Second sentence was heavily sarcastic. I'm sickened by the number of Patriots and/or Christians in this country who have absolutely zero sense of responsibility, decorum, or even just basic "not being a fuckhead" instinct toward their fellow people. Like, I've seen assholes lay down fucking smokescreens of badly burned diesel on the interstate where everybody's trying to go 80 mph because they saw a hybrid vehicle. It's an ideology of toddlers and we have to pretend it's a valid belief system
They remember all the verses about what constitutes a sin, but none of the ones about not judging your neighbor or showing love for your fellow man.
No, I mean it's bizarre that a professor was able to force a university to let him be a **** to students.
"Look at me, look at meeeeeeee, pay attention to meeeeee, I'm doing a thing you hate and you can't stop me! Ha ha!"
Um...ok. Those two seem a bit of an odd combination.
The US throws way too much money at their military, much more than any other nation does.
I'm sorry but considering I've already presented the question to tell me what the difference is between Vaush and Hasan's positions and no-one here has been able to tell me the difference in their ideological positions I'm going to have to call this pure and simple sophistry because slotting me into a group I clearly am not part of for the purpose of basically smearing me and using that label as a way to attack me and force me to continually defend is in no way fair game especially when doing the same to you or others here by associating you with I dunno some hippy death cultist would no doubt lead to you crying foul.
So if you believe I'm wrong here kindly answer the question as to what the specific nuances between Vaush and Hasan's breed of modern marxist influence socialism are that makes them so different otherwise I have to question how you can in any way claim it is fair to slot me into a group I rather clearly have vast differences from, I mean it is rather blatant hypocrisy and "It's OK when we do it" thinking,
Yet I have and you have chosen not to counter it but try to deflect.
Because part of the unfortunate modern cultural Marxist idea laid down by former Russian propaganda operatives who defected is the idea of breaking down foundations of society and undermining it. Thus to some pushing the full cultural Marxist view everything is a target if seen as part of "The Establishment". To fix the world in their view every foundation must be destroyed and rebuilt from based on their ideas.
Hell even part of it is the decay in the definition or words to create a nebulous idea such that no matter what happens when called out a group can pretend they're something else. It's like when a bunch of people proudly declared on social media how they were social justice warriors. Then 2 months later were saying that Social Justice Warriors didn't exist.
yes because why take an actual position and have to actually defend it when that could allow you to los and instead argue from an every changing nebulous position and blame you opponent for not being psychic and not forever know what position you actually are taking. Kind of shows how much any issue matters in the end if you won't even stand by a position doesn't it?
Well too bad I'm here. If you don't want to have to deal with that I'm sure there's some subreddit you can go to to circlejerk about how awful people like me are while banning anyone who dares challenge your or your friends narratives at all with inconvenient things like facts and logic.
Not watched Flux (I was done after the Christmas Special before Flux) but I will say Chibnall did basically nothing to set up Yaz's crush on Thirteen before Flux so I really do wonder if it was him or another writing just plucking randomly from the shipping community to try and pull in some kind of audience there
The marketing definitely pushed itWait, are we talking about promotional material, or the show itself? Because in Vagrant Queen, there's a "thing" between Elida and Amae, but it happens naturally, and no-one bats an eyelid.
Also, while I'm here, I'm going to say that Vagrant Queen needs more love. It's as close I've got to finding something akin to Farscape bar GotG.
Glad some-one was able to state her job lol. But yeh it really isn't brought up much beyond maybe 1 episode briefly where we see her doing the job for about 10 seconds. I get others we didn't see doing jobs etc but with some we very much did or at least fleshed out more as characters living their lives.
I dunno if the students preferred pronouns were bun / bunself or some other neopronoun stuff or even Xeno pronouns stuff I'm pretty sure I'd refuse to use them and just use the students name (which even some are calling offensive because it's deliberate avoidance of using pronouns)
Using pronouns is not denigrating a student... And how often does a teacher refer to a student with a pronoun anyway? Maybe twice a semester if that. That's not a hostile environment or denigrating a student.
Is someone asking to be called say Bill instead of Mr. Smith denigrating them by continuing to call them Mr. Smith? Should I call up Michael Jordan and ask him if it's alright to call him MJ while talking with friends about basketball?
Same sentiment to those virtue signaling by buying electric cars. Where do you think the electricity for that car is coming from...? Toddlers on both sides. I even saw someone arguing online that it's OK to build Tesla's like shit without modular parts (that cost way too much to repair) because getting more Teslas out there faster is helping the environment...
A friend who's a manager at Target got reported by another employee because he wouldn't call her they but instead referred to her as Stephanie, her name.
Because they can tell when you're doing it specifically to avoid acknowledging their identity. This is going to come as a shock to you, but trans and nonbinary people are people too and have the empathetic capacity to recognize when someone is bullshitting them.
At scale, a coal or natural gas plant is less polluting than an internal combustion engine.
Yeah, running an old car for a decent amount of time, though not to too much of an extreme, in a vacuum, is better than building a new one
I mean, the big complaint is the total lack of empathy for their fellow humans, so they might *not* know
Straight up Captain Planet Villian shit, expect they are paying for the privilege. It's bizarre.
It is apparently against his religion to not be a choade. Nevermind how that makes his religion look
I can absolutely 100% guarantee you that there was more to the situation than just what you've presented here.
So you agree that calling someone by their name is something a person could get reported for? Do you not see how ridiculous this stance is. How is a spanish speaking person to refer to a non-binary person in spanish when they have to use either a masculine or famine word?
EVs running off coal electricity produce more carbon emissions than a normal car. Also the carbon required to make an EV is more than a normal car. I know EVs on average have less carbon imprint but it's not as massive as most people think.
That is everything I know and I have no reason to not believe my friend.
I think you'll find that denying someone's identity, particularly where they have reason to be very sensitive about it, tends to make them very upset.
You should realise this for yourself, if you decided to employ some empathy and imagination towards your fellow humans, instead of knee-jerk ideological disagreement.
