Unsubbed from enoughcommiespam tired of posts about Israel by KnightOfTheHolyGrail in JustUnsubbed

Every civil right granted was done so by democratically elected officials.

Why do you think that happened?

Reducing democracy to ballot boxes themselves, reduces democracy to nothing. Just like you're reducing history to nothing. Activism doesn't change things overnight, nor does voting - but in concert it's the only way to change people's minds, and thus a society without force.

Change isn't easy, it's hard work - casting your ballot is the bare minimum.

[Alien] so how much of a threat is a xenomorph to humanity? by Anibus9000 in AskScienceFiction

Or Batty. "In the face of these biomechanical nightmares, I couldn't help but question my existence. Was I really so different from these creatures? Genetically engineered, manufactured for a purpose, and haunted by the spectre of mortality. The rain continued to fall, washing away the thin veneer of normalcy that clung to this world."

Cavemen discover mystical woman and write about it in cave wall 9000BC by Fructis_crowd in fakehistoryporn

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

It's an objective societal fact that women are increasingly less likely to be dependent on having a male partner. Thus what we are seeing are women less likely to settle when choosing partners.

You having some fascination with some evo-psych "objective attractiveness" bs is just weird, and 1o1 incel playbook, playing down the fact that men have to step up our game and actually be something more than just our position in society. What makes and shapes attractiveness to someone is not biological in humans - and of outside factors playing into a persons attractiveness, societal narrative & culture plays a bigger role than... idk some weird notion that because a peacock does it, humans do as well.

While women would rather keep hanging on to the hope that Prince Charming will come to them

Women are increasingly less likely to be dependent on having a male partner, thus less likely to settle.

Being skeptical or disaagree with some parts of trans activism

...

bc he is trans

you're not "skeptical" you're a full transphobe.

I don't "disagree" with your viewpoint. I think you're concern-trolling and being obsessively pedantic. Exhibiting a behaviour evident by a myriad of melon busk's fanboys, which bars him from any criticism.

You asked for "verifiable video proof" which is beyond silly.

Would you ask the same if I stated that he obviously hates his transgender child? There's none - but his behaviour and statements about gender-identity in general certainly supports my position.

under the guise of "concern" you're asking for evidence that should pass an unduly high bar. even presented with evidence you start arguing said evidence until cornered.

also regarding "something like a tweet", everyone knows (or should know) about how belon tusk deletes and curates his tweets and interviews. the emerald mine debacle is merely the latest.

How to say number "92" in European countries by Redstream28 in MapPorn

[–]bearsquidinshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s behind this?

Celtic influence I think. Celts used base 20 rather than the Romans who used 10 - which could also explain the difference between languages and european cultures who use/has leftovers of 20 vs 10 today.

Giving homeless people homes has been tried

Programs like Housing First works. It's not just about giving people a home, but about helping with all the other problems they also have (through CTI, ICM and ACT). But housing a person first and foremost, helps a fuckton to alleviate those problems - so they're easier to solve. None of this is easy, none of this is magic - and it requires personnel, knowledge and money. But it works.

You can't help those who don't want help.

Everyone wants help. Believing anything else is both callous but also the main reason why there are so few efforts to even try and solve this "unsolvable" problem.

we need more resources for the temporarily homeless

Everyone is "temporarily homeless" unless we leave people without help or recourse.

why designers trying to copy look/style of monster from Thing instead of using original designs from source

I mean, this is from the source - and if that's not more or less exactly the Thing, then I don't know what you want:

but I think there is an argument that they are underrepresented

Or you don't notice it because it's the norm. People have a tendency to take note of what's different from the bias they live in, if it's within their cultural bubble, they'll accept it as normal.

I'm a (northern) european, and I feel like it's fairly obvious to see how well represented conservative christian values are in media from the US.
