It’s an aggressive mix of the gish gallop and motte and bailey fallacies.

They won’t even own their own viewpoints once you’ve gone through the effort of pulling apart the claim and addressing it. They’ll tell you that you’re reading too deep into it, misinterpreting it, all while putting out more nonsense for you to address.

There’s nothing you can do with the average person not being invested enough in politics to inquire further, and the lack of controls on public speakers. Except stoop to their level I suppose.

Someone actually gets it. Like every other sexual act it is an act of trust.

I don’t believe in any religion, don’t like religion, but I also realize that it’s not the governments place to tell people what they can and can’t believe.

Besides that, given the specifics of this law it’s rather easy to see it’s not even about religion as a whole. It’s just more Islamophobia.

Thanks friend.

I try to laugh because it helps with how depressing life is, but sometimes I’m just overwhelmed by it all. Sometimes I need to close my eyes and ignore it.

not a few on the left,

Nah, was a lot actually. I know a lot of people that were really upset after the election and after the first few months. Then it stopped being a problem. “You’re overreacting.” “Don’t think about it.” “We’ll be fine next election.”

Nah, I know what nice guys are. I just more so meant I didn’t understand these people.

I don’t know about others, but I tend to look at how someone treats others as insight on how they’ll treat me. If someone is openly malicious to other people for such petty reasons then they’ll treat you the same way.

I never understood this specific example. Why are people so obsessed with someone that’s already spoken for? It shows such a lack of respect for boundaries.

I’ve run into the type of guy that thinks it’s alright to harass someone because they’re in a relationship with someone they’re interested in, and what makes me sad is how so many see nothing wrong with it.

How about all the times I’ve seen MAGA people make threats like that and worse?

Yeah, my own half brother threatened to shoot me for voting against his orange god. My parents regularly would post about how anyone who disagreed with Trump deserved death.

But these are rules for others, not for them.

Therapy exhausts me, and I’d like to be uninvited to these sessions as I don’t have much to add, but seeing posts like this and reading other peoples stories makes me realize that it could absolutely be so much worse.

Checked mine for such settings, and could not find them.

We don’t really care as long as they don’t get on the counter while we cook. You should be cleaning before and after cooking, so it’s not that big of a deal.

What’s preventing you from simply renouncing it then?

I’m familiar with a handful of people who have done so, mostly due to the tax burden that this country places on them. The fee is a bit hefty, but it was better than continuing to pay taxes towards a country you don’t even live in.

What discussions happen on discord?

You ever have an issue with anything and you find the answer on some random reddit discussion that ends up in your search results when you’re looking around?

Discord isn’t really like the older methods of chatting, where people used platforms to chat for the sake of chatting. Entire communities from forums decided to just upend everything and move into discord. Niche software and other files are often shared among discord communities, or assistance for said files and programs is offered only through specific discord communities.

The platform is still better than anything we had back in the day, it’s just that for some reason people have decided that everything needs to be stored in there.

Anyway, I don’t see much changing. People will probably attempt to take this culture onto whatever new platform they move onto.

Adding this to the list of insects to scoop up on a sheet of paper and put outside. Assuming I ever see one inside.

Yeah, historically it’s a bit more complicated. Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus which was an unorganized and very splintered resistance movement existed. There’s a lot of reasons for why they couldn’t quite make the impact they wanted, besides being splintered, but that’s probably the largest one.

Besides that though, the Germans did attempt to cleanse their image after the world war with the Wehrmacht myth. The myth essentially states that the regular army had no knowledge of the acts committed by the SS, that the average German solider was bravely fighting for their country under false pretenses. Obviously it’s not true, but it seems to have been rather effective unfortunately.

That was cute, we could always use more wholesome content like this on here.

He’s got more free time now that he’s left dead by daylight.

She didn’t deserve that, and these glasses are so problematic. Too problematic for society, just like so much of the AI products being introduced.

Yes some of the glasses are supposed to have lights, but if you search online you can find plenty of ways to cover or conceal them.

Also myself and my significant other wear prescription glasses that have a similar shape to these. At what point do we have to start being anxious about people starting to slug anyone wearing glasses out of paranoid concerns for their privacy?

I don’t want to deal with any of this. We live in such a dystopian world.

No thank you. I value my life too much.

I had to check the date on this post due to the XIV avatar.

Definitely keep clean and use deo, but I remember the last major XIV convention in NA was so poorly planned out that it had massive lines of people waiting outside in the late July summer heat in Las Vegas. It’s a bit of an unfortunate situation.
