Well a hypermarket is to a supermarket what a supermarket is to a small grocery store.

So just a very large supermarket that families would usually use for "the big shop". I assume the equivalent is one of those markets you need a card to enter in the US, idk.

Except you don't need a membership (but usually there's good benefits if you have one) and you it's not all family size products.

Oh my bad, actually the definition is just supermarket+department store, basically.

I think that's more "adult diaper-man"

500m to a small one, 1.2 to a fairly sized supermarket, some 3 km to a hypermarket.

Walking to the hypermarket and back is something I used to do quite frequently with a friend or another, but it is a slight chore, and I wouldn't enjoy going in -25C.

Usually if I have to walk I'll go to the supermarket, 1.2km is a very reasonable distance to walk.

Or 500m for some quick stuffs like a few beers or tobacco from the closest small store

This has the side effect of banning cheap plastic trash in your cheap chocolate

You really want to do the whole American vs European chocolate thing?

Because Euroean doesn't taste like vomit, unlike all US chocolates.

The food act the ban is based on is from 1938, whereas this import ban is from like the 90's, so I'm more leaning to some capitalist shenanigans to block a competitor from a market idk. Although they were illegal even before that based on the law from 38, someone had imported some and were selling them and then they did the recall and import ban

And theyre serious about enforcing that

In January 2011, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a 300 Canadian dollar fine for carrying one egg across the US border into Minnesota. In June 2012, CBP held two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car upon returning to the US from a trip to Vancouver. According to Joseph Cummings of Seattle, Washington, one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as "$2,500 per egg".

Not bad

Become an extremely skilled superassasin and start taking out politically powerful bad people?

A bit much to ask, I think. But I think it could make a difference.

and party on dudes

This is why punctuation matters.

It's the difference between helping your uncle Jack, off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

You misspelled "efficient"

Wow, what kind of a retarded person is this?

A corrupt one?

I like it, and tbh I reviewed the episodes on IMDB a bit higher than I would've, just because it was review bombed.

It's honestly pretty decent marvel show. It's not cinema, no, it's marvel. But I like marvel, and I'm really pro having a show for black girls. Sounds woke? I mean it to.

Some of the shit might feel ridiculous and over the top, but then if you were a young black woman, you'd probably feel that for most of the strong cishet male lead movies.

I've liked the subplot as well. It's kinda clear where it's going (I'm only on ep 4, starting 5), but they're still keeping someone for the nerdier fans to speculate on.

I'm enjoying it so far. Better than the Librarians which I've been binging as a setup to watch the new one.

Well, yes, that's my point, sort of. I'm pointing out that it's never really black and white in that way, so his proposal of opposites isn't really that good.

Thanks. That's some tasty info, gonna need this when forging my own forks in the post-apocalyptic nightmare hellscape we're going to enter in the next few decades.

Decades obviously I won't have even gave a downloaded Wikipedia, I'll just go by drunk memories. And thus this will be there somewhere.

Words have meanings. What is it you think I'm "soapboxing" here? By that logic, you could just dismiss literally anything online. "You just want a soapbox, so I'm not gonna answer your EXTREMELY VALID QUESTIONS THAT YOU GAVE AS AN ANSWER TO A POST ON A FORUM.

Alright, "buddy", be a hypocrite. I do care for the world, because hypocrites make the world suffer, but I don't care about you personally. I just care that your personal ego and fears are in the way of a good world we could have.

You're defending a view... without being able to defend it in any way or without answering any of the questions put to you. The topic of this thread is "is being Christian compatible with being trans", but you refuse to talk about it.

No, I never said I was in a debate. Did I?

argumentum

You use words you don't understand? (That's a rhetorical question, I can see you do.)

"Dogma", "sacrament"? It's all Greek to me...

Name one “Christian value” which you can and should take from Christianity. And that is specific to it. Not like “Christianity teaches us that you shouldn’t kill everyone you see on sight” like the golden rule I mentioned earlier.

No.

A Christian value.

