“this kind of content,” Why are you making people give reddit traffic to figure out what you’re talking about about?

Kinda different but
spoilers for the whole first season of this podcast I link to below
Around 2020-21, there was a racial justice protester in Denver who probably suffered a brain injury from a police rubber bullet (got knocked out at a protest and felt weird ever since, but doctors are expensive so who knows), who later got baited into making a straw purchase by an undercover FBI operative who (among other things) had a history of violent crimes and sexual assaults and was paid thousands of dollars by the FBI for his work

Eh, people don’t buy for the gameplay mechanics most of the time, they buy for what they see in the trailers and read in the descriptions. Being the only videogame available for this IP, having the WB marketing juggernaut behind it, releasing at a time of the year without much competition, coming out on every single platform - it would have been weird if this game wasn’t the best selling one in 2023.

That sounds like people going through their profile and just mass downvoting everything
She didn’t call the protesters violent
Right? I can’t believe this blatant disinformation is getting upvoted. She said it was Chinese propaganda smh.

Sure, but I think about studies of traumatic brain injuries and neuroplasticity that have shown that different brains can use different physical parts for creating the same functions of mind, and all the wonderfully atypical brains out there that just work a bit differently but have nothing wrong with them,
And all that makes me think, because we all create that decision-maker (ourselves) a bit differently, we do in fact create that decision maker for ourselves, and that decision maker, in certain limited circumstances, has some independence from the brain that created it
e; I just want to emphasize the “in certain limited circumstances” part, because on second though I’m realizing that this could be read as a “just think your way out of your schizophrenia bro, you’re responsible for it” argument, and that’s definitely not what I want to say. So let’s just say the relationship between brain and mind is really complicated and maybe a bit of a two way street sometimes.

Like, remember the bit in the Dobbs case where Alito cited to Matthew Hale, a 17th century nutjob who burned women at the stake for witchcraft? Came right out of the Thomas More society’s brief
