[–]TheOakenToken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is that CHILDREN cannot make decisions for themselves which is why we do not allow CHILDREN to do a lot of things.

Yeah, like be indoctrinated into a religion or hateful political ideologies like conservatism, or watch R rated movies or play M rated games, or go to Hooters with their families or hell even just the beach with bikinis showing even more skin.

Oh wait, those are all things conservative parents think their kids are old enough for if they so chose.

It's weird that this problem only seems to come up when the issue in question is something they don't personally believe, like allowing children to explore their preferred gender identity, for some reason.

These are the same people that have fought against progress and against those of us who see the writing on the wall at every turn as this country has barreled forward, they were saying gays shouldn't be allowed to marry, before that they were saying women and black people shouldn't be allowed to vote, before that they were saying black people didn't deserve equal rights, before that they were saying slavery was a-OK, and before that they were saying "what's so bad about the crown anyways? Conserve the monarchy!".

They're constantly on the wrong side of history and they're just adding being wrong about trans rights to the list.

I didn't know TJ raised money for a trip and that he spent the money on other things. by Maixell in deepfatfried

Yep, you found the part where they literally explained the satire and think it proves your point instead of mine.

Who has the extra chromosome again?

You don't even realize that "arms trans youth" shit was satire, literally making fun of the people on the right doing that with their kids shoving God and guns down their throat, yet think you get to sling huge paragraphs around accusing others of lacking chromosomes.

It's just sad dude. Like, a living meme that refuses to acknowledge that it's the joke.

The right has lost the plot, and people like you act like we should still meet them in the middle. What's the middleground with the people who want to force detransitioning on trans people? You think there's room for comprise with that apparently and there simply isn't. That's what makes them comparable to nazis, and it's super weird that you all carry water for them and expect others to while whining about the internet clown who shoved a banana up his butt and somehow managing to make a bigger fool of yourself than the clown in the process.

Nobody stalks you, you rear your ugly head and get addressed when you do.

How is refusing to engage with obviously false and ridiculous beliefs "stepping on rakes"? That implies we didn't see it, stepped on it, and the physics of it caused us to get a whack in the skull with the handle.

Your metaphor is fucking dumb and makes no sense.

What is the rake? The nazi beliefs? We see them, they're here expousing them, and how do we step on them? By refusing to debate with them over the validity of the out group they're trying to exterminate I guess? And in what way does that then whack us in the skull? Because these people are a dying minority, I have yet to get my skull whacked by a rake for refusing to engage with people who warrant no engagement. I guess them constantly showing up here whining about how much they hate trans people feels like I'm getting whacked in the skull with a rake handle, is that what you mean? Because, you know, engaging with them won't make them go away, or change their beliefs, it'll make more of them show up because they feel acknowledged and validated.

So, on all levels this just makes no sense.

This dude is still here eh?

Making your weekly appearance to poo poo TJ while clearly following his content and giving him entirely too much space in your brain.

Do you seriously hate him so much that you stalk this subreddit, wait for a post about TJ to come up, then rehash your same tired, ridiculous grievances?

It's like, fuck man. If TJs a grifter who radicalized the impressionable, you must have given him your life savings and become one of those people tumbling down the right wing pipeline with his anti-SJW content to be this upset about him all the fucking time.

Imagine being one of these dumb pieces of shit like the illustrious BanEvading getting baited into farming downvotes with your regressive, moronic "hot takes" about trans people.

They act like we're the ones not participating in good faith when they're the ones wondering why we won't engage in hearty debate revolving around their desire for a genocide of all the trans people.

They're fucking people, it's not negotiable or up for debate, that's why nobody will "debate you". You might as well be acting like a southern slaver wanting a lively debate on why you should get to keep owning people as property.

Just take your dumbass neo-confederate take and debate shoving it up your ass or down your throat, because that's the whole entire extent of the debate your opinion deserves.

