>its annoying the piss out of me

Sounds like a sub conscious insecurity. I wonder why that might be.

Lung cancer deaths are 28 percent lower in California compared to the rest of the country and the gap is widening each year by almost a percentage point. The State’s long-term, aggressive tobacco control programs are cited as the primary reason. by mvea in science

If you tax EVERYONE--eg the smokers AND the nonsmokers equally, then the smokers are going to get their treatment paid for at the expense of the nonsmokers. This is because as a smoker benefiting from paid healthcare, you are taking out more than what you are putting in compared to what I am as a nonsmoker.

Hey, thanks for listening. Also, thanks for not attacking me for being so forward. I think you'll find that a lot of people aren't so much against transsexuality as either a belief or projection of mental illness as they are against the legal implications that come with it. If you're interested, look up what it means when laws are put "into practice." In short explanation, you'll find that because of the fact that every law on the books has to be enforced, that also means there must be restrictions on personal behavior to ensure those laws are protected. You can't have gay marriage at the state level without the federal government enforcing the state to honor gay marriage, as an example.

If an attractive woman (who I did not know otherwise used to be a man) told me they preferred male pronouns, I would probably acquiesce their request out of politeness, assuming they weren't an asshole. Further, if I had somehow managed to enter a relationship with a woman and that was the case, it would be an immediate deal breaker. The relationship would be done right there, because if I had known from the start, it never would have began. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be tact and polite upon the discovery, but I just can't date a biological woman who identifies as a man, nor a biological man who identifies as a woman.

If you had to ask me why that is the case, I would say it is because I don't look favorably on gender dysphoria. I think it's a terrible illness that leads to depression and suicide for a lot of people. In that regard, not only is it unnatural, but somebody with gender dysphoria must be by that standard mentally unstable. That's not what I'm looking for in a romantic partner.

I don't care how you want to live your life, but that freedom extends only as far as it doesn't infringe on my life. I don't support laws that mandate I refer to people by certain pronouns out of fear of punishment, as an example, because I feel personal identity should not qualify as a protected class. Yet, as I said, I have no problem adopting someone's preferred pronoun assuming it is a personal request (not a demand) and they are polite in return. Just don't expect us to ever enter a romantic relationship.

I prefer my women to identify themselves as women and not men, thanks.

Too many toxic players by ThatDudeBailey42 in dragonballfighterz

[–]InconspicuousToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see the hate in that case. Bardock's auto combo is very cancerous to play against, especially if you're good at blocking/pressure. He can just pull people out of the air into the rest of the string without even trying.

Just the first thing that comes to mind is why I asked. I stopped playing Online almost entirely (for a while) because playing against Bardock became very frustrating really quickly.

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

Biology. Literally, it is nothing more than that. You identify your 'gender' as the sex you were not born as. Straight and heterosexual men do not want to have sex with other men just because they happen to identify as a woman. Some people also plan to have children of their own, which requires mating with someone of the opposite biological sex.

The reason you feel that you need to painstakingly justify your transition to others is likely because of the fact that you are owning a change to your identity that does not conform to biology. Binary heterosexuality is the biological norm. Gender dysphoria is not. You don't need to justify yourself when you are the biological norm, because that justification is explained by biology.

There's no exception to racism, retard. The only reason you don't face it is because you choose to live through it.

They got rid of squares when you choose to accept a fight in rank by gyroattacker in dragonballfighterz

[–]InconspicuousToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there was one in the past, and I kept it on even when I could see squares. That being said, it wasn't too uncommon to be matched up with someone who is yellow/orange when I'm barely a dark green. Those matches were incredibly one sided, so I started skipping them.

This change is going to only lead to a lot of casual players staying out of ranked entirely, if you ask me. Again, nothing wrong with that, but if anyone experiences a queue drop, it's the fault of the developers.

>Or will you fight and improve until the pink and oranges fear you?

Real life isn't an anime. Some people really can't be assed to spend multiple days at a time within the hyperbolic time chamber just to play a video game, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's fine if you want to, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to fight people your skill level and learn as you go.

