i can't believe cops would do this /s

what

I want my fucking foreskin back

Doom music starts playing

very cool America

you unironically believe that a failed murderous ideology that has led to nothing but poverty, famine, tyranny, violence, and eventually collapse

Capitalism? Rates of poverty are unbelievably high, starving, tyranny, and violence is too, and extremely capitalist countries are in a constant state of collapse and go into recession every few years causing mass starvation, homelessness, and death. As opposed to even shitty communist countries like the USSR or PRC where they were far better off after communism than before communism, even being authoritarian they still had way better standard of living than when they were extremely capitalist & imperialist. Even Cuba, a small island with a dictatorship which has been cut off from most of the world for a large part of its history and has technology outdated by decades, is doing better than some Republican strongholds in the US, which is pretty embarrassing for a country with as many natural resources as the US.

And even if you don't want to consider that, there's pretty much any democratically elected socialist governments which the CIA immediately assassinated & overthrew, which had extremely high success and standards of living increases. But I guess if your democratic leader's head gets blown off during an artificial American-led coup, that counts as a W for capitalism, aye? Entirely orchestrating uprisings in most previously friendly Latin American countries, Iran, etc. and turning them into authoritarian fascist shitholes certainly is a way to make your ideology seem like the only choice.

Capitalism has caused the deaths and suffering of billions. We have seen dozens, hundreds of capitalist regimes fail tremendously, bringing their entire population down with them, multiple times the amount of communist countries that have even existed. Capitalist countries have caused the worst disasters, the worst famines, the worst mass deaths, far more than even the worst communist regimes somehow. Yet you think you can point to the failures of the few communist countries in history and say that it's proof your flavor of fascism is totally better than leftism.

I'm not even a communist. I don't like communism, I don't like any of the authoritarian regimes that followed a variation of the ideology, I strongly disapprove of the people who think the ideology of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. was in any way at all sustainable. But my God it takes a real idiot to not be able to see how modern right-wing capitalism is just as bad if not worse than even those shitty ideologies, the difference being that capitalism has been given infinite chances to fail under the pretext of "oh tens of millions died from this one event but it's fine, that's just normal market fluctuation". You can't even call the US a democratic country at this point, it's an oligarchy for the ultra-rich. Even pointing to other capitalist countries you can see that them partially implementing socialism has made them a far better place than the US, even if still heavily flawed by the capitalism.

is going to totally work this time despite the mountains of evidence that it is a failure in both theory and bla bla bla

Lol yea bro these leftist policies are totally failing in, say, Finland or whatever Euro country is of your desire. Countries that rely on very leftist socdem ideological views which Americans would call "socialist" or even "communist" and have much better equality & standard of living than the US, solely because of those ideologies. Isn't it funny how the further left these countries go, the higher their standard of living and general success, and the further right they go, the more unstable and worse off they become. For example some select places in Europe have tried tasting right-wing ideology for recently and are paying the price for it (e.g. Germany, Netherlands, Italy). Crazy coincidence, isn't it.

I'm sure the massive political unrest, attempt to overthrow the government, hundreds of mass shootings, worst healthcare in the developed world, record garbage education, even worse starvation than China and Ukraine, extremely high crime rate, and everything else the US is going through is a sign of a successful ideology. And similar thing in Canada & to a lesser extent the UK. I'm sure it's those damn communists causing all the issues, if we stray further to the right surely we'll stop all that nonsense!

The current systems are flawed

"Flawed" is an understatement.

but a parasitic ideology that's just as bad, if not worse, than fascism is not and will never be an acceptable solution.

You are delusional

There's a reason why brainless morons cower together in some no name echo chamber like this and larp about revolutionaries.

Looks like r/conservative lost one of their losers. You clearly don't like this forum, so you can cry on your Reddit echo chamber about how everyone on there is a communist, then whine about people brigading your sub when a people disagree with your opinion, but nobody falls for it here lol.

