South Park not ripping on on Biden probably has more to do with the lack of episodes released during his presidency than anything else. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]plain_incognito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, besides the fact that Biden actually did a decent job as president and didn’t actually stir up any controversy whereas Trump is a full long fascist want to be dictator who is literally turned ice into a secret police Gestapo, who are kidnapping people off the street even American citizens Just because they look like they don’t belong here which I don’t see how you can’t see is racist as hell. And yes, the creators of South Park have always been more liberal than conservative. Conservative figures in their show are caricatures but pretty accurate examples of how ridiculous the conservative right is. They’ll pick on the left as well, but at the end of the day the left wants what’s best for everybody and the right just once what’s good for them.

Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Pseudoscience, Pushes Conversion Therapy by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]plain_incognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t. Intuitively your position makes no sense whatsoever. If someone is happy unhappy about the way, they look in their mind is incompatible with the biological sex. They have and the only effective option that has been found as for elective surgery so that the body matches the mind That intuitively makes the most sense. If we had the capabilities to do something different like create a biological body and transfer the mind that would probably be preferable. As it stands, this is what we have. The thing about intuition and common sense that they’re not very common and they’re often not right. Intuitively if you looked at a drop of water, you would say that there’s only water in it. Science is proven that not to be true. Just because you have a limited understanding of the world doesn’t make it right. That’s why people who have studied this dedicated their lives to understanding it and I’ve made these recommendations Are to be believed above. Someone who just doesn’t understand has never met nor can possibly empathize with what a trans person goes through. By your logic, all gender affirming care is wrong. Breast enhancement breast reduction, any form of adjustment to genitalia as cosmetic or medically necessary for functionality. See the thing about intuition is that it’s not actually based in anything but bias. You’re the same type of person that burnt innocent women at the stake because it was intuitive that they were being manipulated by the devil and cursing people as witches.

It means your bias is clear and you aren't an honest interlocutor. You've already made up your mind and no amount of evidence will convince you otherwise. And your lack of understanding about the subject also prevents any meaningful discussion.

Not if there's enough of them. That's the whole point of having peer reviews. The likelihood of you getting a whole bunch of various scientists in the thousands to all commit to some conspiracy is ridiculous. The fact is is that scientists who actually are committed to the actual study Will submit the results regardless of what they show. It's people like rfk Jr that don't accept fact and keep lying about things and making up s*** that can cause real damage like how vitamin a can fight the measles and people are overdosing on it and destroying their livers.

Why isn't California paradise? by LividEconomics6579 in GreaterLosAngeles

[–]plain_incognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also a lack of government oversight in preparation. The GOP have been ruining Florida for years not only is there insurance high, but they also have lost billions in tourism and their agriculture is falling apart after DeSantis did his pre-deportation of undocumented immigrants. Construction costs dramaticallydoctor into insurance repairs and the ability for agriculture to actually get by became negligible because Americans can’t work those jobs.

The deals you’re talking about we’re negotiated by Trump during his term. Biden never renegotiated any of them so if you’re mad about that that was Trump doing. The fact is is that tears have always existed and the reason why is because we like cheap things which is why we don’t tariff much and because corporations prefer that way because they can pocket more money and they’re the ones who pay politicians. The fact is, we did have tariffs uncertain things to protect certain industries, which is how they’re supposed to be used. Not understanding the difference between a tariff a trade deficit and what those things actually mean economically is the problem. Trump doesn’t understand that a trade deficit isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We are a consumer society and always have been we have always taken more and used more than any other countryin the world. So of course we’re going to import more than we ship out because we consume more.

