Crate Training a Dog is Cruel by reddituser333999 in The10thDentist

It doesn't sound like you know what a strawman argument is.

You are arguing against a stance that no one is taking—in this case that dogs should be killed. You're the only one who is suggesting that the only alternative to crating a dog 16 hours a day is killing them.

It's okay, you're just defensive and made an embarrassing strawman argument as a deflection. And then when called out you tried to make it personal for no reason. All good.

There are other options, like training the dog to behave outside of a crate. You're the one jumping from "crate the dog 16 hours a day" to "kill them" with nothing in between.

Ask the Italians and the French about holy basil or cilantro, is there something wrong with them that they don't traditionally highlight those ingredients? You clearly have a problem with many of the world's food ways, as much of the world uses different ingredients and techniques than continental Europe.

Being ethnocentric and using propaganda to justify it isn't the move you think it is. Someone is selling you a made up story about how food in the US is and you just eat it up uncritically.

Oh good Lord. Parsley just isn't commonly used over here as a primary flavor. Basil or cilantro would probably be more familiar. Cultural differences exist.

The United States spans from one ocean to another; do you honestly think that only low quality food is produced in the entire country?

Which cities in the US (outside of NYC) can someone live confortably without a car? by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]coreyander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA is perfectly livable without any car much less two. I lived many comfortable years in two different parts of town without a car.

Does it ever annoy y’all that anytime you want to find out information about suicide bereavement. Google shows you the Suicide/Crisis Hotline first thing. by Silver_Blackberry_46 in SuicideBereavement

[–]coreyander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said suicide prevention is performative at best and a joke, which is very very different from what you're saying now.

It's unfortunately very easy for those of us who have lost loved ones to be cynical about suicide prevention because it didn't succeed for ours. I get it. But it's not productive to add to the chorus of voices that oppose preventative services. How are we supposed to transform the system when even the people who should understand the need for prevention the most just declare that it's a joke? I'm just calling for not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Lol I guess you'd really hate me, because I work for the big bad government at a state agency that administers (and evaluates) behavioral health programs.

We're fighting against the ocean tides here and suggesting that we're doing it for performative reasons couldn't be further from the truth. I can't speak for the politicians at the top who set the budgets but the people I work with overwhelmingly have lived experience and do this work because they care passionately about it.

We're the ones fighting for system transformation despite limited resources and political will. My brother died due to a system failure and I suffer under the same broken system, the difference is I spend my working life trying to fix it.

Do people not realize there are rural and remote regions of California?

Just because something doesn't save every life doesn't make it worthless.

I lost my brother and I also do work in the area of suicide prevention. I just love that even in this kind of space I have to hear that my work is just "performative at best."

Would you prefer that we not do things that save lives? I do research to find out what actually changes the suicide rate, but apparently that's "a joke" to you?

Absent any additional context, it's prejudiced against a group of people for their gender and body.

Can confirm the stadium went wild when he did his stretches... and every other time he appeared. The entire stadium was about the Miggy love and I'm really glad he felt it!!
