Strange Poon posted:Watch the Democrats grow a spine then get real bold only to have Trump die on the shitter. I feel like if he died in office it would be a Bad Thing because then the media will be filled with articles like: “We need unity now, let’s stand behind Pence and be civil.” “That is no way to talk about a dead man, leave him and the family alone to grieve.” “Remembering Trump: his most presidential moments.” And then all of the investigations dropped because “it’s rude” or whatever.

Wark Say posted:The kids are alright. gently caress yeah they are. As  and feel good as that is, the point she’s making with her activism is that we need to do something now, because if we don’t it doesn’t matter that the “kids are alright.” It’s not enough to post on social media about how awesome she is or how you can sleep better at night knowing the next generation could be better people than us. Those are just words. We need action, and we needed it yesterday, but today is all we have so we need to do something today instead of punting it into the future.Edit: not saying you’re not doing anything or calling you out specifically, but yeah that’s kind of her whole point. She doesn’t want words or thoughts or prayers. She doesn’t want anyone’s condescending “wow she’s amazing and only 16” praises. She wants action.

cr0y posted:This is a recurring theme and its super creepy and gross and I am not sure if they are all pervs or are just too stupid to realize how creepy they sound. And like, the rest of “the west” have come to the conclusion that spanking children is harmful, has lasting (negative) impacts, and is no better if not worse than other methods of punishment/reward. But say that spanking children is bad on any right wing shitsite (like reddit) and you will be called dumb and stupid and be met with the rage and anger normally given to bicyclists, and given thousands of anecdotes about how they are totally fine despite daddy breaking their legs for stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. So these people saying she needs to be spanked are literally advocating for something that doesn’t even happen where she comes from. Edit: Which is amazing to think about because these same shitheads are always talking about how we need to follow the law of the land or to not impose stuff like “”””sharia law”””” on people but they turn around and do the same thing wanting to impose arcane punishment like torture (read: solitary confinement) and spanking children on other peoples, not to mention wanting to be ruled by gods laws whatever that is.

Wark Say posted:No, I totally understand. I can't unfortunately do much, but I do help with what little I can. Something that you, and most people, can do right now is to stop eating meat. That alone is probably the biggest most impactful thing any of us without money or power can do. Stopping is maybe asking too much though for most people, so the next best thing is to eat less meat.

He’s too far gone it’s not even worth it. Arglebargle III posted:WRT climate change, consumer choice action is a bad joke. A single fracking site emits more greenhouse gas in an afternoon than you could save in a year. I hate this thought process because you’re technically right none of us have the power to make changes that Nestle could if they wanted but so what? So loving what? Did you see the video of Greta being asked by some dipshit about how why we should do things like pick up trash in the ocean when other countries aren’t going to stop dumping it there? Greta’s response was that in Sweden they say the same thing, why should they, a small country, do much if anything when a bigger country like the US won’t join in. So yeah, why bother doing things like eating less meat when Nestle and Fracker McFrackson and other big corporations are gonna keep polluting 🤦♂️

fool_of_sound posted:The next best thing is 'stop eating beef', because beef ranching is worse that almost all other human agriculture combined. Yeah that’s true. But asking someone to stop eating beef is like asking someone to stop eating meat. The idea of such a massive change means most people won’t bother. Eat less meat is an easier message to sell though. Arglebargle III posted:True, I will stop driving my 50 million consumer cars and eating my 20 million head of cattle each year. Too bad even I with my superpowers cannot stop the other 71% of climate emissions. If only there was some entity capable of restraining people by formal codes backed by a monopoly on violence. You’re right. It’s pointless to do anything. Might as well not bother. 🤦♂️ theflyingorc posted:By your own numbers, if we managed to knock Agriculture down to effectively 0...we're still at 90% of emissions. If we all start walking everywhere instead of using personal vehicles, we're at like...70%. Which is a big difference, but also does not solve the problem. The long term trick is making it so that modern society's needs come from sources that don't spew carbon. I don’t know if you know this, but modern society is made up of people like you and me, and if enough people get together and do a Thing then society changes. mango sentinel posted:Individual consumers are incapable of stopping this, it requires government intervention to change.

