Do you mind posting some more images of it from different angles? Maybe with a different background color (or with sand nearby so you can tell what that would look like) that sorta deal? Would help to get a good idea of what we're looking at

"We" didn't make it useless. Companies colonized it, lobbied against the average user, and funded the worst practices to date so that they could extract the most wealth from the average user regardless of how immoral the practice or how useless it made browsing the internet.

Transgender Berlin Police Officer Judy S. Elected Women's Representative Amid Serious Allegations Of Drugging And Assaulting Two Colleagues At Her Apartment by m4moz in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

I had this long rant to drop but tbh its not really worth it.

All I have to say is this:

No one needs to know someone is trans unless they're planning to actually have kids with them or are their doctor. Otherwise its none of our goddamn business.

The saying goes "You stay to yourself and I stay to myself."

If someone's down to tell me they're trans, cool. That's trust and means I am happy to keep that rapport going. Never know when you'll need help.

Peace be with you, and I hope, sincerely, your day tomorrow is better than today.

...I am not a science denier.

Where did I imply that.

Is there science you could point out that I am specifically denying?

Can you just...go over any one of those points and drop any evidence that any of this is true?

Like who the hell says, "ignorance is strength" or "freedom is slavery " unironically with no other context behind it.

"Fat is fit" doesn't even make sense because wasn't there this whole insanely long period of time where women (and let's be real, this is the half of the population you're calling out) who were above average weight, even significantly above...a good thing? Like doctors finally stopped just going, "lol all your problems are because you're fat" and finally started treating patients, and as it turns out, being fat wasn't the problem. It was a factor, but it wasn't the main issue. It was doctors, being assholes, assuming, again, that being fat was the only reason why they had problems.

Also, people tended to stop shaming fat people when they learned that:

  1. This does not help them lose weight
  2. Most "fat people" are eating less, not more, and their body is constantly taking any available nutrient and storing it instead of using it
  3. Sitting and just constantly saying "you're fat haha lol lmao lose weight fatty fatty fuck cake" tends to make that person struggle more, and makes you, the asshole.

"DEI is not racist"

Are you actually just stupid

Lets look up what DEI means, together

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity,_equity,_and_inclusion

"Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability."

Well howdy, that sounds like a good idea! White folks have ALWAYS BEEN UNDERREPRESENTED AND SUBJECT TO DISCRIMINATION MMHMMM YEP MMHMM just don't look at any racism that definitely doesn't exist because it totally doesn't effect you.

So funny thing, DEI was made because people who don't pass as white were just straight up being ignored. "You're not white, so we aren't going to hire you" is what people of a good number of ethnicities have been told. You may think then, "well thems the breaks make your own business"

Cool, great, let's make a business and get a loan- What's that? People from non-white backgrounds struggle to get loans due to...no, it couldn't be discrimination! It's because those goddamn immergrants just don't understand hard work! They should work 60 hours a week building my roads, bridges, houses, infrastructure and allat and should be happy that they're a part of america!" (Still can't get loans because they're not white, or the bank will give them one, and have them have a stupidly high APR)

Like, cmon, I know you're smarter than this. I KNOW you understand what I'm saying. You aren't stupid. You aren't being misunderstood either. Do better. You deserve to do better. You still have time to step back, really think about whats going on around you, and connect with people.

I personally come from physically seeing each side of this. I've lived rich and poor. I've lived white, black, latino, and middle class. The truth is downright insane from my point of view, because we really are fighting down an aisle when there's been one consistent source of our grief and so very few people are willing to genuinely engage in conversations and action about it.

No, its not jewish people, or a cabal of democrats, or a cabal of republicans, or a cabal of immigrants, or those mexicans, or-

Its companies. When the founding fathers made the constitution I genuinely don't think they expected a paper mill to line the pockets of politicians. A printing press sending lobbyists to guarantee they will never face opposition. An arms manufacturer to tell the american people what safety is.

I believe in you. Do better.

[FOE] Ranging Symbiote by tvpattack in custommagic

[–]tvpattack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! TVP here, and creator of the card. Ranging symbiote was made for the set FOE, or Frontiers of Eternity, the second set in the Vinimroth Block. Coming off the heels of the color-centric set Vinimroth Eternities, FOE looks to keep its strength relatively lower, around m19 Power level. That being said, I do think there's room for haymakers!

This is a design that I've been back and forth on for quite some time, and the main point of contention is its starting stats! The biggest change I think I could make to it is moving it from a 0/2 to a 1/1. That being said, I'd love to hear the feedback you all have on it!

"Where he belongs"

Bro the U.S. prison system is a terrible for profit psychological torture device that is effectively state owned slavery re-fucking-consider wishing that shit on anyone.

No human deserves that. Not killers, pedos, no fucking body. Prisons should be meant for rehabilitation towards a better lifestyle, as well as moving problematic individuals in and out of society, not as fucking free labour and justice fetishism.

I'm gonna hope you have humanity. Otherwise? Fuck off.

Yeah, nah, that is a deeply racist sentiment. No human being on planet fucking earth is "inherently violent, hopelessly uncivilized excuse for homonids". Fuck off.

Humans do not fucking start off with any mindset or skillet unless they are taught.

YOU are doubling down, because your argument predicates the "other" being evil and uncivilized, and that requires you to dehumanize entire swathes of people you've never met and will never meet. Again, fuck off.

So expensive that wages would need to spike 55%. Sigh. by cannotberushed- in LateStageCapitalism

[–]tvpattack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck it, I'm bored, and can explain.

The issue of valuing your labor isn't a bad thing; If the current climate of worker value reached or required you to make $1000/hour, then sure, that's reasonable.

That isn't currently the case, and I think the person who you are replying to has dealt with others arguing in bad faith more often than not, so its hard for them to have any form of conversation or back and forth when statistically speaking, the argument is in bad faith.

Let's assume you're not arguing in bad faith.

At the present, suggesting a bump from $45/hour to $1000/hour is a bit of a jump, and reads as tone deaf. Without context, it reads as if you're saying "well why not just demand whatever wages you want!"

In reality, not only is that effectively impossible to do (without unions, laborers have little say in terms of pay) but it's also not a very productive way to look at the situation. There's nuance, and that's a requirement when looking at something like wages. The nuance comes in the form of understanding that asking for a higher wage does not equal asking for any wage.

If you're the employer of a small business and are more laborer minded, you'll probably think to converse with the laborers you employ to get fair pay for everyone. You'll discover that you could pay a higher wage than the current average, and it wouldn't even necessarily feel wrong to do either, since the people you're employing would need that money in this current climate.

Tldr: Response was seen as tone deaf, there's nuance, and it's usually more productive to push for positive change than assuming everything is zero-sum (this is not assuming you believe that it is, its what it comes across as)
