In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled.

Any suggestions on how to get a car that doesn't track you and was built post-2010?

It's better to eat real food.

What about the trans fat byproduct from margarine production?

Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.

Oh look, a cute friend!

I don't want to say "I told you so", but I told you so.

It's important to mention these flaws with Tesla specifically, because Elon Musk doesn't have the right politics.

PS The name of this community is terribly ironic.

Blocking Data Scraping

They need to keep all that data for themselves so that they can sell it.

Just because you’re used to things working a certain way doesn’t mean that it has to be that way.

True.

Similar arguments have been used against things like abolishing slavery, women entering the workforce and the concept of secular education.

Slavery as it existed in the 1700s wasn't abolished because the rulers had an epiphany and realized the errors of their ways. It was (mostly, not entirely) abolished for practical reasons. Institutionalized slavery still exists. You have prison labor in countries like the US. We also see outsourced slavery to more degenerate countries like China, where they do have actual slaves or laborers who are slaves in every way but name. Have you ever heard of slave free cotton, or slave free cocoa? These words exist because slavery is not gone. Companies and us consumers around the world are indirectly benefiting from slave labor till this day. I have to look long and hard to find stuff that are more ethically produced, you should know that it's hard. We also see sex slavery, which intersects with the porn industry. Some of the women in porn could be trafficking victims. I wonder if liberals who goon to porn understand that.

Women working corporate jobs has brought a lot of economical advantages, no doubt. They pay taxes, they increase productivity, they saturate the job market, etc. But it came at the expense of the family unit, and birth-rates. You have a rising percentage of older people needing care, and a less percentage of younger people to care for and replace them. This is one reason why many western countries are inviting immigrants, to keep things sustainable. But for how long?

Women working is not a new phenomena. Child-rearing, taking care of the husband, taking care of the home, and doing everything a housewife does is a full-time job. It's an honorable job. You seem to have no issue with a woman being obedient to a boss in a corporation, and keeping a smile at all times lest she gets fired. But if it's her husband that she obeys, you suddenly get your panties in a twist.

Just like allowing people the gender identity that feels natural to them and respecting that reality.

It's so natural in fact, that we have an unprecedented number of "trans-youths". I wonder why. Maybe previous generations were just too scared to get out of the closet. Or maybe, it is because young boys and girls are being indoctrinated.

Again, same old “society can only work if we don’t change it to be more open towards people different from me” bigoted bullshit that has been spouted since marginalized people first started getting any rights.

Go and tell that to Ukraine.

You are accusing me of being biased, meanwhile these articles are extremely biased.

I already elaborated on this in previous posts, but the gist of it is that you cannot build a society with all its various systems without having a practical conceptualization of what humans are. This is why your idea of gender-nonbinary, which is impractical to accept wholesale, will never go beyond the bedroom, niche parts of the medical industry, and maybe some transtoilets here and there. 99% of the world will still run based on the concept of two sexes, because it aligns better with reality, because it's what's practical.

In times of prosperity, you can afford to play around with these ideologies (at the expense of some boys and girls), but once that prosperity ends due to war or similarly unfortunate events, all these ideas go out the window!

It's reality. Men who want to be like women, and vice versa, are finding out the hard way.

I'd rather be called a bigot than denying reality to satisfy the desires of fetishists online and the medical industry.

Imo, the biggest tragedy are all the kids that get groomed into undergoing "treatment" for gender dysphoria. Like puberty blockers and even surgery.

I was banned once for saying "there are only two sexes"

Post removed. Reason: Rule 1 (be civil)

even here

Here is especially bad.

You would rather have drug dealers astroturfing online ("wholesome" marijuana threads on Reddit's frontpage)?

During his 2016 campaign he was happily holding up an LGBT flag. A part of that campaign was also "Twinks for Trump". Now this charlatan is turning around and talking about "Christian values".

You can use that rationale to justify any invasion against a weaker nation. All it takes is the lack of morality to justify horrific crimes. Your logic falls flat on its face in cases where force and coercion end up having the opposite effect than your stated goal. Countries in the Middle East are finding themselves more and more inclined to do business with China in times of increased threats and sanctions from the US. The "Great Satan" is hated by the population exactly because of the "diplomacy" that you advocate for. An increased resentment among the population influences politics, which drives these countries closer to enemies to the US.

if we withdraw our support, Israel will lose any incentive to stop the killing. More will die. And that would be the best case scenario.

So if Zionist government officials don't steal taxpayer money in order to fund their Zionist invasion of the Middle East, Israel will kill more people. So Israel must be supported in order to kill less people. Nice logic.

A cornered rat can only do so much before it gets exhausted. It's better to corner a rat and have it rage rather than pouring in all its cousins to make it feel safer in order to pacify it.

I have to point out that your "diplomacy" perfectly aligns with the Zionist project, which does involve a genocide as has been documented time and time again.

I don't like to attack the person besides the argument, but in this case I don't think you deserve the benefit of the doubt because of your colossal lack of empathy and unwillingness to consider solutions that don't involve supporting a full-scale invasion. What's more disgusting than an overtly wicked individual is one who hides behind talks of nuance and who uses fancy deductions (with false premises) in order to put wool in front of people's eyes.

You said in one of your other posts that every person who thinks that porn is bad is bad. So you think that I'm a bad person. It makes sense why you are not being very charitable.

Any psychiatrist who claims to diagnose porn addiction is engaging in malpractice. Porn addiction is not real according to sexual scientists.

Only substance abuse and gambling addiction have made it into DSM. But it is still widely understood that porn addiction is very much real. This is not denied, and is being treated, which is not something you are in a position to call malpractice. It is only a matter of time before porn addiction ends up in DSM as well, because it is a real wide-spread type of addiction.

The problem is religion and fake morality creating conflicts in people’s minds because they don’t realize that masturbation is fine and healthy.

This is not the issue, many people who suffer from porn addiction aren't even religious. The problem is what I described in my earlier comment, which applies to addictions in general, not just porn addiction.

The problem is religion, not porn. Period. None of what you said is scientifically accurate. Porn addiction is a religious issue because religion has fucked people’s heads.

Why are you being so emotional? Go and visit the source that I gave you, they reference scientific articles. They are arguing from an empirical standpoint, not a religious one. Go and visit NoFap Forum or other similar communities and read people's anecdotes about what they are suffering through. Are you going to dismiss all these people as just being fucked in the head because of religion? Grow up.

It is common knowledge that porn is unhealthy.

One point that psychiatrists make about addictions like porn addiction is desensitization. The brain balances the feeling of pain and pleasure automatically, so when you have an abundance of pleasure over a period of time the brain will adjust itself accordingly. This leads to the addict having to pursue newer highs to feel the same pleasure as before. In the case of porn addiction, this could be newer kinks or more extreme scenarios. Many men have unfortunately suffered from erectile dysfunction and worsened relationships with real women due to porn use. This is an established problem.

It is more fulfilling and productive to direct one's sexual urges to a real person than a phantom. This keeps one's self more aligned with what's real and has good chances of establishing real and productive relationships between people. You cannot establish anything real with a phantom. You cannot have children with it, you cannot have sex with it, you cannot have mutual love with it.

There is much more to be said. All I request from you is to have some humility when approaching this issue.

I have no idea what is going on. Is the article biased and not telling us something we should know about the reasoning behind these bills? Are these politicians taking payment from "big-meat"?
