ok then.

here is the point of argument: JP had made some people the targets of harassment and cruel mocking. E. Page is a great example, he went out of his way to target this person just because of sexual orientation/identification. He has targeted minorities, LGBTQ, liberals, etc, and he has perpetuated toxic masculinity as well.

at the same time, he becomes mr empathy and weeps and asks for compassion for incels.

isnt this a bit contradictory, if not amazingly hypocritical?

I dont see how a hypocritical person being contradictory is relevant to the question of should incels be given more compassion.

Unless your argument is that Peterson isnt sincere. But people being more genuine to personal sympathetic causes isnt exactly outlandish either.

Cant one be an agnostic theist?

Have you not been paying attention to the manufactured controversy over the last few years involving this?

I dunno why youre doing the fake shock thing instead of elaborating.

Do you think most left leaning people think trans women athletes should compete with cis women?

I dont. Thus, I dont think its a left vs right thing.

But I dont want to derail the topic, so we can agree to disagree.

Some sections of the right have mercilessly mocked womens sports for decades. In particular the WNBA and the womens soccer team.

Now these same people suddenly care about the integrity of the sport when a trans person starts competing in them. What theyre doing is really obvious.

I dont think the trans athletes in sports is a right vs left thing at all?

You realize this just shows how vacuous your position is, right?

I would presume the folks who want trans women to be able to compete with cis women is because they care about trans people having a fair shot competitively.

Folks who dont want trans women competing with cis women presumably care because they want cis women to have a fair shot competitively.

Neither side is particularly a fan of womens sports in general. But everyone can be empathetic to the plight of unfairness.

So the argument of You never cared about womens sports before! is always silly because thats ignoring the reason people care now.

GranolaPanic posted...

The people that claim to care about trans athletes competing in womens sporting events never cared about womens sports beforehand.

They only use it as a political cudgel.

The same can be said about the opposing side, so I dunno why this is constantly a rebuttal.

Nobody cares about womens sports.

My problem with the ghosting question is that people cant do a middle ground.

Like Most ghosting is done digitally. Literally state things arent working, and then ghost. That would fix 90% of peoples problems.

Even in that Twitter thread, people say the issue with stating things is that people try to convince them to date still. But people overcorrect entirely and just outright ghost without a word.

Its lazy and weird af to me. Just send a quick I think were done because (insert reason here).

Then ghost if they aint accepting the reason.

I think TC is moreso referring to trans related things than gay ones.

The lazy example is trans athletes in sports. One can disagree with trans women competing with cis women without being labeled as phobic.

I dont understand why dudes say they choked or screwed up if they dont reciprocate flirting.

You dont have to be interested in every woman who shows interest in you. Nor are you someone who sucks because you were not interested enough to continue a conversation.

I dont wanna be that guy.

But isnt the prevalence of dudes acting so desperate and cringey at the smallest sign of niceness an indication of a larger problem?

I feel young men arent being taught right. Like, getting a girl is way too important for folks. Its not healthy at all.

Sorry but please don't play that game. It would have been just as easy to say those words are never acceptable. How do you account for that?

How very AllLivesMatter of you, bro.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

They're only unacceptable in a workplace environment? The fuck are you smoking

When did the post claim that?

Its not as bad, but its bad enough to be extremely unprofessional and not used in professional settings.

Since the target of the slur is not as common to be around as the n word, people will bend backwards to claim its not that serious tho. Just fyi.

People also rarely use the r word for people with mental disabilities, ironically. At least in modern usage.

The N word however typically is used for black people.

To the folks who say the guy should have left..

It sounds like she threw things either out of his cart or things he placed on the counter.

I doubt all he was buying was some bat wings.

My issue with folks who suffer from mental health issues is that being an asshole and having mental issues are not mutually exclusive.

Its possible to have trauma and have unknown triggers while still being a decent human. Tossing his stuff and screaming over staff trying to help you is not acceptable. And its ugly for folks to expect the guy whos stuff was thrown to just go to another lane. Thats unreasonable.

I thought it wasnt hot until an ex actually said it.

It immediately converted to hot.

Jesus. That SUV was flying. At least the little girl is okay. A second later and this would have been a tragedy.

Eh, it seemed to be going normal speed to me. Just didnt yield to flashing crosswalk.

Definetly a case of pedestrian assumes everyone is a good driver.

I think the car ran over the scooter. Which makes it a miraculous miss tbh, and good thing nothing else happened because the driver had no interest in stopping.

