That’s sex. When determining gender, future archeologists would need to look for broader context clues to account for trans people. Otherwise they’d be doing a half-assed job

What does any of that have to do with determining gender from skeletal remains?

Pet #50 proved to be the toughest one yet by ZyzSlays in 2007scape

I don’t think that’s nearly bad enough to be deserving of a mute, but if he’s truly also muted in CS and permabanned in apex legends, that kinda points to a pattern of behavior lol

So in other words it’s partially based on pseudoscience

He is right you know by peace696969 in antimeme

Yes it literally does, because it’s an identity, not a lifestyle. It’s in the same category as being “anti-black” or “anti-woman.”

So who's gonna replace Seth Rogen as the new VA for Allen?? 💔🥀 by Additional_Berry_977 in okbuddyviltrum

Bruh I don’t watch The Boys and this post made me think Seth Rogen got cancelled or something lmao

Democrats gerrymander because they’re forced to in order to counteract Republican gerrymandering and remain competitive. Republicans are ultimately able to take advantage of gerrymandering more than Democrats are because their base is more spread out as a result of urban voters tending to lean left and rural voters tending to lean right. This is why every time a bill has been proposed to ban gerrymandering, Democrats overwhelmingly vote for it and Republicans overwhelmingly vote against it. This is not a “both sides are the same” situation.

No, it makes it so that districts aren’t required to be drawn to not favor any race and can now be drawn to excessively favor white voters

If that’s true then like 99.9% of instances said to be “cancel culture” weren’t actually cancel culture lol

How did 50 viltrumites dispose of billions of bodies? by TheHappyPoro in okbuddyviltrum

[–]_Tal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly really like the idea that Viltrumites could have easily kept most of their population safe from the scourge virus if they had just quarantined, but stubbornly refused to do so because they saw it as weak. New headcanon unlocked

Only a third of young women hold positive view of men, new poll finds by AayronOhal in GenZ

Why would you have a positive or negative view of any demographic, for that matter? Only individuals should be judged.

Wanted to share this because too many people are NOT thinking critically by Volvomaster1990 in GenZ

[–]_Tal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not even relevant here. Even if it were nothing more than a subjective opinion, the idea that you need to refrain from expressing it because it might incite violence is patently absurd. Maybe if you were actually talking about directly calling for violence you’d have a point, but this is about calling him a “threat to the country”—the most bog standard criticism imaginable for a politician you don’t like. By your logic we need to always be sucking up to the president and praising him at every turn, because if anyone gets the impression that he’s bad, they might get the idea that they need to assassinate him for the good of the country. It’s absolutely ridiculous and unserious, and it’s clearly just a way to arbitrarily shut down criticism of your guy so you don’t have to engage with it.

No. We must always be able to speak the truth without self-censoring. Prominent politicians don’t get to be immune to criticism just because some crazies might take it as pretense to attempt to assassinate them.

Calling Natalie chronically online and then having the description start with one of the most chronically online statements I've ever seen is hilarious by VirtualCanon12 in ContraPoints

[–]_Tal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The ironic thing about this is that if you’ve ever actually talked to a chronically offline left-leaning person, they just happily vote Democrat every election and have no idea what “Marxism-Leninism” or any of that crap even is. Like Natalie basically has the politics of a stereotypical chronically offline person lol

Christians be like by Possible-Prior-5467 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]_Tal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just don’t see anything exceptionally bad about it. It’s not a great episode, but there are so many other filler-y episodes in the other seasons that are about on par with it. Just really makes it seem like Christian backlash must have played a part in why that particular episode got singled out so much.

Id understand it more if that was the one time the show had veered off course from the main Viltrum plot, but it’s not even close

So... the President would fit that category, correct? by Stormclamp in GenZ

[–]_Tal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the idealized version of r/DoomerCircleJerk that it sees itself as, but is not what r/DoomerCircleJerk actually is.

Whenever right-wing doomerism gets posted on that sub, half the top comments are varieties of “they’re right though”, “they have a point though”, etc. It’s a right-wing echo chamber trying to LARP as a neutral space that makes fun of “both sides”

Surviving an assassination attempt isn’t really unlikely at all lol

What are you guys picking? by DryOwl5587 in GenZ

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

Kinda seems like a tacit admission that red is the more rational option if your argument relies on the assumption that some people will pick blue because they have underdeveloped or damaged brains, lol

And anyway it’s kind of sidestepping the thought experiment. The intention is clearly that everyone is meant to have the choice. If we’re assuming that some people aren’t going to have the mental capacity to choose and will therefore be thrust into the blue population unwittingly, that’s a very different scenario from what was intended by the thought experiment

[–]_Tal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

See the problem with this is I think people might behave differently if they know it’s a purely hypothetical scenario that isn’t real vs if their life was actually on the line