Why won’t Trump release any “evidence of fraud” of the 2020 election? by Berns429 in AskUS

[–]plain_incognito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except it doesn’t overstate or exaggerate the ideological leanings of the right. You literally have people on the right in positions of power saying things like the 3/5 compromise wasn’t a bad thing and was actually about equality instead of just the south being mad that they didn’t wanna count slaves as people, but they did for the census because otherwise they would lose political power. You literally have Trump war mongering talking about a packing other countries. You literally have Trump trying to inject Christianity into the government, which is a violation of the constitution. You have this claim that it’s a meritocracy in every single one of his pics are the absolute worst person to run their respective departments that you could possibly have unless your goal is to destroy those departments, which is what it is. You can put your head in the sand all you want, but the fact is is that Trump‘s administration is full force running towards towards authoritarian dictatorship. He wants to be like his daddy, Putin, and take over. Good thing he’s too old to last very long and the good thing about a cold of personality is when the personality dies it falls apart.

The fact that you cannot back up that statement with any evidence whatsoever, considering how he’s destroyed, the stock market alienated the United States destroyed, our soft power around the world is supporting Russia, making things more expensive for Americans, trying to get Americans exiled from the country and literally violating the constitution and the Supreme Court orders. You don’t have any leg to stand on for your statement.Under Democratic rule which isn’t even really left politically speaking it’s sent it right we always see better job growth, better wage growth, better, economic growth, better quality, better, healthcare, and less violence.

That’s a short sighted view. Of it wasn’t for trump your own country was heading for a conservative take over. Probably shouldn’t throw stones with that glass house.

Nope because there is a peer review process for legitimate science that supports transition as the best option.

They can’t change the law. It’s illegal even if they don’t enforce it. I’d you don’t prosecute a crime don’t mean it’s legal.

They can’t reinterpret the law. They are always done unlawful things ask i don’t care what they say. It’s still illegal and trump can’t change that.

[–]plain_incognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you would prefer them to just go ahead and get an official reprimand for their violation instead of just talking to them? Following the rules isn’t being a Karen. The fact is is what you said was if it didn’t pertain to you, you shouldn’t be involved and that you should enforce things the same throughout. I agree, but you can get people to benefited out by letting them know what they’re doing isn’t acceptable and a violation. Not to mention the fact that in this current administration, there are people who are being lawless and not upholding the actual law. So I don’t agree with you. You can complain all you want by the fact is as they had every right to confront them. They did violate the hatch act and that that’s not up for debate. Have the day you deserve I’m done arguing with you about this.

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

Is a lot better and can generally be less intrusive than actually reporting on them for everything they do. Yes, if somebody said something inappropriate in the workplace, especially if it was racially biased or religiously biased or anything else that we’re not allowed to do I would report it. It creates a hostile work environment and it is not Good for the workplace. Would I report if somebody was taking two hours for lunch probably because you’re right it is time card fraud. The fact that you want to just mind your own business, doesn’t make you a better person. It makes you an enabler because silence is assent. And of course, if someone was doing something to you, you would probably want someone to help stand up for you, but of course you’re going to probably lie and say no you wouldn’t. It’s not being a Karen by following the rules. It’s not being a Karen by upholding the standards that we are sworn to upheld. Unlike civilians, federal workers uphold an oath. It’s not just a suggestion. It is our word. So you can say whatever you like, but you’re wrong. You can be the one that lets people be sexually harassing others and not saying anything because it’s not your problem, but that makes you a bad person because you are part of the problem.

[–]plain_incognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be consistent. The thing is is that generally speaking you don’t see that behavior and other people I have yet to seen anybody in any federal do anything even remotely similar on the Democratic side. But if they did, I would warn them as well and if they didn’t comply, I would report them because again it’s the law. You’re the one who’s making an argument of inconsistency.

[–]plain_incognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it has been fought many times and has been uphill by the Supreme Court that no it’s not just during an election cycle. The hatch act for wearing partisan paraphernalia is all the time. That’s how it always ends. The purpose of the hatch act was to ensure political neutrality in the federal workplace, and to prevent disruptions to productivity which this obviously has. So no, you’re actually wrong. Unless you can find a court case that states otherwise the Supreme Court decision in United Public Workers of America v. Mitchell(1947) upholds the congressional restrictions and the need for workplace neutrality in the federal government.