I used to do directory assistance for Indianapolis, 411. There is a suburb of Indianapolis named Fishers. Sometimes businesses in Indianapolis were listed as being in Fishers. The callers from Indianapolis kept arguing with me that the business was located in Indianapolis proper, not in Fishers

Fishers is a city of Indiana.

Then what does the + in LGBTQ+ mean?

I thought that was to cover spectrum of folk who are nonbinary.

Bah. Ill research more. I thought transgender meant you transition from one gender to another.

FaultyCircuitry posted...

Nonbinary people are trans. Sorry sweaty

What?

Can someone else confirm?

FaultyCircuitry posted...

This is an opinion that very much tends to be

Nobody cares. Youre assuming traits not stated.

Most people arent belligerently bigoted. A normal person can think there are only two genders and still respect trans people. Since trans people are one of two genders.

Its non-binary folk who would be in the crosshairs. Even then, I dont think its crazy to view Im neither boy or girl as not a gender.

Out of shape in what way?

I dont block anyone. I wanna experience all the love and the hate >_> Blocking makes you weak

A rare instance where I agree with Neon.

Avatar and Titanic are the only two that arent piggybacking off a prior movies success.

Kinda sad, tbh.

I always say the folks most in danger if my doctor tells me I have a week to live are pedestrians.

Stupid dork just walking on the curve along traffic. At least walk against traffic so you can see the incoming vehicles!

I especially despise the regal walkers who refuse to walk in grass.

Fuck you.

I dont doubt the dude in the OP actually said that in response but

Are we legit at the point where we just snip 2% of someones response without the question even being in the video? The dude was clearly going to say more. We dont even know what hes replying to lol.

Never heard of the Q word.

Im guessing its queer.

I mean..

Boy, girl..

Arent the other genders just saying one of those two? Theres non-binary, so three makes sense.

But youre a combo of those three, yea?

lennethsoki posted...

Is that actually a thing? Being so socially and emotionally maladjusted that alcohol is necessary to do that? >_>

Bro, I legit only say I love you when drinking. Lol.

So much better than being sober. I can actually emit feelings and shit.

Super relieving. To just not give a fuck lol.

Jay Z's advice will be "if anyone ever offers you $500k or a dinner with me, take the money."

Yo, Id pay money for this scenario to play out in real life lmao.

Thats fair.

Was just curious since the other poster didnt really follow up.

Just brush your teeth later

Not a good snack if I cant reliably eat it anywhere as Im not carrying a toothbrush everywhere.

Isnt science always changing? I figure things are discovered as we learn more. I feel treating our current scientific findings as concrete and factual is ironically anti-science.

What would you say to that observation?

As far as the time machine stuff, I think its okay to acknowledge that for the most part, people tend to align with the community they are around. People tend to follow the religion of their parents. Or on a smaller scale, people tend to bank where their parents bank.

Obviously individuals can deviate from the norms of an environment, but I wouldnt give folks flak if they dont is my stance.

We currently live in a world where persuasion isnt exactly being promoted instead of shutting down conversations. So I worry about those who cant deviate on their own changing.

Okay, real talk. I dont know who Keffals is. I recently discovered Destiny from an Aba and Preach video.

Ive watched a bit of Destinys stuff, and he seems to have pretty decent takes. If not, he atleast can explain his reason well enough. He says stupid stuff occasionally (like how buying a home is a terrible investment for most people), or sometimes makes really questionable and cringy jokes (like how he claimed the biggest difference between a black girl and a white one is that the white one wouldnt care if he used the N word during a podcast).

But seeing as hes apparently from the gaming community, edgy humor seems to be par the course.

I asked for an example of when hes been against trans people. And the only answer I got so far was:

also making the 41 comment i mentioned above also makes you a bigot

Now, I tried to let the topic run and see if anything else comes up.

But I just want to be clear. One joke is enough to make someone a bigot? Specifically a joke from the past? Specifically when hes not had anything similar said or done in recent history? Do we even know the context to why he said it?

Is.. that the criteria were using?

The post is a good litmus test for bias.

If you just have no faith in cops, globally, youre gonna think that its for enhanced violence only.

But the phrasing of the post, to me, made me immediately think it was for some medical purpose. Especially since its not America.

I kinda wish zombie stories would stop going the apocalypse angle.

Just do a personal and enclosed story. Either via quarantine or a secluded locale like the mentioned cruise ship.

My suspension of belief would be tamed.
