Sigh

She should spend more time in the gym and less time doing hateful bullshit lol

Insufferable.

Found the idiot.

You don't have to care about every single thing in the world. It's perfectly valid to not want to deal with or think about trans people as long as you're not actively trying to sabotage them. I'm sure there are dozens of "movements" you are unaware of, and can't bother to give a damn about even if they were explained to you.

Ah, the unchecked power to suggest, and to have ignored, the idea of wearing a face covering to keep people's germs slightly more contained?

People keeps downplaying the situation as a "hypothetical". Plenty of comments can be made in the hypothetical that should be reacted to, and some hypothetical comments can even get you sent to jail. Tbh

I can't believe I even have to explain this.

There is no way to argue against a statement like "Women's safety is more important than men's feelings" because it's such a loaded and ambiguous statement. It's just as loaded and misused as the statement "it's wrong to murder children" when used by proponents of banning abortion and limiting women's reproductive rights. You can't argue that it's okay to "murder children" because it's not okay to do that, but they're intentionally misusing the statement to their own benefit for the emotional impact.

There's probably some name for this logical fallacy, but I don't know what it is. But the important thing is that you've fallen victim to it. "Men's feelings" and "women's safety" don't negate each other, and they don't have to compete; not unless you challenge somebody to argue against the statement "Women's safety is more important than men's feelings" exactly as you've done here. You're manufacturing conflict from out of nowhere, and it's an annoying distraction from real-world issues.

Why don't you target your statement a little better? Why don't you hold the actions of rapists and abusers against rapists and abusers, instead of innocent men who've done nothing but try to live their lives and respect the people around them?

Get off your fucking high-horse and rejoin reality with me where we have mutual respect for each other, whether you're a man or a woman.

You are, right now. This post was, as well as every other post. I'm not just going to sit here and bite my tongue. The entire thing was designed as an attack to get a rise out of people, and here it is. Thanks to whoever made this post.

What kind of person would I be if I weren't willing to defend myself?

Feel however you want, but don't drag me into the what other people have done. I don't deserve the prejudice, and I'd rather just not interact with you.

Okay, then just go ahead and whip out a better system. I'm waiting lol

Okay. I don't care enough to argue, so you win. Go hang out with the bears.

"How dare you try to defend yourself or half of all humanity."

Since we're crunching numbers, go ahead and normalize these as a percent based on number of direct bear encounters and number of direct man encounters. This will be the real numbers you care about hahaha

I'm all about personal choice. Please enjoy the nightmare of a bear mauling over just hanging out with a random person (if I even understand the question correctly--what the heck is even going on)

Yeah. Everybody is also wasting electricity on treadmills when they should be chasing deer down by foot to get their exercise lmao

Actively supporting Hamas? Explain.

People who downvoted this are retarded. I'm just explaining the reasons for the lawsuits, which are being carried out by hundreds of professionals who have been working in industry and government for decades. Sorry if the truth is too tough for you to accept.

I want to reply to this, but people who type words in all caps are just too annoying and emotional to bother. It never fails that they just get pissed off and even more entrenched in their opinions lmao

And as always, it's more complicated than the headline. Governments and oil companies are suing over this because EPA has instituted new rules that will require many oil companies to use calculation methods that will vastly over estimate their emissions, even though there is legitimate proof that their -actual- real-world emissions are lower than the emissions factors that have been written into law.

There is a fee associated with these emissions estimations, and it will be in the millions for many companies, while their actual emissions, should they have been allowed to base their estimate on real-world data, could have resulted in no fees at all.

The emissions factors were poorly designed because EPA has tried to push this through in record time in case the next administration aims to shut it down entirely. Had the regs been implemented better, it could have been really great--but our discontinuity of government is not great in every way, and this is just the latest example.

I've had two ASUS gaming laptops, and both of them began having issues within a year, and the second didnt last more than a couple years total.

The first laptop was one of their enormous ROG 17 inch gaming laptops that looked like it had jet engine exhaust. The hard drive died and the power port broke within the first year, and I had to send it in under warranty. The power brick also died, and I ended up having to replace it myself around the 3 year mark.

Thinking it was a fluke, I ended up buying a smaller, more portable ASUS gaming laptop next which had more of a standard form factor. Maybe six or eight months later, that one suffered some issue that required being sent in for service as well. It began experiencing the same issue about four months later, I'd sent it in for repair a second time for the same issue, and they apparently fixed it.

I got to use that laptop for maybe 1.5 years total before it was completely unusable, in spite of two RMAs.

My current gaming laptop is an HP Omen 17 from 2017, and has been completely stable and reliable up to this day. I love to hate on HP because of their dumb printers, but I'm pretty impressed. I'll probably end up buying another one, because I will literally never own another ASUS product ever in my life, and there are only so many manufacturers out there who I'd consider for a laptop purchase.
