The hunters I know who carry a pistol do so do put down the animal in the case that the first shot didn't do it but I don't think it's that common especially now that it's virtually impossible to get a permit for pistol in my country

Mikäli puhut vedeneristyksestä, niin sekään ei taida enää nykyään olla luvanvaraista touhua

I don't think it would necessarily mean more cars. It means that your car takes you to work but instead of sitting in the parking lot whole day it drives other people around making you money and then at the end of the day it takes you back home and perhaps then goes back to being a taxi for the night.

Are these things in conflict somehow?

I like people who demonstrate the capability to think independently and come up with original ideas. The opposite of this are people with whom I only need to hear your stance on few subjects after which I know what you think about everything else too. If you agree with your friends about most things you're probably not very interesting person. Same applies if you disagree about most things too.

Oh cookies auto delete here I come

I only post pictures on twitter. I don't engage in conversations. Ever. That's what reddit and now Lemmy is for.

I absolutely have not said that

EDIT: apparently I did say that. Don't know why but I fixed it now

I don't agree with that.

It's not their gender I have issues with. You can claim to be anything you want and I'm fine by that. It's only when people start demanding special treatment when I stop being nice.

In my native language there is no even he/she pronoun. The word is "hän" and it's gender neutral. You can be male, female, FTM, MTF, non-binary or what ever and you're still called "hän". That is what inclusivity looks like. Progress is caring less about ones race and gender - not more.

in this case it just sounds like you believe trans people don’t exist or are mentally ill members of their birth gender.

Are you okay? I'm pretty sure trans people exist. That's the weirdest accusation I've heard for a while. What are they holograms then?

I still don't get how misgendering makes makes one a transphobe. If you look like a woman I'll call you a woman but I do it not because I have to but because I generally try and be polite. However when we start policing language and demanding to be called this and that is when I sign out. It has nothing to do with not liking trans people. Atleast not in my case.

What does "hates lgbt" mean in this case?

EDIT: just show me the hatefull comments. I'm out of the loop

It's bit of a stretch to jump from misgendering to transphobia what ever that means. I have a relatively popular twitter page that's filled with pictures of me dressed as a woman so maybe that counts as evidence of me not being a transphobe but I still block everyone with pronouns in their bio because I think it's stupid. Especially coming from a culture with gender neutral pronouns.

Many people would be surprised how "intolerant" big part of the gay community is too. Nobody gets offended if your grindr says stuff like "no femmes"

Very few people declare themselves as anti-something. It's usually the mob that does that to individuals who say things that with sufficient amount of mental gymnastics can be made to sound like bigotry. This kind of thought terminating labels are the easiest way to get out of critical thinking.

One is illegal in every civilized country and one is not

Hard to imagine a dog wearing safety boots, hardhat, hi-vis vest and safety goggles while also having completed the proper safety training to enter the jobsite

It's safer to back into a spot than back out of it and personally I find it easier especially if it's a narrow spot. Also means that my car is then straight in the middle of the it.

In all honesty it's something I do mostly because it's what I've always done. I also like to paraller park into tight spots because I like the challenge.

How is this gas lighting though?

What are you arguing for exactly? Because if it's that social media is not important then I 100% agree with you but what does that have to do with leaving Twitter for Mastodon?

Yeah I'm sorry but that's just not true. Mastodon has 7 million users and Twitter has 400 million. It took me a literal decade to build the following I now have on twitter. That's not easy to replace and frankly I don't even see why I should.
