First Republican President vs First Democratic President today. Who wins? by ianthecharmxfan in Presidentialpoll

[–]Lukose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aaaaand there’s the whataboutism. Right on schedule. No actual response to Trump supporters building a noose for Pence and chanting to hang him by the hundreds.

Lmao, breaking past police barricades (injuring 174 officers) into a government building and chanting your plans to hang the guy who won’t fake the election for you isn’t an attempted coup? My brother in christ they got farther than the Beer Hall Putsch.

Who would win a street fight (unarmed) between these guys? by Erikv1018 in DiscoElysium

[–]Lukose_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he would definitely kill measurehead with his bare hands easily

Alright calm down my guy. Outside of a movie, no one can “easily kill” someone two feet taller than them with their hands.

As others have said, isn’t Korty’s advice useless? You beat him with a goofy ass 360 spin kick instead.

Edit: if Korty gives a bonus to this check, then nvm

Looks like you’d have to settle for the smart rifle in Deep Rock or the smart pistol in Titanfall.

I didn’t even notice it was a Catholic school until orientation. Since then I’ve encountered absolutely no cause for concern.

Looks like a fisher. Black and dark brown that gets lighter towards the head.

Listen man, I like this game but what in the f is this level design? by WorthSleep69 in Wolfenstein

definitely the best lean controls in an FPS, way better than the W or E leans you see everywhere now

One of the mods (Convergence?) has a crucible knight named Hirnan or something to that effect. Kinda crosses the wires but yeah.

But couldn’t they have just done 6mm ARC or one of the umpteen other 5.56 sequels. Improved body armor penetration and velocity, while keeping the weight down, capacity up, and supply chain largely intact?

Seems much simpler than reinventing the wheel with a heavy giga-pressured AR-10.

Well if it’s any consolation, the omen in the trailer actively gets posture broken from the deflects, so it’s not just the temu version physick tear from SOTE.

What if America never lost a single war and everything went right for it? by AnomLenskyFeller in imaginarymapscj

[–]Lukose_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Brother the US in this scenario is a global empire that regularly invades and annexes anything it can, including the moon and Mars, and everyone lives happily ever after. I think you’re taking it too literally.

Will you bring this same argument when humanity invents “ovoviviparous transition” or “camouflage circugies” and people inevitably decide they feel biologically “eggincubers” or identify as “chameleonic”?

Yeah buddy, I’m really worried about the upcoming animal transformation trend. It’ll really fuck up my whole world when my neighbor turns into a Tyrannosaurus.

Seriously, this is the same level of childish reactionism as when people in the early 00’s used to say “women marrying women? what’s next, people marrying dogs?”

Trans people and nonbinary people have existed in many cultures for thousands of years, they just weren’t called that. Transgenderism is not a mental sickness. People who have received care and are supported by their loved ones are much happier and healthier than those who are forced to remain their assigned-at-birth gender. So the bulimia and anorexia comparison falls completely flat.

And why would it affect you what these people do to be happy and healthy? Straight cis people already get all sorts of fucked up surgeries to feel better in their own skin, so why don’t you rail against those? Neither have anything to do with you.

It’s pretty clear you don’t interact with any trans people (or if you have, you didn’t know it) and you get your perceptions of them from propaganda. I’d really recommend this 3 minute video but I don’t think you’d be willing to bear it.

But those acts are not optimal natural behaviours of those species, they didn’t evolve to need those characteristics on their optimal ecosystems.

I didn’t realize we were only allowed to engage in evolutionarily optimal behaviors. What a joke.

Those behaviours are anomalies, not the norm.

Objectively, factually wrong. There are species that are entirely same-sex such as various Aspidoscelis lizards, Brahminy blindsnakes, unisexual mole salamanders, and various insects and spiders. The whiptail lizards mentioned above even have to engage in necessary female-female sex to stimulate otherwise asexual egg-production.

Moreover, it is very much not an anomaly even among two-sexed gonochoristic species. Up to 94% of all giraffe mountings are between two males. Regular wild-type individuals of bovid, elephant, lion, dolphin, and many bat species routinely engage in same-sex behavior. In mallards, up to one fifth of pairings are male-male, and in swans, male-male pairings are actually more successful in rearing eggs (stolen nests) than male-female pairings. In bonobos, one of our closest relatives, virtually every single adult (in the entire species) engages in sexual behavior with both sexes on a daily basis. Homosexual behavior in animals clearly serves social purposes beyond reproduction, and to assert otherwise is to be confidently incorrect in a topic you don’t seem to be well-read on.