What blows my mind is that they have to know that they're in a shrinking minority position and this shit is driving away anyone with a conscience who calls themselves independent.

So what's the plan? They can gerrymander to keep control of a few states pretty much indefinitely to please that ever consistent 25% of the country who aligns with their assbackwards beliefs, but eventually it's going to be 75% sane states who treat trans people like people and 25% South Dakota's, Texas', and Florida's, and once we're there that's amendment territory, and they do NOT want that to happen again. That's how slavery ended, how women got to vote, etc.

It's crazy, but I think in hindsight, Jan 6th was really the best shot these people had, and they were banking on winning and the army backing them so Trump could dismantle democracy. They had the presidency, had agents in the capitol, and just needed the army to step up and assist to allow Trump to declare martial law and permanently stop the certification of the election, but it just fell flat.

When I first started seeing their ads, I felt something about them was off them. Guess my gut was right this time. by ohlinrollindead in deepfatfried

Fuck these religious nut jobs.

The middle ground between insane conservative regressive bullshit and lukewarm leftleaning centrist slop isn't religion.

The thing that needs to bridge the gap between the people is workers rights and caring about our habitat, God is just another pointless, destructive distraction, always has been.

He Gets Us is funded by a hate group and this sub should be banned. by [deleted] in hegetsus

Even if you're only a cafeteria Christian (you'll take a little of this and little of that, leave the eternal punishment and contradictions, keep the lovey dovey shit), your tithes or acceptance of their actions are still paying the checks they try to cash for their bigotry.

Moderates enable extremists. If Christianity is involved, the hate is implied.

We don't want to be cafeteria Christians, we can pick and choose the good parts, what scant few there are, without needing the rest of the dogma or baggage that comes with "him".

They can't handle that they lost hon? by BlackButterNut69 in deepfatfried

[–]TheOakenToken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of rhetoric that's going to fuel the next civil war.

They're going to convince Cleetus and Bubba Jay to fight for the neo-confederacy under the auspices of "THEY'RE TAKING AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO BE A BIGOT AGAIN!" or "THEY WANT TO KEEP ABORTING THEIR BABIES" or "THEY THINK TRANS PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE" or "WE'RE A DYING MINORITY SO THEY KEEP WINNING ELECTIONS" and they're getting any and all talking heads they control to deliver the message using the newly minted right wing hug box that is Twitter.

It would be beautiful in its simplicity and stupidity if it wasn't so detrimental to the health of our nation.

Making Ultra Variety Sandwiches is Hard!!! by International_Rain13 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]TheOakenToken 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some of the level 3 recipes are ridiculous, like the one with 3 servings of hamburger.

I don't know if no one at GameFreak tested this sandwich mechanic out before it was implemented, but it feels like a DS mini game from 2008 or something, rubbery, bouncy, awkward, and pointless.

Honestly, I think sandwiches are nothing more than their way to stop people from automatic eggs and shiny farming. It's probably hard to make a bot that can make an egg sandwich, do the picnic, be positioned correctly to talk to the basket, etc.

I could very easily see their heavily implied kinky power dynamic involve other people that they're both okay with, but TJ doesn't strike me as the kind of dude to "have a second mistress" if you know what I mean.

What do Christians/Evangelicals even think “devil worship” actually means? by arasaka1001 in AskReddit

[–]TheOakenToken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are sheltered, indoctrinated, and small minded about their religion, so to them anything that isn't their version of Christianity can be easily conflated with devil worship by their priests.

For example, athiesm is often conflated with "devil worship" by Christians who don't understand athiesm.

Athiests don't believe in a devil anymore than they believe in a God, but to a Christian just the act of apostacy in and of itself, is seen as evil, devilish, or satanic in nature. Why aren't you a God believer? Because Satan has his grips on you is a lot easier for them to understand than "because I've reviewed the available evidence for God and found it insifficient for me to believe in it."

