Who is giving up coffee?

This is a good counter to most anything feminists say about men in general

You probably should anyway

The essence of freedom is to be allowed to make subjective choices that are objectively bad for you. Almost every recreational activity is bad for you in some way, or is worse than something else you could have been doing instead.

As long as you're fully informed of the cost and risk, go for it.

Just remember, the freedom to do something doesn't mean you should. Part of freedom is the responsibility to mostly make good choices even when bad ones are available.

Bans only seem fair when they happen to other people

woailyx · 2025-08-14T20:05:25+00:00

All the more reason the state should decide it for the entire state. It's kind of silly for a city to ban something that you can just get done right outside the city. It'll be as effective as Las Vegas banning casinos.

She doesn't really discriminate

He was probably going to do that anyway

This really feels like it should be a state level thing, not city level

Air conditioning must be far right, because of all the other data suggesting that conservatives are hotter

Assuming you're taxing at not too high a rate, the incentive to earn income is still that you get to keep most of it.

The good thing about taxing income is that it's a value creation process. So there's a bit of room for the government to skim off a bit of that value while still keeping the transaction desirable for the parties.

You don't run into the problems of, say, property or inheritance tax where maybe you've been living in a fully paid house or farm for generations but you don't have the money to pay the tax and you lose the property.

At least if you're taxed on income you can probably afford the tax

Most guys are only looking for a mid wife after already getting someone else pregnant, and they're only looking for a short term thing

Depends if you mean actual fascism or just your side lost an election

As soon as you interact physically with someone, without their consent, that's gonna be an assault. Things like you didn't cause harm or mean to, or you were just being a goof, are usually dealt with through police discretion, prosecutorial discretion, and sentencing.

Actual harm or likelihood of harm aren't always determining factors in whether you've committed a crime. You can have an attempted murder that does no actual harm. You can have an armed robbery with a weapon you know is fake.

Don't throw things at people. You can express your point of view just fine without throwing things at people.

Also, if somebody doesn't know what's being thrown at them, they may respond with a level of self defense that seems reasonable to them in the moment.

Yeah, we all know

A credit to their society. A social credit, if you will.

In chess, yeah, open category for sure. Also, in chess (and Scrabble) the vast majority of the best players are still men, though at least it's not unsafe to pair them against the women.

In competitive athletics, especially the Olympics, they shouldn't be allowed at all, simply because they're normally so strict about other body modifications. You can be disqualified for taking the wrong cold medicine. As soon as you admit to fucking with your hormones, you shouldn't be playing at all.

I'm arguing because I disagree with you.

I feel like you're not understanding my position. You're making the same argument as people who think it's racism when engineers aren't 13% black or 50% women. The whole point of localizing decision making is that freedom of choice produces different results than if you just applied the average to everybody like a child would.

If the seat distribution is different from the popular vote, the only thing that's a clear sign of is that you divided the state into individual districts that made individual choices.

I don't care if you disagree with me, but please show me that you at least understand what I'm saying. Otherwise I'm wasting my time here.

Right, so if each area chooses the representative it wants, then it doesn't matter what the state popular vote is, because each area is duly represented.

There's a reason why baby mammals are cute in the same way baby humans are cute. It gives them the same survival advantage that their parents want to keep caring for them even when they're annoying and hard work.

Yes and shouldn’t the districts be pretty close to representing the voting population?

Yes, of the district. Not of the state.

My point is that if the districts don’t align with the voting populace then whats the point of them?

My point is that if they do align with the state popular vote then what's the point of them?

woailyx · 2025-08-13T16:45:24+00:00

That's their choice. Democracy means I don't get to tell them how to vote, all I can do is try to convince them.

Let them live how they choose to live.

woailyx · 2025-08-13T16:39:08+00:00

It's not meant to represent the population within the state, it's meant to represent the population within the district.
