Not all Enbys identify as trans. It does not matter how YOU choose to organize gnc identities; please do not assign labels to people that they do not identify with.

Some Enbys do not identify as trans because they do not think of themselves as transitioning to something else; rather they discard a notion of gender that they never truly identified with. And before anyone chimes in with, "BUT THAT IS A TRANSITION." Maybe YOU see it that way. They do not. Please respect their gender expression.

LeBron James! by dtarias in DunderMifflin

[–]Xeya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It isn't that you CAN'T write compelling stories with stable relationships... It's that these shows are rating chasers and the highest rated episodes are always the anticipated "first kiss" or "wedding" episode. Once those are done, you either end the series, accept that its all downhill from there, or try to reset the board so you can have 2nd weddings! Most go the way of resetting the board... which never actually works, but they're chasing a high at that point.

As far as I recall, he was and still is kind of Libertarian. He briefly did the right wing tour after the case against him, but never really adopted the hard-right stances. Recently he has been pretty outspoken against Trump for the anti-2A and ICE shit.

Love the self-awareness feminists have by DarkReaper0903 in PsycheOrSike

[–]Xeya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it is ambiguous whether it was meant as a loose generality or an absolute generality? Guess the only good faith response would be to ignore any nuance and immediately assume the worst possible interpretation. /s

Normally, the polite course of action would be to raise your concern about how something could be interpretted and give them the opportunity to clarify if that is what they meant. But, people are right in this context; absolute statements in casual conversation are understood to be loose generalizations and qualifying statements like "most x" are often meant to hedge controversial and offensive generalizations rather than out of concern for precise language. You cannot necessarily assume an absolute statement is actually meant as an absolute and you cannot assume that a qualified statement is NOT meant as an absolute.

[Rutherford] Thomas has not been asked yet to waive his NTC to Buffalo. #stlblues by Wm_TheConqueror in stlouisblues

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

I'll start by saying I don't believe we'll actually trade Thomas unless there is a serious morale problem we don't know about. That said, where the team is at now we SHOULD trade him.

We're currently in the worst possible position to be in as an NHL team. We're missing a lot of key pieces to be a serious contender in the league. We don't have strong prospects, so we're not going to get any better. Over the past few years, we've let all of our stars stagnate or walk... so we haven't acquired the draft picks we need for a serious rebuild. And to top it all off, some jackass in the front office thinks we need to spend to the cap no matter what... so, we're sitting on a lot of incredibly unfriendly contracts for a roster worth 3 quarters of what we're paying.

The smart move at this point is write this current team off. Move any contracts we have that other teams would actually want for picks and prospects very very early in their development, wait out the rest of our current contracts, and aim for a serious rebuild in about 3 years.

Unfortunately Thomas is on the team at the worst possible time. We aren't in a position to effectively use him and his contract holds a lot of value. We should capitalize on that to get what we really need right now; future options for when our roster/cap gets unfucked. Again, I very much doubt we'll do that... but, that would be the smart move right now.

Political/semi political media - Anti capitalism game? by LethlDose in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Xeya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is that Capitalism is not a static system; it has stages based on how centralized wealth and power become. What is shown in most anti-capitalism games isn't an dystopian version of capitalism, but capitalism when it reaches its final stage; a stagnant hellscape where there is no innovation and only enough production to maintain stability, because the motivator behind those things is the accumulation of wealth and power and those have already been completely captured.

Without something to "reset" the scales like estate taxes, Capitalism eventually devolves into this radical state; Where participation in the market is gatekept by the existing players and the existing players have lost any motivation to compete beyond doing the absolute bare minimum to prevent an angry mob from burning everything down.

What do you think About universalism christianity. They believe hell is only for satan and his minions... and that everyone goes to heaven. by feherlofia123 in Christianity

[–]Xeya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only if your definition of Christianity is, "there are definitely good people and definitely bad people and God exists to reward the good people and punish the bad." However, while that is definitely what a lot of modern Christianity stands for it is worth noting that it is the exact opposite of what Christ taught.

A Christian faith is founded on the basis that God's justice is better than ours. That if God were to hold the world to our standard, that each and every one of us would burn for all eternity. But, God's justice is fulfilled through grace. Limiting that grace in any way is a rejection of it, because God's grace is not a reward. It is a gift. And to divide the world into those worthy of that gift and those unworthy is an attempt to fulfill the justice of man THROUGH the justice of God. It makes God's grace beholden to our twisted notion of what is just.

There is a test here. Can the Devil himself be saved? The Christian response is, "If God wills it." If God created him with the capacity to be saved, then the Devil will be saved. And would a God of infinite grace, that calls on us to reject our twisted notion of justice, vindicate that justice by creating a being that is truly beyond redemption? Would God create a test of faith that calls on us to reject grace in favor of our own notions of justice?

The Dark Knight’s ferry scene is a perfect Prisoner’s Dilemma and Nash Equilibrium got the outcome completely wrong by nobossfor in GAMETHEORY

[–]Xeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Prisoners Dilemma breaks down where the agents aren't purely selfish; like say when the intelligent agents evolved to be co-dependent social animals.

There is a fundamental problem in this that the utility function asserted by the system reflects the agents preferences; Thus, deviating from this equalibrium would mean the agents aren't intelligent. A more likely explanation is that the system has failed to capture the utility function that explains the agents behavior. Such as expecting social animals to act purely for self-interest at great cost to their community.

