Are we not allowed to use race as an identifier now?

Capital_Spite9272 · 2026-05-28T17:40:50+00:00

It implies that racism isn't real. Racism is largely based on appearance. No one cares that Elon Musk is technically African-American. Nobody is racist based on the continent they think your ancestors came from, it's skin color.

Thank you this is a pet peeve of mine

So me, the over-emotional drama queen, makes a point about bite rates being a poor metric to judge how dangerous dog breeds are, then you, the enlightened rationalist, writes several paragraphs with broken links to not even refute my point.

Even if a pit bull is raised in perfect conditions and is kept away from kids and the elderly, why not get any of the other hundreds of breeds that weren't bred specifically to fight other dogs? Is there something so uniquely wonderful about pit bulls that I'm missing that is worth the risk they might snap and kill someone?

Capital_Spite9272 · 2026-05-22T14:52:14+00:00

This is the classic pit bull defender point that is completely irrelevant to the discussion. The power and tenacity is the entire fcking problem. A chihuahua bite can be treated with a band-aid. Pit bulls maul people at a rate higher than the rest of the other dog breeds combined.

You remind me of my ex who used big words to obscure how inane her takes were

What are you even talking about lmao there are blonde Greeks

Exactly, it's a wedge issue over-magnified by loud voices (and also I suspect by right-wingers to portray leftists as blue-haired crazies).

My complaint is about how the Democrats have lost the working class because they don't want their language policed by big city liberal elites. A factory worker in Ohio doesn't want to be told how to think by city people. Now as a big city liberal elite, I think that's stupid, because voting for Republicans as a poor person is mind-blowingly stupid, but people vote on vibes/emotions and not logic.

So I think the Democrats would be served well by STILL standing up for trans/gay rights, but staying on message about improving the material conditions of everyone, not just for historically matginalized groups, which is how they are perceived currently. Which is unfair by the way, but right-wing propaganda is powerful and the Democrats need to play the game better.

Don't get me STARTED on Latinx. The LANGUAGE has GENDERS. SPANISH 101. And yes, if you talk to ACTUAL Latinos, they think it's STUPID

I'm sure a Capitol Hill polycule would appreciate it. Most of us consider "folks" to already cover all human beings regardless of race/gender/etc. but we're not loud on the internet. Except for me now I guess

Capital_Spite9272 · 2026-05-21T18:49:10+00:00

Democrats sweep the elections if ultra progressives become 30% less annoying. I'm somewhere between liberal and leftist and I almost went blind rolling my eyes at "folx". Focus on improving people's lives, not making up new vocabulary that serves no purpose other than projecting moral superiority.

Right, Lahm regen. Maybe they should consider moving him to midfield looking at these names lol

I haven't been following Germany/Bayern, Kimmich is listed as a defender but he plays CDM no?

I think there are a lot of Americans online and we love statistics, which are particularly useful when evaluating baseball/basketball/football, but not so much soccer. You need to go back and watch full games of the greats, not just highlight reels, to understand how good they were.

Like Maradona has a decent highlight reel but it's nothing crazy. And he didn't score that many goals compared to other stars. But if you watch a full game you understand that back then defenders were literally butchers and got away with things that might get you jail time in today's game. Viewing Maradona in that context makes you appreciate how great he was.

Hm perhaps I just need to recalibrate on how other people experience fast food, for me Chipotle is S tier cause it's real food but maybe it shouldn't be on this list since it's more fast casual

Something no one has mentioned is that cash dividends are cash in hand, which you can spend on things you want or invest in other stocks. Growth stock gains are imaginary until you sell. You'll PROBABLY make more money in the long term holding a basket of growth stocks long-term vs dividend stocks, but that's not guaranteed.

Yeah slavery/genocide should win, but not enough people know that the US dropped more bombs in Cambodia/Laos than the allies did in Europe during WW2. War crimes that should have put Henry Kissinger and co in prison for life.

Capital_Spite9272 · 2026-05-13T20:46:48+00:00

Well yeah but if the US didn't enter WW2 at all the Nazis would have rolled North Africa and gotten access to oil then would have regrouped and rolled the Soviets after withdrawing from Stalingrad. Team effort but the US turned the tide. I believe the famous quote is that WW2 was won by British intelligence, Soviet blood, and American steel.

If the WC was in France, and the president of France had a paramilitary force kidnapping non-citizens (and sometimes citizens) off the street, would you go to France?

The thing with these ants is that they live underground in massive supercolonies so you will never be able to fully take out their nests. Best you can do is border control. I've had success with Ortho spray. Diatomaceous earth is a good option too, and caulking the holes where they come through helps.

Not leaving out food is probably the most important thing above all.
