Nah, I’m not confused about direct concepts. Still waiting for you to make one that is rational, though. Feel free to continue making insane rants and propping up strawmen though.
Like I said, I’ll keep responding until you’re done. Keep going as long as you like.
I have no idea what your nonsensical post is even saying. You’ve gone so far into the weeds of trying to attack me you’re not making sense. Wanna take another stab at it?
Please, continue to project what I should be thinking and saying. I don’t even have to do anything here; you’re essentially arguing with a straw man. Keep it up, you’re doing great!
Vehemently expressing opinions 😆. I love it. You just keep on sending me these walls of text about how I’m really, deep down, invested in this topic and conversation. Ahh, never change, you crazy rascal!
I didn’t start this thread, FYI.
Also, I disagree with your premise that anything about this is dehumanizing. Along with that, you’re some rando on the Internet so your condemnation means nothing to me, and likely nothing to anyone else.
Not sure why you keep accusing me of things. I already told you I’m here to have meaningless exchanges with you and nothing else. We can keep going all you’d like.
I mean, it’s a minute of my day to tell you simply that you shaking your fist at people who don’t share your outrage is pointless. I’m really not invested other than to keep engaging you to point out how silly this is. Up to you when you want to stop.
I’m not invested in anything other than to point out your outrage is just pissing in the wind here. And I don’t care what you think so telling me I’m shameful means nothing to me.
I mean, if it’s shameful to not empathize with someone over the slight of their face being partially covered in a movie poster, then I’ll accept that. Your disdain of people means nothing to me.
“Mary hat hey lid tell lam, ids fleas woes white has know”
Him, most other world leaders, most of the populace, etc etc. Under your definition nearly everyone is an evil piece of shit. /Shrug
All of the icons are great, but the Zangief icon on King of Fighters 93 takes the cake.
I think that analogy is worse. If my scumbag sibling killed someone and I didn’t say they were a scumbag and distance myself from them and instead defended them and enabled them to continue being a scumbag I damn well deserve others’ ire.
This isn’t the one bad cop in America, this is just one of many whose colleagues enable and approve of their actions. Often defenders of these shitbags say, “it’s just one bad apple” but they forget the rest of the saying that one bad apple spoils the bunch. In this case, too, the people that should hold themselves to a higher standard as a group are the ones making themselves look shitty by not doing so.
Not sure how people with family and friends of “decent cops” can defend them as a whole, particularly when most of them call on their cop friend or family member to help get them out of tickets. They’re just as bad (lol).
I think Mark Kelly would be a safe bet for the nomination. I heard he was already approached about it
Yeah, see there you go assuming I wasn’t one of those people. I was and still am, but I’m also reasonable. Nothing changes if Joe drops now or 3 months ago - the incumbency advantage is lost and the next available candidates look… Not great. The only difference is that Trump would have more time to attack the opposition. The tradeoff is that doing it now means we have to trust the DNC to run a short campaign effectively, but we’ve seen that they can’t run a long campaign effectively, so it doesn’t really matter. If you’re in the, “no to fascism” vote crowd, the DNC could put up a turnip and it would get my vote.
Nah fam. I know you think you’re some oracle that can see how things go, but I can safely say if I ever thought Harris was viable I would gladly bang the drum for her and say, “well at least Harris can win” but quite frankly she has a snowball’s chance in hell. I’m voting against fascism this election no matter who it is, but I’m certainly not voting for anyone in particular. That was the same with Biden. Nothing has really changed since I’m capable of making rational decisions. The calculus is the same - vote against fascism. Just looks a whole lot bleaker now.
Who is supposed to do that? When do I get my sheeple call? Instead of listening to them I should totally listen to a free thinker such as yourself - then I’d be such an independent thinker 🙄
Yeah, it’s a terrible direction. I don’t see a viable path forward for Democrats now. Biden caved to pressure from fear mongers and a Trump win is looking pretty good. If I took your advice I could vote 3rd party and enjoy my smugness while I watch a new fascist regime take hold.
You demand people think for themselves and don’t agree with their outcome. People have thought of the arguments you make and they’re not convincing. Telling people to “not be a good little follower” when following Biden is the most reasonable outcome given the circumstances is silly given the alternatives involve either voting against your best interests directly or drastically changing the way elections are determined which isn’t going to happen 4 months before the election. Give it a rest.
When I lived in Japan (around 15 years ago, so etiquette might have changed since then) it was common to take the fish off of the rice and dip it in soy sauce, then put it back on the rice bed in instances where it was just placed atop the rice. Likewise, it was perfectly fine to mix wasabi into your soy sauce.
I’ve done things that way since without any overt disdain, so I think these are generally good guidelines, but you can probably get away with doing some things your own way.
Yeah, I think you’re missing the thread of the conversation here, but again you’re… And I mean this sincerely, SOLID on creating strawmen. Like, it’s amazing how good you are at that.
