Topic | shit, Gorillaz new album is really disappointing |
hockeybub89 04/28/17 2:20:45 AM #9 | I absolutely love Saturnz Barz and Andromeda. Haven't heard the whole album yet, but sounds like the second half and all those interludes are quite a waste. I am legit mad that We Got the Power is a single AND the closing track. --- |

hockeybub89 04/27/17 9:30:47 PM #73 | Mal_Fet posted... AugustAdoulin posted...well this is a test from 2002. And it was aimed at people who have questions about their gender identity, which usually is trans people. As for the questions on the test, I have no clue how that stuff works. I'm not a psychologist (i'm guessing you aren't either Mal?). The memory and math problems probably does have something to do with males and females processing information differently. That isn't a stereotype, they actually do. Men and women excel in different areas. There still seems to be a certain threshold. We diagnose disorders when people have some level of whatever issue. There are 100,000 ways you could be social awkward. People aren't scored 100% socially competent or whatever. Some people are more competent than others and a certain level of incompetence may indicate a problem. There are no literal numbers. There's an overall spectrum and being far enough towards the one end means you have something wrong with you. Or look at autism. There's just levels of functionality. We don't call someone 20% autistic or something. No one is 19% while this other guy is 18.9%. Trans people's brains trend far enough towards the opposite gender that it causes them problems. An effeminate gay man is still masculine enough to be male, but he is still less masculine than Ron Swanson types. We don't need to figure out scores or anything. There is just a point where it jives with your sex. That is the only point that matters. People think I'm a SJW, but I do think that there are fundamental differences between men and women, males and females. I think gender identity is hardwired and think that along with talk of a gender spectrum actually fucks up their goofy ass beliefs. --- |

hockeybub89 04/27/17 12:44:59 PM #54 | Mal_Fet posted... No, because you can actually accurately measure one's politics through which policies they support, ergo it's not subjective. You can't be like "I support total military domination of the populace ruled over by an iron-fisted dictator. But it's ok, I identify as an egalitarian pacifist." All I'm saying is masculine/feminine is no more a dichotomy than left/right. I don't give a fuck about otherkin or whoever the fuck. I don't even understand how gender being a spectrum supports that nonsense. Everyone isn't equally left. Everyone isn't equally masculine. We don't need mathematical equations and scientific proofs to see that. --- |

If some female who looks like a man wants to use a male restroom... I dont care. There is currently nothing that suggests such, but who knows? Anything is possible given enough time and effort to research. That is true for anything though. Mal_Fet posted... No I don't, because masculinity and femininity are not measurable quantities. "100% masculinity/femininity" are nonsense concepts. I said it was crude. Don't be so dense. It isn't a mathematical concept. But femininity and masculinity vary. Spectrum is as fine a word to describe that as any. Political beliefs are an arbitrary human concept with no numerical value, but we consider them a spectrum despite anyone's best attempt to make it a dichotomy.a --- |

hockeybub89 04/27/17 12:00:23 PM #41 | Mal_Fet posted... Not conforming to one or more societal gender norms does not place your gender "in-between" male and female. A woman who cuts her hair short and doesn't like makeup is still seen as a woman by society, and the woman herself more than likely still considers herself a woman despite not conforming to every traditional role...unless she operated under a different definition of "gender". If gender is a spectrum, you wouldn't be "in between". There would be 100% masculinity on one end and 100% femininity on the other. And everyone would fit somewhere on the board. It's a crude concept, but would you not agree that everyone is not the same levels of masculine or feminine? You believe in the gender spectrum and you didn't even know it. --- |

And I couldn't bring myself to do it because I found my four options to run counter to everything I believe in and what I believe is good for the country. I guess I can maybe see what Bernie to Trump voters were going for, but it was so obvious that Trump was a giant fucking fraud. He and Hillary were two sides of the same coin. It was unfair of me to say Bernie-Trump converts have no values. I just have different values and think they should have known better than thinking Trump addressed their main concern. --- |

Or you're someone with absolutely no actual opinions, like Bernie Bros who voted Republican. We just really need to stop pretending the world is as simple as "left" and "right". Neither side is the true problem. Believing there is a dichotomy is. That is why we have this shit going on in America. --- |

Not because one of the two sides we pretend exists in the world has more or less annoying people. If you think one person is wrong and then another person who is supposedly on your "team" is also wrong, then that just makes them both wrong. Neither supports that person's beliefs. They should stay strong rather than treat their political and societal views like a bandwagoning NFL fan. --- |

If spirited debate is all that it takes for these views to die out, then why didn't it? If Nazis somehow take over part of America and build ghettos and camps, you can be sure as shit the military will intervene. There is a difference between silencing shitty views and stopping harm done in their name. The latter doesn't shit on the concept of free thought and turn your country into a dystopian hellhole. And I repeat, if government mind control is the only thing that will stop us from becoming the Fourth Reich or reinstating Jim Crow nationwide, then let's just let it happen. This country clearly isn't worth saving if that's the case. We're all just Nazis in remission. --- |
