US politics general thread

It is a reference to non player characters in games. Stop quoting definitions you don't understand and open up any game you have and interact with a NPC.

The distinction is only really relevant in MMO's, in single player games every other character is an NPC.

That changes what?

An NPC is a non-playing character which is pre-programmed to behave a certain way. It has ZERO free will or thinking making them extremely predictable. Changes nothing single player or MMO

It changes nothing - I was making an observation, you guys love it so much you should at least try and undestand it's significance. The whole point of NPC versus player interaction is from MMO's - Player Characters and NPC's look the same, what distiguishes them is their speech and behaviour, in a single player game everyone but the player is an NPC so it's a useless comparison. The point of the meme is that some people in the real world are NPC's and some are other "players" - this has no parallel in single player gaming where every other character is an NPC.

It's a stupid meme that only exists to shut down debate and delegitimize the views of your opponent. It's a sign that you're truly incapable of standing on the facts.

I don't disagree.

Seems like the NPC thing is really hurting your feels

I haven't used it once tbh, so your "You guys" statement is wrong

If you have anything more to add to the debate than " meh, Trump bad" then it can't shut your opinion down. It is only effective, if it accurately represents you.

Of course Pitbull, me explaining something to your logically shows that my feelings are really hurt....

And was speaking about the conservatives on this thread as a whole, just like you make generalizations about libtards.

Yea, I love using the word libtard. It puts everything into perspective.

You are the one harping on about NPC. I can't be bothered (haven't used it once) just saying you seem to have an issue with it

Hey it's more plausible than Soros

The caravan is about as spontaneous as Euromaidan i.e. no, it most likely is Soros in some way, shape or form.

The caravan is most likely Trump.

So we have three different posts speculating on a likelihood, made in the order above.

How does one prove a "likelihood"?

With proof. Or stfu

Excellent, you first btw ^

HAHAHA you think I'm seriously suggesting that Trump paid for the caravan? GTFO dude.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

The caravan could also be funded by a right wing enterprise.

Of course it "could be", anything is possible. The caravan could also be inspired by a vision from god. Occam's razor however suggests a Soros-type intervention.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

I still don't think you get what a NPC is. Do you play any games at all? You can maybe compare the Qanon crowd to some Russian hackers using cheats or some random noobs that don't speak English and can't read simple game objectives fscking up the game for everyone else, but not NPCs

You should know by now the NPCs are programmed to try and copy real people in order to appear human as well. Famous NPC words have been assimilated and repurposed by the humans and this angers the NPC. Words like SJW, safe space and woke all originated in NPC scripts and look at them now

The NPC is trying to copy that human action in repurposing the term NPC, sadly the NPC has never been quite as successful as real humans in repurposing terms to turn them on their creators. That level of scripting is too advanced.

Occam's razor

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case the one that requires the least speculation is usually better. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation.

Seeing that you have absolutely nothing linking George Soros to these people, there is no universe in which your theory is the Occam's Razor of the caravan. It's pure, unadulterated speculation.

No you.

You mean like calling people racists / transphobic / literal nazi's / misogynists / quoting random logical fallacies you don't understand?

Gee I wonder what type of affiliation is shared by people who typically use those words ... it serves a single purpose: shutting down debate.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

No, read again, slowly. You did claim a probability in stating something is "more plausible" than another. So if we have to prove likelihoods, you first. Then I'll go, then unhappy can go.

I was being 100% facetious, obviously. The only reason you're bringing it up is to deflect from the complete lack of proof of Soros funding and the ludicrous claim that it's the Occam's Razor of the caravan.

 

[Unhappy1]

Im not going anywhere, Trump is most likely the one that paid for the caravan. You will just have to deal with that.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

Seeing that you have absolutely nothing linking George Soros to these people, there is no universe in which your theory is the Occam's Razor of the caravan. It's pure, unadulterated speculation.

Welcome, so you see, two possible explanations:

1: Trump / the right is somehow behind the creation of a mob they cannot possibly control, in order to demonstrate how well they control it so that they can affect the mid-term election outcome via pro-right sentiment

2: Soros / the left who have done this before many times, is somehow behind the creation of a mob they know cannot possibly be controlled, in order to affect the mid-term election outcome via anti-right sentiment

If you count carefully option 1 includes 3 assumptions where option 2 only has 2. Occam's razor dictates therefore that option 2 is most likely.

Then we can move on and repeat the exercise with two options again:

1: see #2 above
2: a 14,000 strong crowd from different countries, for different reasons, magically formed an organised march toward the US border despite crossing many alternative countries on the way there. It is pure coincidence that it plays directly to the lefty agenda and is perfectly timed with the mid-terms. The people who have been handing out supplies and money to them on the way were also just being generous and have no agenda whatsoever other than wanting to help

Now count the assumptions ...
