To be fair, you're commenting all over this thread. I was genuinely interested in why one message wouldn't have your little copy paste, if there was any significance in that. I do think the whole thing is silly, but it was genuine curiosity.

Why are you so emotionally invested in this? You replied to them replying to someone else. Why are you so upset? If it's a sovcit, who cares about their stupid bullshit? Why did you continue to interact by replying to a reply that wasn't directed at you? If it's a troll, why do you care?

But yeah, man, it's pretty entertaining to read arguments between goobers.

Consider lightening up? Save your vitriol for stuff that matters, maybe?

Is this comment not under the license?

You literally asked

I think they're saying the anti-Trump conservatives should call them in on other conservatives.

It's significantly different in America. I think doordash has different payment structures in Europe bcos of laws whereas, in most of America, drivers are paid next to nothing. It's like tipping culture with American service workers, except way worse.

So like, inflated prices (set by the restaurant and optional, but often done to make up for doordash's cut) + delivery fee (pocketed by doordash of course!) + ridiculous tip bcos now I gotta pay this driver's livable wage.

Door dash really is an unsustainable business. It's probably gonna tank in the next 5 years, I'd bet.

You just linked back to the article from the OP?

Not all religious people use abusive child rearing techniques and punitive social controls.

Even if you were more specific to say "all organized religion", but even that would be purely speculative on your part, because it is literally impossible for you to know.

Definitively, your "all of them" statement is wrong. Evidence? My own upbringing where I was allowed to leave the church with basically no resistance.

Otherwise I agree with you. But don't go tying weak speculation with strong arguments- you're making your argument, and mine by extension, look less true.

From my perspective, organized religion predisposes people to being easily brainwashed.

Someone that is a decent person BECAUSE of their invisible friend in the sky will also do and permit evil things if they are convinced that it pleases invisible sky friend.

I'd honestly rather people that "need" religion to "be good" just be bad. Then we can weed them out easier.

Did you just stop reading after the first sentence?

Yeah bro, because hating Trump means I want to gargle Biden's balls. You're a waste of time.

But, for the sake of others reading this:

Trump said that if hostages weren't released, there would be hell to pay in the middle-east. In other words, he applied pressure to HAMAS- but not, you know, the genociders.

Additionally, if you click on the source noting Trump's incoming envoy's vague "involvement", you will note that he had no direct involvement in the negotiations. 🤔

Edit: I take it back, tentatively. There was a second reference in the following sentence that elaborated on the Trump admin's involvement. Interesting. Okay. So it seems that they did pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire.

We'll see how long that lasts, considering the last ceasefire lasted 6 days and all.

Acting like Trump is easing up the genocide is fucking delusional.

"Trump is the reason for the ceasefire!!"

Are you intellectually dishonest or just stupid? The ceasefire that has been being planned for months, with literally 0 involvement from Trump, because he literally had 0 authority until like a week ago? Holy fuck.

looks back at the 7 year old Elder Scrolls 6 trailer

Also, I wouldn't frame it the way you framed it, but I don't think it is racist to say "I'm not surprised by a Black American having a criminal record". Not because Black Americans are predisposed to crime, but because they are targeted by overpolicing and system racism lmao.

Edit: 1/7ish Black American Men have been to prison. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5996985/#%3A%7E%3Atext=We+estimate+that+3+%25+of%2CAfrican+American+adult+male+population.

You know South Africa had(has?) apartheid, right? Culturally, yes, they are proclived to racism.

edit: yeah it ended in 1990(1994?). Lmao. Within the last 30 years they were an apartheid state.

Lol I agree with the sentiment, but pornhub isn't blocked by law. It has chosen to stop offering services in those areas because of the relevant laws.

This is affecting them, too. But it isn't hard for them to acquire a vpn, so not really.

I guess it depends on how they identify themself. If they consider themselves cis, then they almost certainly are cis? So the trans label does not apply. If they don't identify with the gender they were assigned at birth, then they are not cis. Therefore they are trans. No?

I'm not sure that "casting a net" of any size matters. Sure, you can say that there is a spectrum or gradient of gender. But I don't see how that changes anything. Being trans isn't a gender. It means that you no longer identify with the gender you were assigned at birth.

Of course, there might be some social stigma associated with being trans that may encourage some people to be offended by this take? Like if you're a non-binary person you might not really think of yourself as trans due to preconceived ideas and internalized transphobia. Of course I'm not going to go around calling someone trans if they don't identify themselves as trans anyway, but in my mind I was more answering the question in an attempt to be inclusionary towards people who may want to claim the label but aren't sure if they fit it.

I'd say anybody who is gender-nonconforming, non-binary, etc, is trans.

They may not always suffer from the same level of transphobia as MtFs or FtMs, but they are no longer identifying as the gender they were assigned at birth. That makes them trans, imo.

Different person

lol
