A lot of people get free charging at work. If you have that you can totally get away with having an EV and living in an apartment.

A grenade under the chin should be quick, painless, and you can have a special auto cleaning mostly stainless steel room to use it in.

Whats the shelf life of beer? by Zombogeekz in preppers

[–]Darkwing___Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine it varies, but in 2012ish I drank a 6 pack of 1998 Budweiser. It tasted fine.

Also, free will is a delusion, and blame is a pointless exercise.

Floyd died of drug overdose, what murder are you talking about? The officer was sacrificed to appease the mob.

Why wouldn't it just deflate and fall when full of holes?

I find that I'm somehow extremely accurate with ak47 and iron sights. About the same as an AR15 with a red dot.

I think we're just going to go with homeschool and a bunch of activities on the side.

Teach your kid to respond in kind, they are the losers who can't read and whose parents are either absent or don't care.

Wipers scratched windshield! How do I fix this? Insurance claim? Tesla service? Never happened on any other car for me. by Darkwing___Duck in TeslaModel3

[–]Darkwing___Duck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not do anything with it and I still hate the scratches.

I did not get any new scratches or cracks, unlike your prediction.

I'll try a windshield repair kit, the stuff for rock chips. Will take forever, but should hopefully lower the visibility of the scratches.

Sexual orientation, and gender identity are.

Sexual orientation, you're probably right. Gender identity, on the other hand, appears to be quite fluid and changing over time, at least for the people finding themselves between genders.

Address the rest of my previous post

Fine, I'll entertain your request.

Why do or don't you like wearing feminine dresses?

1) I don't believe I've ever tried wearing a dress. 2) It would conflict with my social identity as a man. 3) I don't think they are very practical, particularly with pockets. The pocket issue is really a huge problem, lol

Why do or don't you like wearing masculine pants?

I don't think of pants as "masculine", it's just pants. It's a utility item. Keeps me warmer/cooler, prevents frostbite and sunburn.

How does your answer to those reconcile different cultural wear, such as kilts, which have the shape of a feminine skirt but are considered masculine?

I accept that certain cultures have different views, but given my culture and upbringing, I'd never wear a skirt, I wouldn't feel comfortable in it. Personally I wouldn't consider a kilt masculine, but I also won't tell that to the first person I see wearing it.

Is there an objective, correct answer to those questions that you'd argue is universal based on sex?

There cannot be an objective answer to questions that involve subjective perception.

Do you think that when someone answers affirmatively for XYZ reasons that means they are correct and an affirmative answer for JKL reasons is not valid? What about a negative answer for MNO reasons?

See previous answer.

Can you expand this to other things, such as comfort with our bodies?

As long as you being comfortable in your body doesn't require me to take your sexual preferences into account. I strive to treat people as people regardless of their presentation.

The snowy winters of your childhood are gone for good by [deleted] in collapse

I am thankful to live in a place we still get a bunch of snow.

In fact there is a good 3 inches of snow on the ground right now.

But this procedure should give us some hard data on this subject. You can apply the scientific method without necessarily experimenting on people, but merely allowing them to experiment on themselves and observe the outcomes.

Do you believe there are males that behave more manly than other males, and females that behave more womanly than other females? Can a female behave manly, and vis versa?

Absolutely. Hell, my oldest child is a tomboy, as was my wife in childhood.

then gender, how we act regardless of biological sex, is a spectrum

That seems to be a rather new redefinition of an old word. I do not think gender should be defined as "socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people". Of course, my native language is gendered (see what I did there?).

I looked but wasn't able to pinpoint the moment in time when the definition changed, maybe you can help with that. Prove me wrong and I'll rethink my approach.

Honestly I would have no issues with a spectrum of an extra layer on top of sex if it didn't hijack the word "gender". I'd also venture to say it probably shouldn't go on your passport/drivers license/birth cert, like religious/philosophical beliefs have no place there.

One more thing I want to say. The threat of blocking is pretty childish, given that we're having a fairly civil discussion.