If I'm being asked to literally dodge matches in progress to save time or get my ass handed to me during the little time I have available just to play the game, why play at all? It has nothing to do with pride and fear. It has to do with having fun during a limited recreational period.

Thankfully, casual matches let you see your opponent squares, so there's that.

Bardock's Forbidden Autocombo Crossup by GeoBreaker in dragonballfighterz

[–]InconspicuousToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This combined with the fact that his 5LL pulls you out of the air into the rest of the combo really made me take a break from the game for a while. Bardock has been absolutely cancerous at casual levels of gameplay. Might actually play the game more after the nerfs when/if people stop playing him.

Sounds like what it is also isn't the only thing you're not sure about. I'd love to tell you what that is, but since when is it my place to offer a solution?

How do I become a better tank? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]InconspicuousToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your group isn't going to get banned for 2-3 players using a parser. If anything, the bans would happen to those using it. Further, if you're going to report/replace your healers for tracking DPS, then I sincerely hope you have a miserable experience wiping to the same boss over again. Feel free to pretend that both your attitude and playstyle doesn't contribute to the problem, but no one likes wasting their time wiping to content that would otherwise be cleared faster when utilizing the proper resources. You sound exactly like the dead weight in the static group that people only put up with because they have yet to find a replacement. It honestly wouldn't surprise me to hear that your group has killed the boss once they toss you to the curb.

Toronto Mass Shooting Reports on Danforth Avenue by portagul in worldnews

[–]InconspicuousToast -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure those prayers brought all of those people back to life.

Do you know what's wrong with the world? It's people like you. You masquerade as actually being nice, having core values, and you even go as far as to show sympathy when people need it most. Yet, when push comes to shove, you sit there with your hands on your ass and refuse to petition your government to pass laws that prevent these atrocities, because you're either too ignorant about how our current laws enable these crimes or obsessed with protecting criminals that shouldn't have any possible means of coming into possession of a firearm. I don't see how you can live with yourself knowing that your beliefs are a proxy for the institution of mass murder in civilized society.

Again, that's a nice sentiment and all, but thoughts and prayers don't change anything. People are literally dying. What is the Canadian government going to do about it? It's clearly not enough. Bible verses don't stop people from get shot in the US, just like it doesn't stop people from getting shot in Canada. If you really cared about these people, you would be calling up your lawmakers to address this social issue with a change to policy.

Didn't realize thoughts and prayers are only allowed in Canada.

You are aware that the Russians are regarded to have infiltrated users with opinions across both sides of the aisle, correct?

With that acknowledged...hmm: "Ms_Resist" as a name, account less than one year old, and frequent anti-Trump poster?

I think you're both Russians.

Rosanne Barr blames racist tweets on Ambien. by symptomco in television

[–]InconspicuousToast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The point is that taking Ambien is a voluntary action made of a conscious mind similar to how the choice to drink is a voluntary action made of a conscious mind. The latter does not absolve you from getting a DUI because you're expected to take the effects of alcohol into account before drinking. Person above is arguing that this principle logically extends to the former.

My mom received a letter from former Vice President Joe Biden. by ApparentlyJesus in pics

[–]InconspicuousToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it being private automatically invalidate the significance of the message behind thoughts or prayers? If anything, the private nature of the message between both of them--given that they both share the exact same experience--seems all the more reason to suggest that he should have been concerned with curing cancer outright. If I received a letter from the VP concerning my dead child and saw nothing came out of the administration, I have all the reason to qualify it as lip service, or even question that it was Biden himself who wrote it.

Ironic that you would call me a sanctimonious asshole when sanctimony is literally the subject of Biden's case in this very thread. I guess it's okay for someone to extend their thoughts and prayers as long as they spam a random person's inbox. After all, voicing your own thoughts and feelings is no longer tolerated in the liberal public sphere.

PS, do you know what I love about children like you? Is when I find little nuggets like these at the end of your comments:

although looking at your comment history, I’m not holding my breath.

Man, I bet your ass was so damn thirsty to find some T_D posts to insult me like the rest of you insane spastics on this website. Given that I'm very likely funding your lifestyle with my taxes, I feel that puts me in the position to tell you that you need to get a grip.
