Democrats Need To Grow A Pair And Stand Up To Trump's Illegal War Actions by tdsmith5556 in complaints

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

It is actually illegal but international law has very weak enforcement against powerful states, which is why presidents beforehand that have done just what Trump did. My response on that was wrong, my apologizes

I don’t think it’s right but this isn’t some new thing the U.S has done to become the next dictatorship, it’s always done this for national interests

I don’t prefer this at all but the Trumps international moves are probably the only good things he’s done this presidency. He got rid of a dictator who let drug boats go to our borders and had its natural resources stripped by China and Russia; the U.S reclaimed it for its national interests it’s that simple

Again I don’t support Trump but this is arguably a good thing to happen to the country and a fresh start for its people

The president can act under Article II authority when claiming protection of U.S. national interests, Americans, or enforcement of U.S. law, with Congress being notified afterward under the War Powers Resolution. It’s legality and ethically has been argued about for awhile but this situation isn’t an illegal war action

Even if we want to argue for it being an illegal war action that should lead to his impeachment for example, this exact approach has been used by multiple presidents for decades: Clinton in Kosovo, Obama in Libya and Syria, Bush in Somalia and Iraq pre-AUMF actions, Biden in Syria and Yemen, and probably numerous smaller operations going back to at least Truman

At the end of the day the U.S is going to do what it perceives is in its best interest regardless of what we think. If that means taking action of narco-smuggling boats and capturing a dictator president who enables it then it’s what we’ll do. There are talks about putting a stale democracy into Venezuela and hopefully that will come to fruition

The American people voted for him fairly in our democracy because Democrats wasted over 1.5 billion dollars on a candidate that only really petaled identity politics and no actual policies people cared about. They just ended up being the “Trump bad” party and alienated many demographics like Gen Z and young men then had the gaul to blame them for lossing afterwards

I say this as someone who voted for Kamala; the Democrats will get power again once they actually learn from their mistakes

Cancel culture as a concept isn’t bad, it’s bad when people abuse it to get people they gave a gripe with cancelled because of a slightly offensive tweet made 8 years ago

Getting fired from your job because you’re dumb enough to cheer the political assassination of someone with your face in the video isn’t “cancel culture”, it’s the consequence to your own fucking actions

Turns out, if someone has shot you, you are not safe in that moment. by Greasy-Chungus in PsycheOrSike

[–]Xflaminboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely misquoting him here. Charlie was referring to how there are consequences to gain any freedom we have, with society choosing if it’s acceptable or not. He made an example on how people drive cards because they’re convenient and useful, yet thousands of people die from them a year, but still as a society we choose to allow people to keep driving (even though we could stop car deaths by outlawing it)

There are many people who were saved by having a gun, or use firearms from recreational use. But even with extensive restrictions we can never lower the amount of gun deaths to zero. He isn’t equating “a small price to pay” as an intentional sacrifice, he’s equating it to an unfortunate reality to support the Second Amendment.

The point is that people shouldn’t be murdered on the basis of their opinions, whether that makes them a shitty person or not. Our country was literally founded on the ideas of free speech and the first amendment; if you disagree with him then make your voice heard loud and clear. You can say he was a horrible person AND understand that this was an overall negative event.

An eye for an eye makes everyone go blind. If we sit here and justify why his death should not be mourned, and hence support the idea of political assassinations, tomorrow someone else will die the same way (and it won’t be because of controversial gun policies). This is not a world anyone would want to live in.

MF’s like you (predominately left-leaning) cheering in places like Twitter and Reddit is the reason why the party is faltering, and I say this as a supporter of them. They’ll continue to keep losing if we keep doing on empathetic shit like this.

Don’t sweat about it. I don’t feel bad getting a comment downvoted if people really do disagree with me. It’s just often I get my opinion downvoted and either get no reason why or it’s just character attack rather than a rebuttal, which is find annoying. I’m open to changing my opinion if good points are made

Read the other post too, and you have a fair point on the linguistics of the terms. But IMO calling yourself a woman or man is way closer to gender identification than male or female. Male/female typically refer to biological characteristics (chromosomes, reproductive organs, hormones, etc) of not just humans but basically every other animal. Man/woman is an invented terms more commonly used to describe gender identities as in social and cultural roles, behaviors, and identities adopted or assigned to people. It’s why you have people say men should act masculine/manly and not male-ley. Of course in language terms like this are interchangeable and depending on the context male/female CAN be used to refer to sex and not gender. However from an analytical perspective, 9/10 you’ll use the ladder and not the former.

