  • Do you know what the Minsk Agreements are

  • Gene Roddenberry was a Maoist. Pretty sure this was a studio thing, not a Gene thing.

  • They literally did, though? Europeans brought animals and plants over on their ships—the same ones they were coming over on. Kudzu is an extremely recent example, but invasive species date back to the literal first colonists. The two issues are inextricable.

    And it's not that the plants are fitter, it's that they have no predators as a result of human activity.

    I'm sorry, but I really think this is a "no investigation, no right to speak" scenario. It would take thirty minutes on Google to figure out why you're wrong.

  • This is a super bad take. Most invasive species were brought over by Europeans, so yes, they did have an "immigration program". The reason they're outcompeting natives is not that they're fitter, but that they have no place in the ecological systems here: nothing eats them so they have no checks on their spread.

  • Well hang on, let's hear it out

  • Palestinians aren't asking you to vote for Biden, you might notice. Arab Americans are voting for him in significantly lower numbers, in fact. If you want to pretend like you care about victims, maybe listen to them.

    And, for what it's worth, a vote for Biden is a vote for Biden. He doesn't care if you scold him as long as you vote for him. Any 'activism' you engage in ultimately means nothing if you give him your vote at the end of the day.

    And really, please quit with the 'not voting is a vote for Trump' thing. It's a vote for Trump as much as it's a vote for Biden—which is to say, it helps neither. The implicit assumption under saying it helps Trump is that my vote belongs rightfully to Biden.

  • Argue all you want: you're here saying you're going to vote for a genocide and scolding others for refusing. If you want to call that moral, I guess I can't stop you.

  • Yes, I refuse to vote for genocide. No, I'm not under the impression de la Cruz will win the presidency.

    You do not have the moral high ground here, friend, and trying to talk down to people will not help you reclaim it.

  • All appearances to the contrary, I am going to vote. I'm voting for the PSL candidate, Claudia de la Cruz, because she does not support genocide.

  • You can do much more than vote. There's people getting beat to shit by cops all over the country proving it.

    This whole 'you have a moral obligation to vote for 99% Hitler' thing is pretty tired, as the logical conclusion of that line of reasoning is that you should vote for Hitler if anyone worse than Hitler is on the ballot.

  • When that one thing is a genocide, I think it's pretty fair to focus on. We're not talking about our candidate's favorite flavor of ice cream.

    If neither candidate will stop the genocide, it's our responsibility to refuse both candidates. Voting for Hindenburg didn't stop the Holocaust.

  • ... you're posting in the USA community

  • Are you making fun of people for liking to read lmao

  • It's not title gore, that's how the sentence ends in the interview. The implication is pretty obvious.

  • Software engineering as a discipline is pretty much a series of trick questions.
