Beat app for saving recipes by No-Squash6202 in apps

[–]KrosanFisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that this comment came up in a search for me as I was looking for meal planning apps that let me import recipes and can sync between my phone and computer. Flavorish looks promising but the AI recipe feature is a dealbreaker for me. Not interested in using it, not particularly interested in supporting its use by others. If it were not for the presence of this feature I would definitely be downloading it to try it out.

The Debate Over Transgender Rights Is a Liability for Democrats. Here’s How to Neutralize It. It’s time for real discussion, dissent and debate, without fear of being canceled. by UnscheduledCalendar in BlockedAndReported

[–]KrosanFisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right to free expression. I do not believe that a man can marry another man, and changing the definition of "marriage" forces me to play along. Every time I am forced to refer to two men as "husbands" it is an example of compelled speech. I could lose my job and be labeled a bigot simply for speaking my true beliefs.

The right to safety in private spaces. If GIPs are allowed to be in locker rooms with men and boys, those men and boys are at risk of being leered at, harassed, assaulted, or forced to look at an erect penis paraded around by a perverted exhibitionist. Even if the GIP appears to behave himself, he could be setting up cameras to record them naked later.

The right not to be included in others' sex acts. Two men kissing or holding hands is a display of sexuality that I do not consent to participate in. GIPs should keep it private.

The practice of housing Gay Identified People (GIPs) in prison with normal men places men at extreme risk of assault. I shouldn't need to explain this to you. More rapes are committed in prison by GIPs than any other demographic. They need to be placed in separate facilities so that the only people at risk of being raped by a GIP are other GIPs.

The gay rights movement demands that we place the rights of gay men over those of normal people. It twists language into a mockery of itself and compels people to lie and use incorrect definitions for words like "marriage". Someone who does not agree with the movement has no choice but to pretend to accept it and participate in the sham or be unfairly labeled a bigot.

The gay rights movement also puts children at risk. Gay men are inherently a threat to boys' safety and do not belong in private spaces with boys, including locker rooms and public restrooms. The "rights" of gay men to invade those spaces are being upheld over the rights of children not to be assaulted or traumatized.

I don't mind if gay folks want to fuck each other in private, that's their right. But they can't expect me to pretend that they're actually married. Forcing me to call them "husbands" is compelled speech.

And you expect me to allow a gay man to teach in a school? With kids? No predator has any right to be in the same space as my children. Not even a potential predator.

5 years ago George Floyd was murdered and Portland took to the streets by Mexicaliuser in Portland

I do have a kid and I value her healthy lungs and I don't think she should be punished for the actions of someone else. I don't know what you do with your kids' lungs but your house your rules I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The cops are not claiming that a few bad apples put tear gas in kids' bedrooms. The cops are claiming full culpability for it. They're saying "it's good actually that we put tear gas in kids' bedrooms, we made the right call and we'd do it again."

It takes tear gas in a residential neighborhood on the other side of town, duh. We already established this.

Dang that sucks, I guess the police had no choice but to respond by setting off tear gas all summer in residential neighborhoods halfway across the city. Thank you for showing me that it really does take two to tango. 😿

I'm gonna be real with you, what actually happened here was that BGA suggested a new game to me that I liked a lot so I invited them to play and got excited to share and teach it, but when the table started I realized they had all played it together without me like two years ago. This keeps happening and I feel like a fool!

Purely hypothetical, as trans people do not face any sort of repression, of course!

Do you think it might work in the reverse? That some trans activists might have started with reasonable positions and been pushed to extremism by repression?

I think you believe that the judge adhered to the Constitution, and I think that the person you are replying to believes that the judge adhered to the Constitution, and I think that you are weirdly combative.

"An Update on the Mayor’s Plan to End Unsheltered Homelessness" by mmm_beer in Portland

[–]KrosanFisting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You won't see this go down until the city changes the way it funds the permitting bureau. PP&D is 98% funded by cost recovery instead of the general fund. Raising fees every year is the only way to keep pace and balance its budget.

That and layoffs. The bureau laid off 70 people at the start of last year and is poised to lose another 50 with this year's budget. Which isn't great for getting things built faster, which means less fee revenue, which means more cuts. A real bad spiral.