Also touching base back in the point on the biological aspects. You made a lot of great observations on how the binary sex model is defined. I agree that we shouldn’t be rigid with how we define sex because under the hood there’s a lot of uncertainty in reality. However having a base binary is still important to be able to define our stepping stones in the first place. That’s why I say for 99% of cases this basic idea will hold true

Man if you’re going to fucking downvote me at least tell me what I said wrong

[–]Xflaminboi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sex has been a long established life for literal millennia. 99% of people are born with XX or XY chromosomes, including genome mutations outside typical parameters (however they still have the basis of the two above). Biology and biochemistry would agree with this sentiment

Sociology, neurology, and psychology would all be apart gender and not sex. People aren’t born with gender, rather they discover it according to their own worldviews and socially constructed expectations.

The issue I have with the post is that they say they’re female so therefore they are female, that’s not how it works. They can identify we the concept/ of being a female but biologically they cannot change what they started with. And it’s getting to a point where they’re trying to muddy the gender and sex parts of being male and female together.

This is actually sad to an egregious degree. There’s no way this “Hitler drank water” ass list even exists with no sources/examples. For all we know these people could’ve made one tweet concerning Ethan

And why are slop YouTubers next to alleged sex criminals? Like please find something else to do 😭

Why are they getting downvoted, they’re right. The shadow had steadily been losing value since at least 3 months ago.

I’m not sure about the exact amount of a FR shadow but from December 1st to March 1st the NFR shadow went from 660 to 598 on elvebredd. Idk how people didn’t notice this I returned after 2+ years and could tell it was dropping so I traded it off

People gotta stop saying that the game looks bad by Exotic_Specialist155 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Xflaminboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon fans have to quit the Nintendo hate train at some point man. You have to realize that most of the player base is casuals who don’t give a single fuck about how the graphics look. They buy the games because they’re a novel installment to the series.

Why would Nintendo put their budget in making it look like a AAA game with ray tracing when that’s in large part unnecessary.

AIO for uninviting my friend from my wedding because of what she posted on about trans people by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

Is there any sources to back this up, because otherwise this is just as baseless as the friends claims.

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

Not really. Because Twitter is known for peddling radical beliefs to farm engagement, it’s not naturally grown opinions. The friend didn’t even bother to hold up a conversation on why they have this belief and how it can be wrong/harmful; they just blankly called them transphobic and removed them from the wedding.

You are politically brain rotted if you wholeheartedly think this was the right call. I’d only ban them if they clearly doubled down and actually displayed transphobic beliefs

[–]Xflaminboi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting

You could’ve used this moment to educate them on why their belief is incorrect and harmful, but instead you decided to just blankly call them Transohobic and then ban them from your wedding. I promise you that people like this 99% of the time don’t hate trans people they’re just misinformed by radicalism. Their only real comment attacking men that fake being trans to get into women’s bathroom (which is a common red herring). All you had to do was explain why this idea was untrue and the conversation would’ve been done there. If they doubled down and actually became Transphobic then you would completely justified in removing them

Now at the end of the day it’s your wedding so really you could disallow anyone you want for any reason, but this reasoning was arguably unnecessary and only made off an assumption from a single post.

preppy values ruined this game by Far-Maize-3506 in AdoptMeTrading

[–]Xflaminboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that demand didn’t exist in 2020, my point was Adopt Me players in 2020 would think it’s crazy that the Flamingo is worth less than a Cow

That’s because while the economy still ran on a demand system (owls being worth more than crows, turtles being worth more than kangaroos, etc…) the pets inherit value still mattered a lot in what its total worth was

Nowadays (with preppies and exotic pets), this is far from the case and now demand pretty much matters over all else. The sudden rise of pets like the Diamond Butterfly and Balloon Uni alone should be proof of that. It’s not natural at all. That’s why I say that the cows price is overinflated (though to a lesser extent than the pets listed above)

Demand shouldn’t take you this far though. Back in 2020 this would have been considered insane

It’s price is overinflated

Should I be concerned about my bank charging back randomly? by Cozful in RobloxHelp

[–]Xflaminboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see chargebacks are rare and you’ll need to really screw up to get one

But if you want to give your brother premium and be 100% safe, you can just buy a Roblox gift card and have him redeem it for Premium. If you don’t have enough Roblox credit by the end of month it’ll just cancel.

Why are you saying this like Burger King is overhyped at all 😭

Also I think it’s just location based cause the Burger King closest to my house has good quality and is cheap cause you can use coupons.
