It’s interesting that a “level-headed” comment is one in which bringing up the murder of a US president’s rival is not an unexpected topic.

If that is the new threshold for level-headed then this world has gone insane.

Random guess, it grants some sort of overreaching privilege to some agencies and they are clinging onto that overreaching power?

Anyone got a real answer?

Have you ever watched the Daily Show? What you describe has never been the practice there, they shit on everyone, it’s great.

Ahh, you have skinitis, be glad it’s not boneitis.

Go to a local video game bar and play socially there.

I agree with the comedy image.

The only thing worse than the squalor of addiction is the unearned confidence of people with glasses.

Good additions. I actually struggled to find a good way to criticize the left because I am extremely left-leaning myself. I caught myseld writing a “cons bad” post and decided to attack the weaknesses I see in left-wing politics as a bit of a self-challenge, tho admittedly with only about two minutes of consideration. Judging by the points on the post my perspective is not very popular.

Tbh I should give this more thought, finding flaws in your own positions is a harder exercise than I realized. I’ll have to explore and flesh out these ideas a bit more.

In regards to said ownership. It seems like…

…left wingers generally like to point out how the current individual owners arrived at their ownership and any injustices which paved the way. Often pedantically focusing on minor details and making a mockery of their own position.

…right wingers like to point out how anyone can arrive at the top, but prefer to discard evidence of the percentage of folks who are able to do it, instead focusing on exceptions as the rule.

Both are unreasonable in their own ways.

Seconded. 8-12 hours at most.

Tbh I like that. That way no one but me can answer calls on my phone.

Ah great, well thank you for the explanation regarding their implication. That is helpful.

Do you happen to also understand if their position is logical, or is your meaning then, “They murder, so we must murder them, so that all of the murderers have been murdered.”

(Please correct the above if I am misunderstanding)

Because there is a bit of a problem with that sentiment as well.

I’m not stating that you take this position, so do not take this next statement as targeted at you, rather it is targeted at those who may hold the above sentiment. That is, progress is rarely generated from the barrel of a gun. Then we live in a world where B’s hate against A is justified, because A hates B. This is a perpetual cycle of endless violence and war, that is the end result of this type of thinking, and why these comments are so negative because a lot of us have lived long enough to see this cycle, every day, it does not end through bloodshed.

I’m not sure if you are attempting a platitude or are making a point, but to make a point your logic should be sound.

Your logic is that if an average first world person cannot live in a place comfortably, then you have an unstated implication that they should not receive support against death. Please correct if you were implying something else, would have been easier to know if you had spoken less vaguely.

Nonetheless regarding said “logic”, (TLDR it’s not logical) I don’t see the logical connection between the tourism experience of visiting a country under siege and how that determines whether the residents of that country should be exterminated.

If you were making a point, could you elaborate on this connection? If however you were attempting a platitude, no explanation needed, you succeeded.

But that is the answer to the question. I’m not understanding the alternative. If the person wants to ask, “What race are you?” They should ask using those words.

I can’t recall a time ever needing to know anyone’s race. So I’ve never asked this question in 50 years, but perhaps one day? Idk, seems like a potentially insensitive question.

I find your response to be a bit of a jump to the conclusion you want to be true.

Maybe it is made up, is there a lack of evidence? Could you provide more information as to why it appears to be made up?

And an excellent filter.

I have met many people who refer to themselves as super tech-savvy, it usually means the conversation is going to be a lot of nodding and smiling on my part.

Obviously I don’t know you, but your comment gives me that vibe.

Now on topic, why does growth matter? Who cares about the tech illiterate? Big doesn’t mean good.

Every site I’ve been part of has been a better experience when limited to erudite access.

If a person cannot think for five seconds of their time, what value do they bring?

Well, its a federation. So the instances that wish to be associated with such, will be. And the ones that don’t, won’t be. Your language is limited by your concept of a website. Reconsider the concept if you wish and update your language accordingly. It will make your comments more clear.

We are checking.