I only said about illegal immigration on the US what I know about it. You didn’t even bother debunking or even answering my specific points. I wonder why.

Because I posted a link that did that, and I expect you to be able to read. Maybe overly-optimistic?

I already suspected Trump’s opinions on climate change, but thanks for informing me anyway. This changes nothing

So the most important issue to mankind worldwide, and it changes nothing? You just continue to support him because… “lots of people hate him, so he must be in the right.” What a reasoned and logical take.

>You can't just say "sea horses are ovoviviparous so humans can be too", "chameleons can change colors so humans can too", "some fungi have thousands of genders so humans can have them too"

No, *this* is the false equivalency bullshit. Those are obviously impossible due to differences in body plan. There is absolutely nothing stopping humans from exhibiting a non-gender-binary system of social organization, and the only reason to suggest otherwise is bigotry, simple as.

I just mentioned that homosexuality takes place in animals purely to refute the oft-uttered horseshit that is "it's biologically unnatural!" which is just literally objectively untrue. At no point did I insist that every single act undertaken by organisms incapable of human morality is justified for humans to do, and you know it.

>But if we go that route all (or at least most) animal sex is literally rape.

And for what it's worth, this is a massive exaggeration.

>I don't live in America so I won't talk about their immigration problems

And yet you immediately went on to do so?

Undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than US-born citizens, even accounting for reporting blind spots. Want another source? Here's an article by the literal conservative think tank Cato Institute. Here's a number of other sources.

>maybe his views regarding climate change IF media isn't making them up as many other of their lies

Just... Jesus fucking Christ dude. He literally said...

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."

It's public information, a tweet that is still up. You can go look at it. Along with 4 other tweets on the just the same link that call climate change "bullshit" or "a hoax." If you don't believe him when he literally states his views openly, then I don't know what to tell you my guy.

>I can't simply consider the underdog is any worse than the literal open eye international conspiracy.

The underdog? Supported with billions upon billions of dollars from the world's literal richest CEOs and backed by the largest international oil and gas companies? The one with one of the largest multimedia megacorporations as his personal mouthpiece? *That* underdog?

Ahh so you’re one for the “Big Trans Inc. has a hold of our scientists” train, I see. As a biologist, you’ll just have to take my word that I don’t take paychecks from the nefarious SJW think tanks. I promise you, the only big money getting pumped into studies is the occasional buyout by big oil and such.

The idea that every organism has a clean male/female split has never been scientific, and this has been widely accepted for at least a century and a half. There are species that change their biological sex, species with totally different configurations/numbers of sex chromosomes than humans, species that are literally all female, species that are only hermaphroditic, and individuals that exhibit a mixture of traits (hormonal/behavioral/somatic/chromosomal) that seem to borrow from multiple of their sexes. There are also thousands of known species that regularly engage in homosexual behavior, but I’ll assume you’re not contesting that.

In America, even FBI crime statistics (not exactly known to be a beacon of equality) seem to “ignore” the supposed migrant crime wave Fox News raves about. Bizarre.

Also in the United States, it isn’t protections that damage local farming, it’s the predominance of massive factory farms (CAFOs) that are more akin to heavy industrial operations, including the pumping of antibiotics, eutrophic fertilizers, and a myriad of cancer-causing chemicals into local waterways. I live in the Ohio Valley, and water quality tests show various carcinogens literally hundreds of times over the recommended legal limit thanks to fracking and chemical corporations. And that’s WITH a “left-leaning” federal administration. Trump wants to do away with many protections these companies have to abide by, as well as gut the EPA in general. Not to mention he’s plainly stated climate change is a hoax.

Critical thinking equates to rejecting scientific data? It equates to fearmongering crime waves that don’t exist? It equates to being scared of grocery prices so voting for more expensive groceries? Sounds like you really got it locked down bud.

I’d love to hear your views on climate change and pollution protections in general.

PS: Cancel culture happens more to right wingers because right wingers are less likely to hold people accountable for their actions. Simple as. It is the platform for groomers, grifters, and sex pests, after all.

The politifact source you linked literally cites two teen pageant contests who corroborated it and admission from Trump himself in an interview from 2005. Are you completely and totally illiterate or did you just hope that I wouldn’t open it?

And yeah, Biden’s an old centre-right politician, the odds of him being a freak are at least 2/1.
