  • These things are not comparable. This person you spoke to has urges, not beliefs. He clearly doesn't believe it's right to want to fuck kids. Nazism is a personal political view, and that view includes the belief that I don't have the right to exist. That the people I love don't have a right to exist. That is not an exaggeration, that is a fact, and you have to accede it as reasonable to work with someone who believes it. I do not, never have and never will, and I'm sick and tired of people pretending like a Nazi will just up and abandon the monstrous core principles of their entire platform. You will never budge them, they will only drag you down to their level if you try. Other opinions are fine; Nazis are not.

  • You, and most others, have clearly forgotten that there is a line and that line is Nazism. Not "everyone is a Nazi". Just the ones willing to sit by quietly and let them advance their agenda, instead of loudly and violently fighting them at every turn. You might not be able to admit it to yourself, but I don't concern myself with the opinions of Nazis so I don't really care what you think about the fact.

  • Unfortunately this is incorrect as far as these ideologies go. They're fundamentally incompatible with the principles of a free democratic society and so cannot be tolerated by anyone who claims to uphold the values of a free democratic society. If claim to uphold those values, and you're sitting at the table with those people: No you fucking don't. "Good person" and "correct" do not enter the equation at any point.

  • The autistic trait that comes back to bite me most often is the unshakeable confidence that if I just show someone the truth, they'll believe me.

    This has bounced around in my skull since I read it in a meme here. I hate how true it is.

  • You really don't see what's happening around you?

    Let me just make sure we're on the same page with a little maths problem: you have nine people and a Nazi eating dinner at the table together. How many Nazis are at the table?

  • Well, the original bill itself wouldn't have been written with this in mind, but the update was definitely written in such a way that it applies to everyone but can be used against prisoners as well.

    These are the kind of activities typically covered under "outfitting" in U.S. law:

    • Guided hiking/backpacking tours
    • Guided fishing trips
    • Guided hunting trips
    • Guided horseback riding tours
    • Guided kayaking/canoeing/rafting trips
    • Guided wildlife viewing tours
    • Guided photography/sightseeing tours
    • Renting camping/backpacking gear
    • Renting fishing equipment
    • Renting hunting gear (e.g. blinds, tree stands)
    • Renting water sports equipment (kayaks, canoes, rafts)
    • Renting horses and related tack/equipment
    • Renting photography/optics equipment
    • Providing shuttle services for outdoor activities
    • Catering and food services for guided outdoor trips
    • Providing lodging and accommodation services for outdoor activities
    • Operating ski/snowboard equipment rental shops
    • Offering guided winter sports activities (skiing, snowshoeing, etc.)
    • Providing guide services for off-road vehicle tours
    • Operating retail stores selling outdoor gear and equipment

    So I think in addition to fighting fires, they basically want to replace the park rangers they fired with prisoners.

  • Yes, people can be terrible and cruel. Most of us here have been mocked unfairly at some point in our lives, and there's almost never accountability.

    It is best to just ignore those people. In your head you can say to them "Okay, loser" and move on - if they are mean, you don't want to know them anyway.

    AI writes technically good English, but it's very bad at writing with style - it's basically only got one style and it's very easy to pick out. If you want to use AI, you should use it to improve your English writing. You can paste your message, ask it for tips on what you should change, and rewrite it yourself; don't copy paste what the AI writes.

  • At the end of the day, you're either going to sacrifice yourself for her happiness or you won't. And to be honest it's much more likely you won't and shouldn't; if you try you'd both be miserable. Whether or not she does it is entirely outside your control - even if she actively blames you, it's her choice to make.

    The most important thing is to be kind; I think you have to tailor that to the person so I don't know if I can help with the phrasing, but maybe along the lines of how you have to work on yourself.

    Also remember to leave if it starts to go circular.

    I've said what I felt I needed to say, and I'm not sure further discussion will be productive

    sort of thing. I'm sorry you're in this spot bud, it's a tough one, but no matter what happens it's not your fault.

  • We are not talking about fucking in front of children, we are talking about the lived experience of people who that has happened to and how it affected them. That means you are the one drawing false equivalence (you are equating fucking in front of kids with talking about the impact it had on the person). These are life experiences and can be talked about without the need for any thought-policing by you.

    I also made no assertions that the OP was asking for permission to be a paedophile.

    Is that so...

    just asking this question seems noncey

    This you?

  • just asking this question seems noncey

    But why? Would it be noncey to talk about whether we got circumcised as children and how we feel about it now?

    Most people who get circumcised are fine with it and think it's weird or gross to not be. I'm not cut and I hate the idea of it ever being done to me though. Odd how reality defies expectation there. I wonder if that is true of other men too. Hmm, maybe there are other topics this could also be true in, do you possibly think?

    This question is about the habits of people's parents, and how it affected them growing up. This is not a question about fucking kids, and interpreting it as such is so out there it borders on the deliberate, which seems pretty fucking noncey to me. Why are you interpreting this as asking for permission to fuck kids?

  • Why do people ask for me to fix their computer issues, only to ignore me or tell me I'm wrong when I give them the solution? Yet it happens every day. People are weird, man.

  • I do this always. It's the "I'm not a threat" thing. I prefer the discomfort or personal inconvenience to being seen as a threat or even causing anxiety in that direction. Maybe it makes no difference, that's fine, maybe they think I'm weird, also fine as long as it has the intended effect of getting across that I am not a threat. It's worth it for the times it does matter.
