bad but I'm also not sure how much that would help...

I did that, just not so crassly. I asked her how she would feel if someone said their preferred pronoun was "Her Majesty". She first tried to argue that wasn't a pronoun(it is). But then said it was stupid. She said most of them are stupid. I'm assuming she's referring to ones like "Xir"...

And it's fun in some regards. An odd episode of American Dad with Director Bullock was great.

Minions are so OP this patch that it's quite jarring when their lone weakness rears its head: retarded AI. Took 4 portals to do UE because my skittish Slave Drivers kept eating Elder donuts and Shaper beams. Convoking wouldn't help because they'd run the fuck back into the danger zone almost...

Like all the TNG movies?

Star Trek is dead, has been for a while. DS9 was the last good piece of Star Trek media that explored thought-provoking topics. Voyager and Enterprise attempted to, but their execution sucked. Everything else since then have been imposters borrowing the name. The real irony in this day and...

Still need that curse craft?

Just put meat shield support on your zombies instead of feeding frenzy if you want taunt. Feeding frenzy should be on your spectres while clearing since you want them aggressive.

No, I'm definitely not a unique snowflake. I realize the hypocrisy of expecting these requirements in others while likely failing them in some fashion myself. That realization, that introspection, is perhaps more accurately what I'm looking for in others. I'm much more forgiving of people...

Much better. I'm surprised you have the gem slots to fit an enhance gem. I had to get an unset ring just to fit everything on my summoner. Though, I am using 6 auras... Can anyone comment on Baron zombie clear vs Slave Driver clear? I'm pretty much done gearing out my Mana Guardian for...

Man-children? Not anyone in this thread, y'all alright.

No, the cunt part is hyperbole to emphasize the example. Let me try again. If my wife said one of my friends is doing something stupid, I'd reconsider whether I support my friend's actions just because he's my friend.

The endgame is likely divorce if I'm being a completely pragmatic nonbiased observer. I want to feel like I'm making progress. Like I said, I got her to effectively admit that women are paid less because women make financially poor decisions, but I'm not convinced there aren't some cognitive...

I disagree on this. If my wife said one of my friends is a cunt, I'd have a long hard think as to why I was friends with that person.

I can disagree with people. They better have solid reasoning otherwise I'm going ignore their opinion and probably start the argument again the next time said opinion comes up. I don't want a wife that thinks the Patriarchy is real or believes in the female wage gap is real. I've had to...

This is an interesting tangent, one I anticipate will be relevant tomorrow as one of the pronouners is coming for my son's birthday and this will be the first time interacting with her since she changed her pronoun. However, I haven't had anyone, in my home, ask me to use specific pronouns...

This is what a feminist looks like. To be fair, the specific ideology is not the point. Do not ascribe your children to movements or ideas that they cannot comprehend the full weight. This is no different than baptism.

Well, yeah, no kidding. That's why I've been mentioning divorce the last few times I've posted regarding my marriage. The shirt thing was relatively easy to handle. I got it to stop but she said I bullied her and then tried to weasle her way back into dressing him again because she thought I...

You don't see using your kids as billboards for ideology as dangerous? I expect to be confronted. I *want* to be confronted. Change my fucking mind. Expose me to viewpoints and ideas I haven't considered. People that hold opinions and aren't able/willing to back them up are loathsome. I...

She hangs a LOT of stuff on the walls. Usually, I'm grateful because I decorate like a man. But it also makes it hard to notice the bullshit. She honestly doesn't see "Fuck the Patriarchy" as confrontational. One of her counterpoints was that no one has said anything about yet :rolleyes:

For the most part, they're fine. My wife is super nonconfrontational. When I was arguing(and probably will again) about the "Fuck the Patriarchy", her concern was very little about the message and mostly that her friend made it for her. That kind of apathy and nonrealization of appeasement is...

Hmmm, I'm not as familiar with the life-based necro version of Slave Drivers. I'm playing a LL Mana Guardian currently and using the annointment on Gravepact since it's 10 points out of the way. I'm not sure how much loose currency you have. A new neck(that one really isn't doing much for you...

I would say "I don't want to be around that stuff" if I felt that would actually happen. And by "stuff", I mean I don't want any needlepoints in my house, no bumper stickers on my car, no magnets on my fridge, no tshirts on my son, and no preferred pronouns in my conversations. I get your...

I'm not sure what happens when you try to apply two same-level curses at the same time and you have a 1 curse limit. But as it is now, you're definitely not getting both, unless I missed somewhere where you increased your curse limit. Oh, one other thing, you're wasting much of your neck slot...

Two curses but no curse limit? I might have missed something on your character.

The two people I know that are playing the pronoun game, at least to the capacity I know them, have not come anywhere close to the caricature SJWs I've seen on the internet. Nevermind, just finished writing that and reminded myself that one of them is the wife to the person that made the "Fuck...

@Soygen More like sycophants. Like, I don't truly believe they're SJWs, I don't believe my wife is, but it's popular. Under the right circumstances, I will play along too. I HAVE played along. My boss rehired an intern and put him on my team this time. Except now he's a she. Didn't look...