Go ahead.

I’ll wait.

No, you just keep defending this bullshit and then you wonder why we have to go through wars and shit.

Stand up and call monotheism the cancer it is. There’s nothing inherently good in it. Nothing. But there is a lot of inherently bad things, like dogma, and straight up anti-LGBT values.

Alright, sure, "the topic of this thread, which you're defending, is", does that make you feel better, and can you now you start answering, or is just that you're arguing in such bad faith you have zero intention of answering ANYTHING?

"Soapbox".

Again, I'm not an atheist, buddy. I've simply asked very simple questions, like "please elaborate on what you think 'Christian values' means" which you keep avoiding, because you can't define it. Because it's all hypocrisy and not a genuinely held belief. Which just proves what utter bullshit it is.

Monotheism is cancer, yet you keep defending it.

edit oh and why would I give two fucks about who you block?

Deflecting again? Wow. So surprised. You can't answer anything or define anything.

Yet you imagine you're in a "debate"? Thanks for the laughs.

What I've been telling you is that you're wrong.

Name one "Christian value" which you can and should take from Christianity. And that is specific to it. Not like "Christianity teaches us that you shouldn't kill everyone you see on sight" like the golden rule I mentioned earlier.

No.

A Christian value.

Go ahead.

I'll wait.

No, you just keep defending this bullshit and then you wonder why we have to go through wars and shit.

a failure of power, it's a failure of language.

And what is scripture made out of again? God .. or language?

You're really gonna make me go through all the tedious examples of how illogical monotheism is? No thanks.

Yes I have read the Bible

The whole Bible, not just bits which you found through googling it? The actual, whole book, from cover to cover?

I was Baptised in my early 20s

You read the whole Bible before deciding everything in it is true and thats definitely possible, despite there being sentences like "God can create triangles with angles of ≠ 3?"

Alright, well, you do you m8.

Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending

If you show me a healthcare system that has as much systemic rape in it that Catholicism does, I'll show you a healthcare system which I criticise and advocate to reform.

If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

I'm sorry but I'm not smoking crack and can't keep up with you.

If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying "a guy threw red paint on my face", and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying "a guy threw red paint on us", especially when you then don't find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don't even recall ever seeing any.

I don't care for your personal history, it had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, which is the topic of the thread.

Monotheism is bad and religious people, monotheists especially, are usually dragged into progressive values despite their resistance to them.

It's beyond insane how much of the world you're having to ignore just to keep identifying as a Christian despite not believing in single tenet of the religion.

So I remind you of the argument I said before; it genuinely wouldn't make any rhetorical difference what religion you changed into this conversation for Christianity. You ask whether Christianity is compatible with being trans, but then you refuse to say what notion of being Christian is.

So I'm to just take it that you just like to think your Christian, despite deriving all your personal moral from the world, like people do?

You can't name what these "Christian values" are that you're asking about. Yet you insist that you have them.

Wtf?

I need to verify them actually being contradictions to answer your comment

That would require actually reading the Bible. Have you? I have. As I told the other person, I've had a Christian confirmation when I was 15.

don't see how other self professed monotheists raping little boys disproves monotheism

Disproves? As in, we're going to argue whether a single God actually exists? Don't be childish.

My proof is that the the Bible isn't the word of God is the Bible itself.

Eventually God can't make a triangle which doesn't have three angles. Because then it wouldn't be a triangle, see? You can go ahead and start looking into those contradictions, although I assume that if you actually do, that will be the most Bible you've ever actually read.

would love nothing more than to see these people drowned with a millstone... Although that's probably too kind to them.

Yet you defend the system which makes it possible in the first place, became the act of rape is so disconnected from you supporting Christianity that you think it's morally alright to still "believe" despite the massive and SYSTEMIC raping of children the Catholic Church did.

It doesn't matter what hour Jesus died in. It matters that there's contravening accounts. If there's a contradiction, both obviously can not be correct and thus the Bible can not be the infallible word of God, despite claiming so.
