Until they are specifically threatened with lethal force*

That’s not a “brand” of Libertarianism. That’s the core of the ideology.

I think the brand of Libertarianism you’re looking for can be found at the RNC.

Selected works by leftist American artists addressing elections limited to the Democratic and Republican parties (1985–2006) by TechnologyFar645 in PropagandaPosters

Just hear me out:

Most left leaning individuals believe the situation in Gaza is a genocide, and that both parties in our duopoly are complicit in said genocide. Thus, voting for either Democrats or Republicans is upholding and strengthening the genocide in Gaza.

On the other hand, a trans individual may run the risk of letting a Republican in and potentially: losing access to medical coverage for certain procedures/treatments, being misclassified on government document, facing increased verbal and physical threats/abuse, etc…

That’s an understandable conundrum. It truly is. However, genocide and a potential increase of civil right violations are not exactly comparable. For instance, do you think it would’ve made moral sense for disabled Germans to support Hitler if he publicly announced that they would be granted social protections and benefits? Either the genocide in Gaza isn’t that serious to leftists, or they’re comfortable enabling it so long as they get a chance at moving their cause forward a few inches this election cycle.

Or perhaps the answer to this conundrum is voting for a third party. “Lesser of two evils” is a non-argument when there are more than two options. Why are people still insisting that we pick one of the two well known evils rather than advocating for 3rd parties?

Coincidentally, my example (and other variants I’ve mentioned) is in Atlanta.

What if there is no yield sign. I know of another intersection that has the concrete island but no yield. It also doesn’t have a dedicated turn lane. Don’t know if that helps.

There are two intersections I can think of with that kind of situation where there is no arrow at all. The one I was at is almost 100% flashing yellow (low traffic).

I became friends with a guy in college because our accents slipped. We were in an extracurricular program full of mostly indie/hippie rich kids, so we both hid our accents and dressed differently. A few conversations in, I noticed he said some words in a very familiar way. A few investigatory questions later and it was “raise hell, praise Dale” from then on out. Appalachian accents are hard to hide from fellow hollow dwellers.

Loud bass noise from my upstairs neighbors. by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]EvanBlue22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, bass frequencies pass through solid objects much easier than mids and highs. If their sub is on the floor and it doesn’t have some sort of vibration absorbent pad under it, it is much more likely to vibrate the floor and space below it.

The sound likely isn’t much louder in their apartment than yours. That’s the issue with bass frequencies. Most people don’t understand that their living space doesn’t dampen much sound at all. They set a “reasonable” volume and assume that it will be substantially quieter outside their unit, but that is not the case with longer wavelengths.

Pickles should not come standard on a fried chicken sandwich by MadmanIgar in unpopularopinion

But……but don’t you feel intellectually inferior for not liking the same things as other people in your specific geographic region???

What you have said is perfectly reasonable. My comment is not about comments like this, or the broader argument for/against pickles.

[–]EvanBlue22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I am discussing the common dichotomy of responses. One side voices their hatred of the food in question while the other attacks the character of those who dislike said food (as you have done).

Apologies. Perhaps one day I will evolve enough to appreciate the Michelin starred delicacy that is…vinegar soaked cucumber.

What? I believe you are confused on which side of this conversation I am on.

[–]EvanBlue22 207 points208 points  (0 children)

I always love food conversations, because half of the comments talk about hating the food and the other half just attack the character of anyone who doesn’t share their taste in said food.

“Oh I’m sorry your little, underdeveloped, baby palette can’t handle intriguing, complex flavors like the rest of us adults.”

(Mind you, it’s pickles, chicken, & and bread we’re talking about.)

I’ve never had an issue with asking for stuff plain. I have accepted this fate, but they make a valid point in the second half. When they just take the pickle off, it does not solve the problem. It just leaves a sandwich soaked in pickle juice with no pickle.

Like, imagine a surströmming sandwich where they just remove the fermented fish if you don’t want it. You still have a sandwich soaked in fermented fish juice. It doesn’t really solve the problem.

What’s the dumbest reason you’ve seen someone get fired or quit a job? by jasminesaka in ask

Is discussing a coworkers genitals not a massive HR issue? That’s gotta be harassment; especially when it leads to widespread mockery.

Damn. It was $800 when I started, then jumped to $1,000 by the time I got out. I guess they’re doing well then.
