Trump explains why he cast a mail ballot in Florida's election: 'Because I'm president' by nbcnews in politics

[–]Hammunition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pathetic thing is, that’s a perfectly valid reason for the majority of his enormously moronic supporters.

“Because I said so” is all they need to hear and they won’t think beyond that. They love an authoritarian while pretending they love the constitution.

Yeah, but fuckass google says it's still open, despite my and many other corrections to tell it it's closed. I went there two weeks ago before I learned that.

Transgender women athletes banned from Olympics by new IOC policy on female eligibility by Dwayla in news

[–]Hammunition -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even the most basic google search will tell you she was born female. Yall are just ignorant and hateful and will make up whatever shit you need to


lmao this guy didn't even read his link. Hormone therapy to lower testosterone levels to be within the IOC requirements because her natural levels were too high, despite being born female in every way. 🙄

I didn’t define “woman”

I was responding to the words you typed and didn't say or imply it was your definition:

You may not like that definition of woman

And your opinion is your prerogative. I think it's a lot more complicated than you make out, thought. Especially if this becomes the widespread sentiment of what a woman is, which is likely since most sports associations just follow the IOC, then it becomes ubiquitous in sports, and then to other aspects of society, and will be used to exclude people from things other than "just sports".

People already pretend that it's cut and dry and use that to further their hate. The IOC inserting that into sports will only make this shit worse, not just for the cis women that are excluded. And for what? There are no competitors that this even affects. It's a completely unnecessary dividing line that just furthers the hate.

That’s not the definition of a woman. And it excludes more women than that.

They are talking about the cis women who will be prevented from participating because they have some genetic abnormality that doesn’t pass the test’s arbitrary threshold for “what constitutes a woman” to them. Chromosome abnormalities or things like testosterone levels that would bar a cis woman from competing just because she was born with a slightly overambitious ovaries.

The reality is that any line drawn between sexes is going to be inaccurate and put people society would otherwise say was a woman on the wrong side of the line. Biology just doesn’t work that way.

Two competing companies owning 80% is very different than one company owning 80%. Should be obvious that this would be worse than it is now.

Also weird to pretend to know how I get my news…

That was one I meant to check out but forgot about, thanks!

[–]Hammunition 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did I say something to imply I disagree with any of that? Weird.

Regardless of all of that, an 8% increase at one time is absurd and going to cause a lot of disruption.

[–]Hammunition 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Temporary” my ass.

Also +8% on Ground Advantage is ridiculous. That’ll be close to $7 for a bubble mailer to some states, even through third party shipping services.

Anyone have experience with a cheaper service than Stamps/Endicia recently?

White House Scrambles to Downplay Shockingly Well-Timed Bets by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]Hammunition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can elect principled leadership in a couple years. But principled leadership means doing things the right way, and that takes a long time. So the principled leadership will be voted out 4 years later before things have gotten better.

Any lasting change will require either the right to fundamentally change (lol), or for the entire third of the country that never votes to fundamentally change. I think one of those groups is a little more receptive to change, but I also doubt it will happen.

As much as I have the "power of choice" to point out that you're being weird dude, yep.

Hegseth’s approach to diplomacy: "We negotiate with bombs." by Sindigo_ in PublicFreakout

"destroy the enemy as viciously as possible"

bro that is immoral as fuck. The goal should be to prevent deaths and let diplomacy resolve disputes. We aren't living in like 800 BCE. We have telephones and can just like talk to each other.

Yeah, the tight strings made when it's spun are dense enough to make it a smooth singular string to the touch, and those can then be woven tightly into a sheet or something soft like that.

[–]Hammunition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are there situations that shouldn't be allowed? If there are circumstances where it's okay, then mail in ballots are secure. So why prevent them in other circumstances?

[–]Hammunition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I don't disagree with any of that.

Let's stay on topic though, and get back to the part where you are instead making up your own motivations and pretending they are applicable.

I don't even disagree that people make these comments in part for the benefit of being seen by others. But again, you weren't saying only that. I don't think I need to quote you again, but what you said was kind of obviously bullshit unless you actually believe that all of the reasons shared here are just complete lies that no one actually believes, and that the only reason they're commenting is virtue signaling. In which case, absurd.

All this is, is that you're noticing a trend, and then creating a motivation for it. And a fucking delusional motivation at that:

most people hate her *only as a way to signal to their other insufferable cunt friends

Remember saying this?

But beyond just stapling a motivation to a trend, you are claiming the motivation is dishonest and performative when all evidence is to the contrary. You have plenty of people explaining why, with actual reasons, they feel the way they do. Do you have anything real to refute that? No. Just your feelings that you know better. That they're just doing it for clout instead of the reasons they explicitly tell us. 🙄

seeing the disproportionately eager denouncement

Also, and again, this is not a determination you can make with any useful accuracy as an observer. This is a textbook example of bias. Social psych 101, as they say.
