I wasn't home...

"The strong should be allowed to do whatever they want to the weak" A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…

I don't think I understand your question.

What scenario are you imagining with these questions?

Yeah, not here.

I've had shit stolen. The police "handled it" to an extent but we will never get back priceless family heirlooms given to us from my wife's side of the family. Fuck thieves.

In civilized countries “self defense” means you might have to punch someone.

My back is fucked and have an 80% rating from the VA. I'm not getting into fist fights anymore.

If someone gets blown away stealing shit, the world has become a better place, frankly.

Note how I left out theft. That’s because you can’t directly use violence to protect property.

I remember hearing this when I lived in the UK for a few years and I was blown away. What are you expected to do if being robbed? Let it happen?

What country do you live in? I’m curious which one has no theft or violent crime.

That was in response to being robbed.

I think the phrase you're looking for is “defending yourself”.

Sorry. It’s not okay to oppress women (or anyone else). Don’t give a fuck what any religion says.

Watch your back. You might hurt it contorting that much to make every world problem the US’s fault.

As if this religion (and many others, yes) didn’t always have this problem.

I was forbidden from having a MySpace account. It didn’t stop me.

Infinitely incorrect. Not reproducing is the greatest lack of a negative impact a single person can have on the environment

Don't stop there. You can end all your emissions now by killing yourself.

NOTE: I would not like anyone to kill themselves. I am pointing out the logical end to this particularly stupid argument.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's true. Here's some US data I found with one quick search.

To add to that, as underdeveloped areas become more modern and income levels increase, it tends to follow that meat consumption increases along with it.

I would be very happy to be proven wrong on this.

That is a good example and heavily informs my voting habits.

Obviously women DO have it worse

In what ways? That's important.

For example, we're WAY better at killing ourselves.

“But the defect that prevents independent presidential candidates West and De la Cruz from appearing on Georgia’s ballot does not pertain to the number of signatures acquired; it is that West’s electors and De la Cruz’s electors filed no nomination petitions at all,” Warren wrote

This is who you want representing you? They couldn’t even properly get started, seemly because of a misunderstanding of the law.

I also find this quite telling:

A spokesperson for West’s campaign urged voters to still choose him even though such ballots wouldn’t be counted.

You had no chance before though third party voters don’t like to admit it. Now you literally have no chance in hell and yet you still want to siphon votes. Hmm.

Atheists: Us too, right?…

That's how Reddit used to work until they made the idiotic change (IMO) to go the other way. A blockee loses the ability to even participate in any thread/post started by the blocker.

For example, after the change if I blocked you now, you wouldn't be able to respond to me or anyone else further down a thread I started.

This is a boon to bullshitters, disinformation campaigns, etc since those people could just post their bullshit and then block anyone who attempted to call them out.

I meant in terms of hiding a particular user.

To me, blocking means "I don't see $". Not "$ doesn't see me". Ad blocking, script blocking, site blocking via DNS, etc is my mental model.
