Nah, they're observant. They have to be. They're trained to be. They may be young and dumb, but they'll see shit like this. Trust me, I've been there. The young ones may vote red but the older ones dont. And that matters in the military.

Right, and I don't doubt you, empathy is how society grew. But empathy is not why society started.

Keep in mind that you wanted to keep old people in your tribe to look after the children. The men and women were looking for food and firewood and building materials. Losing children means the end of the tribe. Feeding the elderly is still security. It simply makes sense from a survival standpoint.

Obviously they had empathy as well. If you didnt, you wouldn't bother to bury the dead, let alone give up valuable items as offerings, such as an ax. As far as I'm aware, that practice dates back at least 40k years. So obviously there was empathy there.

However, I would say that that empathy comes from security. "They were one of us"

But a rival tribe member dies? Do you think they would gather for that scenario? That would be empathy. And there's no proof of that in a prehistorical context.

Anger is a much more useful emotion than sadness.

I'm a veteran and used to get worked up by them. It took a few years but I mostly got over it because they were predictable, the city put out notices as well as the local baseball team. And then they were legalized for a specific time frame for everybody. Any random asshole could buy and shoot off fireworks during a 3 day window.

Cool, I can hang with that. But then they shoot them off randomly for the 2 weeks surrounding the weekend that they're allowed. That I can't hang with. Especially during the day. Why the fuck are you shooting them off during the day anyways?!? You can't see it! The thing that pisses me off the most? The motherfuckers shooting shit off at random times and days? Those assholes would happily suck my dick if I told them I'm a veteran and told them to do so. But then they'd fire off more fireworks to celebrate doing so.

That's different. That was a sacrifice.

How is it crazy, when America still allows it? Good for Columbia, but we need that too.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah but that's going to make for shit cut scenes, like Turkish Star wars or something.

I think they meant the wraith guy that posted it, not "god". But for someone named wraith, to encourage following another person named wraith seems suspicious.
