Wow, these people sure are worried about "anti-White racism"

What a shortcoming, thinking about things that actually exist

It's so funny how puritanical Americans are, there is some discourse about Baldur's Gate 3 NSFW art, and the vast majority of people on both sides seem to believe that seeing Shadowheart's tits is somehow harmful to you if you are 17 years old

This debate would still be "material" in at least three ways.

The debaters themselves are still material, and a product of a certain kind of society. The debate about abstract math would probably not happen in a hunter-gatherer society, or a society that does not spend resources on education, or a society that does not create an intellectual class.

Let's assume the object of the debate is something that directly or indirectly matters to the debaters and to people of the society they live in. Then, the new ideas or understandings created in this debate do not end there, they extend to a larger community or even the whole society. What kind of ideas can spread in a society is influenced by material factors, for example, mathematics that can be used in complex lens systems would be more likely to spread in a society that creates those systems.

The ideas themselves are based in the material human brains. Furthermore, however abstract and separate from the material world the ideas appear to be, they do not exist discretely from other ideas, and these other ideas are related to the material reality.

It's so fucked up that the woke game devs of Dark Souls make you kill Gwyn just because he's a white man

I have like five .odt files on my desktop that are three pages about a topic no one but me will ever care about. But once in a while someone will ask a question that is tangentially related and I will self-plagiarize a paragraph or two and feel like my time was not totally wasted.

It's honestly fucked up that they have legs, like it does not fit into their design, just be content with having wings and little stubby feet please

I don't think you really need one, this one is much more of a Being Normal Simulator than the previous two. If you prioritize getting the fortune teller SL to unlock the ability to boost social links and use that whenever a relationship wouldn't rank up in one day, you should have plenty of time.

I've had a shitty cheap bike pretty much my entire life and just got a slightly fancy new one, and no wonder my ass is so good looking when I have been practically biking uphill this whole time.

There are a lot of stories about the invention of modern technologies that try to frame the inventor creating a billion-dollar industry but not getting fabulously wealthy as some bitter injustice, but it's just liberal nonsense. The workers actually making the products are the ones getting exploited and they get left out of the story completely, while the inventor probably gets a pretty nice salary for easy work while some capitalist gets richer. The inventor is the only one here who gets even close to what they deserve.

And they fucking dare to advertise them as lasting for 10^12 clicks or whatever

Love to google search the product code of the part I need and have it suggest similar looking parts mixed in with the correct results even when their codes are nowhere near each other
