Ah. Makes sense.

On PS store, a rating of 4.39/5 with 3.4k reviews. I guess I'm getting it.

BTW, why is the image for GK2?

It's been proven that most of the time, whoever spends the most wins.

Most organized religions don't cultivate empathy, especially the ones considered Abrahamic. It probably inhibits it.

It's all about their gods saying "do these things and you won't suffer at my hands." Followers don't get to think about whether something is correct or the right thing to do. They're too busy thinking about if it's going to count as a sin.

Having lived in Utah for way too long, I have seen this among the Mor[m]ons. They'll do "good works" but it's very impersonal most of the time.

It's about grinding the maximum blessings with the least amount of effort. That doesn't lend itself to empathy.

Especially with the whole temple thing. Spend a couple of hours cosplaying as an avatar for a dead person and still get all the blessings as if you helped a living person in a tight spot.

Today's video is brought to you by the fine folks at the Kandahar Cultural Center. Featuring daily stonings and a kid's corner where they can deface replicas of local Buddhist artwork.

They're just returning to their roots. Moses and Joshua would probably approve.

I think we'd definitely be better off with Satan in charge.

The CIA started it in 1953 by overthrowing the government of Iran.

Trump and his followers don't see Russia as a hostile nation. They live in a bubble where everything is the opposite.

Probably thinks "Schrei nach Liebe" is about *other* people.

China and Canada seem to be the only ones that seem to understand this. Japan might but they don't want to push back much.

If Modi thinks it'll help him stay in power, he'd probably do it.

I'm not sure there's anyone in his Cabinet or anywhere in the GQP that isn't a waste of time and space.

That's so cute. They think FIFA and the IOC care about anything other than money.

Even if they withdrew from the US, they'd only be doing it so they could extort money from the new hosts.

They are just giant money vacuums, taking a nations tax funds and redistributing it to international billionaires.

Stop exaggerating. It's more like five seconds.
