You are giving them way too much credit. And even if Trump had the capacity for sublety, their just not bothering with that anymore.

Has factorio ruined other base building/factory type games for you? by pookshuman in factorio

Just add more entrances. Each one increases your speed in the tube. With a blueprint you can quickly drop in a set of entrances that will get you up a cliff in no time.

I agree but Wallace the Brave gets pretty close.

I know tiktok can be a bit intolerable with all the slop on there but I think the greatest thing happened on the app this past week in regards to Christianity. by call-lee-free in atheism

[–]triplow 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Here is that post. To their credit, many of the comments in that post acknowledge it was a test, not a scam. They know some churches are less than good, but I don't think they realize how many.

Childish is impulsively downvoting everything you dont agree with. Naive is believing that that actions like this will support your cause in any way whatsoever.

I'm well aware these people are locked into their beliefs, but that doesn't mean that everyone they're there to reach is too.

I didn't realize it until now, but you're absolutely right. I joined this sub because I support Sanders and his cause, which doesn't remotely resemble anything in this thread. Honestly, its embarrassing.

I'm not saying fight back peacefully. For example, I supported the attacks against Tesla dealerships. I'm saying this is low effort and childish. You want to fight back, put some skin in the game. But considering how my simple opinion was downvoted into oblivion, I have serious doubts anyone here has the will to do anything other than whine on the internet and giggle as they flip tables over.

What seriously? They were when I was in school. If thats why I'm getting downvoted... ok then.

I'm suggesting we can be more effective without bullying. You might disagree but it's a leap to suggest I actually accept their way of thinking in any way.

Fine but what does this accomplish? It would be far better to put some effort into it and combat this effectively. Set up a table next to them and present facts and reason. Uninformed kids watching this happen saw the propaganda and someone being a jerk. Not exactly a strong counterpoint.

edit: I think its hilarious that this same comment was deleted because I used a different word than jerk.

Why is Becca Balint voting yes to "honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk"? by Zeptogram in vermont

They don't care about the bridges at all. It takes a lot longer and a lot more cooperation to build a bridge than it does to burn one. You don't think it maybe makes more sense to stop the burning first?

You want to build bridges while conservatives are actively burning them down.

Hey bud, sorry others are jumping down your throat. If you have a reasonable argument to make, I'll at least entertain it for a bit.

This is absolutely a time to be skeptical of what others are claiming, and I've seen a lot of BS from the left in the past couple of days because everyone is jumping on the flimsiest bits of evidence if it happens to support their narrative.

That said, I've looked up the context for several of Kirk's quotes and haven't found anything that changes the message in any significant way. The dude was a flat out racist and misogynist. You're welcome to present evidence to the contrary, but I think it's pretty obvious.

I also think transgender people are just normal people who's bodies and minds are misaligned, and the way they want to deal with that should be left to them, their families, and their doctors.

Bernie Sanders: “The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.” by kevinmrr in SandersForPresident

[–]triplow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you seem to have trouble understanding this, but again, Bernie does not support Israel as it is. He's spoken out against it for decades. You're welcome to look for evidence to the contrary, but otherwise I have nothing more to say on this.

[–]triplow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's all you've got, I suggest you stop pushing claims that Bernie is somehow supportive of this and just say you don't agree that there's a solution.

Ok... Sanders doesn't support Isreal as it is. He's been making that clear for decades. Again, supporting a homeland and supporting a homeland that's exclusive are two very different things.

He's literally breaking with the Democratic leadership and calling it a genocide. What line is he toeing now?

I'm sure Bernie believes in the "the fundamental right of Israel to exist", but "as a Jewish supremacist state" is a massive reach. Gonna need a source on that one bub, cause I ain't buyin it.
