The Dark Lord ☑️

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.

Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.

If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.

Right. Throughout human history, if someone was cast out of a community, they didn’t survive. We’ve been trained through evolution to go along with the tribe because it’s unsafe to question anything and get cast out.

Agreed. You could argue that Reddit is actually overcrowded.

If we just hear “the gospel” enough, we’ll come around. In reality, I hear street preachers, and see “Jesus loves you” stickers on street corners, and it turns me off even more.

This is actually an ongoing plot in the current run. In an altered state of consciousness, Batman created a failsafe, literally called Failsafe, to kill himself if he ever killed someone else.

When the program sees an article that he killed someone (he didn’t, it was a setup), it releases the robot Failsafe to defeat him. Batman has yet to defeat Failsafe, though he has survived so far against it.

All of them. The exception would maybe be something like Failsafe, which is a robot built by Batman (in an altered state of consciousness) to defeat himself if he ever killed someone. So, Batman is really the only one who could defeat Batman.

To add to this, they’re banning mass AirBNB rentals which should help. But yes, banning ownership of more than 2 properties would surely help most.

Yeah, actually found a detached 2 bedroom. It was so far south it was practically on the Fraser River, but still in Vancouver.

Just to point out, everyone else is talking about detached single family homes. The person from Vancouver gave a tiny apartment and it’s still worth nearly half a million.

The cheapest detached home for sale is $1,350,000, and it’s about as far away from downtown you can get while still being in the city of Vancouver.

Vancouver’s housing is out of control.
