She’s doing exactly the same thing the dude you just accused of oppression is doing.

The main difference is that she has billions of dollars to promote her perspective, and millions of followers that listen to what she has to say. The dude “oppressing” her in this situation is just some random nobody on a site that might as well not even exist for all the cultural power it wields.

You had a pretty reasonable argument on the first post, but this took a hard turn into bullshit real quick.

So who are you voting for then? You continue to avoid the real question.

‘Not supporting a genocide’ is not a candidate running for election.

Nobody here wants to support genocide. It’s not brave statement, it’s fucking common sense. But the options are ‘a guy who’s weakly attempting to deescalate things’ and ‘hurry up and finish your genocide already’. If you truly don’t want to support genocide, there’s a clear pick.

How do you have so much time to spend on this website trying to convince people not to vote? How does someone so passionately stand for absolutely nothing? I’ve seen these same posts from you over and over and over again, yet you never actually have anything to say besides ‘both sides bad, don’t vote.’

If you have a better option, I’d love to hear it. But if not, maybe shut the fuck up and quit turfing for Trump.

They completely cut off their society from the rest of the world, it’s not like any African gets a pass in, they don’t allow anyone that isn’t Wakandan. It was like, a pretty significant plot point.

Do you have any examples of that? I’m certainly no expert in this subject, so I’d love to know more.

I absolutely agree. But it’s up to Congress to actually do that. That’s the branch of government that has failed here.

That’s a problem with Congress. That doesn’t change the fact that we should not give Republicans a new route to undermine the voting process.

Sorry, but this is absolutely a victory for democracy and what little structure our government still has. If the states were to be allowed to remove candidates from the ballot, you could kiss any chance of Democrat candidates showing up on red state ballots goodbye.

I fully don’t get why people are reacting so much to this. Why the fuck shouldn’t I vote against Biden in the primary? He’s going to be the nominee regardless, this is exactly the time for Democrats to get out those protest votes.

Because that’s exactly what makes owning a home impossible instead of simply unrealistically difficult? Our system may be trash, but that attitude is just shooting yourself in the foot while you give everything you have to Papa Bezos.

If everywhere you go smells like shit…

I get where you’re coming from, and it would be great if it was at all possible to reliably identify internet sarcasm, but at this point the waters are so muddy it’s impossible to tell. I have absolutely no faith in anyone online at this point, and most of us are here in the Fediverse specifically because we’re so sick of the crazies all over other social media. I can easily believe there are people that would share exactly what you typed above and mean it.

Frankly, sarcasm is already the laziest, most braindead form of humor anyway. If you can’t even be bothered to at least make it clear you’re joking, it’s really a ‘you’ problem if you get misunderstood.

No is arguing otherwise.

One paper does not make a “fact”. Years of established research and widespread consensus barely justifies labeling a subject as a “fact”.

Have you already forgotten the room temperature superconductor claims from last year?

Let me be absolutely clear. I am in no way trying to discredit this paper. I see no reason to question their findings, it’s good science and absolutely should be followed up on. However, I take strong exception to people jumping on any half decent study and treating it as gospel.

Holy fuck what a stupid response.

Here’s some recommended reading, hope it helps: https://kids.kiddle.co/Hypothesis

One published paper is never sufficient to claim anything as fact. To suggest otherwise is purely ignorance.

That is absolutely antithetical to the scientific process. Nothing is considered ‘fact’ until rigorously proven. This is interesting evidence that absolutely warrants criticism.

Since I’m sure there will be others who don’t bother to read:

Nofap communities tend to have a large overlap with extremist hate communities, and are often used to spread harmful and misleading rhetoric.

There’s also no observable benefit to not masturbating. The proponents portray it as some scientifically proven secret, but it’s the same scam as homeopathy and Gweneth Paltrow’s vagina eggs. Big, vague, impossible to disprove health claims supported by anecdote after anecdote.

Yeah, that one is real competition - at least gameplay wise - and a wonderful example of taking inspiration from Pokemon while still making something their own. It really deserves more attention than it got.

I mean, it’s more competition for ARK than Pokemon. I doubt Game Freak learns anything from all this unfortunately.

Some of us are just here because they killed our app. Don’t assume everyone is here for the same ‘moral’ reasons you are.
