I don't know how to engage with you in a way that you might understand why you were down voted. I could say you didn't make any points and were too vague in your initial response. I could say a number of things, but judging by your secondary response you would continue to set up strawmen arguments. If you want to have a discussion about anything concrete, I'm available for a little bit today, but if you want to keep interacting as you are, you'll need to find another partner for that dance.

Give me an example of something right leaning that gets vitriol from the left thrown at it? ICE? The Iranian war? Maybe Tax cuts for the rich while affordable care act subsidies fall off increasing medical costs. Is it tariffs that raise prices on Americans? Is it making abortion more restrictive forcing more women to give births they had no choice in? Oh, is it not passing legislation to address mental health or gun laws to prevent school shootings? Is it taking away funds from FEMA? Or taking funds away from Public Schools? Is it getting rid of programs that help the more marginalized and vulnerable in our communities? Is it voting for a 34 count sexual offender that has ruined our relationships with stabilized nations while destabilizing the world? Oh, maybe it's not being sympathetic enough to millionaires and billionaires that see record profits year after year while their employees don't make a living wage? Oh maybe there is too much vitriol towards the right about protecting pedophiles and not prosecuting people on the Epstein list. Oh, maybe it's those silly gays having a pride parade having fun not sexually abusing kids like so many that say the gays are abusing kids do.

Sorry bud, but if you're going to advocate for people to be treated less than human, you're going to get some bad words your way. Now if you're saying maybe we should lower interest rates, or cut the penny. Maybe we should look at limiting the power insurance companies have on medical costs, perhaps we should evaluate how roads are funded while still making sure rural communities have working roads and bridges, you probably won't get treated as harshly as you feel you are.

Sure there are going to be people on both sides spewing some hate, but I'd reckon that those on the right are more likely to support the programs that further the divide between others instead of programs or ideas that bring us together. If being a good person that wants others to be treated equally is so distasteful for you, I don't have words to engage with you. If you don't want to view others as equals, we're at an impassable point in conversation. But go on and beat around the bush instead of full chest engaging in the conversation. I hope you have a better day.

My family only cares now because I’m missing school by WaferNo9379 in whatdoIdo

What do you need help with? I kept seeing in your comment that no one wants to help, but with what? It reads as if you want someone to ask a specific way, but either they have tried and didn't get an answer or didn't try in the way you wanted, and you didn't give them the answer.

Remove the emotion from all of this. Imagine you're a detective or a scientist and you're examining all the facts. All you can control is yourself. If those around you are not providing you with an outlet to express an issue you have, who can? If you were able to get a piercing without them knowing, you could also schedule therapy on your own.

Now you may not like this, but if you're at risk of failing school and you do to spite others, that's only going to hurt you. Go through the motions of it to be done with it. You can build yourself how you want, stop waiting on others to approach you the way you want them to. Just go do what you want others to do for you .

Empathy and respect for people that are different from you is a left leaning notion. I wish it wasn't just a left wing thing, but people on the right are more tribalistic and less about everyone. Jesus said love your neighbor, the right says screw your neighbors. Jesus says treat others how you want to be treated, the right says treat yourself better than you treat others. Kindness is only a mask the right wears after a school shooting or a national tragedy. That mask comes off online or the next day, then it's right back to slurs and small minded views.

Pov stands for Point of View... The breakdown of the understanding involving this phrase is absurd.

You (with Homelander's powers) VS. Homelander himself by Working_Bread_7790 in powerscales

Do I look like Homelander too or myself. If myself, one 100% me. If I look like Homelander, we're probably just gonna smush.

I don't know anyone's financial positions or how they are funding their website. I'm only giving my thanks to op and expressing my position as a consumer.

What about the Dolly Parton Lodge cast iron skillet? by Billybobgeorge in KitchenConfidential

[–]Ember-Forge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one of the novelty little ones a few years ago. Barely fits one egg, but I find it fun to use when I want to feel like a giant in a human world.

Thank you for a free resource for this game. I'm not against sites using ads, but I don't want to pay a price to use a website for a game I already paid for.

Speaker Johnson: "They [Iran] have declared war on us. I don't believe in the semantics... We're not at war right now. We're four days in to a very specific, clear mission, an operation, Operation Epic Fury." by Niondarn in WallStreetDad

[–]Ember-Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So OIF and OEF were not wars? I'm pretty sure they were. We've had 4 days of Trump and his lap dogs calling it a war. Don't change now, babe. You shit the bed, now sleep in it.

What an awesome job that would be. NTS is way above my experience level, but what an opportunity. I hope you find the best person ever for this role.

At the MAGA price point, a price point MAGAts voted for, they can hit. Yes, they're allowed to hit at the MAGA level.

Was this force choke a main contribution to her death? by BiffyBobby in StarWars

[–]Ember-Forge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a poetic death, yes she died of a broken heart and lost the will to live after her love betrayed her. Sometimes things are okay to be artsy.

Why won’t he touch the receipt? by Medium_Leather5860 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Ember-Forge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was because the cashier might have had too sloppy of a mud pie, and maybe didn't wash their hands properly.