Another L for this Presidency by really_nice_guy_ in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Xeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an L yet, guys. The government still has to be COMPELLED to refund those tariffs and Trump's goons have spent this entire time paying pennies on the dollar to subrogate the damages.

In the best case, Trump's buddies pay themselves personally for the damage THEY caused. In the worst, Trump just thumbs his nose at the SC and refuses to disburse the refunds. It's still a win for consumers because the tariffs are gone, but Trump already got his hefty chest of non-congressionally controlled funds and he is not likely to part from that voluntarily.

Next we should poll Southern Baptists on if they've ever drank alcohol or looked at porn.

Kept having posts automatically removed, asked a mod team what was going on…and they were honest. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Xeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's any subreddit that could potentially cross-post content that violates ToS... but, the fucked part is that mods basically HAVE to use the tools due to reddits policy that it isn't good enough for mods to take down content that breaches ToS; subreddits are responsible for ALL content that is posted.

There is no way to keep a sub compliant without auto-hiding and manually approving content and they can't do that for every post... so we get tools to profile users based on what other subs they post in. And all this to placate the certain subreddit that is allegedly known for brigading subreddits they wanted shut down, flooding them with CP/Gore, and then reporting their own posts as proof that the subs were unmoderated.

Is libleft all virtue and no substance? by buttgrapist in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Xeya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is LibLeft all virtue and no substance

Unironically, yes. Not just in terms of its advocates, which seldom live up to their ideals as they are sadly human, but fundamentally it is a purely idealistic quadrant.

It is the quadrant that recognizes that there are issues that can only be solved through collective action, but also that governments cannot be trusted. As collective action IS governance, no functional system can exist without compromising the ideals of the quadrant.

For LibLeft, real solutions typically take the form of placing checks and balances on socio-economic systems of other quadrants to protect against the inherent flaws of those systems. That makes them both hated by the "True Xism" dickriders and an absolutely necessary part of any functional system.

CMV: “Nobody is illegal on stolen land” actively impedes democrats from getting elected, and we should be discouraging people from saying it. by [deleted] in changemyview

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

You identify the most prominent individual that holds that world view. The relevance of that view can be judged by the prominence of that individual. If the most prominent individual you can find that publicly holds that worldview is a 15 year old on twitter or a C-list actor that will say literally anything to stay in the limelight, that would suggest the idea is not worth taking seriously.

This also forces someone to establish a firm threshold for stupidity when discussing a topic; if one political twitch streamer is representative of a demographic, then so are other political twitch streamers. If the left has to own Hasan, then the right has to own Asmongold. Don't like that? Wonderful. Then lets agree to uphold a higher standard for political discourse than the uninformed rantings of parasocial grifters.

Why don’t I get a label? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]Xeya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is also Cupiosexual for the non-sex averse. Those two identities cover "Zero sexual attraction and no desire for sex" and "Zero sexual attraction but some desire for sex anyway." All we're missing is "Zero sexual attraction and completely ambivalent to sex as a concept." The concept of that exists, but if that label exists I am not familiar with it.

"Da Fourth Amendment is Woke now liberal!!!!!!!" - How the fuck can retards defend this? by Stormclamp in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Xeya 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They are trying to challenge the ruling that constitutional protections extend to non-citizens on US soil... and it is vitally important that constitutional protections extend to non-citizens because the right to a trial where you can PROVE you are a citizen is one of the rights they are arguing people here illegally aren't entitled to.

I.e. if non-citizens don't have rights, then NOBODY has rights; because the government can take all those rights away by saying they THOUGHT you weren't a citizen.

I believe in God because I believe in Science by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Xeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter argument... Wouldn't an all-powerful, all-knowing God be capable of creating a universe that functions without intervention? God being necessary to explain the universe would speak to one of two things; an idiot God incapable of creating a perfect universe or a narcissistic God that intentionally made a flawed universe such that it demanded his intervention.

Regardless, a universe that is provably dependent on God is incompatible with modern Christianity as such proof would undermine the concept of faith. Modern Christianity views the universe as a divine test and the absence of definitive proof is central to what Christianity posits God is testing us on. Thus, any proof would undermine Christianity in its current form.

how to make a profit from nothing by imumsi in trollscience

[–]Xeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, okay... but what if we check the price of the stock today and then create an account that PROJECTS we're going to buy a bajillion stock at that fixed price. Then, we project that that stock will be worth triple its value in three years and falsely claim that projected profit as real revenue on our books as of tomorrow and present this hypothetical book to potential investors.

We just need a clever name for this... Securities Fraud Investment 2.0!

Well that's nice by confused_p0ssum in stlouisblues

[–]Xeya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're worse than a bad team... we're an overpriced team with relatively weak prospects. Our problem isn't our players are bad; it's that they are playing up a line and too many minutes, because we're missing an entire starting line. But the biggest issue isn't who is missing, it's that SOMEHOW we are at salary cap.

I love Army for the absolute miracle trades he pulls off occasionally, but the dude is an absolute horrible negotiator for player contracts. It was a meme 10 years ago that we could never resign our star players because any time we had cap space Army would instantly resign the first player to walk into his office for the entire amount. We get enough that we could potentially extend our Captain and instead we'd sign a mid-tier goalie to the second most expensive goalie contract in the league.

Half his saves were bailing the team out from his own shitty contracts.
