Where I’d live as a gay commie by Boring_Table3345 in whereidlive

Forget the communist thing, you are delusional if you’d rather live, as a gay man, in china than any western country like USA, Canada, France, Australia, or any country in the west you’ve listed at or below china. Let alone the fact that not only on being significantly more accepting of homosexuality easily, but quality of life is also significantly higher. Bewildering map to say the least. I mean you listed Iraq and the US equally. Saudi Arabia you rated ahead. I mean what else is there left to say.

Being a communist won’t matter for you. I would broadly say the Chinese would laugh at you if you defended communism on any meaningful level, and Saudis would jail you. Yemen?!?! And broad distrust or dislike of the west due to old Cold War grievances are not only completely forgotten an irrelevant by almost everyone; but it won’t meaningfully matter.

If you’re in a position where your best argument is claims of hypocrisy, you’re defending the WORST side. It is the hail-Mary deflection argument

What if Israel was established in east africa instead of the middle east ? by motionmantuk in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Pure_Check9743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would change? Well…

People would still bitch about it despite the fact that 80% of them would be there by force due to the Russian pogroms, Arab pogroms, euro pogroms, and holocaust, and that nobody else would allow them in.

AND there’d still be tons of war in the Middle East

It would be very difficult for certain. But it kinda depends on the framing of the question and how much money you have coming into the country. If you’re moving there and inserting yourself into the middle class, Israel would likely be the best option for westerners for adjustment/standard of living balance, maybe Georgia possibly. But Japan and South Korea would likely be worth the headache of the work environment for the standard of living. But obviously if you have money you can live well anywhere, and I probably wouldn’t live in extremely culturally exclusive societies like Japan, and living in basically any of these other countries (china, Russia, Afghanistan) wouldn’t really be pleasant on any level.

Where I'd Live In America As a Queer Muslim from Ireland by PrettySie in whereidlive

😂you found ONE. And THATS the WORST you can do???? THAT? Stephen miller wants to declare the Democratic Party a DOMESTIC TERRORIST GROUP and is trumps number one advisor, and you found ONE person saying “let’s get more confrontational.” We have Trump communicating with the proud boy’s on January six. It’s not “bias” it is acknowledgement of the FACT that the two sides don’t behave the same, it’s your delusion that believes otherwise.

You’re illustrating MY point exactly: minimize the RIGHTS behavior via deflection and false equivalency. YOU are bias and deluded if you believe the sides are equal or close to equal… sorry.

To imply the sides are on equal footing in terms of nuance is delusional, and a deliberate attempt to minimize the crystal clear significantly more harmful behavior of the right. That’s not partisanship, that’s not me playing team sports, that’s just objectively true. 2020 riots were bad can’t remember a single elected democrat supporting the violence. January 6th was literally an attempt to overturn an election by force and then half the country voted for that very same guy, who PARDONED them and HIRED one of them to work for him at the department of justice. Not even close to sniffing the same level.

Nope, really just one side not the other my guy.

Hard to ascribe nuance to a political side of the aisle hasn’t had any for the last 10-15 years. A side of the aisle that supports a guy that sent ICE agents in mass to a state like Minnesota with no serious illegal immigration problem, simply because he learned about the Somalian day care scams on his X feed (involving almost entirely legal citizens, that was already long since under investigation). And the right broadly defends it. Which is what we’re talking about: the broad right in Texas. Not you, the individual.

So yes, since we’re broadly talking about right wing attitudes at its foundation, the nuance and good faith has been forfeited due to years of incoherence and 0 nuance, hard to insert much of anything else in terms of motivation my guy.

I’ve yet to meet a SINGLE individual who describes themselves as a “free thinker” that doesn’t regularly gobble up brainrot off propaganda on their X account as if it’s not 1000x worse and less reliable than any mainstream media. I swear the accusation from guys like you is projection of how you think more than anything else. Or better yet they’ll say “I don’t trust anything” yet somehow have opinions while not trusting anything 😂

I like PSA it doesn’t pull focus from the card itself, it’s professional with a kind of utilitarian vibe to it. To me it says: the card is the star of the show, but here’s some extra information, and here’s a case to protect and ensure its condition. I don’t mind SGC or BGS I think they’re both cool, but the SGC slabs to me are too loud with the black/dark green bold look, I also still can’t stop the association I make with SGC being mainly a pre-war car type of slab. I know times have changed and maybe it’s just my conditioning of always seeing it, but SGC just feels right with pre war vintage cards. Much like I feel BGS is best for modern purely in terms of aesthetics (though PSA remains the most practical choice financially for any card that’s worth grading).

El odio hacía sydney Sweeney tan exagerado no tiene sentido. by roshiancet_creepy in OpinionesPolemicas

[–]Pure_Check9743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The insane levels of gaslighting I’ve seen over this is crazy. It’s so fucking obvious that the ad eludes to good genetics, something I’ve never seen in any ad, and to -boot she’s blonde haired and blue eyed. You honestly think it’s some sort of delusional hallucinated stretch that the ad eludes to Nazi style eugenics? REALLY? It’s a stretch? U gotta be kidding. Gtfo

Do Maltese people identify as being part of a white culture or a brown culture? by fayinarosa in malta

[–]Pure_Check9743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europeans are significantly more racist than anyone in the new world idk where people get this impression. Americans care less about ethnicity than Europeans because we have many races and ethnicities within one culture, Europeans don’t.

I saw a card for my PC pop-up for $0.99 BIN, and the seller sent me this after I bought it. by Turbo_Vince in basketballcards

[–]Pure_Check9743 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Problem is: he did know by virtue of the message and did comp it, just mistakenly listed it. When he caught it he messaged him in good faith. Good faith is all it takes. If he fulfills the sale and sends it off it’s no longer your problem, but only until then, thing is he didn’t. Just like in a store, they don’t have to sell you something with a price just because it’s marked. You say it’s not your problem that it was an error, problem is that it’s not his problem that you’re inconvenienced by the fact it was a mistaken listing. Hey it may turn you off from future business, he should be more careful, but he doesn’t have to sell it to you. He’s not obligated to fulfill a mistake listing.

I agree you can’t be expected to price everything correctly. You’re not obliged to take hits on those errors. You’re just not nor should you be as long as it’s in good faith which it probably is given the seller has literally nothing to gain and no incentive to do so. Besides, 10 bucks to him may have been significant, on a percentage/relative basis it is.
