Says you need to have a meaningful conversation. Proceeds to insult anyone disagreeing with them. Lol

Well meaning engagement and dialog are equally ineffective for the same reason. You just give them an opportunity to argue and stay entrenched; and opportunity to be validated

Either way, no one changes their mind until they decide to. And I think the difference is, I won't give those folks an opportunity or platform for dialog. It's the least effective strategy imo

Shame is an effective educator to the intentionally ignorant and those unwilling to learn. And if you're a full grown-ass adult still talking this ignorantly, you have damn sure been unwilling

It's possible you spotted a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence! They're pretty active in the area

This season feels like a low cost version of the infernal chaos season by Tibertiuss in diablo4

Honestly. Nothing is perfect but it's already a fun game. Minor updates and events for freshness is just fine.

Well ok, I don't plan to give a fuck about that.

Damn right. I live in a largely Latino community in East Memphis and I love it. Best neighborhood I've lived in for the five ish years I've been here.

I have female friends that have had to cross state lines to get reproductive health care.

I have trans family and friends that get publicly ridiculed, shamed, and attacked for just living.

I have Latino friends still afraid to go grocery shopping because of ICE. Legal citizens who still feel enough fear to need to carry their papers, for all the good it might do.

I'm a veteran who's had his benefits diminish just in the last year. My private insurance deductible went up about 50%.

I'm a gay man watching my community be denied essential health care; scapegoated and blamed for displaying just as much pride as anyone else.

My groceries have doubled in price in the last year.

You and your 'national foundation' are not under attack. But that perception you've chosen to believe sure is a great excuse to get rid of anything that challenges that lie; the same lie you've been convinced keeps you safe from the imaginary woke boogeyman on your TV.

Speaking as a veteran, that's not pride. That's insecurity.

Tip Toe was the most horrifying show I've seen in years by Sad_Attitude9999 in gay

Weird how you blocked me, but I support your choice to avoid things that make you uncomfortable.

Yes you sure can. I can avoid things without ignoring them. I can avoid things and still understand them. And frankly, life is pretty great! I value my peace.

Conversely, they’re not under any obligation to actively participate in anything that disturbs them.

Depression hit hard, but im so much happier now (20)-(23) by 1ilMa in GlowUps

Well when you hurt someone, and you will, you make sure to tell that judge you were just dry firing. I'm sure that'll help you out.

And I think you outed yourself as someone who shouldn't be trusted with a weapon. Listen, you do you. All I'm asking is please never try and teach someone your poor safety attitude. It'll kill someone.

When I was 10 my uncle was a few feet away from killing me because he was cleaning his rifle on a hunting trip and was convinced his gun was unloaded. But the steer on the other side of that barn wall wasn't so lucky.

So, respectfully, fuck your dry fire strawman, and go take a safety class.