I mean if you wanna be a dumbass that's your choice bro, you can keep getting fucked over by daddy government as you please. But don't come crying to leftists in a few decades when the world's on fire and your entire life is in ruins lol.

lol with how the last few centuries of politics have turned out imagine unironically still being a rightie in 2024, that's pretty embarrassing

i love them personally, it was annoying as fuck not having them on reddit

overdosed on stupid juice

You literally said "so of course hormone treatment [for klinefelter syndrome] is justified". you didn't say the exact words "it's medically necessary" but you're acting like for some reason it's justified for X person to get HRT that exists solely to make their bodies more similar to what would make them comfortable, while it's not justified for Y person to do the same thing. You're drawing arbitrary lines for what specific condition "counts" as justification to get the treatment. And here you are admitting that you label both as "not medically necessary" yet only one you're vehemently against and crying about online?

It's also ignoring the fact that a large portion of people who are trans are also born with "abnormal" hormone production or sex characteristics (major chromosomal abnormalities are reported to be about 8-10x as prevalent in trans populations compared to the general population) and gender dysphoria (along with pretty much every other disorder in existence) is heavily tied to genetics, prevalence of anything like ADHD or gender dysphoria or bipolar can be traced to various sets of specific genes and in the case of e.g. latent gender dysphoria or latent bipolar or latent depression, are often present for someone's entire life (i.e. they're "predisposed" to it) without being "active" but then (irreversibly) start developing from, or are triggered by, events – like reaching a certain point in development (especially puberty), or experiencing certain environmental conditions over a long period of time (especially as a child), or even as an acute chemical response to a drug (for example, anti-depressants and hallucinogens can cause trigger full-blown bipolar in those who are predisposed), or various other factors, and a combination of a bunch of them.

You are discriminating against people for their medical condition and hand-picking scenarios in which medical treatment is "acceptable" with absolutely zero scientific, logical, or moral basis. You are acting on your insecurity, emotions, and hatred of trans people alone, and nothing else.

netherlands, denmark, maybe germany, maybe finland. i'd most rather live in the netherlands or possibly denmark, although it'd probably make more sense for me to want to live in germany or finland because i don't speak dutch or danish lmao. regardless though getting permanent residence in denmark or finland is practically a hopeless goal for a majority of people, so they're basically out of the question

i can get slovak, maybe german citizenship based on descent (i'm in the process of getting the stuff i need from the slovak government to apply for citizenship but they really take their sweet time) and i'm mostly a software guy so it'd probably make the most sense to move to one of those, however the netherlands probably holds way better opportunities for me

for most people getting into another country (especially europe) is out of the question though, you either have to have extremely marketable work experience (like 3-5 years as an engineer or developer) or you have to happen to qualify for citizenship by descent and have the birth/marriage/death/citizenship/residence documents for it (e.g. anyone who had italian citizenship since 1860, anyone who lived in an area controlled by hungary ever since hungary existed, anyone who was polish 1920 or later, anyone who was czechoslovak or german for the past century, an irish grandfather)

I could say that about Destiny 2 but I still feel dirty about giving any sort of money to Bungie

to be ""fair"" i'm pretty sure most (first world) countries actually don't restrict sex between first cousins. or same-sex incest for that matter. could be misremembering though

what is extremely sickening about it is the age the bill wants which makes it not at all comparable to most other countries (well except like France until recently maybe)

i mean it's still pretty incestuous so trying to separate it from other forms of incest as if it's so much different doesn't make much sense

edit: here's a map

lmao i like italy's stance. "yea bro u can fuck ur dad if the news doesn't find out"

That and the software the hardware uses itself is proprietary

why, it's an objectively better format. unless you're on windows xp i guess

one could argue "but a few things don't support it" but that's always going to be a problem with innovation

Actually since 2019 the Celsius is defined directly based off of the Kelvin by the SI

Larger file size means significantly larger cost when you're working with lots of data... especially when transferring data over the internet

That's all Israelis including non-Jews afaik, when we specify Israeli Jews the number is allegedly at least 50-60% being of mainly European descent.

I'm not sure of the semantic difference. When I think "a meter is the distance travelled by light in X seconds" I think m = c/299792458 s, same with Kelvin.

I honestly am not sure what I made confusing. The definition I gave is the SI definition of Kelvin & Celsius since 2019. The formula I gave is more verbose than it has to be but it's what you get when you expand it.
