It also makes me curious what percentage of that 18% was directed towards men as opposed to women. All that would be left in this hypothetical is women-on-women violence, so anything else should be discounted for a fair comparison.
I've occasionally dreamt about doing this with a bar. I picture it like the sitcom Black Books, but with booze instead of books.
Never said they were anything like the same. Just that neither of them had done anything particularly worthy of a Nobel peace prize. As you say, every American president in the past century would have gotten one, were that the case.
Oh, for sure. I'm not saying they should have given one to Obama. That and Kissinger are why it's not completely unthinkable that Trump might actually get one somehow.
The deal thing is a smokescreen. The real reason he's upset is that he badly and urgently wants to end a war. It's the only chance in hell he'd ever get a Nobel peace prize, and in his delusional mind, he's still competing with Obama.
That's a good thing - helps keep the quality level up, and leaves room for other indies.
Of course, true enlightenment comes only when you accept that you will never be able to play every game you already own, let go of the worldly desire to clear your backlog, and buy more games anyway. At this stage of enlightenment, you transcend the need for willpower.
This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
I hope you have a good time here as well!
Weird dichotomy, when there's more than enough wealth to take care of both, if it were managed sensibly.
I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".
It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.
Not sure either. Best guesses are a combination of elitism, ignorance, preconceptions, groupthink, and insincere memeing.
Yeah, exactly - that's what I mean. Hypothetically, if 50% of the violence done by women involves men, then the 82% is really more like 91%, and the violence attributed to women starts to look more and more like a rounding error. This meme is getting more rational all the time. It's almost like bringing statistics into it does nothing but present a lame fig leaf to cover up the underlying, endemic problem that inspired the meme in the first place.