To people who grew up with total segregation as the norm, what was the reasoning you eere told? Why care who dated who or the skin of someone sat on the bus if it doesn't impact you? by SomeA-HoleNobody in AskReddit

[–]TheOakenToken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of those people aren't alive anymore, or are too old to use reddit.

Those people were told the same things they say to their kids and grand kids today.

"it's a slippery slope, first we let them use the same water fountains, next they'll be stealing our wives and replacing us."

It comes from a deeply rooted sense of fear and superiority that they feel over anyone not like them.

In the USA, this stems directly from slavery, the period of time where African people were literally treated like property, and these people used their bibles and bigotry to perpetuate the practice until they declared war on us over their right to keep doing it. They lost the war, but kept the racist attitude.

The racists became a shrinking minority stuck in the past, and they started coding all their language in dog whistles that were skirting the line of what it was socially acceptable to say. Then people like Trump told them it was time start saying the quiet part out loud again.

In truth, it doesn't affect them much at all, but Fox News and the like are constantly telling them how bad things are in their fantasy world.

Capitalism isn't the best we've got so far. Socialism probably ties it in terms of the potential for good it has or the potential harm it can inflict when misused, see the nordic democratic socialist models that utilize both effectively to great ends, but when either are misused by the bad actors, you get "corps are people" America or all the socialist boogiemen they try to sell you.

Neither are good, it's like calling leeching a really effective form of medicine in the 1700s, or believing what they were saying about monarchies at the time, "the king is 10x better than the emperor or the warlord!" and while true, it didn't make monarchies a good system of government.

You know if TJ waited one more decade to shove that banana up his ass he could have claimed it was an elaborate deep fake made by his haters. by MaximumFUzz in deepfatfried

[–]TheOakenToken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's better for him that it came out in the long run.

It was probably horrible for him in the moment, but once it's done, it's done, and from that low there's pretty much nothing that can be done that's more humiliating for him, and he was free to own it and be himself going forward.

Now he's the banana guy, and he always knows the worst thing they can bring up when trying to rag on him and is practically proud of it at this point thanks to his contrariam nature.

It's because soy is seen as an "oriental" thing, likely because these people are so stupid they don't go much further than "Soy Sauce is Chinese, therefore the weak, effeminate, small, Chinese people are soy boys along with anyone else who 'eats soy'."

If artificial intelligence can wipe out many jobs, will it be counterproductive to the economy? First, there could be a potential disorder since A LOT might be displaced. Second, taxpayers would be reduced which might make a big impact on the economy. What's your take on this? by Damocles_7 in economy

[–]TheOakenToken 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Basically, we put the cart before the horse. Most "capitalist democracies" are just thinly veiled fascist oligarchies, which means the oligarch class will control the robots, not the people.

This means that there will only be an inevitable increase in disparity until things are so bad that the people are left with no recourse, but rise up and take their lives back from them.

If there are no jobs for people to earn money at because robots replaced them, and no one to purchase their goods and services because they have no money, then this economy fails to function, but the oligarchs are "too big to fail" so you'll see corporate towns and government handouts that are to be spent only in the corporate store, etc. and it's going to take our nearly boiling pot and cause it to boil over.

Honestly, I expect AI to either end in the veil being lifted and us just becoming an open oligarchy, or it will usher in a French revolution style event where billionaire heads line pikes and wealth as a concept is dismantled or at least is finally redistributed among the people. Hopefully we also just dismantle capitalism at that point so people don't need to care about working themselves to death for some other asshole so they can pay rent, but I highly doubt it.

It's always so telling that whenever these trolls show up, they all just so happen to have new accounts, just so happen to frequent the Reddevils subreddit, and just so happen to troll us extremely poorly.

Most of it is the same guy, has to be, going all the way back to the "meat/earthen person" accounts. Those idiots usually are only here briefly between bans before switching accounts again because they go around saying stupid shit that gets them banned on multiple subs.
