| eridania67814 02/09/22 10:40:59 AM #34 | professor_jack posted... We can start with 2 assumptions: Well, we do also have to assume something else: 3. Each platform is a private entity, with the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. This means, sure, that entity can, based on the opinions of their owners, determine they want the life of that creator to be worse due to the nature of their content. This also means there is nothing personal about the creator, because the entity cannot have "feelings" including whatever drives people to want to hurt another person. Asking if a platform, which is a business, which, regardless of the legal decision to consider a business a person, means the drive to remove creators from their platform has nothing to do with punishment. If your washing machine ruined your clothes, is it because the washing machine wanted to make your life worse? Whenever you're terminated from a job, does that mean the company (not your supervisor or boss) you worked for wants your life to be worse? --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

| Topic | AOC says Whoopi Goldberg suspension over Holocaust comments was unnecessary |
| eridania67814 02/03/22 2:09:44 PM #69 | FortuneCookie posted... If you say the Holocaust didn't happen, Exchange Holocaust with "the north Atlantic slave trade" and "post reconstruction policies" while you're at it. Whoopi didn't deny it or say it wasn't relevant. But it was said earlier that saying it was about Jews being killed for being Jewish totally ignores the other give or take 1 million non Jewish people killed for simply being OTHER. Too bad she wasn't quicker on her feet to offer that, because it's true. Could have been dispelled with "reducing the effects of the Holocaust to being about the Jewish people and racism denies the long reaching effects to the handicapped, homosexual and other groups of people." --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

I think the fact we would describe German and Polish Jews as a different race than the other Germans and Polish people is why we can't get certain peopleto accept the rest of us as Americans...

| eridania67814 02/03/22 12:56:21 PM #33 | Criminalt posted... From what I've read of the interviews and her apologies, she hasn't yet said anything that could reasonably be interpreted as trivializing, excusing, relativizing, or downplaying either the scale or horror of the Holocaust or blaming the victims in any way. That part. The same people who think Whoopi should be jettisoned from Earth for this moderate transgression are the ones who say "all lives matter" and "there's only one race: the human race" and ask why people of color always make it about race. But then double standards seem to be the only standards right now --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

| eridania67814 02/03/22 12:24:07 PM #80 | WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted... In a country with only two political parties that actually stand a chance of being the President I think "he's not the other guy" is an acceptable reason. If we had 4 or 5 legit people to choose from (Not the Libertarians, Green, etc.) I wouldn't accept that excuse anymore. Which, when reduced down to its core, is actually "he's not Trump" He doesn't walk around with his suit jacket open. He doesn't speak like he has something to prove, or that he's talking at people. I was literally hoping the same old same old would get the young blood Dems to group up for the next election, however I didn't expect so many non issues to be brought up to pose useless and also expensive distractions. I believe "He seems like a nice guy, one I could get a beer with" was used from another seemingly worthless president, so I'll use that. Out of all the other old ass white men who have had more than 4 years in politics, only Uncle Bernie would be preferable to greatGrandpa Joe.

If he had a lot of money for defense, it would have turned out differently, regardless of what was deserved.

No, I've called you dumb, not self aware, and many things I won't say here, because none of those are a measure of your spatial or numerical or other types of intelligence we might refer to collectively as "academic." Again, you hyper focus on a compliment, which won't spurn growth. You tell someone they're fine, why would they change? Spend more time and effort, not necessarily money, on broadening your perspective rather than chasing validation...or worse, trying to gloat about something that really isn't impressive around these parts. Pretty sure most of us have above average intelligence, and maybe autism, so it's not a flex --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

I guarantee you the rest of us, while trying to be generally understood, don't have time or room to make a carve out for your particular flavor of social unawareness. Which makes your "in good faith" arguments so highly subjective they may not be worth entertaining.

Womens faces dont look like that. We dont come like that. This, for sure. 11 is too young to be "watching" porn. Having seen it and watching are two very different things. This tells me she didn't have anyone telling her about sexuality and so she learned about it from the internet. I guess that's what happens with the younger generation. Porn is absolutely detrimental to sexual perception. It should be taken in moderate doses. Bodies look all different kinds of ways, she's wrong for speaking like that --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

We as Americans literally only share one trait: the audacity. This applies to everything, but is a blanket statement for fucking up, endangering ourselves and others, simply because we assume we have the right or that we can get away with it. When these small laws are enforced, it's to target poor or ignorant people or profit from picking and choosing what to enforce --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

| Topic | Terry Crews On Shower Debate: If you aint been sweating, you dont need to shower |
| eridania67814 08/13/21 2:30:06 PM #34 | Nemu posted... I'm pretty sure this is more of a "there exist people who can get by without it but many more people are just deluding themselves into thinking they don't need it" kind of thing. You're shedding stuff at all hours of the day, so it's not like you're literally the same all day even if you don't sweat. This. You shed hair, you shed skin cells, and if you're not ashy, your skin is excreting oils or something so it's good to hose off every day. I never understood the "I took a shower last night" crew because in your sleep, you don't know how much sweating and shedding and farting you do. A good couple of mid sleep hurricane kicks will make you think you stayed dry --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |

I actually answered somewhat because anything is better than nothing. I hate every single person in the US who claims "we were on lockdown for (any amount of time they say)" because we were absolutely not. If anyone had to go to work outside of healthcare and grocery, its not a lock down. Same with their claims of being masked, if people weren't wearing masks, it was like peeing in a pool --- Never in the history of calm down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down |
