Do you habitual judge people entirely on their fuckability? I mean, I have little opinion of Asmongold except what I see other people saying about him on the internet, but that seems like a weirdly sexualized take on things.

I dunno, sounds pretty shitty to me.

Which one?

Literally means figuratively now.

Yes, language changes, that is why you don't rely solely on individual words to define your argument.

The reason people might argue despite agreeing outside semantics is that they never bothered to go beyond a very basic explanation of their argument. If your sole disagreement comes from a differing interpretation of a word... then do your best to define your argument better. Otherwise you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

If you like one loud shrill unchanging tune, sure.

We're always redefining words, that's how language works. This isn't even close to the most egregious within the last couple decades.

Oh, he definitely does malign things that hurts both the US as a country and Earth as a whole... but not everything he says is indicative of what he does. If you simply take everything he says at face value, you will get so mired in bullshit that you won't be able to pull yourself out when something meaningful does happen.

If you just sum it up as being stupid, you ignore the inherent nature of it.

It's intentionally stupid to make you pay attention to instead of anything truly meaningful. The political equivalent of saying something wrong on the internet just so some angry nerd comes along to correct you. He is stoking outrage for the sake of outrage, so that his bedfellows can capitalize on it, and he can mooch off them.

One of our cats screams the whole time, the other pees himself and huddles in a corner of the carrier.

I mean, technically speaking, it's cycling all the switches. You use one main switch to simplify the process, but it controls all the other switches as well.

Provided he would even be willing to trade that. His entire business seemed to depend entirely on Anakin (who was taken from him), so holding on to the one slave he had left, even if just out of spite, was probably more important to him than a little bit of bling that would be fleeting.

And I'm sure he wasn't a bitter resentful fuck who'd keep the slave just to spite the person who took his livelihood from him...

She wasn't a queen in the traditional sense, it's an elected position on Naboo. Hell, even on Earth it's not necessarily an omnipotent position. Just because they hold a high position doesn't mean they can wield that power for whatever whims they want. They have a whole planet to take care of, first.

Revolutions tend to overthrow monarchies that ignore the needs of their populace.

That was literally the main point in 1984. The mass-surveillance wasn't literal, but meant to be implied by the despotic authority of "Big Brother". In reality people were encouraged to tell on each other. A neighbor of the main character meets him while he's incarcerated at the end of the book, sent to prison because his own children told on him about how he talked in his sleep... and he was proud of them for it.

A lot of people were hopeful, and a lot of people wanted him to seem progressive, so they could lean further right with less pushback.

Grellow.

Or, if you're feeling nasty, yeen.

Go back to eating your greasy newsprint with cheese.

He affixed an adapter with super glue and it failed.

Part of the fun of a forum is interacting with people as well, which OP didn't do. Just shit in the forum and fucked off.
