I'm a completionist and have had gaming as my primary hobby since I grew pubes.

Serious / Do broken promises count as lies?
« on: February 16, 2015, 08:13:56 PM »
I think this falls under the realm of philosophy, but if the mods disagree, feel free to send this to Shitpost Central.

I consider myself to be a relatively virtuous person. Among other things, I am courteous, I am loyal, I am responsible, and I am accountable. I also never lie.

But what do I mean by that last bit? To me, a lie is when you steal money, and then later claim that you did not. In worse cases, you'll end up blaming someone else for your misdeed. Another lie is exaggerating your capabilities to achieve something, like a job. Lying about your qualifications on your resume. And for a third example, a lie is when you fail to take accounting for something that has happened due to your incompetence, or otherwise. Spilling milk all over the kitchen floor and blaming it on the cat--that's a lie.

What all these three things have in common is that some prior truth-laden event must have taken place first in order to make the truth statement. The truth statement being made is contingent upon the truth event. You can't claim that the cat spilled the milk before the milk was even spilled.

So, here's the question--do broken promises count as lies?

Though I've already made the claim that I never lie, I have broken a fair amount of promises in my life. All of them due to incompetence on my part. I wasn't mindful enough, I wasn't strong enough, I wasn't smart enough, I wasn't prepared enough, I didn't care enough, I didn't know enough--either which way, the promise that I had given was not fulfilled, often leaving the individual highly disappointed with me.

Does this make me a liar? If I say, "I'll do better next time," and I fail, is that a lie?

To me, it seems like the word "lie" implies that some prior event must have taken place first. A broken promise is an event taking place after the promise was made--it took place in the deterministic future, something that I can't feasibly change. I can make the strongest effort I could possibly make at some task, and still fail--we often call this an "honest effort". "Honest". Does that honesty nullify the deceptive nature of the broken promise? Or is it all ultimately still a lie?

Anyway, I think you get the gist of my query. For the sake of brevity, I'll stop here.

Am I a liar?

I realise that a lot of you are not of the legal age to drink
As if anyone in America gives a fuck.

Like, to me, the scummiest of individuals are the ones who drink underage. You can't get much lower in my eyes when it comes to substance abuse. Because we're not just talking about people making themselves dysfunctional here--we're talking about people who can't fucking WAIT to make themselves dysfunctional. They should be culled from the population.

And if you're drinking alcohol, but not getting drunk, then, like someone else said, what's the fucking point?

I'm an extremely militant teetotaler.

Basically, if you drink (at all), you're scum.

the only thing that you proved is that you're a lifeless, inconsiderate, exploitative piece of shit
with no value for art whatsoever

it's not subjective

exploitation of sexuality is either right or wrong, objectively

it can't be both

OK.
Nothing wrong with that.
If someone wants to play a game for fanservice it's their own prerogative.
they are killing the industry by feeding into their carnal desires rather than their intellectual desires

if you'd rather be dumb then smart, you should be shot.

It doesn't translate to reality.
"wow, even though this game fucking sucks, i'm gonna play it anyway because these women have giant tits!"

that's what you're defending
and fuck you for that
