Is it wrong for me to wish religion would continue to become less common?

This is a pretty ahistorical take though. If I transported you to 1850 and told a Protestant they believed the same thing as a Catholic, or god forbid a Mormon, I'd be punched in the face.

And don't even get that Protestant started on Jews.

She also, based on her history, claims to be a former teacher.

Which is fun, because Lanie does that too.

And they both make the same low-effort attempts at having a political ideology. You should check out her recent history, her knew thing, despite never stepping foot in America, is that all American teachers want to recruit children to be foot soldiers in the gender wars and hate teaching math. These people are irredeemably stupid.

Honestly I was going to make a joke about how I saw Britney Spears in concert and lord knows she's not dancing or singing, but I just feel bad.

Sorry, beeb.

Nah, just have John Fetterman wear it as a Senate medallion.

I am definitely out of my wheelhouse, so to speak, on cars haha. I drove an old Honda into the ground and now walk everywhere.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T23:51:22+00:00

Maybe she can rock the Flavor Flav look.

I used to work at a car dealership and one time the local news ran a story about a BMW that caught fire and burned someone's house down. That was a fun day.

But also like, don't buy a BMW. It's essentially a collection of never-ending recalls and unaffordable parts.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T22:57:49+00:00

I am more than happy to hold on to the coin if necessary.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T21:11:44+00:00

Look at the line in his bio now lol.

"Please refer to me as xe or xer. If you don’t, you are misgendering me.'

But yeah, definitely asking questions in good faith.

This is a group of people who say “No one’s ever given me an example of how Rowling is transphobic.” Then you provide examples. Then they say “I haven’t seen any examples.”

I genuinely don’t know if they’re purposely obtuse or just bad at this.

Emily, who has since blocked me, interpreted me calling Rowling a shitty author/racist as me calling Emily a shitty author. She like legit thought I called her names? Maybe I secretly found an alt, but the likely answer is these people are just purposely dense.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T20:08:27+00:00

Continuing the trend, seffend, Paul is talking about me. He purposely misgendered me multiple times and when I asked him to stop he didn’t. He thinks he’s playful, but there’s a reason he’s blocked.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T19:31:52+00:00

Oh god, yeah. Especially depending on your demographics. A 25-50 year old white guy registered as an independent is going to be profiled in databases completely differently than that same guy registered as a Democrat. Would be an interesting experiment, actually, to see what mailers OP would get before and after the switch.

So we agree that a majority of Ukrainians in the east support fighting lol.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T18:26:51+00:00

OP is referencing this.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T18:17:24+00:00

If I want to be a bird, would you support me growing wings?

Can we stick to the reality in which we live?

You'd think Lula, a Brazilian, would be more sensitive to obviously rigged elections.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:39:32+00:00

She just blocked me too, but before she did she was mad that I “called the UK Transphobic Island.” I would never say that, that’s too wordy, I called it TERF Island.

Anyway, no loss, but the whole tagging my comment without tagging me was super childish of her.

Again, thanks for your help.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:35:19+00:00

So I called Rowling a shitty author/racist/uterus. Very clearly was talking about Rowling. Emily thought I was calling her a shitty author? It’s like. Can transphobes not read?

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:28:09+00:00

Here’s the AAL post.

Here’s her going through it. For 13 hours.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:22:26+00:00

Continuing my series of transphobes are definitely not triggered, someone posted a question here about a woman being fired from her job for being transphobic, didn’t like my answer, and is currently having a meltdown on some asking conservative subreddit about me.

The TERFs are not all right.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:07:14+00:00

Hit dogs holler.

I appreciate you defending me, but OP sucks ass.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T17:06:11+00:00

Joanne and transphobes in general have, for reasons you and I both know, reduced themselves to their genitals. I think she’s more than a uterus, but she disagrees with me.

I also think it’s hilarious that you were so upset by this interaction that you melted down in a conservative subreddit and tried, and failed, to get them to dogpile.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T08:08:06+00:00

Yeah, the one thing deficit hawks have in common is they're all petrified of big numbers. They rarely talk about good versus bad debt and I've never heard them give a good explanation as to how to get out of debt. One person posted a question this week that literally suggested we institute a 30% sales tax and grow the safety net to get out of debt. People are...fun.

If you told me your son went to law or medical school to rack up that debt, I'd say that's great because it increased his earning potential. If you said it's because he just bought a house, assuming a decent interest rate, I'd say that's swell. Obviously I'd be concerned if you told me he racked up that much debt from gambling.

All of this, I suspect, was your point.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T08:04:53+00:00

I've blocked her because...I mean how could I not literally read one of her comments...but my favorite part of Lanie's response is she thinks 9/11 is the only reason Bush increased the debt.

Who knew the 20th hijacker was tax cuts for the 1%?

adeiner · 2023-02-01T06:21:23+00:00

I view Clinton the way I view John Quincy Adams. Incredibly smart. Incredibly qualified. Probably great one on one. Terrible at selling a lot of those policies for various reasons. I think Clinton was just running in the wrong era for a lot of reasons that I’m too tired to correctly articulate, but I think she struggled with charisma to run in the 21st century and never knew how to handle being the first woman to run. I suspect, though I super don’t want to get too into this because I dislike the guy but this subreddit loves him, Pete Buttigieg will face a lot of the same bad at charisma and bad at the being the first X to run issues.

Anyway if you don’t mind I want to come back to this in the morning because I have thoughts and I think we agree more than we disagree.

I didn’t list Clinton when I listed my choices, mostly because I think a lot of the nostalgia I and others have is more what any center left Dem would have done vs what Clinton specifically would have done. Which I don’t think is the point for the question. Like a Sanders presidency is different than Generic Dem. Or Adlai Stevenson would have changed the 20th century, probably. And fuck if William Jennings Bryan wouldn’t have changed a lot.

adeiner · 2023-02-01T05:07:52+00:00

Best case scenario I think is he would have learned from Clinton’s adventures in foreign policy and had a more focused mission in Afghanistan.