ColdPie posted:Just to be clear: nobody said that it is. Yeah it’s not an either/or thing ffs. We can do poo poo like stop eating meat while at the same time demanding our politicians to enact policies. Stop being so negative and nothing matters because you’re just wrong. Something to think about : some years back Bernie was a “radical socialist” and “socialism” was evil and nobody wanted “socialism” and nobody talked about it. Today we have young progressive “socialists” making headlines, writing laws, inspiring others to follow their footsteps, “socialism” is no longer a taboo subject, and communities like this one is full of people that would identify as “socialist.” That didn’t start from the top. This came from a movement of people who got the message and pushed for it, normalizing it. This came from little people like us.

theflyingorc posted:You seem to be doing an excellent job of missing the point. So tell me what’s the point? That banning straws, choosing to eat less meats, etc, doesn’t really do anything because there are companies out there that put out more pollution that dwarf what we can affect? That in order for something to be impactful, that it needs to be directed top-down from world governments? Yeah I got those points. Who controls the companies? People do. Who controls the governments? People do. Why should those companies and countries do anything if we the people don’t make it clear that this is what we want?

Arglebargle III posted:Consumer choice is not going to make enough of a difference in the limited time available. That's a huge understatement. Stop eating beef and bike to work if it makes you feel better but recognize that that's all you're going to accomplish: making yourself feel better. Do you not understand that one person making an individual consumer choice will affect other people, hopefully spurring them the do the same, which given enough people will start a movement, which will make their voices heard, which could affect more action like full-scale boycotting, which would force the CEOs of companies to do take some kind of action? How many people seriously called for impeachment 2 years ago? How many called for it 1 year ago? How many today?

Revelation 2-13 posted:Gen x, boomer millennial... are not actual things friends. No real science supports the distinctions. They’re mostly made up by bad journalists to pretend there is some deep similarities depending on birth year, to write headline which sells, and now taken over by management consultants to sell new made up bullshit to dumb CEOs. All those words you used… are not actual things. They were made up by people looking for ways to talk about things to other people using a shared vocabulary and language so that they don’t have to painstakingly describe each thing they wanted to talk about.

As is seeing two nazis face beaten in. And celebrating the fact that a republican is dead sure. But come the gently caress on man, celebrating the fact that someone is being a normal person and looking devastated at the loss of her dad? What the gently caress is wrong with you?

TyroneGoldstein posted:With the amount of money spent on trying to find any dirt on the last Administration, if that tape existed, you would have already heard about it. They just drummed a member of congress who was ostensibly in a poly relationship OUT OF CONGRESS after she was revenge porn'd by her husband. She’s a victim in the sense of being a victim of revenge porn. That fact is completely separate from her being unethical and loving a subordinate, which is what she is in trouble for/resigned over. There are two separate things here why is it so hard to understand? Regardless of whether or not the revenge porn aspect ever came to light she still did an unethical and bad thing and should most definitely resign over it.

Lightning Knight posted:I don't think you can separate one from the other nor do I think you can say she only resigned for one. I agree that the context does matter, and I didn’t mean that they should be treated as two entirely different things but that there are two things here: 1) Hill loving a subordinate, which is unethical, 2) Hill’s ex (I presume) selling revenge porn, which is illegal. Regardless of 2, she should have resigned for 1. It may be true that if 2 didn’t happen then she would have never needed to resign for 1, but that doesn’t make 1 okay nor does/should it give her a pass. This is like people apologizing for something “if it was offensive.” You don’t apologize on a condition, you apologize unconditionally. Otherwise you’re only apologizing because you got caught. How they got caught doesn’t really factor into whether or not they should apologize for doing a bad thing.

"So I say, ‘Look, Doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen, please, and give me back my results expeditiously.'" His results.
